DISCUSS TELEPHONE RATES.

Representative citizens from the five
magisterial Districts OF the county
conferred with Manager Getzendanner
of the jefferson County Telephone
Company at the company,s once IN
Charles Town Tuesday afternoon IN
regard to the proposed increase IN Ieie-
phone rates. Practically all OF them
admitted the necessity for increased
rentals to offset the advance IN ocpef-
ating expenses-due to the mgher
price of materials and supplies and 10
the difficulty of obtaining operators
While acknowledging the need OF
greater revenue, nearly all OF the citi-
zens giving expression to their views
favored a higher rate for rentals IMAM
the one petitioned for by the company,
if bv that means, the proposed toii
charges between exchanges IN the
county could be avoided. Announcer
matter wherein there was practlcai
agreement among those who came 70
discuss the telephone situation, was
that the service being rendered the
public should be improved. One pa
tron stated that he had frequently
spent ten minutes in futile eHort "

There was a general condemnation
of the party-line hog who wants "
talk for ten to thirty minutes at
time, regardless of the rights aho
feelings of other folks entitled TO
reasonable use of the line. Inns pal
ticular nuisance was regarded as VIZ
nigh hopeless, because many Oh thoSs
who abuse the telephone are zoo eio
to reform, or to acquire respect ioi
others rights. nos

patrons in attendance. He SAID ne ma.

GOLD SEEKERS QUIT KOYUKUK
Famous Alaska Mining District Grad
uaIly Becoming Thing of
the Past

Anchorage, Alaska.-The Koyukuk
mining district, one Of the very oldest
m Alaska dating from 1884, Is now
in the thrOes of fight to remain on
the map. Prices of necessaries, always
high in that region, when given addi-
tional impetus during the war, started
an exodus of the few remaining min
erS out of the country.
Travellers arriving here from the dig
gings 80 miles north of the arctic cir
Gle say that the Red mountain region,
in the lower section of the Koyukuk
district is practically deserted. Arctic
City and Bergman, small localities,
are no more.
BEETLES is still In existence; Cold
Foot, Myrtle Creek and Nolan Creek
are also hanging on to the name of
camp. But the old miners have largely
gone, and whether the famous mining
district is ever rejuvenated again, none
can foretell.

Cummins Favors
Separating League
From Peace Treaty

Washington, May 1O.-Senators
Penrose of Pennsylvania and Cum
minis of Iowa, republicans, in state
ments today, commented on the pro-
posal to separate the league COW
enant from the peace treaty, the
former saying that the separation
was not of first importance as it or
any other part of the treaty might
be amended in the senate, while
the latter declared his preference for
the change.
Both senator's referred to the
granting to Japan of the Shantung
peninsula, Mr.. Penrose describing it
as "a bribe to Japan to concur in
the league OF nations" and Mr.. Cum
Minis saying he had been so be-
wildered by the rapidity with which
the a points have been shattered
that l have not been able to con-
centrate on~ any particular disturb
ance."
Partial removal of his objections
to the league of nations covenant
was mentioned by Senator Cummins,
who said he was not prepared to say
that the language on these points is
now satisfactory" but that there has
been IAN approach toward their cor
rection,"

Terms Of Peace Treayt Read
to Former Emperor; En-
press Depressed.

Anerongen, May l1.-(By the AS
sociated Press. AN official abstract
of the preliminary peace terms pub
lished in the Dutch newspapers
(which was retranslated and read TO
the former German emperor today,
has aroused considerable excitement
among the members of the Hohen-
zollern party.
An inkling of what the. entente i'll
tended to do in bringing William
Hohenzollern to trial had reached
the German officials earlier in the
week.
4 The empress was very much de-
pressed on hearing the news.
Meanwhile, the former emperor
continued his usual occupation of
saving logs, but apparently he is
suffering from ever-growing ner-
vous excitement. His saw worked
as never before and his physician,
DR.. Forester, who assisted him, was
completely exhausted at lunch
time.
How the former emperor took
the news, the correspondent was
unable to ascertain as every one in
the castle is sworn to secrecy as
regard to happenings. Rumors
were circulated in the village that
he attempted to commit suicide by
hanging, but these are considered
