They made a nice coop for him and

It was good thing they did, for

coal comes to these countries. free.
and the British miner is out Of luck.
But It is nothing for US 10 be
alarmed about. AS soon as our own
strike has been settled 1t will cease.
Perhaps 1t is the silver lining TO the
strike cloud-the lining to the con-
sumner. that he can get coal. and TO the
British miner. that he can now have
a little spasmodic employment.
Our own strike seems TO have set
tied down to a logged fight. Neither
side has shown any signs Of weaken
ing. Some sporadic district settle
ments have been made, but not many.
The laid UP stocks Of coal OF industry
have not been eaten UP yet, so there IS
no famine or shutdown to amount to
much by factories. Pig iron has gone
up a trifle, but that was to have been
expected.
Perhaps the most interesting thing
of all is the announced determination
of congress to unearth the facts about
the mines: the injunction by the oper-
.ators preventing the federal trade COM
mission from examining their books
has evoked congressional ire, quite
properly. We trust that congress viii
enact laws which win enable govern
ment agencies to discover the real
facts OF the coal controversy. The
suggestion OF President Underwood, Of
the Erie railway, that there be a fed
eral coal commission with the power
to limit production SO as to insure
steady production to the nation, seems

Nellie Cashman is in Our Town, after year and half's absence, but she is little ahead of schedule, not caring much to leave the Koyukuk where she has spent so many years of her life lining up property and a pay streak, says the Fairbanks News Miner. Today she has everything she hoped for, and is out after development to start something there that will make a whirlWind finish to her long career in the mining camps of the frontier. Meanwhile she has a pocket full of development money, checks given her a year and a half ago for small interests in her property; and she hasn't cashed one of them, and will not until she has enough of them to start the development of a chain of properties which should in produc- tion make the record she wishes to leave behind her.
 By the inexperienced and young, Miss Cashman who is nearing the allotted score of years for mankind and womankind, might be considered f a character" but to those who have lived the Frontier she is about the last natural Old Prospector left. Dick Wood isn't so young, but when he was just a kid and knew Nellie first she was prospecting in the Arizona camps and wore a belt which carried two six-guns, as everyone did in those days From that day until now she has haunted the Far Camps, hunting the elusive paystreak, never fearing what might lie between, playing the game as a man would play it, ask ing no consideration because she is a woman and as safe everywhere as though she was in Gods vest pocket, because she is real Where suffering was, there was Nellie, taking care of the afflicted She never needed help from anyone, and was fortunate in that. Jew, Gentle, Saint Sinner, Catholic, Protestant-they have al ways been alike to Nelly, and they all love and respect her. Now she has at last, near the Trails End, landed what she has spent half a century looking for-and she is out to make that record and killing which started her on the long trail fifty years ago.

BURBERRY NO MORE IN YUKON HILLS SINCE
 SUMMER COLD WAVE

| Where is the blueberry of last year?
 It is nowhere. It is gone, says the Dawson News. It could not stand the horrible spell of July cold weather and so kept it's tender head under cover It has refused to come forth to tickle the palate of the Yukoner.
 Last year the hills were covered with berries and the pickers had the time of their lives. On almost any | likely side hill the berries were to be | had by the ton, but now a picker is lucky to get one little pail full. It is the same story with the luscious rasp- berry. No longer are the bushes bend ing down to the ground with the fruit. It is a business as we'll as a first class outing, harvesting the wild fruits of the Yukon. Boys and girls make pretty little pokes each year, and not alone the youth of the country, but the lord of the manor and his lady. With the dignity and comfort of the auto mobile, they set forth to the more dis tant berry patches, heavily stocked with oil cans to bear home winters supply. But not this summer!
 It was estimated that last year there were thirty tons of blueberries picked around Dawson and on the creeks. A fair figure to suggest for these ber- ries would be twenty cents a pound. At that rate s12,OOO worth of blue berries were picked in a short season of about six or eight weeks. Part of this supply was preserved or put in cold storage and held over for the winter months, and it filled most ne- cessary want, since it was impossible to get other fresh fruit in any large quantities.
 The raspberry is not so abundant, but it has a large following. Wherever there is a bush with a berry on if, there, it is almost certain, some curi- ous person will be lowering ready, with open palm extended, for the berry to fall into it. But these ber- ries are as sensitive to the cold as the blueberry, and so the palm may he held out in vain this summer. There is a chance that the tough old cranberry can stand up against the cold and save it's name and repu- tation.

them. They are something else again in stock certificates, for Nellie's com- pany is not incorporated, has no of ficers and no offices-she will run it from soda to hoo, and the stockhold- CTS will be satisfied to have it that way, for she won't have any kind of stockholders, because she doesn't need them in her business. She is after development money and knows just how much she Wants-anything de- rived over that amount from the sale of stocks will lie in the First National Bank and be part of the returns to the people who pay for such stock. Nel- lie is a prospector and miner-nOt promoter-and her share of what is derived from the properties will be less than any real promoter ever received in the history of the world, and that is all right with her. She says she does not need much money in the days left to her, she has no one dependent upon her, all her relatives are we'll to-do and able to take good care Of themselves and Of her, if she would al- low them to, which she won't, and now that she knows she has it, she just wants to make whirlwind finish and leave the Oldtimers of the North the better off for the quarter of century she has spent among them.
 Miss Cashman is on her way Out side, to finish the development con- pany she is starting now. If the peo- pie of this camp knew when they were well off, we do not believe that Nellie would ever be allowed to leave this camp with share of stock in her development company for sale. A de- veloper who can carry thousands Of dollars worth of certified checks on her for a year and half and not cash one of them, because they did rot amount to enough in the aggregate to start real development work, is a developer and a promoter that every man should be glad to tie to.
 Besides, from the Koyukuk, she has with her today plenty of gold dust, and nuggets that it would strain a hen to lay, taken from the ground she wishes to develop. As Nellie says: q don't have to tell them; I can show them!"

 Asked who he thought would win the coming fight in London the cham pion said he was a good friend of Carpenter and Lewis and would like to see both make a good showing. but from selfish standpoint he would prefer to see the Frenchman win, as a match with him would make a much better and more popular one for the title holder.
 "As matter of fact" he added, Carpenter is much the filter man and ought to be able to walk away with the fight. If he does will sign up with him immediately after and meet him in London sometime during the winter.''
