The following resolution is one
of many passed by farmers meet
ing in Ontonagon, Baraga and
Houghton counties, Michigan. This
resolution was passed at a meet
ing of farmers held in Snake Riv-
er Hall, Chassel, Michigan, Nov.
IA. These demands are, as the
comrade who sent in the report
said, PLAIN AND CONCRETE
and THE FARMERS ARE RAIL-
LYING AROUND THEM. They
are not going TO stop at passing
this resolution
This is only the beginning of
the struggle for these poor farm
ers. They are going to put behind
this resolution the weight of
thousands of farmers in the ter
ritory when the resolution is pre-
sented to the Houghton county su-
pervisors at their meeting in the
court house on December 8, at 10
o'clock in the morning. The reso-
luton reads as follows:
RESOLUTION
Taxes
Whereas: The economic crisis
has developed to such a point that
the farmers cannot market a large
portion of their produce at all, and
what little can be sold brings Sc
small returns as to hardly keeI
the farmers families provided
with the common necessities o1
life. At the present moment there
is no lumber industry as in the
past where the farmer could OBJ
tain seasonal work which woulC
enable him to pay taxes and pthel
current expenses. So be 1t
Resolved that: We demand tn,
pOstpOnement of tax payment
and the cancellation of delinquen
taxes until cOnditios improve. w,
demand that the tax burden b
placed upon the Banks. Railroads
Mining Companies and. all. ricl
owners of property. In addition
to this, we most emphatically de
mand that none of the small farm
ers' property be sold for delin
quent taxes.
MORTGAGES and INTEREST
The small farmers are unable t
pay their mortgages or interes
thereof. We demand that tn
county supervisors must see to
that no.. foreclosures. shall. tax
place during this crisis. We ais
demand that no mOrtgagor shal
fOreclOse or evict any one off Q
their farms or home because q
their inability to meet these pay
ments. We further demand ths
all small farmers mortgage pay
ments be postponed and all mpai
mortgages and interest payment
be cancelled until cOnditiOs in
prove.

the farm buildings and were care
lessly watching the dense timber,
from which they little suspected
an attack.
The astute, "Jeb" Stuart (chief
of Confederate cavalry brought
word to General Lee of this sit.
uation, and he-sitting with
"Stonewall" Jackson on two old
cracker boxes, on the evening of
May 1-planned to send the dar-
ing leader, with his entire corps,
by a circuitous route, to strike
that exposed right flank. 1t was
Jackson's idea-and it took a
Jackson to make it successful.
March All Day
All day long marched the long,
lean, gray column-hidden to the
eyes of the blue army by the en-
shrouding WildernesS-but seen
by many a scout. Reports of the
movement we're disregarded by
those who should have been pre-
pared for the blow. At Sis p. m.
the men having been formed
into two long lines-the eager
Confederates swept from the pro-
tecting woodland preceded by
startled deer and rabbitS) with
tumultuous yell. They fell upon
the unSuSpecting men of o. O.
Howard's Eleventh Corps, and
these fled in wild confusion
towards Charlottesville, and up
the road upon which one now
motors so quietly.
It was up another nearby road
that jackson hoped to lead his
entire corps, that night, in order
to reach the rear of Hooker's
army-an impossible feat, for not
only was the path insufficiently
wide for such a naneuver, but
the way was also blocked by in
trenchments and the expectant,
fresh troops of two entire army
corpS-the Fifth and the First.
Hour of Fate
AS the celebrated soldier eager
ly scanned the dark forest in
front of him, from which came
the sound of the axes of the
Union troops and the hum of
their voices, a shot rang out. 1t
was followed by another, and
still another.
The Confederate chieftain real
lied that he had ridden too far,
and wheeled about in order to
re-enter his own lines, for the
shots had come from the pickets
of the First Massachusetts Regi-
ment, lying across the Orange
Plank Road, and between him
and Charlottesville.
Jackson was over a hundred
yards beyond his own men and
in an extremely perilous position,
which he, himself, had brought
about by his own zeal.
Hit Three Times
AS he turned toward his own
line, a volley was poured into
the little party by the kneeling
men of the Eighteenth. North
Carolina, who mistook the group
of horSemen for Union cavalry
men. The hero of Manassas, of
Cross Keys. Port Republic, Har-
pers Ferry, Groveton and of Win
chester, was wounded in three
places. He received ball in his
left arm, two inches below the
shoulder joint, and another in
the same arm, between the elbow
and the wrist. A third ball en-
tered the palm of his right hand,
and. passing through, broke two
of the bones. Nearly all Of his
party were either killed or
wounded.
Maddened by the fire, the great
leaders horse wheeled to gallop
into the Union lines, but he was
seized and turned about by Cap
tain Wilbourn, who lifted the

handicap Fully $4,000 persons
crossed the international line before
post time.
Hundreds stopped to partake of
entertainment in the old town of
Tijuana, three miles from the track,
and others fingered at the casino in
Caliente, not desiring to brave the
weltering sun and the crowds.
1t was estimated that millions of
collars passed over the gaming
tables of Caliente and Tijuana dur

Hotels were sold out an San Diego
