YOUNG MAN OF
 JUNEAU HAVING
 OWN TROUBLES
Trying to Square Himself with His Wife, Also His
 Mother-in-Law.

Local social cir> les are being stirred to their depths by the go- ings-on of a prominent young man of this city It is no secret that Frank is trying to square himself with his wife and mother-in-law, but things are looking very black for him.
 It seems that Eva went on a trip to Seattle this summer, leaving Frank here to attend to business as usual. While Eva was away Frank stepped out some with George Fisher and other live ones, and when ques- toned about it by his wife when she returned he gave as an excuse that he had spent his evenings in taking the degrees incidental to joining the Masonic Lodge Upon investigation, however, it was ascertained that nothing was known about his initia- tion byS the regular members of the order,
 Eva has written to her mother Mrs. Bloodgood who lives in Skag- way regarding her suspicious and it is learned upon good authority that Mrs. Bloodgood and her husband will soon be here. She has had some ex- perience with a gay husband, for Amos Bloodgood is some stopper himself and when Franks mother in-law, arrives, unless he is in the clear, things are going to happen to him. We'll say they will.
 Georpa EiSher Frank; friend is doing his best to help Frank out, but so far has only succeeded in getting him deeper into the mire. The young couple have hosts of friends who sincerely hope that their domestic difficulties will be amisably settled. Eva will start no legal proceedings. however until after next Thursday, when the Bloodgoods will arrive with their two other young daughters, Annie and Lulu.
 hearing at the Coliseum next Thurs day afternoon and evening. The pub lie has been invited to attend to hear Franks side of the matter, for, as Eva says, if he cannot clear himself she will get a divorce. .The affair will be fully discussed in the forth coming comedy, Are You a Mason?" and all who attend can judge for themselves whether Frank should be exonerated or not.
 The seat sale opened at Britt's Pharmacy this forenoon.

WET WEATHER IS
 CAUSE OF GREAT BERRY FAILURE
Several Hundred Crates of Strawberries Spoiled by
 Continual Rain.

That the strawberry production of this section of Alaska suffered a ter rible loss from the wet weather of the past three weeks is the conchu- sion reached by berry farmers and by those who have interested them selves n the matter
 Berries were going, very well and "a big crop was looked for, right up until the rainy weather started three weeks ago., After that pickers could not work in the patches and many berries rot.ed on the bushes. The berries, from the lack of sunlight. ripened small or routed before they became ripe. A conservative esti. mate of the loss in berries would place it at more than 300 crates that were a dead loss
 Al Forsythe, who has three acres containing 5000 plants at Colt Island, near Bear Creek, Admiralty Island, marketed the last berries for the season from his ranch yesterday. He had good year, bringing in and selling more than 200 crates, but would have had at least 50 more crates if the weather had been dry. Unless the weather gets real warm and dry he will have no more Der ries of marketable quality, but will have small ones for canning.
 At Strawberry Point, where there are many acres in berries, during the first part of July the bushes were loaded. according to people who have returned from there. Rain was much needed to save the bushes and Der ries from dying from drouth when it started to rain and rained for more than two weeks almost steadily. The crop was ruined and perhaps several hundred crates spoiled.
 The same thing is true at Eagle River and at Haines. where the wet weather caused the loss of many berries that otherwise would have been marketed There are also two more berry farms near Bear Creek, on Admiralty Island, where the loss was very great.

COOPERATIVE 1 COAL MINING
 GAINING FAVOR
Hungarians in West Virginia
 and Kentucky Develop ! a New Scheme.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Co0peratiye coal mining is gaining favor among Hungarian miners in the United States. Several large enterprises in the bituminous fields are now being operated by them.
 The Foreign Language Information Service here in making public this fact said that the Himler Coal Com pany, of Himlerville, w. Va, is the largest of these cooperative mining concerns and that it is owned and controlled by it's 1,400 Hungarian workers.
 These miners are receiving good wages, it was stated. and are also sharing in the profits of the enter prise, which they financed at a cost of $50O,00 They are now planning to raise $2,000,0 to obtain control of additional coal land and work ings.
 The cooperative company was founded by Martin Himler, an expert enced Hungarian coal miner, who came into West Virginia and estab- lished a small newspaper about two years ago. The company has now built the entire town of Himlerville. There it maintains bank and pub fishes a weekly paper in the Hun garian language, the Magyar Ban yaszlap" Hungarian Miners Jour- nab It also recently built power house to supply homes of the miners with electricity.
 F. The governors of Kentucky and West Virginia are said to have com mended the company and it's pro moter for the erection of railroad bridge connecting Himlerville with Kermit Ky. Across this structure the company is operating it's own transportation. The bridge has also made it possible for the Norfolk < Western Railroad to make the min ing town a/regular station.
 Although the workings of the co operative company are located in the lower Tug River district, wliere there has been considerable labor trouble the Hungarian miners have been steadily working with no fear oi strike. The company stockholders at recent meeting invited public inspection of their books. mines and workshops.
 Another similar enterprise. the Nebo American Coal Company. has been incorporated in Kentucky, with capital of $24O.000, all owned by the workers themselves.

FOREST FIRE AND
 SHELL EXPLOSION
 START WAR RUMOR

DIXMUDE, Belgium, Aug. 9.-The inhabitants of Langemarck, Clerck- em, Staden, Woumen and other viii lages bounding the forest of Houth ulst, were startled out of their sleep one night recently by furious can nonading which brought them scurry' ing out of their more or less re- paired dwellings and in search of dug-outs as they used to do during "the four terrible years as they were called in West Flanders.
 The peasants around the forest have become experts in artillery and the barrage that night, they say, was something more terrific than they had ever heard during the war. First there came volleys of the familiar German seventy-sevens, Austrian eighty-eights to which there would reply the rapid staccato of hundreds of batteries of French seventy-fives The forest of Houthulst was ablaze and owing to the protracted trough; fire was spreading with furious rapidity.
 Then cavalry arrived on the scene They were Belgians from this bat tered town, come to fight the forest fire.

 Suddenly the cry was heard "Gas!. and there was a stampede The soldiers began to distribute ga masks and. throughout the night peasants and soldiers, armed witt spades, shovels and picks, dug trench that the fire might be stopped before it reached the huge ammuni tion dumps left by German and Al lied troops in the ceBter of the for est, millions of shells of ali kinds almost enough, it was said. ito blov West Flanders into the North Sea.

 To Disappear from Cuba

HAVANA, Cuba, Aug. 9.-"Filthy lucre," actually if not metaphorical- ly, will disappear from Cuba if those who have been filling the ''vox pop uli' columns of the papers with dia- tribes against soiled bank notes take advantage of the governments offer to exchange bright new. nickel and silver pieces for United States currency that has been circulating for nearly a quarter of a century on this island
 Only American paper money Is circulated in Cuba and the govern ments offer is limited to one and two-dollar bills which it plans to re turn to the United States treasury. Thousands of such bills in circulation are so dingy, torn and patched as to be unrecOgniZable.

CONTROLS TELEPHONES

The Tupelo Journal after register
ing its opposition to the increase of
rates demanded by the Cumberland
Telephone Co.. of its Mississippi
subscribers. says:
Behind the Cumberland Tele-
phone Co.. are the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co., and the
Western Electric Co.. which are
practically one and the same cor
poration. The American Telephone
Co.. owns, it is stated on authority,
81 per cent. of the stock of the West
ern Electric Co., and the Southern
Bell Telephone Co., which is owned
by the American Telephone Co.,
own SO per cent. of the Cumberland
Co.. placing in the hands of the
American Telegraph Co., control of
the telephone business of the coun-
try. The people of the state are
being forced into paying tribute to
this great combination in order to
increase the dividends that go to
the stockholders. The plea that the
salaries of the employees would be
raised is only a subterfuge to get the
order for a raise in rates and the
employees will continue to occupy
their sweat boxes for long hours
without any perceptible addition to
their weekly stipend.

Commissioner w. B. Wilson, of this

I'VE respectfully say TO the rail-
road commissioner from this district.
Hon. w. B. Wilson. that we believe
his usefulness as public official is
ended and we urge upon him the
wisdom of his rendering his resigna-
ton at once. so that the Issue which
the Cumberland Telephone & Tele-
graph Company has raised can be put
squarely before the electorate of the
district-those who must pay the bill. +"
Such resolution protesting en-
croachments corporations havesbeen

THE BEST INVESTMENT
AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME.

THE ABERDEEN WEEKLY
is doing its best to serve all the
people of the county In further
ing their interests in such ways
as will contribute to the general
prosperity, and it asks the CO.
operation of the people of this
territory and their moral and f.
nancial support in so far as our
efforts may merit.
This support can best be given
by those who are not now receiy-
ing the paper in an order to place
their names on our subscription
books at once.
We have perfected a clubbing
arrangement with The Progress
i've Farmer-a paper devoted to
the work of advancing the South
through the development of its
agricultural resources, an effort
to become a success only when
men who cultivate the soil are
prosperous. But these men can
never become prosperous until
they farm intelligently and mar
ket their crops comparatively.
The Progressive Farmer tells
us just how to do these things
a feature which merits a place in
the home of every Southern
farmer. We desire to see it there,
together with THE ABERDEEN
WEEKLY, and for this reason
we agree to send both papers for
one year. to any address. for the
price of $500.
This proposition applies to new
and renewal subscriptions, and
if the $500 should pay you a
few weeks in advance for either
paper the time will be extended
to that date.
Send or bring $500 to THE
ABERDEEN WEELY and have
both papers visit your home fifty
two weeks-a whole year. Your
home will then be supplied with
news. entertainment and instruc-
ton for the whole family.
This would be the best two
dollar investment you could pos
sibly make at this particular time

JUsTIFIEs HIS POSITION

We have just read Commissioner
G. M. Morgan's published statement
assigning reasons why he dissented
from the order which increased the
rates of the Cumberland Telephone
Company in Mississippi.
The facts given in the explana-
ton. to our mind, form admirable
justification for his action and will
commend his judgment and consci-
ence favorably to every person in
the state who is capable of forming
correct conclusions
