WASHINGTON PREPARES FOR
 10000 VETERANS
(By Lynn NJ Lamml

WASHINGTON D. C., July 15. - Elaborate preparations are being worked out for the accommodation of 10000 G. A. R. veterans and their friends who will attend the 49th an. nual encampment of the organization to be held in this city from Septem- Der 27 to October ?,
 A special citizens subcommittee has been appointed to look out for this one feature, and as a result of the good work that has already been done and is now under way there will be no exorbitant rates charged in either hotels or boarding houses. As a part of their work this committee ad- vertsed in all of the daily newspapers of this city asking boarding house proprietors and those who wish to rent to list with them at their head quarters at the Chamber of Commerce all of the data concerning their rooms. This information consists of addresses and telephone numbers. prices for rooms with and without meals. with and without baths, and in fact every detail which might be ask ed by any one intending to rent rooms. This information is tabulated and put into card index system. Sey- eral persons are at work on this con- tinually and it is said that hundreds are bringing in this information.
 1t is said at the headquarters that good comfortable rooms will be avail able for the veterans at anywhere from soc per day up. without meals, SO that no one need stay away from the encampment because of high room rent Hundreds of letters are being received daily by the chairman of this committee asking about the rooms and all that is necessary to do is to look at the card index system and one is able to tell just what will suit the iuquiring person, Reservations have been made for scores of delega- tions. mnay of whom whish to be to- gether. as well as for many individ- uals. It has been a part of the duty of the committee to interview the ho- tel managers and restaurant propri- etors and call their especial atten- ton to the fact that both room and food prices shall be normal. This has been promised and it is thought by the committee that no trouble will be experienced along these lines.

AMERICAN COAL
 PRODUCTION
 SATISFACTORY

According to the estimate of c. D.. Lesher, of the United States Geologi- cal Survey the bitumipous coal out put of the United States for the first six months of the year 1915 was from 1SO 100000 to 19O,OOO,OOO short tons, the rate of production having been from S5 to 90 per cent. of the average for the previous year, with con stantly increasing comparative pro- duction.
 The rate of production this year increased after January, reached the low ebb in March and April and is now on the increase. says the report. The states west of the Mississippi river. which in 1914 produced less than 1S per cent of the total. do not appear to have suffered as much as the eastern states, reports from cer- tain districts in the west showing an increase over 1914. This is at- trlbuted to the increase in metal min ing and smelting and to greater rail- road activity.
 In the east the loss of bunker trade on the Atlantic seaboard and the slowness of the lake season have been only partly offset by the in- creasing coal exports. The recent ac- tivity in the iron business has been slow to affect the coal trade, although coke has gained considerably during the last two months, and for the rest of 1915 the increased output should continue.
 The anthracite producers have far ed better than the soft coal operators since it is estimated that the output of anthracite has fallen only from 8 to per cent. below the average for 1914.
 The increase now would be faster if 1t were not for the difficulty Of getting ships to carry the traffic

JosLIN ON WAY
TO FAIRBANKS

Falcon Joslin, president and prin- cipal owner of the Panama Valley railroad, was in Juneau Saturday night on his way to Fairbanks. Mir Joslin is very greatly encouraged ov- CT the outlook for the Fairbanks district, and says the completion of the government railroad to that place will mark the beginning of a great era Of development for the Panama valley
 Mir. Joslin denied the statement published in the Seattle papers to the effect that he is contemplating quitting railroading and becoming a mine operator
 Mr. Joslin was greatly astonished at the development that has taken place in Juneau since he saw the city last. "The Goldstein building, the Behrends bank, postoffice. New Cain Hotel and other buildings that have been erected since last seen Ju. neau." said Mr. Joslin. "are buildings that would do credit to any city anywhere"
 Mrs. Joslin is> accompanying Mir. Joslin as far as Skagway She will return to Seattle from that place.

COPPER RIVER
 FISHERMEN STRIKE

CORDOVA, July l. Arrivals on She ,train yesterday brought down the news that the fishermen of the Copper River Packing Co.,. at Aber- crimbie had gone on a strike. The diff ulty Is over the amount paid by the company for the fish. There are three classes of fishermen employ ed. The contract men. who were brought from Seattle got Sls cents per fish, but they were guaranteed gross earnings of S4oO. Other fish ermen. whose gear is furnished by the company receive cents per fish, while the third class, who furnish the gear bet 2i1 cents @ fish.
 There has been abcut 36 men em- ployed in the cannery. and they con- ferred and agreed to ask Mr. Hanley the superintendent for a wage of 1 cents per fish, and an allowance of $500 per month on their board. Then men have been having their board deducted from their earnings. When the demands of the men were presented to Mir Hanley, he said he considered them excessive. but that if they would make a reasonable de- mand he would meet According to the story told by one of the fisher men, Mir. Hanley would not state what he considered reasonable. so the men decided to stick to their req sonable demands
 The last fishing done in the riy- CT was at the close of Thursdays work At that time all the nets were taken from the river, and no fish have been caught since. The men claim that the fish have been run ming so poorly that they have been unable to make wages for the last three weeks. 10 is said that the sue perintendent has telegraphed to Se- attle for more men, - (Cordova Times.)
