 WED LAST EVE
POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE UNITED IN MATRIMONY BY COMMIS-
 SSIONER; LEAVE TODAY.

Last evening at the Pioneer hotel Commissioner Heilig united Miss Grace Rolston and MT. Roy Blair in marriage Mrs. Charles Beam and Jess Bryant were the attendants, while MT. and Mrs Durwood Hooker and Charles Beam were witnesses. After the ceremony, the wedding party adjourned to the Model cafe, and partook of sumptous repasr. MT. and Mrs Blair will leave on a honeymoon trip to the states this afternoon on the steamer Alaska. They expect to be gone about four months, and then will return to Fair banks
 Both MT. and Mrs. Blair are well known and popular residents of thi' city. Mrs. Blair attended school here for many years, and has worked in the local telephone office and lately in the post office, in fact resigning the latter position this last week. MT. Blair has been interested in mining in this vicinity for several years.

especially to the Interior. It comes at d time when our main industry, mining. is already staggering under the weight of high cost of every kind, affecting everything that the miner uses.
 It may be true. as is claimed, that the operations of the steamship companies dur ing the past season have not been financially successful. But it should not be necessary to boost the already towering tariffs in order to make up the deficits The companies are al ready charging all that the traffic will bear Further advances will tend to lessen their gross operating revenues by stitling many branches of the mining industry which are not now making more than a bare living profit from their operations.
 We believe that the advances are being made without the companies having made a study of Alaskan conditions which do not justify further rate increases, nor in fact higher costs of anything. This is especially true in the interior mining industry which since 1917 has been able to keep its head above the water only by the greatest effort. With the gold standard unchanged, and the price of everything necessary for its produc- tion doubled and in some cases trebled the continuation of the Alaska placer mining in duStrv has been effected al an actual loss It cannot stand many more advances and still live Even the raise of freight rates Sl co ton is serious factor in the present stage of production and will make more difficult the task of keeping the mining industry alive in this section of Alaska.

HOT SPRINGS
 MINER IN HARD
 LUCK FOR TIME,
WAS INTERNED BY GERMANS IN LORRAINE AND WAS CAUGHT TRYING TO GET AWAY. ALMOST SHOT BY GERMANS AFTER TRIAL.

He says he had no complaint jo make over the way he was treated, being interned in German camp for d while and later paroled, and allow ad to buy a home for himself and wife, but the low ratiOnS and lack of food was too much for him and he tried to escape, but was caught in lhe city of Cologne while making for the Holland border He was returned unpunishcd. but on making q later attempt he Was captured and taken .' the German fortress of Metz, and

Mir Wagner remained a prisoner until the armsticc was signed, how eyur and he says no one WaS any glader to see thte American troops enter Germany than he was When he entered Lorraine he weighed lI0 pounds. and when the armistCe Wa5 signed he weighed only ll5 pounds due to lack of food. When the Americans arrived Mr Wagner was in good and was given permission to travel over France and Germany, talk ing in all the various battletields His pass port is signed by General Persh- ing himself Finally MT Wagner man aged to get away from the othcrsidc on a transport bringing back troops but Vas unable at that time to bring aIs wife with him.
 During his absence word had been received that MT Wagner was sery- ,ng 3n d German submarine, he hay ing a marine engineers license and on the declaration of war against Ger many by the United States all his propc ty was seized by the alien prop erty custodian, inclrr ng a sum of ,unney in the First National bank.

He will confer with Mr. Roth today, and take whatever steps are necessary. He was taken in a special venire for the Cooper trial yesterday so could not make any arrangements.
