ANKS DIVIDENDS CIRCULATE
MUCH MONEY AT FAIRBANKS
Still the depositors of the defunct
Washington-Alaska bank flock to the
office of the receiver to draw their 16
2-3 per. cent, dividend payments on
which began Saturday, and as a re
sult many thousands of dollars are be
ing put into circulation.
A. sixteen and two-thirds per cent,
dividend on the bank's liabilities
means the payment of $139,000. Of
this amount $36,000 was paid out Sat
urday, $23,000 was disbursed yester
day, and it is expected that an addi
tional $25,000 will be passed over the
counter today and tomorrow.
After the payments of these first
few days, the call for the funds
come much more slowly, and it will be
some weeks before all are taken out.
About $6000 of the funds payable on
this dividend will have to be mailed
outside to persons no longer in the
camp.
The payment of these thousands of
dollars has helped business in this city
materially, although only a portion of
it was put in circulation here, or will be
expended in this district.
One result of the payment by the
bank was the rush on the postoffice
Saturday, some of the depositors buy
ing postal money orders in their favor,
while many others bought orders on
other offices, chiefly foreign, and sent
he money outside.—Fairbanks News

BOUGHTON, OF SKAGWAY,
SELLS OUT HIS BUSINESS
W. W. Boughton, agent for the Hum
boldt Steamship Company in Skagway,
and one of the prominent merchants of
that city for several years, has dispos
ed of his business interests to Harold

Mr. and Mrs. Boughton are expected
to leave Skagway on the next trip of

been leased for three years, but Mr.

GUP TIL WAS IN JUNEAU
ON WAY TO SEATTLE
Clyde B. Guptil, looking none the
worse for his long period of recuper
ation following a murderous attack
made on him some weeks ago in the of
fice of the Alaska Steamship Co., at
Skagway, was a passenger aboard the
steamer Jefferson Saturday night for
Seattle. Guptil is to seek the care of
an oculist and will be treated for de
fective sight. His eyes suffered much
injury at the time he was attacked.
Guptil stated to the Dispatch that he
might possibly take a trip to Califor
nia and spend a few weeks enjoying
the balmy climate of the Golden State.
He made no new statement regarding
the assault, but repeated that he does
not know who it was that assaulted
him, and is firm in his declaration that
poor light in the office when he was so
nearly killed forbade identification.
Accompanying Guptil as far as Seat
tle are Dr. W. G. Gabie, surgeon of the
White Pass hospital, and his wife. A
nurse is also making the trip to at
tend to Guptil's wants. Dr. and Mrs.
Gabie are on a month’s vacation and
will visit the celebrated Mayo broth
ers at Rochester, Minnesota, where he
may acquaint himself with the latest
methods of surgery.
