A d-nghlful double suipii.se was perpetrated on two ladies by their near neighbors and a few intimate friends yesterday afternoon, the oc casion being the tin wedding anni versary of Mr. and Mrs. Bert John .-oil and tin- departure for the (Jut sid- of Mr. and Mrs Harry Edwards. The surprise was most skilfully carried out. It was arranged by Mrs. Johnson that she would have a reception for Mrs. Edwards on the eve of her departure. Then Mrs. Edwards, finding out that the date of her departure was Mrs. Johnson’s wedding anniversary, planned that a line remembrance, appropriate for a tin wedding, be given Mrs. Johnson when all the guests were assembled. This was carried out, and in the midst of the reception Mr. Johnson and Mr. Edwards carried in to the surprised hostess a splendid oak box which they deposited in the middle of the floor.

He arrived here yesterday from Nenana in the custody of a deputy marshal. District Attorney R. K. Roth, who arrived here Sunday morning from Nenana, says that all is quiet at the railroad town. He attributed tie strike trouble altogether to the agi tators, three of whom have been in terned here as alien enemies, in addition lo Lestor. The action of the federal officials in handling the strike situation at Nenana is highly approved by E. L. Wills, an immigration officer who ar rived on the Alaska, and who sailed again on the boat last night. He advises drastic action on the part of the officials in the cases of all who talk against the government.

So rapidly are the commission buildings going up here that it is practically impossible for the saw mill to supply lumber for them by working a night and day shift. A large number of new cars for tin various gangs of workmen out the line at" also under construction. There is a general shortage of building material of all kinds here. This has made it necessary that work on some of the buildings that are going up be closed down temporarily. NKNANA. July 17. In a wire re ceived at commission headquarters Commissioner liiggs is notified ol a ten per cent salary raise for the office force. The raise took effect yes terday, or tit the beginning of the last half of the month. The office force was not raised in salary at the time that the general raise for all labor departments went through at the commencement of operations this spring. The steamer Reliance left here about 11 o’clock last night for Fair banks. She should make the trip through in quick time, as she lias no barge, having left the barge A. D. Shay hf re, where it is now being unloaded. The barge will have to be taken to Fairbanks, however, as it is carrying a quantity of freight for various Fairbanks concerns, in cluding four automobiles consigned to the Northern Commercial com pany. Fifteen tons of supplies for the Engineering commission arc be ing unloaded from the Shay here, in addition to a considerable quantity or freight for the N. C. company’s local store.

(Delayed) -That the resignation "I Chancellor von Bcthmann-Hollweg, of Germany, was probably due to the inliuence of Crown Prince Frederick, is the statement contained in Associated Press dispatches received here tonight from the Berlin correspondent. And the intormation contained in the dispatches is being given official credence for the reason that it is a well known fact among the diplomats that the crown prince of Germany has aiway - disliked Chanceller ilollweg and has opposed him on practically every possible occasion. It is also thought here that the crown prince has the backing of von l linden berg and von Ludendortt, admitted!} the two stalwarts who are the most actively engaged in the conduct of the war of all German officialdom. I lie resignation of Hollweg hardly augurs well for tin realization ol the Prussian franchise reform which the kaiser ha- just decreed and signed. Lor it means a move merit toward the diminution of Germany’s war aims and therefore toward peace. It is semi officially staled in dispatches received here itv: Amsterdam and Copenhagen that Emperor Charles of \ustria has been trying for months to get the kaiser to name f e terms 011 which lie would agree to peace. The Bavarian ministers too, have been among the foremost in the peace movement, showing' that the Austrian emperor litis the backing of one of the most powerful of the German -tales in his determination to secure peace. HOOVER FOUGHT FOR FOOD ADMINISTRATOR (Associated Press) WASH I\('.TON, 1). C., |u 1 \ 1(>.—A wrangle over the 'election oi Herbert C. Hoover as food administrator of the government delayed consideration of the administra tion’.' food control legislation in the senate today. The op position to the appointment was led by Senator Reed, who | declared that Hoover’' lengthy residence in foreign conn | tries had placed him considerably out of touch with Ameri can ideals and that in this regard he was not qualified to hold the place. In defense of Mr. Hoover Senator Phelan declared that he was the most patriotic and efficient man i lor the position whose serivee could possibly be secured. In the end the anti Hooverites triumphed, the party leaders agreeing to place control in a board instead of one man. lilt Jim Sherrard, the well known min I ing man. is in Fairbanks for his first visit in nearly two years. He arrived here last night from tie Tolovana country, which district he lias made his stamping grounds sine' the camp was first struck. Asked regarding prospects, Mr. ,sherrard slated iast night that he has locat' d considerable property in the Tolo vana country, and that it has kept him busy doing assessment work. He also stated that to date he has been doing the assessment work in the wrong place, hut that in his opinion he will eventually get some money out of the Tolovana. FREIGHT NOW PRACTICALLY ALL IN HAND With the arrival here this week of three steamers, all of which are pushing barges, the freight now en route to Fairbanks from both the upper and lower river will be prac tically all cleared up as far as the American-Yukon Navigation company is concerned. The boats due to ar rive here this week with barges are the Tanana, Reliance and Alice. In addition the steamer Canadian will be here from Dawson direct. The big Yukon river packets ot the company have finished their first trip this season from St. Michael, and are now at, the mouth of the Yukon awaiting their second cargo. All of the freight brought up by the packets on their first trip will have been cleared up when the three steamers get here. All upper river freight is also prac tically cleared up, or will be with the arrival here of the steamer Ca nadian, now enroute from Dawson. The Canadian is bringing a barge load of freight, most of which is railroad material for Nenana, includ ing locomotives and rails. There will, of course, he consul erably more freight brought in this summer. But the present is the first lime that congestion on the river has been removed this season' the first time that all of the freight has been out of the way.

Davis, superintendent ot the bureau of mines experiment sta tion that is to be established here, accompanied by his wife and one assistant, E. H.

A quantity of supplies for the station arirved here with Mr. Davis on the Alaska, and more are now enroute. WILSON SENDS HIS THANKS A. li.

Tumulty, secretary i to President Wilson, conveying the j thanks of the President for the large membership of the chapter and the consequent donation.
