TOM M’KINNON RETURNS
TO LOOK AFTER INTERESTS
All that has been said about bad
conditions in the States is true, ac
cording to Tom McKinnon, promi
nent Interior mining man, who has
just returned from a several months
stay in California and other Pacific
coast States. Mr. McKinnon says he
doesn’t know all that has been said
by returning Alaskans, but he is sure
they have not exaggerated. In fact,
he says, it would be difficult to
paint conditions blacker than they
really are.
Los Angeles appeared to be the
least unsettled city visited by him,
and he attributes that fortunate
condition of affairs to the fact that
Los Angeles is supported largely
by wealthy visitors from the East
and other sections of the country.
He found San Francisco rather un
settled and Seattle very much so,
and he was told by men who should
know, that there is no hope of im
mediate improvement. Things may
get back to normal in a year, but
it is the opinion of many that it will
take longer than a year.
When informed yesterday of the
failure of the Seattle Scandinavian
American Bank, Mr. McKinnon did
not evidence surprise. He explained
that he had heard rumors, before'
he started North, to the effect that
the bank was having difficulty in
weathering the financial storm but
he did not know how serious was the
situation. He heard it reported that
the bank had considerable money
tied up in the fisheries and had
found it impossible to turn the se-,
curities into cash. Mr. McKinnon
did not have any money on deposit
in the bank at the time of the fail
ure, having had occasion to use
the cash some time previous to the
crash. i
Conditions are such, Mr. McKin
non says, that other failures pro
bably will occur. The failure of the
Tacoma Scandinavian American in
stitution earlier in the year, caused
heavy withdrawals of deposits from
the Seattle bank of the same name,
notwithstanding the fact that it
was claimed at the time that the
two banks had no connection. And
it is reasonable to believe the col
lapse of the big Seattle bank with
be followed by heavy runs on the
other banks of the Spirit City. It
is a well known fact, however, that
the bankers of the country have
anticipated the present financial sit
uation, by calling in loans and re
fusing to extend credits except on
the very best of securities, and most
of them are in sound condition now
in consequence.
Mr. McKinnon came down from
Fairbanks yesterday and will return
to the upper town this afternoon.
He will be back later, on his way
to the Tolovana district, where he
has numerous interests, and it is pos
sible that he will make a trip into
the Kuskokwim before he returns
to the States. Mrs. McKinnon is
spending the summer at Long Beach,
Cal, and will not come North this
year.
MASONS HERE FROM COAST
TO CONFER HIGH DEGREES
Among the arrivals on the steam
er Yukon were H. Tripp, of Juneau,
and H. E. Garlock, who made the
trip to the Interior to initiate
classes into the mysteries of the
higher degrees of Masonry, including
the Scottish Rite.
The two gentlemen went to Fair
banks yesterday, where there is a
class of Masons in waiting, and
later they will return to Xenana
, to confer the degrees on local Ma
sons. It is possible they will also
14
sit Healy.
Dr. J. R. Bowen, who acquired
the Gilcher motorboat Pronto some
time ago and installel a powerful
engine in it, announces that he is
: now ready to take on all comers
for a race during the celebration.,
He is very anxious to arrange a
match with the speedy Anderton
launch.
