Suppose a banker would agree to
place $2,000 to the credit of a
man’s family, issued a pass book to
the family and agreed to let them
check out the full amount if the
man died at any time during the
' next twenty years, provided he
I would deposit in the bank $100
] every year; with the further guaran
• tee that should the man live to the
expiration of the period, the banket
would allow HIM to check out the
money, and, in addition thereto, al
low him the interest earned on this
class of deposits. Wouldn’t that be
a pretty good proposition? It would,
but no banker could safely make
the offer—yet, that is in effect the
offer the New York Life Insurance
Company makes. See R. S. McDon
ald, local agent.

'TO EQUIP NEW COLLEGE
The Fourth division was gener
ously treated by the territorial
, legislature, according to Represent
| ative P. J. Rickert, who- arrived
1 from Juneau this week on his way
i
j to his home in Fairbanks. “We
! put through practically everything
! we went after and were fortunate
j in securing an appropriation of
| $41,000 to equip the Agricultural
! College and School of Mines, which
! we should have had two years ago.
Also,” continued Mr. Rickert, “we
secured an appropriation for the
reimbursement of dairymen for the
; loss of cows which were ordered
killed several years ago by a federal
; veterinary.”
Mr. Rickert had charge of the
Agricultural College appropriation
in the house and it was very large
ly due to his quiet and effective
i work that the bill went through
without serious opposition. Of the
total appropriation, $31,000 will be
available this year and the balance
next year.
Another measure which the Fourth
division delegation jjpt over was the
log lien law, which gives protection
to those who furnish logs and wood
to mining operators.
No changes were made in the
Alaska mining law but the legis
lature passed a memorial asking
Congress to amend the law so that
claim owners may pay $100 into
. the road fund in lieu of doing the
usual annual labor, if they desire
to represent their holdings in that
manner.
Another memorial which the legis
lature approved, seeks the estab
lishment of an insane hospital in
Alaska for the care of the torri
; eory’s insane patients who are now
cared for, under contract, in Ore
gon. This measure was strongly
supported by Mr. Rickert and it is
said to have been due to his act
ivities on the floor of the house
that it went through.
Another measure which received
the support of the Fourth division
delegation, and which vas pproved
by the legislature, increases the
amount which schools in incorporat
ed towns may receive from the
territory.
There was considerable agitation
during the session for the removal
of the territorial capital from
Juneau and Mr. Rickert is confident
that either Seward or Anchorage
will get the plum, the selection de
pending upon which of the two
towns conducts the more active
campaign.
Mr. Riekert likes the looks of
both Seward and Anchorage, but
says that Anchorage is the “liver”
of the two places at present, with
a splendid townsite and much act
ivity in a business way.
Mr. Riekert met a man on the
coast who came North to investi
gate agricultural conditions with a
view to colonization. He is supposed
to be in the Matanuska district at
present, looking over conditions in
that section, but it was also his in
tention to visit the Tanana valley.
Mr. Riekert, who is the daddy
farmer of the Fairbanks district,
advised the stranger to come In
side, assuring him that he could
place at least 500 settlers without
risk of injury to market conditions.
Mr. Riekert, who is an applicant
for appointment as United States
marshal of the Fourth division, was
unable to throw any light on thc
political situation. He expressed the
belief, however, that he had an
equal chance with ‘he rest of the
aspirants, and a shade the best of
most of them. There are a number
of senators and representatives and
others looking after his interests
at Washington.
Mr. Riekert, Representative H.
H. Ross and Senator E. B. Collins
made the trip from Juneau to Sew
ard on the steamer Latouche, ar
riving at the Gateway City just in
time to catch the train for Anchor
age. Messrs Rickert and Ross came
straight through but Senator Col
lins stopped off at Anchorage and
will be along later. Senator Hess
went to Seattle after the session
! was concluded, and will come Inside
on one of the first boats down the
Yukon. Mrs. Hess, who accompanied
the senator to Juneau, left the cap
ital for Seattle in advance of the
conclusion of the session. Repre
sentative Theo. Kettleson also will
return to Interior by way of the
river. He had business which de
tained him at the capital after the
other members of the legislature
had left for their homes.
HYDRAULIC OPERATIONS ON
MOOSE CREEK START SOON
Dr. J. A. Sutherland, C. N. Christ
! ensen and a number of others ex
; pect to get away for the Kantishna
I this evening on the Wigger power
boat, to begin active preparations
for hydraulic operations which will
! be initiated on Moose creek. Dr.
| Sutherland and his associates con
' trol a large area of ground on Moose
^ and two or three other streams
' in that part of the Kantishna dis
trict, including Eureka and Friday
creeks.
j The first work will comprise the
movement of about 40 tons of equip
ment and supplies from the mouth
j of the Tolovana river, up the Kan
' tishna river to Roosevelt and thence
^ over the summer trail to Moose
; creek, where about 20 tons were
landed last fall. It will also be
necessary, before actual mining can
begin, to build about three miles of
ditch and hydraulic rams for the
storage of the water needed for
| the nozzles. Dr. Sutherland is con
1 fident, however, that all this work
| can be done during the early sum
mer and that the water will be
^ ready to turn into the ditch by the
! first of August, if not earlier. He
j is hopeful of making several clean
, ups before the season ends.
The party leaving Nenana this
evening will be met at Tolovana by
Sylvester Howell, who is interested
in the enterprise, and later in the
season Carl Selberg, another mem
1 ber of the company, will join the
1 party.
The company already has several
1 teams in the Kantishna, an'1 another
team will be taken along tonight,
for use in moving the outfit to the
diggings from Roosevelt. The party
will include ten men.
Moose creek is in the heart of
the Kantishna district, close to the
rich Aitken galena mine and the
1 other lode properties which give
promise of largescale development
in the near future.
