INTEREST RATE
FOR
NEW YORK, Sept. 23—The ap
parently smooth negotiations which
were proceeding for the loan of a bil
lion dollars to England and France
by American bankers, have met with
a check because of the unwillingness
of the bankers here to advance the
money unless a greater rate of Inter
est than five per cent is attached to
the bonds. It is beginning to look
doubtful whether over a half billion of
the bonds can be sold, as many of the
banking houses who at one time show
ed an inclination to participate have
and the commissioners from the bor
rowing countries have not yet agreed
expressed their intention not to do so,
that the money would not be used for
purchase of war munitions which
would prevent the German-Ameriean
bankers from subscribing to the loan.

A "BLIND TIGER ” IS
THE LATEST AT ANCHORAGE
A new language is being born In
Anchorage. When you ask for a
“lemon soda" there you get whiskey,
and when you ask for “soda" you get
beer. By the way, District Attorney
Spence calls a "blind pig" a “blind
tiger” which is the southern method
of giving dignity to things, no doubt.

Qf those who have made round trips
to Alaska on the excursion steamer
Spokane, and one to Airs. Alary E.
Hart, who has charg of the two ex
hibits mentioned.
A San Francisco paper, of recent
date, contains the following about the
exhibits:
“The chief exhibit from Alaska is
the hostess of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company's display in the
Transportation Palace. Airs. Alary E.
Hart, the famous Alaska lecturer,
journalist and club woman. She is

mostly world travelers, "cruisers" on
land and sea; vice president of the
Pacific Coast Woman’s Press Associa
tion, official lecturer of the Pacific
Coast S. S. Company, and a number
of other useful things. Without her
Alaska would have but a sorry exhib
it. She is brim full of information
concerning the great Territory to the
northwest and dispenses it freely to
all visitors. The exhibit consists of
various articles of interest from Al
aska comprised of private collections
loaned for the purpose."

former townsman, the late Frank
Hart, and as soon as the fair closes,
she intends to return to Alaska and]
