ITALIAN MONEY FOREIGN MARKETS
 IS DEPRECATED

ROME, June 22-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Pressl .- The continued depreciation of Ital- ian money in foreign markets, de- spite the establishment by the Gov nrnment of the National Institute of Exchange early this year for the purpose of reducing speculation in lire. has led to the proposal that Italy's allies help her by arbitrarily fixing the rate of exchange, as 1t lis claimed was done with France.
 As Italy must import large quan- titles of war materials in order to keep in the fight and as she must pay not only high current prices but $1S0 of her money for every dollar of material she buys, it Is pointed out that she is carrying more than her share of the war bur den.

In these days of perfect scores and other exceptional performances at the traps, one is apt to forget some of the meritorious shooting of by gone days until prodded by one of the "old-timers."
 And just such prod recalled to memory the remarkable record of the Winchester trapshooting squad that toured the Southern part of the States and shot in 43 cities in the same number of shooting days in November and December 1906. It isn't many years back, at that, but how many remember the cred itabie averages compiled by the squad?
 Don't put yourself out; we'll give you the dope" on this trip, which was begun in Baltimore, Md, and concluded seven weeks later in Bris tol, Ky. The team, on the whole shot at 1,4O0 targets and broke 20,294 for an average of .9fS3. The work of this team isn't chronir.et among trapshooting records, but il should be. for the tour was a rec orn breaker in every way.

CAST:

This picture is a splendid pho to visualiZation of Victor Hugo's most famous work known every where as one of the greatest stories ever written in any language.
 Les Miserables" was published in book form in sixteen different lang uages simultaneously. Therefore
 he film story appeals to every na- tionality represent in this country.
 It is a wonderful human interest story of the life of Jean Naliean, a huge, powerful and uncouth man who is driven to the theft of loaf of bread for his sick mother, who is tortured by the bangs of hunger. The letter which he writes just be- fore his death to Cosette, his little foster daughter, and her lover, tells in few words the whole idea of Victor Hugo's wonderful story.
 Dear children,' he says, "I have suffered mach through the misera- ble theft of loaf of bread; impris- oned, bounded and dishonored. l have endeavored by life of repen- tance and self-abnegation to assuage the troubles of others. Misery con cerns us all Forgiveness is all l , ask for any deception 1 may have imposed upon you. Jean Naljean. There is an atmosphere to this photodrama that is not to be found in those of our own making. The French actors, all of note, give an unusual interpretation of of the story. The scenes of Paris and those of rural France are so differ ent from the beauties of our own country with which we are familiar and the thought of our soldiers fighting in the land of the tricoior makes these scenes particularly ab- sorbing. A fact worthy of note is the interest of young people and school authorities in this master piece. Surely no story has such strong appeal to the heart as the life story of Jean Valjean.
 The names of Victor Hugo, the aikhor. Pathe. the producer and dis tributor and capelani, the director.

One Grower Expects Have 5000 Strawberries to Place Upon Market
 This Season.
STOCK IS ROLLING FAT
Party Leave Juneau forIsa Fishing Trip and Say They Never Saw
 Finer Places.

Catching all the fish they needed and viewing farm produce and stock equal to that raised anywhere, a launch party returned early this morning from the Eagle River Val ley, tired, but well satisfied with their trip.
 The members report that they any place when they viewed the Eagle river farms One grower told them that he would have 5000 box es of strawberries this season from his vines which are now in full blossom The stock was rolling fat
 Near the mouth of Eagle river was seen a trap in which two fish ermen are catching herring for bait for the baibut boats. There were between 400 and 800 barrles of her ring left in the trap at the time. The halibut boats call in there on their way out to Icy Straits and procure bait, and the two men who operate the trap are in fair way to become capitalists. The fishing in a stream near Eagle river was great sport.
 The party consisted of Mir and
 Mrs. w. C. Edwins, Frank Bach, Mrs Robert Caughlin, MT. and Mrs. Kearney, MT and Mrs. R. G. Day.
 Babe Samples and John -----r-. The trip was made in the good ship Pirate" and the party left Juneau
 at six o'clock yesterday morning, circling Douglas Island and returning
 over the bar early this morning. Several stops were made at points of interest and all enjoyed them selves immensely.
 | Mrs. Edwins and Mrs. Kearney
 proved the best fishermen in the party, having secured the greater
 number and the largest fish. In
 fact some of the men just couldn't get anything but mosquito bites" | Those making the trip say they
 would not like to say just how large sume of the bigger trout were
 for fear that their veracity might be questioned.
 Hillary McKanna. who has farm ! up the river, stated yesterday that he had just finished planting his crop, and that everything was coni-
 ing up fine, but that rain was need
 ed for the crops. He reports his livestock as in excellent condition.

German ships, other than those

day that the United States would not
have at its disposal all of the British
ships which had been used to take
the troops to France.
Both England and France will be
anxious to return to their HON IS their

troops, will not be longer needed in
Europe, and are eager to get to their
native land.
