ArbOr Day.
GOV. TulIcr's Proclamation Naming
"Wednesday. May .,

GOV. IulICr'- Proclamation Naming
Wednesday,. May ..
In accordance with a custom becoming
universal among our Sisterhood of states,
| do hereby designate and appoin, Wednes-
day, the 9TH day of May, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-four. As Arbor day. Our people.
and especially the teachers and scholars of
our public schools, are urged to so observe
the day that its results may be felt with
each succeeding year The formation of
village improvement societies. in the small
er as well as the large communities, will do
very much toward making our state yet
more pleasant, attractive AM healthful.
Nothing is more preiudicial to the materi-
al interests of the state than the destruc-
ton of our forests, while nothing is more
conducive to the beauty of the landscape,
the charm of the home, or to the future
value of the soil, than the ludicious plant
ing of trees and Shrubbery. The cultiva-
tiOn of forests-eNtensive, tar-sighted ar
borculture-has become in many states a
settled policy that oar citizens would do
well to emulate. Bare slopes and hill-tOps,
parched and dry in the hot summer sun,
would thus, in time, be again covered with
| the growing vegetation, which would shell
/ ter and sustain the leSsening rlls that
/ feed our failing streams; while the wan
ton fire and careless axe should be guarded
against, the care and protection of the
flower, plant and tree encouraged, that, in
our waving pines the insignia and trali-
tons with which our state has come down
to us, may be perpetuated to later genera
tiOns.
Given under my hand and the seal OF
the state, at Bratteboro this seventeenth
day of April, in the year OF our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-four,
and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and eighteenth.

DAILY INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY. AUGUST o, 1894 i.


Situated as we are, remotely from
the scene of strife that is now rending
the heartstrings Of our fellow beings
in the land of our parental homes, we
suhold feel a grateful satisfaction In
the possession of the prospects that
are now before us. There are seven
quartz stamp mills in continual opera
ton in the vicinity of Juneau, with
an aggregate capacity of 912 tons OF
ore per day, allowing two and one-half
tons to the stamp. These mills to-
gether with the mines from which the
ore is extracted, employ a great mum.
Der of men who all receive fair re-
enumeration for either their labor or
their skill, and as a result, strikes or
labor disturbances are never even
talked of by the employed, nor is there
an organization of any kind in the
district. We have our homes i'll
land beyond the influence of the
great center in population, and be-
sides we are too much occupied To-
cally with the Developments that are
in progress to seek in any way to de-
preciate or retard the advancement
Of our business enterprises by conten-
ton.
Juneau is gradually losing it's
primitive appearance as a mining
camp and on the ground where once
stood the primeval forest or the log
cabin of the pioneer, beautiful and
comfortable homes and extensive
business blocks are being erected on
every hand. Many of the buildings
are quite imposing, and add a pleas
ing effect to the town in an architect
ural way, besides conveying the i'm
preston of prosperity by their sub
stantial construction.
Our business men are realizing that
the mining industries are becoming
more productive and permanent
as we'll as more numerous, and that
to meet the increased demand
large and more convenient business
houses are necessary to handle the
trade.
That it is evident that Juneau is
destined to maintain its prestige as
the chief commercial and mining cen
ter of the farther Northwest, as geo.
graphically situated its location
justifies, being situated near the head
of navigation, and ut point on the
mineral belt in the vicinity of it's
greatest lateral and longitudinal apex.

November was ninth (novem) month

Christmas has conquered all classes.

time of shortest days and longest
nights is turned into the season Of
greatest cheer and hllarity.
