100 VARIETIES OF
 ALASKA STRAWBERRIES

More than 100 varieties of straw berries now grow in Alaska, accord ing to the annual report of Alaska ag- ricultural experimental stations of the department of agriculture. made pub lie recently.
 Because of the climatical conditions in Alaska it was a hard problem at first to get strawberries to thrive, but by hybridizing cultivated varieties with pollen from the wild native Alas ka strawberry of the coast region splendid results were obtained. The most remarkable feature about these hybrid plants Is that they were de- cidedly more vigorous than either par ent. yielding more. growing larger, and seeming suited to almost any climate in the Territory.
 In connection with the growing of apples the experts in Alaska wrote that only trees with crab apple blood produced fruit. An apple is being made to hybridize the crab apple in hopes of getting a fruit that will stand the climate and be acceptable to good table use.

IRONS HAS SOME MONEY

Game Warden Irons is the proud possessor of some Alaska coin Of the realm; it is neither gold, silver or copper, but it stands for tender in the district from which it comes and thereby hangs a tale. The money is of three denominations, dollar half dollar, and a quarter-dollar; the first bears the profile of bear, and the last that of a beaver. The money comes from Munson's post, on the Salcha, says the Fairbanks Citi- zen.
 In dealing with the natives Nun son has occasion to use considerable change, which can only be secured by making trips to Fairbanks, putting him to a great loss of time. What change he brought to the post had the habit of disappearing, which only en- tailed another trip to the city, He re- solved to change matters so that it would not put him out so much or cause the natives to be deprived of their means of barter. Accordingly he had struck off from aluminium met, al the denominations of the different coins used in this section of Alaska, and as result everyone is satisfied with the arrangement and he now has no difficulty in making change.

Rome Real Estate Man Secures
Warrant for Policeman Who
Clubbed Prisoner.

ROME, July 5.-As result Of the
arrest of Jake Collins for alleged
drunkenness and disorderly conduct,
VIII Collins, his brother and we'll
known East Side real estate man, to-
day had a warrant sworn out for
Policeman Henry Selman, charging
him with assault with attempt to
murder. Considerable feeling exists
over the affair.
Collins was in an automobile with
a companion when Selman and anoth-
er officer attempted to arrest him.
Collins, they say, was drunk and had
Collins resisted and struck at Selman.
In the scuffle Selman, it is alleged,
dubbed Collins over the head several
times. Blood flowed from his wounds.
Collins claims he offered to ride in
auto with officers to station, and that
instead the police patrol was called
and hauled him to the lookup. Large
crowd, a majority Of whom appeared
in sympathy with Collins, gathered
round the City Hall, and for a while
trouble was feared. Officers were
prepared for any attack, but none
came.
Charges Of conduct unbecoming Of
ficers have also been preferred with
the police committee against two 9TH
er officers, and an effort will be made
by Collins to have them discharged
from the force.

HUSBAND CONE,
WIFE BELIEVES
HIM LYNCHED
Fortune TeIler's Story So I'm
presses Woman That She Asks
Warrants for SawmiIl Men.

DALTON, July Judge S. B. Fell
ker and others present in his office
were decidedly startled when a wom-
an entered and calmly announced that
her husband had been hanged and
his body disposed Of by three men,
adding that she wanted warrants for
the arrests of several men employed
at the Nations sawmill. On being
questioned she stated that a fortune
teller had given her the information
and his evidence was all she had ex-
cept the fact that her husband had
disappeared.
The woman gave her name as Mrs.
VIII Grady.
When Judge Felker refused to is
sue the warrants the woman turned
to Constable Gilbert and told him
her husbands life was insured for
$500, and if he would find the body
she would give him half of the life
insurance.
Mrs. Grady's earnestness was ap-
parent. She told of the vivid impress
sion left by the fortune teller's words.
She had gone to the soothsayer fol-
lowing her husbands disappearance
after three months of welded life,
and he, after going into a trance,
wildly described to her the scene of
three men "stringing up" her hus-
band.
She then visited the sawmill at
which her husband had been en-
ployed, and was told by some of the
employees that he had gone to Ala
bama, while others said he was in
North Carolina These conflicting
statements aroused her suspicion.

Forecast Fulfilled
Griffin Observer Predicts Storm
Which Comes on Fourth-PopuIace
Now Does Him Reverence.

GRIFFIN, July 5.-Griffin's weather
forecaster is much more respected to-
day than ever before.
A month ago Albert L. Snyder, the
local prognosticator, predicted that July
would be a hot and dry month. He
declared that on the Fourth transforms
would be general, and that winds would
rise to a dangerous strength.
Exactly as predicted, the month up to
date has been warm and dry, and, ac-
cording to schedule, the Fourth was
ushered in with a good prospect, but
was a stormy day before It was over.
Several thousand persons were assem-
bled at the Spalding County Fair
Grounds to celebrate. In midafternoon a
terrific wind arose, accompanied by bad
looking clouds. The celebration was
broken up and people driven to shelter.
Before nightfaH heavy dOwnpour of
rain came.
Professor Snyder predicts hail storms
for the 9th. with cold spells on the 10th
and 18th, and another cold season on the
18th.
