McCarthy, Alaska,
Saturday. Sept loth 1910
Never in its highest water
has Nizina river had r>ueh a ten
rific rush as boiled out of the
Pot Hole last Wednesday.
The only damage this volume
of water did to the railroad tres
tle was to take out a few bents.
This all goes to show that a
bridge across the Nizina could
be built to stay if similar en
gineering were employed.
One morningthis week a man
walked into this office and ask
ed for some Bolsheviki papers.
We were unable to grant his
request, so he purchased the
last issue of the McCarthy Week
ly News and Ladies Home Jour
nal. We failed to see
the connection, but when we
heard later through village gos
sip that the man had been und
er the influence of liquor for se
veral days, we gave up trying to
follow7 the workings of his mind.
J
JUVENILE FINANCE
The late J. P. Morgan said he
would lend any amount of mon
ey to a man of character, but no
thing to one of bad repute, no
matter what his security.
Some western banks seem to
hold the same opinion. Last
year banks in Mississippi loaned
$40,000 to boys and girls, mostly
under 18, members of agricult
ural clubs, to purchase improv
ed seed and pure bred pigs and
calves. So far as is known not
a single loss has occurred, altho
no collateral was given and the
notes had no responsible endor
sers.
Kansas banks put out $75,000
in the same way, without loss.
These agricultural clubs are
are teaching children not only |
how to greatly increase product
on, but business ethics as well.
Wall Street would gladly see
• that kind of instruction extend
ed to all parts of the country.
AFTERNOON TEA
Recently a Wall Street 1'inan
i cier had occasion to call upon a
I member of a foreign banking
; house late in the afternoon.
Not being familiar with the!
English practice, he was sur
prised when tea was brought [
in, and business was suspended
temporarily. 4
Inquiry developed the fact
that it was the daily practice of
the returned soldier, whose j
imagination evidently had not i
suffered from gas or shell
shock, the latter told him his
experience with afternoon tea'
He was being shaved in Lon
don one afternoon, when, with
& word, the barber walked out
%
of the room, leaving him with
only one side of his face shaved.
In the course of time the bar
ber returned and took up the
work where he had left off.
“Your persoual business interests would be bettered by a
bank connection. We believe that this bank can serve you
advantageously.”
