 Faithful Service
 of Collie Dog are
 Remembered in Will

Denver, Col, Feb. 21.-The faith full service and companionship. of his collie dog are remembered in the will of Louis Ferrari, who died re- gently at Albuquerque, N. M., while enroute to his mountain home on his ranch in Bear Creek canyon, near Denver.
 Maggie" wonderfully intelli- gent and beautiful dog, was Ferrari's constant companion, and in his will, filed here, he set aside fund of $500 for her care and burial. When she dies she is to be placed in a casket and laid to rest under the giant pine trees on the sunny slope of Brookvale, the Ferrari home ranch. That was the dying wish of the master, and it will be carried out to the letter by Joseph J. Celia, administrator of the estate.
 For many years Maggie" was a star attraction among the hundreds of tourists who visited the ranch of her master. At the request of Fer

Newest Alaskan Mining Camp is
 SpOtless Town

Ketchikan, Alaska, Feb. N.-Hy- der, newest of all Alaska mining camps, is a "spotless town.' and many stampeders who rush there in the spring are not going to find drinking, dancing and gambling go- ing on wide open, as in the gold camps of the first stampede in '98, long before prohibition came, accord ing to reports received here.
 If Hyder's new residents find any thing out of the ordinary next spring they may find it in Stewart, a Canadian town not far from Fly der It is probable, however, that the red coated constables of the Roy al Northwest Mounted Police, who kept order at Dawson in the gold days, will be at Stewart next spring to see that things are within the law.
 For veV brief period this win ter Hyder was "wide open," accord ing to reports. "Whiskey and beer were sold at many bars, girls were dancing, pianos were dumped and roulette, blackjack and faro were be- ing played" wrote one miner from the town.
 Then John Roman, formerly terri torial senator, was appointed Unit ed States marshal and he closed ev- erything up. Bang went the lid and hundreds could not get away from Hyder fast enough" the miner wrote. Many went to Stewart. there everything seems to be wide open"
 Hyder would have had popula- tion of 10000 in three months if the "lid" had been left off, the finer predicted. But the Hid" was clamp ed down and the population dwin- dled,

IFkTHERS' AND SONS
 BANQUET WILL BE
 E GIVEN ON FRIDAY
MayDr Hollis Issues PrOclama- tion for Observance
 Here

Preparations for the Fathers and Sonss banquet to be given Friday nighk~either at the Y. M. c. A., or at the Shriner's temple, are going forward successfully. A good musi- cal nrogram consisting of two selec- tion$by male quartette, solos, duet&Sand other numbers, will be prepHTed, as we'll as list of in- teresfing speakers.
 Special sermons on Go-To-Church Sunday, February 29, will be preach ed bY Pine Bluff ministers and fath- CTS and sons will attend church to- gethsr. The Fathers and Sons weekSin nationwide movement for Cooperation and a better under standing between fathers and sons.
 The following is 8 a.suggested, out line Sson how Father and Son week may Abe observed.
 MQhday-Final preparation day. Meeting of oyur committee for final prep&rations for the week.
 Tu9sday-Hom day. Plan to have the father spend the evening at home
 Wednesday, Fathers day. A day for fathers conferences and dis cussi6ns Q nthe boy.
 Thnrsday "Tell your boy" day. This gives splendid opportunity for fathers to tell their boys things that they ought to know regarding their social and mental life.
 Friday Annual banquet day. A good. day sto have Father and Son
 Saturday Recreation day. \ day set aside when father can go off with his boy either as individuals or in group, for picnic.
 Sunday-Go to church day. The pastor can arrange special Father and Son service.
 Mayor M. c. Hollis has issued the following proclamation urging fath- CTS and sons to observe the week:
 Proclamation.
 To the People of Pine Bluff, Ark:
 Because it has an important bearing on civic welfare in Pine Bluff. as we'll as on individual well fare in countless cases, feel it my duty to call attention to the we'll conceived plan for 9 Father and Son Week."
 The purpose is admirable. Any thing that tends to bring father and son closer together in friendly spirit can not but be beneficial to them selves and the community.
 "I believe that fathers can do more than any others to stem the great and alarming tide of dropping out of school, which carried many boys out into the world unfit for progress and prosperity or public service.
 Many boys grew to manhood vir- tually ignorant of even the simplest processes of government. These every father can explain to his son. The son, in every case, should become better than his father, for that marks progress.
 ssThe week that is coming will sug- gest many ways in which fathers may gain more completely the confidence of their sons, with all that means of effective guidance and unresented council.
 Fl ,therefore, call upon the fath- CTS dSthis city and request their CO operSkion in this important move mentby attending with their sons at letEat one of the meetings to be held Muring the Father and Son WeelM hope the men who have no ssns will befriend the boys who have Snp fathers.
 Yours very truly, I'M. c. HOLLIS, Mayor"

Coal is scarce and high, Recent figures
brought out in testimony before the Inter-

startling fact that shipments from the
mines since April have been 1,245,000 tons

There appears to be no relief in sight,
and the demand for fuel is causing buyers
to bid up prices to unheard of figures. Or
binary mine run and screenings from the
Southern Illinois fields are now costing our
Company over $11.00 ton, laid down at the

lately the Company will not be able to fl

only one-third of the normal Lake Shipments

The Company must be in position to meet
this kind of competition if light and power

can only be accomplished by legislating rates
in keeping with existing conditions, that the
business in your community will be placed
upon self-supporting basis. 1t takes cash

Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-08-05

We urge that your council take immed-
late steps to release the funds impounded
under previous litigation instituted in con-
nection with the rate controversy. We be-
lieve you realize that conditions prevailing
today are on a materially higher plane of
prices than existed prior to the war, and
that there is no article or service entering
your homes or places of business that have
not increased from 100 per cent to 500 per
cent with the single exception of the cost to
you, of electricity.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-08-05

Without winter surplus, there is bound
to be many interruptions to service. In past
years, we have piled up in the local yard,
during the summer months, several hundred
tons Of storage coal, to be drawn upon dur
ing the period when the domestic demand
is heavy and freezing weather retards the
normal movements of freight. Our plant
would have been shut down for days at
time if this policy had not been carried out.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-08-05

Public Utility Companies are confronted
with the most serious problem in their his
tory. During the war period, their coal cost
doubled-to $500 and $500 ton-now it
has doubled again, and still rising 1t must
be admitted that they are justly entitled to
an increase in the selling price of their pro-
duct, in fact it is essential to the public in
terest if good service is to be maintained
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-08-05

The country is facing the most serious
fuel shortage in its history, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if our Company will be
able to acquire sufficient coal to provide for
its full requirements this winter, unless a
reserve supply can be built up during the
next two months. For the benefit of COM
munities that cooperate in meeting the sit
uation, the Company will first feel obligated
to provide with fuel when there is but linn
tied amount obtainable.
In view of existing conditions which
obviously affect our common interest, we
trust to receive your prompt and earnest
support.
Respectfully yours,
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1920-08-05

The situation is critical, furthermore, it
affects our ability to furnish service to your
community for an indefinite period. Exist
ing conditions can only be met by prompt
and concerted action accompanied by true
spirit of cooperation and fair play. There
is no time to mince words if the coal is to be
bought-here are the facts
Early rate schedules were established
when steam coal cost approximately $3.50
ton unloaded at the plant, now it costs four
times that figure. Wages have more than
doubled in the meantime. The advancing
cost of fuel and labor has caused our opera
ton in your community to be conducted at
loss for many months. The time has now
arrive when we must ask you to aid us in
meeting the situation, that future service
may be provided.
