Windham County reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1901-1906, 1902-06-13

The general opinion of the state
press seems to be that the state con
yention will make no mistake if it
dominates the Hon. Zed S. Stanton
for lieutenant governor The only
reason why Zed should not have it is
that some one else wants it. Zed is
particularly well qualified and should
be very strong in the convention.

Take Notice.

Union men and people OF Grand juno
ton take notice that we, the Retail
Clerks Union No. tOS OF the Interna-
tionai Protective Association, at our last
meeting decided that the o'clock clos.
ing movement has not met with the sue
cess we anticipated. owing to arbitrary
disposition of a few hot headed mer-
chants, whose sole object is to domineer
over their weaker brothers by opposing
the very thing they had advocated them
selves.
We also find the people are not sup.
porting US as we were led to believe they
would. Summing up the whole situa-
tion we have concluded that a mistake
was made in standing for 6 o'clock
closing at the time we did and o'clock
movement would have been better at
that special time OF year, until the peo-
pile had become educated up to earlier
closing.
Therefore. we feel it our duty for the
present to release those fair merchants
who have been fair and honorable to US
in their agreement. We herewith ex-
tond our sincere thanks and will pledge
ourselves to continue to support those
same merchants aud promise them that
We will leave no stone unturned to use
our influence for them and against those
who have been unfair to US.
We also desire to thank all unions and
all people who did assist Us in our fight
for shorter hours and . chance to enjoy
home relations.

Unfortunate Boundary Compromise

lT is to be hoped that the present boundary dispute between United States and England in regard to the Alaska line will not terminate as the dispute did in the early forties.
 During the rivalry for the pos session of Oregon, our government asserted its ri ght to all the far Northwestern territory up to the latitude of 54 degrees forty minutes. This would have given the United States what are now British Colum- bia and Manitoba. and would have brought our coast line on the Pa citic up to the Russian territory. which subsequently became ours. The American cry at that time was "Fifty-four forty. or fghtw and responsible men talked openly of war with England. But the mat CT was unfortunately, as is now realized, compromised. and the present line of 49 degrees was fixed as the international boundarv.- with Vancouver island. however. conceded to the English, though extending nearly degree further south and commanding the entrance to Puget sound.

Agriculture in Finland.

Finland furnishes the best basis of comparison with Alaska. as re- gards natural condition for agri- culture and stockraising. Finland supports population of two and half million, and its agriculture has reached high state of devel- opment. In 1895 there were pro- duccd in Finland 3S.114.OS3 bushels of barley. oats and rye. of which l,396.200 bushels of oats were exported. At the same time the country produced 300.65O horses, 2.39S,lS3 cattle. 1,O67 .3S4 eheep and 191 .356 hogs. Between 1891 and 1895 an annual export of 22, 2,'5O,OOO pounds of butter, 400, ,OO0 pounds cheese and IOO. O.OOO gallons of milk, a total of $6, 115O,O from dairy products alone.
 Conservative estimates of Alaskas agricultural possibilities indicate that agriculture can be successfully carried on over an area much lar ger than Finland. Alaska and Finland are in the same latitude and this country has the advan- tage of the warm Japan stream to moderate the temperature of it's western and southern coast. There Is no reason why Alaska, in the course of time, should not make even better showing than Finland, in agriculture and stockraising.

Commercial and marine develop ments are forcing Us to realize our nearness to Asia. We commonly think of that continent as separ- ated from us by the broad Pacific.

'pout atit tiitN VlV uot. NoW tIc press throughout the entire dis trict including the Juneau Dispatch and the Skagway Alaskan are writing about the wonderful agri- cultural possibilities of Alaska. even giving the number of square miles where farming can be carried on successfully.
 The same conditions existed in regard to the reindeer. The au- thorities were roundlv abused for spending so much money for the introduction of the reindeer into the country, but on the advice of Governor Brady, Dr. Jackson and Lieut.. Jarvis, the government con tinued to import these animals and they have proven to be of the greatest benefit to the people of the North. as food supply, as pack animals and in many other ways.
 THERE is about as much affinity between Nome and Southeastern Alaska, as there is between this country and South Africa. Regard less that these two districts are at the antipodes of d vast portion of d mighty continent and separated by impossible mountain barriers and seas of ice, they are neverthe- less administratively chained to- gethcr like Siamese twins. Though not adverse. these countries are as foreign to each other in utilization and traffic as they are in interest and conditions. If the Cushman delegate bill passes, the represent ative elected will have job upon his hands to reflect an understand ing of these varied interests at Washington. that will go far to- wards obtaining the division of the country at the carving out of an area upon which to confer territor- ial government. A territory in- cluding all Alaska, would be un- wicldy.
 What the people of Nome are now endeavoring to do for them selves in the way of obtaining leg islation, is as unknown to the peo- pie of Southea stern Alaska as the latter's communal actions are be- yond the knowledge of the denize ns of Nome. The necessity of creat- ing territory out of all Alaska does not exist and would be foreign to all American precedent. The thought of making a territory out of the whole district of Louisiana never entered human mind. though such a proposition would not have been more incongruous than is the idea which seems more or less prev alent that it is akin to necessary that the first territory of the Arctic North must include all Alaska Skagway Alaskan.

FOR THE Beers
LOUISIANA
CONTENDS
GOVERNOR HEARD NOTIFIES
ADMINISTRATION THAT ENG
LAND is VIOLATING THE NEU-
TRALITY LAWS.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-President
Roosevelt and the state department, 1t is
reported have been notified by Governor
Heard, Of Louisiana, that Great Britain
is violating the neutrality laws by carry
ing on warlike activities at Chalmette
near New Orleans, and it is understood
the administration will pay no more heed
to the governor than was given to the
Boer agent, Pierson, when he wrote Roose-
Welt to the same effect last month.
The governors communication Is said TO
be in the nature of a protest against
England using our ports to wage her war
against the Beers. 1t has been known
for months that mules and other NUM-
lions OF war were being shipped to South
Africa by the English. 1t is believed the
governors aeon was inspired by the re-
cent appearance at Chalmette Of Brit
ish officer to take charge of the station
there and TO direct the warllke proceed
ings.
The inactivity of the administration in
the AFFAIR has already drawn fierce criti-
cism from the pFo-Boer advocates in the
house Of representatives, and 1t Is be-
lieved the action of Louisiana's governor
will cause renewed attacks from them.
The administration may be forced to
take cognizance of the British violation
OF neutrality laws and In tbs case COM
plications with England may arise. The
presidents reply to the governor is eager
" awaited. None of the officials will dis
cuss the matter today.
