'BAVARDExPECTS
 SETTLEMENT OF CANNERY STRIKE
Juneau Food Retailer Re. ports Brighter Outlook in
 Seattle with New Mayor

Just returned to Juneau from his first trip to the States since Jan uarv 1886, Nick Bavard, operator of the California Grocery today stated that what he had been able to learn of the situation while in Seattle led him to believe that, al- though there is no appearance Of agreement at present, the under current of opinion in the dispute be- tween salmon packers and camery laborers points to an adjustment and settlement soon.
 Although nearly all houses in the Northwest appear to be quite busy, their operators are complaining that business is off in all lines, MT. Bav- ard declared following his return from his months trip. There IS a decided brightening of outlook ln Seattle since the recent city cleo ton. however, he said All classes, businessmen and workers, have great confidence in the integrity and the ability of the newly elected mayor, Arthur B. Langlie They look to him to speedily reach an adjustment of the city's troubled state and to soon nave the situation well in hand.
 Although he and his family ar lived in the Northwest just as that section was running out of streak of good weather and into a spell of rain and cold that lasted all his stay, Mr. Bavard declared that he greatly enjoyed his trip
 On their way south from Juneau, the Edwards stopped at Vancouver, B. C., where they visited friends for a few days, then continued to Seat tie, where Mrs Bavard and children friends in that city, while MT. Bav- ard combined business with his va were entertained by their many cation.
 In Seattle, MT Bavard purchased new fixtures for his store here. He expects that the new fixtures, in- cluding two new cases for his re- gently enlarged meat department, and a large, modern, sprinkler-type vegetable and fruit display rack will arrive here next week; when they will immediately be installed.
 MT. Bavard returned to Juneau chis week alone, his family proceed ing to Portland, Oregon, to continue their stay in the South for few days longer. He expects Mrs. Bavaro and their children to return to Jul neau on the next trip of Canadian Pacific steamer, following their stay with friends in the Rose City.

Man Wants Pension For Alaska Militia
 Service in 1892

MT. William Best of Grand Rapids, Mich, thinks he has military pen sion coming from the Territory and he would like to know how about getting it.
 The information contained in a letter to Alaska Secretary E. w. Griffin from Congressman Carl E. Mapes of Michigan. Representative Mapes writes that MT Best says he was appointed and commissioned a Second Lieutenant in Company A, First Regiment, Alaska militia, on January g, 1892, by then Gov. Lyman E. Knapp and as result of such service is entitled to a pension.
 Alaska did have an authorized militia at the time and it consis- ed of Company A of Juneau, Secre- tary Griffin says, but reports of Gov Knapp fail to show where it was ever an active unit. A certain sum of money was set aside by Con- gress for the purpose and it finally reached total of $8,000, none of which apparently was spent for mil itary purposes. In his report of 1892 Gov. Knapp, the record shows, made request that the $8,000 be expend- ed for making the militia active but nothing ever came of it.
 MT. Best has small chance to get his pension in view of the record the Secretary says.

Unlawful Trespass

w. A. Phillips and Glen Shep-
herd, of near Laurel Springs, were
fined $500 and cost by Magistrate
w. P. Dollar here last Saturday for
unlawful trespass.
This case was the outgrowth of a
rather unusual situation which
took place two or three Sundays
ago when these two men entered
the home of neighbor, Bill Hall,
broke several photograph records,
knocked over and damaged stove.
Hall and his family were away at
the time and found the home in
somewhat Of an upset condition up
on their return. One of the men, it
was stated, left his hat, and when
he went back to get it, peaceful
settlement of the disturbance was
not reached and Hall issued a war
rant for the two men.
It is understood that the defend
ants also paid Hall $50 for damages.

His curiosity got the best of him.
He got his gun, took a crack at the
fowl as it stood in the water and
then brought the bird to town to
show it around and to find out what
kind of thing it really was.
Mrs. J. A. w. Davis and Scotty
Wilson said it was ''blue heron.
It had long, waterfowl legs, still
longer neck and beautiful, long
blue-tinged wings. From wing-tip
to wing-tip it measured 70 inches
and 50 inches from feet to end OF
bill. It's weight, however, was on

Loaf Cheese Now
Being Made Here
Instead Of Bulk
New Machinery Is Installed. Will
Mean More Employment And
Greater Sales.
NEW RECORD IS SET

A significant manufacturing and
merchandising change is now being
made at the Kraft-Phenix Cheese
plant here and will result in in
creased employment of local people
and greater retail sales for the Ashe
county cheese.
Instead of making bulk Ameri-
can cheese, as this plant has done in
the past, the entire output will be
pasteurized process loaf cheese, put
up in two and five-pound ~loafs,
packed and sealed in an attractive
new wrappers in light wooden boxes.
The use of fibre boxes and tinfoil
is being discontinued and the beauti-
full new wrapper is something en-
tirely new. It is called paralofylan
or parakote, the outside Of which
has been specially treated with par
affin to make it waterproof and air
resistant.
This change is entirely new in the
Kraft Phenix organization. It was
introduced in the Atlanta plant on
( ly short time ago and during re-
cent weeks new machinery to make
the wooden boxes and to seal the
new wrappers, over the cheese has
been installed here.
H. A. Howell, of Atlanta, Kraft
Phenix.engineer of the southeast
ern division, has been here assist
ing Levernf Johnson, manager of the
plant, in Installing the machinery
and making the FIRST loafs Of chees0s
He stated this week that the local
plant is having much better success
in perfecting the change than the
plant in Atlanta had.
To make the. processed loaf cheese,
it is necessary to put the cheese up
in the large "chedders", which
weigh around rs pounds, and allow
these to age several week before
putting them in the process machine
The making of the famous daisy
cheese here will be discontinued and
these loafs will be shipped directly
to the wholesale trade, most Of
which is in North Carolina.
Three more people have already
been added, bringing the total num-
Der of employees to IL.
In spite of the fact that the en-
tire force has been busy day and
night making these changes in pro-
duction, the milk sales to the plant
/ reached a new high record this
week. Yesterday the plant bought
%, 400 pounds of milk, the largest
number of pounds ever purchased in
one day since the plant was built
here. Saturday and Monday pur-
chases were nearly $4,000 pounds
daily. Last month the plant paid
out over $15,000.O0 to Ashe county
dairymen and farmers.
