During that same year as when Graham was settled, the Warren Wagon Train Raid occurred about 12 miles north of the city. In 1872 the Graham brothers purchased a local saltworks and established the town of Graham and set up the Graham Land Office; the saltworks was not a profitable venture as the salt was too expensive to ship and was closed in a few years.

Section 30 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a section that, like other provisions within the section 25 to section 31 block, provides a guide as to how Charter rights should be interpreted and applied by Canadian courts. Section 30's particular role is to address. In 1982, when section 30 first became law, these were the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory; the Yukon Territory has since been renamed Yukon, Nunavut was created from the eastern Northwest Territories to become Canada's third territory. Section 30 and by extension, the Charter applies to Nunavut; the section reads, As the government of Canada puts it on one of its websites, this means that "he Charter applies to the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in the same way as it does to the provinces." Hence, section 30 is important in regard to section 3, 4, 5, 6 and 23 rights. Since section 6 refers to rights to "move to and take up residence in any province" and to "pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province," section 30 is applied so that section 6 guarantees rights to move to and pursue work in the territories of Canada.

Section 30 extends section 23's guarantee of minority language educational rights for minority language groups in the provinces to minority language groups in the territories. Section 30 guarantees that territorial governments are bound by sections 3 to 5, which themselves only explicitly refer to provincial governments. Hence, those in the territories will have the right to vote or run in territorial elections, territorial governments cannot operate for longer than 5 years without an election, territorial governments must sit at least once a year; the other rights in the other sections of the Charter are valid and enforceable in the territories. The authority of the territorial governments is derived from the Parliament of Canada. Paragraph 32 provides that the Charter applies "to the Parliament and government of Canada in respect of all matters within the authority of Parliament including all matters relating to the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories". Read together, section 30 and paragraph 32 provide that the Charter applies "to the legislature and government of each province in respect of all matters within the authority of the legislature of each province ".

The content of section 30 dates back to the original draft of the Charter, published in October 1980. In the case Fédération Franco-ténoise v. Canada, the Federal Court of Appeal discussed section 30 when it rejected the government of the Northwest Territories' claim that the territory now had legal power and independence similar to those of the provinces.. The territorial government based its theory in Parliament's treatment of the territories, becoming more like how it treated the provinces; some of Parliament's laws had been designed. Moreover, section 30 created another similarity between the territories. However, the Court replied that section 30 of the Charter creates similarities between provinces and territories only in regard to the reading of the Charter. Moreover, section 31, which stipulates that the Charter does not increase powers of legislative bodies, indicates section 30 cannot increase the powers of the territorial legislature to the extent that a territory can achieve equality with the provinces.

However, the Court rejected the claim by those who had brought legal action against the territorial government that section 30 is limited by section 32. Earlier, in 1983, similar arguments were made to achieve section 20 rights in the Yukon, so that traffic tickets could be available in the French language, it was argued sections 32 should together indicate such rights exist in the territories. The courts dismissed the argument since a literal reading of section 20 shows it bounds only the federal government, not the territorial governments

Carruthers told the Associated Press that All My Children was in search of something new, that the production team was aware that their audience was drawn to plot elements dealing with sex and sexuality; the show had lost more than 60% of its audience since 1992. Although Zoe is not the first transgender character to appear in a US daytime drama, she may be the first transfeminine character on US television to come out as transgender, to begin transitioning.

Harold Patrick Reiser, nicknamed "Pistol Pete", was an American professional baseball outfielder and coach, who played in Major League Baseball, during the 1940s and early 1950s. While known for his time with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Reiser played for the Boston Braves, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cleveland Indians. A native of St. Louis, Reiser signed with his hometown Cardinals, but at age 19 he was among a group of minor league players declared free agents by Commissioner of Baseball Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Cardinal general manager Branch Rickey—mortified at losing a player of Reiser's caliber—arranged for the Dodgers to sign Reiser, hide him in the minors trade him back to St. Louis at a date, but Reiser's stellar performances in spring training in both 1939 and 1940 forced the Dodgers to keep him. In 1941, his first season as a regular starter, Reiser helped the Dodgers win the pennant for the first time since 1920, he was a sensation that year, winning the National League batting title while leading the league in doubles, runs scored and slugging percentage.

He was named a starter to the All-Star team and placed second in MVP balloting. On July 19 of the following year, Reiser crashed face-first into the outfield wall in St. Louis, trying to catch what turned out to be a game-winning inside-the-park home run by Enos Slaughter of the rival Cardinals in the bottom of the 11th inning; the loss cut the Dodgers' lead over the Cardinals to six games. Despite missing just four games with the resulting concussion, he batted only.244 over his final 48 games that season, dropping his batting average from.350 to.310 for the year. The Dodgers ended up losing the pennant by two games to the Cardinals, who won 20 of their last 23 games and the World Series. Reiser gave great effort on every play in the field, was therefore injury-prone, he fractured his skull running into an outfield wall on one occasion, was temporarily paralyzed on another, was taken off the field on a stretcher a record 11 times. Leo Durocher, Reiser's first major league manager, reflected many years that in terms of talent and potential, there was only one other player comparable to Reiser: Willie Mays.

He said, "Pete had more power than Willie—left-handed and right-handed both. He had everything but luck."Reiser, a switch hitter who sometimes restricted himself to batting left-handed because of injury, served in the United States Army during World War II, playing baseball for Army teams. While serving, he had to learn to throw with both arms. Durocher said, "And he could throw at least as good as Willie right-handed and left-handed." When Reiser returned to the majors in 1946, he was still suffering from a shoulder injury from playing Army baseball. He said: "It wasn't as serious as the head injuries, but it did more to end my career; the shoulder kept popping out of place, more bone chips developed, there was constant pain in the arm and shoulder." He was never the same hitter he was early in his career, but was still as fast as stealing home a record seven times in 1946. In 1948, Ebbets Field became the first ballpark with padded outfield walls due to Reiser's penchant for running into them.

Reiser managed in the minors for several years, winning the 1959 Minor League Manager of the Year Award from The Sporting News. He served as a coach on Walter Alston's Los Angeles Dodger staff from 1960 to 1964. However, he was forced out in 1965 as manager of the AAA Spokane Indians as the result of a heart attack, his replacement was Duke Snider -- the man. When Leo Durocher became manager of the Chicago Cubs in 1966, he brought many of his former players to coach on his staff. Reiser was one of them, he coached for the California Angels in 1970–71. In 1981, Lawrence Ritter and Donald Honig included him in their book "The 100 Greatest Baseball Players of All Time." They used what they called "Smoky Joe Wood Syndrome" to explain why a exceptional player whose career was curtailed by injury—despite not having had career statistics that would quantitatively rank him with the all-time greats—should nonetheless be included on their list. Reiser died in Palm Springs, California, of respiratory disease at 62, was buried at Desert Memorial Park in Cathedral City, California.
