Suppose a banker would agree t
place $2,000 to the credit of !
man’s family, issued a pass book ti
the family and agreed to let then
check out the full amount if th
man died at any time during th
next twenty years, provided hi
would deposit in the bank $10*
every year; with the further guaran
tee that should the man live to th
expiration of the period, the banke
would allow HIM to check out th
money, and, in addition thereto, al
low him the interest earned on thi
class of deposits. Wouldn’t that b
a pretty good proposition? It would
but no banker could safely mak
the offer—yet, that is in effect th
offer the New York Life Insurant
Company makes. See R. S. McDon
aid, local agent.

r The weekly letter of the Seattle
' Chamber of Commerce, of April 16,
’ j says “with the sailing of the Ala
’[meda, Wednesday morning, the
* | number of persons going to Alaska
3 during the last sixty days was
rounded out to approximately 2,500.
The Alameda had a capacity list of
' (415 passengers and a fair-sized
load of freight. Although there is
h i not a rush on at present, there is
j a general drift northward larger
j than has been seen for several years,
j Most of the passengers are destined
! for westward ports, attracted by
. the activity induced by the Govern
I ment coal and oil leasing bills, extra
i; work on the Government railroad
and the reports of rich gold strikes
in the Interior. The Southwestern
1 ’ Alaska travel is steady and is con
fined mostly to residents of the ter
ritory, returning home from vaca
tions and business trips. Although
1 !
I the fishing business in Southwest
j ern Alaska is far below normal,
j wood pulp and other new projects
i are keeping the travel up to its
, average. Among those on the Ala
meda were 125 men for Seward to
work on the Government railroad.
1J This was the fourth shipment of men
this year by the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission from Seattle.
Great activity is being evidenced
in the Alaskan oil prospects, all
along the Western coast, from Ad
miralty Island, near Juneau, as far
West as Cold Bay. Construction
work on at least half a dozen pro
jects is expected to be under way
by June 1.
With copper leading in value, ex
ports from Alaska for the month
of March amounted to $902,635.
Shipments of fish, including canned
salmon, amounted to $175,943, and
copper shipments were valued at
$654,220.
Mining is reported to be reviving
in various districts of Alaska, in
i
j eluding the Ophir-Tacotna, Kusko
, kwim, Kantishna, Cache Creek and
Williow Creek districts. Three gold
dredges are being shipped into the
Ophir district by the Union Con
j struction Company, two of which
'will be installed in time for opera
tion this season.
i _
A Fordson tractor has been added
to the equipment of the Parker
farm at Strawberry Point, near (
Juneau. This is one of the first
tractors to be used in that district.;
An attempt is to be made for the
first time to raise spring wheat on
the Parker farm, from seeds ship
ped from .the Governmenlt Experi
ment station, near Fairbanks.
