 Maps furnished the appli- cants by Weller show that the tracts are in the Island Lake, Mission Road and Mill Bay area.
 Weller has been here for three days. He left today for Anchorage. Additional appli~ cation blanks, maps and in- formation bulletins are avail able'at the city hall for those who failed to contact Weller while he was here.
 ''The disposition of the 12S' small tracts was made under the Small Tract Act of June l, 1888 in response to a high demand for residential land," Weller said.
 Thirty-two of the tracts are located on the shores of Island Lake and can at present be- reached only by boat. SIX tracts of U. S. Survey 3098 on Mill Bay road will be leased and sold as business sites. The remaining sites are classified as home sites.
 An application for one of the home sites require a $lO' filing fee. The rental fee for a lease is $5 per year. Leases will be for a period of two years and applicants must make improvements on the land. Upon completion of the lease period the applicant may then submit an Application to Purchase.
 The purchase price on the sites runs from $50 to $25O. Anyone presently holding a lease under the Small Tract Act is not eligible to file for any of the 129 tracts.
 Those persons receiving a lease for any of the tracts will be notified by the ELM. We'll CT said he would furnish the MIRROR with a complete list of the fortunate applicants as soon as the December lO drawing was complete.

Labor Violence Flares Nm San Francisco

San Francisco (P)-Riotlng erupted on the San Fran cisco waterfront Thursday after noon but prompt police ac ctlon prevented a major riot be- tween 1,400 packers of bitter labor rivals Harry Lundeberg and Harry Bridges.
 Riot clubs and improvlsed weapons were swung when hastily gathered policemen headed off a mass march of some 1, 100 Lundeberg's AFL sailor against the Bridges backed independent stewards picketing the passenger ship Aleutian.
 The Aleutian was formerly on the Alaska run for the A. laska Steamship Company.
 Six men were hurt in the clash fought in a drizzling rain but continuing arrival of police endorsements armed with tear gas and riot guns gave weight to arguments of cooler heads.
 The riot was the second flare-up of the day on the wa terfront near the Aleutian's berth over jurisdiction battle between Independent Ma tional Union Marine Cooks and Stewards, which is being incorporated into Bridges IL WU, and Lundeberg's AFL Marine Cooks and Stewards.
 Earlier in the day an AFL attempt to break through the picket line was disrupted by police after a brief slugging scuffle in which three men, one an AFL attorney, were hurt.
 The second scuff1e started when AFL members massed at the union hall near Bay Bridge and began marching the two and one half miles to the Aleutian. The marchers carried baseball bats wrapped in newspapers, timbers and lenghts of chain.
 The police rushed into the breach and formed a line at pier end, held tight against surging AFL marchers who shouted "we'll get those con- mies." The cops singled out most of the active and "sub- dued" them and rushed them to paddy wagons.
 The riot broke up when Police Chief Michael Gaffey said over a sound truck that he firmly intended to prevent further rioting.

The two means are roots of sod
crops and correct tillage. Slipher
says, mo less than half the years
of the cropping cycle in sod will
suffice to create enough crumb

Alfalfa and sweet clover are the
best soil structure builders. True
clovers, such as red clover, rank
next among legumes.
Among grasses, tall feScue and
bronze grass are best to create
good tilth. Timothy and orchard
grass are second.
Combining a grass with le-
gume effects most change in soil
structure" Sipher says. He points
out that grass forms soil structure
that is harder to break down-will
take more punishment. Legumes,
however, will affect structure
deeper in soil than grasses will.
Of tillage, the second means, the
agronomist says, 1T applies an ex-
ternal force that trips the mechan-
ism of tilth." 1t causes natural
crumbs, formed by sod crops, to
break apart.
Good tilth helps protect invest

First Thanksgiving
Was On Christmas

The First Thanksgiving Day in
Ohio was on Christmas.
Ohio was still a part of the
Northwest Territory at that time,
and the official who proclaimed
the first day of thanksgiving
wasn't Santa Claus. The man who
started the great festive day in the
wilderness that is now Ohio was
Governor Arthur st. Clair. The
Territorial Governor set aside
Thursday, December 25, 1888, as
"a day of solemn thanksgiving and
praise" when the inhabitants
would unite in humble Supplica-
tions to Almighty God, that he
would be graciously pleased to
prosper this infant settlement, and
the whole territory, in their hus-
bandry, trade and manufactures,
by His own nurturing hands, ma
ture and bring to perfection all
seminaries of learning, the pro-
motion and enlargement of piety,
and true religion amongst all ma
tions of the earth" st. Clair clos
ed his proclamation of the first
Thanksgiving Day in Ohio with a
typical Puritan admonition, "and
do prohibit servile labour on that
day."
Thanksgiving Day has been
changed several times by succeed
ing Governors and Presidents. Re-
gardless of the date, the day is
alawys observed with the greatest
enthusiasm in Ohio. No other
place on earth has more to be
thankful for than Ohio, and the
citizens of this great state are in
telligent enough to realize that
God has been especially kind to
them.
Ohio has come a long way since
the first day of solemn thanksgiv-
ing in Marietta at which time the
population could be counted by
hundreds instead of millions, and
the horizon seemed to be as near
as the walls of the stockade.
The same faith that prompted
the proclamation of Ohio's First
thanksgiving Day helped to carry
the pioneers through terrible trib-
ulations and establish the way of
life that Ohioans have cherished
Tor century and a half.
In this Sesquicentennial Year
the day of Thursday, November
70, will be. observed in more than
5000 churches of all denomina-
tions, and in the homes of eight
million Ohioans.
