In the past six months there was not
a single protested piece of paper han
dled by any of the three banking in
stitutions comprised in the chains of
banks operated at different points by
the Bank of Alaska, according to An
drew Stevenson, president of the or
ganization, who is a guest at the New
Washington.
“ Our system operates the Bank of
Alaska at Skagway, Wrangell and An
chorage,” said Mr. Stevenson last
night, “and this is a remarkable evi
dence of the integrity and stability of
the 1,300 depositors dealing with our
banks, that we have handled not a sin
gle item of protested paper.
“ We have recently established a
branch of the Bank of Alaska at An
chorage, which has been in operation
about four months, and the results
more than satisfy us. In fact, we
hardly anticipated so much success.
This community is a marvel to me.
Embracing as it does, working men to
a marked degree, it is remarkably free
of ruffianism or drunkenness. In fact,
on Labor day there were 9,000 persons
attracted to Anchorage by the celebra
tionand not a single arrest for drunk
enness or disorderly conduct was re
corded."
Mr. Stevenson will return to Wran
gell, the headquarters of the system,
today.

(Seattle P.-I.)
A. G. Shoup, superintendent of the
Alaska Pioneers’ Home at Sitka, ar
rived in Seattle Wednesday and is a
guest at the Washington Annex. Mr.
Shoup will remain here about three
weeks and is on his vacation, though
before returning North he will attend
to some business matters pertaining to
the institution he represents.
“ This ‘ sourdough ’ home was estab
lished by the territory in 1913,” said
Mr. Shoup yesterday, “ and we now
have 65 inmates, most of them old
fellows who have pioneered it in al
^mestkjavery district of Alaska.
“ The territory establishing this
home for the purpose of caring for the
old ‘ sourdoughs ’ and the Sitka insti
tution is really a haven for these old
fellows, who have become incapacitat
ed from further pursuing the golden
rainbow. The average of the 65 in
mates of this home the territory also
has a pension system which cares for
the needs of a number of others who
are not altogether helpless, as well as
of the widows and needy women.”
