The origin Of the controversy be.
tween tile United States and Great
Britain, which the award of the En-.
peror Of Germany has settled In favor
Of the former dates back about thirty
years. All the territory north Of the
Columbia river was then claimed by
the British through the Hudson Bay
Fur Company. This claim would
have cut Us off from that portion Of
Oregon then north Of the Columbia,
now known as Washington Territory.
The United States claimed from the
line dividing from Mexico on the
south to tifty.four degrees and forty
minutes OF north latitude, which would
have taken III all Of vanconver's Island
and much Of British Columbia. This
was one OF the party questions In
1914, and had great Influence in elect
Ing Mr.. FOLK. During Folks Admin
lstration d compromise was agreed
upon through the management Of
James Buchanan, then Secretary Of
State, the two countries agreeing to
accept the forty-ninth parallel as the
dividing line. But on finding that
this parallel would divide Vancouver's
Island. It was again agreed that the
boundary line Of that parallel should
be SO detected as to give all of that
island to the British, the principal
channel being taken from Juan de
Fuca to the Gulf Of Georgia. Here the
matter rested until 1853, when a Joint
commission was ordered to survey and
fix the line according to the stipula-
4 y
tions Of the treaty. These commits
sioners had no trouble IN this until
they came to the waters Of Puget
Sound. They had no trouble in fol-
lowing the forty-ninth parallel, but
when they came to defect Through
the principle channel " connecting the
Gulf Of Georgia and the Straits Of
Juan de Fuca, they could not agree
on 1.-THE principal channel" The
British claimed Rosario Strait. quite

the Canal de Haro. sixteen miles
across. Between these Hes the San
Juan Island. The possession Of this
island would Be determined BY the
channel selected. 10 decide which Of

The horse contagion which Is now
visiting the cities and towns OF the
East, has proven source Of great In.
convenience, loss and misery not only
to the owners Of these stricken animals.
but to the people In general. Street
cars. omnlbuses, hacks drays, carriages,
express wagons, private ccnyeyances,
even funeral Corteges must cease be-
cause Of this epidemic. The wall Of
distress which comes at almost every
fash Of the electric wire, tells us how
keenly Is felt The deprivation. Never
was the value Of this noble leTIaduped,
the horse, more highly appreciated
tlan now. Al thousands OF horse
owners suffer for want Of employment,
as business stops for want Of tEanspor-

have always done, the importance Of
the horse, bis patience, his taithtulness

strike any one who will examine them as almost
fauitless. The patent of 1865 is different from
the patent of 1871. The honey is gathered on
wooden troughs in the former, and in glass boxes
in the latter. In the 1871 patent, you can see
more satisfactorily the entire process of opera
ton pursued by the Bees. and the condition of the
Hive, without disturbing the Bees. These Hives
are pronounced much superior to the well known
Longstroth by competent judges who have exam

The Valley Chief
Reaper and Mower,
THE ONLY MACHINE MADE IN THE SOUTH,
AND THE BEST OF ALL!

I am agent for the celebrated VALLEY CHIEF
REAPER AND Mower, acknowledged to be one Of
the best machines in use. The Valley Chief is
in the hands of good many of the farmers of
the Valley and has given general satisfaction.
In buying this machine. farmers do not pIr-
chase an untried machine. 1t has been fully
tested on all kinds of lands and in all sorts Of
grains from tide water to the Allegheny noun
tains and found to be all that is claimed for it.
It has given more than satisfaction, and is rapid
ly taking the lead of Reapng Machines through
out the country.
This machine being manufactured at home
at Richmond, Va. farmers will not be subjected
to the trouble, expense and annoyance in supply
ing broken parts, which will be the case if the
machines were made in distant State; for no
agent can keep on hand such a complete assort-
ment Of extra parts as to be able always to sup
ply broken part. This is certainly an impor
tant advant ge in the machine we are selling
The trouble and annoyance that breakages cause
to farmers is Of the greatest objections to
Reaping Machines

of the Valley Chief furnished by Gen. W. Il. F.
Lee and others:
