nery Workers Union have the bar gaining rights for all s. E. Alaska.
 Extracts from the Alaska Fishing News, from E. c. Sukow, agent at Headquarters May 6, 1888.
 Brother Jurich has stated that the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union is not the recognized bargaining agent for Purse seine fishermen and Cannery workers in S. E. Alaska, but we would like to ask Brother Jurich who is doing the bargaining in Seattle at the present time The packers have recognized the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union as the sole bargaining agent for purse seine fishermen and Cannery work CTS in s. D. Alaska, this being in black and white. In a series of coun- ter-proposals from the packers, the last one received yesterday, the only name appearing on said proposals is the Alaska Salmon Purse Seiners Union.
 A. s. P. S. U. jurisdiction pertains only to residents of Alaska. All the arguments over jurisdiction we read about being between outside unions over the imported labor.
 l hope this will elarify the matter some. All residents tthat wish to work in or around eanneries must belong to the union The Industry will soon be asking for our list of members to determine how much ad- ditional help they will need.
 Anyone not belonging to the Union now should make an effort to join as soon as possible.

to the several states more liberal
grants of money and supplies for
the army not yet diSbanded. Much
of what is called the Northwest
Territory was claimed by the
several states by virtue of their
own charters.
June Is, 1888, the army was yet
in camp at Newburgh waiting to
be discharged, when news was
received from Paris that the
Treaty of Paris had been accept
ed. A petition signed by 288 Of
ficers was presented to congress
praying that, in fulfillment of the
pledge of the government made in
1776 to the army, certain tracts of
land, lying between the Ohio
river and Lake Erie and to the
west, of Pennsylvania should be
assigned to them. * ....4, l.
One Of the. main forces behind
this position was General Rufus
Putnam, who was born at Sutton,
Massachusetts,, in 1898. AS a
young man he was very ambitious
and without receiving much en-
enlargement from home he &C
quired an education after over
coming many difficulties. Rufus
Putnam achieved national dis
tinction in the Revolution by his
ingenuity and expertness as a
military engineer. During the Re-
evolutionary war he attracted the
attention and won the confidence
of George Washington, becoming
not only his trusted assistant but
his beloved friends as well. He
retired from the Revolutionary
service with rank of Brigadier-
General and died at Marietta,
Ohio, May "a, 1924, at the age of
sc and was buried there in what
is known as Mound cemetery
which is said to be the resting
place of more Revolutionary of
ficerS than any other in the coun-
try.
George Washington was deeply
interested in this land project and
giving to it from the beginning
the benefit of his influence, pre-
sented it to congress. July 4, 1888,
Congress directed the paymaster-
general to adjust accounts be-
tween the United States and the
officers and soldiers in the army
and to give certificates of the
sums which might appear on such
settlements as the superintendent
of finance of the United States
might direct. These certificates
were known as Final settle
ments". A few months later,
September 3, 1888, the treaty of
peace and independence was
signed in Paris.

The one hundred fiftieth ami
ersary of the Ordinance of 1887
which created civil law in the
Northwest Territory that includ-
ed that part of Minnesota lying
east of the Mississippi river, will
be observed throughout the state
from July 80 to August 18 by the
visit of the Northwest Territory
Celebration Pioneer Caravan. The
company will parade in Redwood
Falls at noon August 10.
This history-depicting caravan
set out December 3, 1887, from
Ipswich, Massachusetts,, and ira
yelled on foot, accompanied by a
Conestoga wagon drawn by OK
en-, to West Newton, Pennsylvan-
4ia,gwhere barges and boats were
bsgilt by the men to transport the
caravan to Marietta, Ohio. 1t fol-
lowed the same historic route as
did the first party of pioneers
ever to settle in the Northwest
Territory $50 years ago.

travelling in Wisconsin where
! each night they present a pageant
open to the public without charge
in which is portrayed the histor-
ical highlights of the post-Revo-
lutionary war period. The pag-
cant, Freedom On The March
depicts the plight of the soldiers
Of the Revolutionary Army and
their struggle to secure aid from
the Continental Congress in MAX
ing new homes in the western
wilderness.
Their efforts resulted in the
passage of the Northwest Ordin-
ance, sometimes known as the
Ordinance of 1887, which is re-
garded as one of the greatest
governmental documents in the
history of mankind.
History of the Ordinance
The year 1888, at the close of
the Revolutionary war, is a very
memorable one in the history of
our country. The large body of
soldiers who were still in camp at
NeWburgh, New York, and who
were unpaid for their services to
their country, about to return
penniless to their desolate homes
and to their former pursuits, were
a menace to public welfare.
In 1776 Congress had pledged
a grant of lands to the army in
payment of their services. The
United States government did not
own an acre of land; the treasury
was empty. Congress had no
authority to raise money by tax
alton and could only recommend

Urge Great Care In
Handling OF Barley

Proper care in the threShing of
barley so that kernels will not be
skinned, broken or frayed was
stressed this week in bulletin
received by the Farmers Elevator
company here.
To be of choice grade, barley
must ripen fully before cutting
and it is suggested because of the
wet year that shocks be made
withends open and running north
and south for maximum drying.
Damage in threshing is usually
caused by one or more of the fol-
lowing OverSightS: Too high speed
of cylinder; Excess end play in
cylinder; Loose or crooked teeth;
Too many concaveS; Improper
wind adjustment; Improper sieve
arrangement; Separator not pro-
perly leveled; Faulty conVeyor
adjustment; Uneven rate of bun
die feeding.
Spectacles were invented dur
ing the 18th century.
