TO labor agreements recently entered into

formation Of unions among all classes
or laborers some time ago, no such
We1ghty question has come up as the one
now agtating them.

place when the Klondikers struck town,
and one and all wanted a shave The

Not a barber could be found up In the
uptown shops who woult OPEN and the
miners riiiin were unwilling to go about town

~ visible Some Of them chung fervently
to the habits OF civilized life and felt
that NE would not be worth living with
out a shave or haircut. Some did not
want to look like Klondikers. They were
afraid, perhaps. that they would be mark

tion and opened their shops. The news
of the disaffection spread quickly. and
in short time others were ready for
business. Yesterday dire threats were
being called down upon their heads by
those who had remained faithful to the

but the union men are confident that the
offenders will be summarily dealt with
by the union. Measures will be taken
at n meeting which viii be held tonight.
The Kiondikers are also responsible for

with an engraving Of a tree, and printed
Oh it the following bit of tree history
Scattered through the forests of
Washington are gigantic cedar trees
that fell untold ages ago, and have
lain buried i'll moss and decaying vege-
tation for generations. The moss up
on these fallen monarchs has provided
bed for the seeds of other trees, and
they have sprouted, taken root and
grown, and covered the fallen trunk
with their roots. The accompanying
sketch shows tree of this description.
"The tree upon which the dog is
stapdlng and from which this single
was made has $50 rings, and the one
growing over it has $50. If it is TACT
that each ring denotes years growth
you have single in your hand made
from tree that was growing in A. d.
500, 100 years before the discovery of
America, when Charlemagne was
CROW ned Emperor of the West, nearly
three centuries before the battle of.
Hastings and the browning of William
the Conquer,r, and 700 years before
the present church of ST. Peters at
Rome was built. This tree grew, died
and fell and was lying covered with
moss when Richard the First, called
the "Lion Hearted" was knocking at
the gates of Acre, during the third
crusade, nearly, nearly 300 years before
the burning OF Joan Of Are and 200
years before the death of William
