calculated to curb borrowing.
When the amendment to the Fed

rates in their respective districts was
proposed in Congress. the Federal

SIBERIAN WHEAT IS
 PROLIFIC IN TANANA

From teacupful of Siberian spring wheat planted six years ago in the vicinity of Fairbanks, more than 2,000 bushels of grain were harvested last year, with an average yield of 20 bushels per acre with a value of $550 per bushel, according to the chamber of commerce of White. horse.
 There are now 102 homesteaders in the vicinity of Fairbanks engaged in raising wheat, barley, oats and other farming products.
 The reports show that oats are very prolific in the Panama valley and that yields of 79 bushels are not uncommon. This statement is voucheed for by M. D. Snodgrass, su- perintendent of the agricultural ex- pertinent station at Fairbanks.

The ruling followed the application of Norman c. Moser of this city to drill for oil and gas in Perry county
 The commission held that if there really is. oil or gas under the Perry county forests they will keep without deterioration and they will be need ed more in the future than at pres ent. The members of the commission agreed they were not in any way in- turing the rights of the present gen. eration and were protecting those of posterity.

WIFE ACCUSED SENDING HUBBY
 TO AN ASYLUM

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 28.- Claiming that his former wife has been guilty of the very things with which she charges him, Franklin D. Williams, foreman shipbuilder has flied an answer to the petition of Mrs. Annabell Williams to set aside the divorce which he secured two years ago.
 Mrs. Williams claims that Williams had her sent to an insane asylum in 1875, then secured 8 divorce on gorunds of desertion, serving her with the summons by publication. As soon as this decree became final he was united in marriage to Catherine "Specula.
 Williams denies his wife's charges and says that she got the idea for her charges from her own experiences He says that he learned recently that the first Mrs. Williams was united in marriage in August, 1886, in Beloit, kas., to John Kelly, who died in June, 1918.
 In May, 1892, he says, she caused Kelly to be placed in an insane asy- lum. He says she secured a divorce from Kelly in Alameda county in September, 1901, alleging desertion He says she secured service of the summons by publication, alleging she did not know Kellys whereabouts.
 Williams says Mrs. Kelly became his wife in 1903 He ask the court to adjudge that their marriage shoulf be annulled because she was still the wife of Kelly when the ceremony was performed.
 In her petition Mrs. Williams, who was recently released from an asy, lum, asks $100 a month permanent maintenance.

IDITAROD CAMP IS
 ALMOST DESERTED

In spite of the fact that large part of the Iditarod population has left the camp during the past couple of seasons, there is some mining going on there, according to Joseph H. Smith of Fairbanks, who recently made trip to Iditarod on business.
 The principal mining at present is confined to Otter and Flat creeks, two dredges being operated on the former and several small outfits on the latter stream. The dredges are owned by the Riley and Beaton inter- ests. The town of Iditarod, which boasted a large population in the boom days of the camp, now has only five women and about dozen men, and a number of these are planning to leave for the states before the end of the season. There are several stores, some of which will be closed as soon as the stocks are disposed of
 1uele nave DeeH uO uoW oIilheo in the district lately, MT. Smith says and no developments to encourage the belief there will be a revival of min ing there in the immediate future. Like all other interior gold camps, the cost of mining there at the present is such that only the richest remaining ground is worked
