Historic Old Howell Claims
 Finally Cleared
Novel; Gets Title to F69 Acres on Doug
 las Island at Trail

Clearly up title to property on
 Douglas Island, originally staked as
 mining claims back in 1886, Attor-
 ney Frank H. Foster recorded final
 deeds with the United States Com
 missioner today giving full title to
 Everett Novel; of Juneau to 169 acres on the Douglas Island shore south of the bridge
 The property runs 5000 feet from Cowee Creek toward Douglas along the road and back on the island one-half mile and includes part of the Ski Trail and several places which have been homesteaded.
 An interesting history is revealed in the action. Back in 1886 Thomas F. Novel;, grandfather of Everett and father of Willis Novel;, long time Juneau resident now living in Edmonds, Wash. formed the AL aska Consolidated Company It was this company which staked the claims on Douglas Island and in 1894 they were patented. Thomas Nowell died but the Alaska Con- solidate c 0 m pa ", incorporated under Maine law, which does not provide for disincorporation, con- tinued in existence, in the mean time interests in the claims falling to the heirs of the founder. When Attorney Foster started work of getting title, he found heirs scat tered to the four corners of the globe. About year ago by going into a Maine court he was able to finally dissolve the old original company and by getting deeds from the many heirs establish clear title for the grandson of the original founder.
 In the intervening years, several homeSteads have been filed on the land involved, any number of squat ters have been on and off of it. Aside from a few officials no one knew or cared who owned it. The attorney said today there would be no drastic action on the part of the true owner now that title was and, through agree ments, it was expected those who now are located on the property would remain there. He said it was planned to give a deed to the Ski Club for the portion of the ski trail on the property.

SITTING DOWN TOGETHER

What distinguishes the Tabor Green peace plan from others Is that it is strictly informal and like ly to be quite personal. The idea seems to be to get the jump on labor trouble by coming to terms before hand. Before the berry harvest be- gins in given section, Grange and AFL representatives may discuss prices of berries, and costs that go into the farmers load-so that labor can hike up or tone down its terms in proportion.
 To laissez-faire farmer or a get-it-or-die labor leader the plan might sound just too idealistic for words. Much has to depend upon the good faith of both sides ana more than a little of that has been disputed in the past.
 Sitting down together, Green and Tabor might easily come to terms, each trusting implicitly the others. statements. But when a rep resentative of a representative of a representative of Tabor meets dlt- to of a ditto of ditto of Green, the situation could be wholly oli- ferent.

AFL Head, Chief Of Grunge
 Make Peace PIans --- m Case
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 21.-In the very hour that President Roosevelt launched the study" of the British labor system, an important labor organization and an important farm organization began to look into prospects for peaceful settlement Of future farm labor difficulties.
 Louis J. Tabor, long time president of the National Grange, presumably initiated the proposal that in event of future farm labor trouble, he and William Green, president of the AFL, should work out the peaceful way before the strike stage arrived.
 They are fellow Ohioans. When they meet it is Lou" and "Bill' and they see eye to eye on many angles of the employer-labor prob lem. Neither is on the radical side. Labor and farm radicals would call them conservative.
 Both were in town on a recent weekend-they are often here and both were asked to speak at a casual little farm meeting. Neither said much as the meeting but some of the delegates got good picture of what probably would come out of their informal peace plan.
