What is a
BANK?
A modern bank is more than a deposi
tory for money; more than a place upon
which to Issue checks.
A modern bank is an institution of help
fulness to its depositors and clients. It
is interested in seeing that they are
prosperous and successful in the;r fi
nancial ventures.
Depositors who let us help them with
advice born of long experience, can tes
tify to the value of our service.

HIT II DOCK Bill
The dock committee of the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce which has
been working strenuously for several
weeks compiling statistics to show the
railway that it is to its interest to
construct a dock and dredge the har
bor at that place have completed their
labors and turned in their report. .
It showed by the report that it will
require practically $20,000 to extend
the present dock 50 feet, which will
insure a depth of 19 to 26 feet of wa
ter at mean low tide.
The committee reports that the An
chorage dock is the best paying prop
osition the railway has at the present
time, some 30,000 tons of freight be
ing hauled the past year, the gross
revenue amounting to $50,000, with op
erating expenses $30,000, showing a
net profit of $20,000. This includes
the revenues from 7,000 tons ot out
going freight. The chamber claims
that Anchorage gets its freight at a
rate of $1.35 per cwt by way of Sew
ard and 75 cents by water. Manager
Landis has advised Anchorage busi
ness men the railway will meet all wa
ter rates via railway, but the Cham
ber says this is impossible.
The development of the coal fields
and interior Alaska are directly de
pendent on the dock being maintained
at Anchorage, as coal shipped by Sew
ard, it is claimed would cost $1.50 per
ton more.
The Chamber states that in case
the railway will not consider repair
ing and extending the dock that the
municipality will lease and operate it,
if suitable terms can be arranged.
Manager Landis holds that all ton
nage carried by steamer decreases
the revenues of the railroad and that
it is prepared to haul cheaper from
Seward than it can be hauled by wa
ter.

STILL ACTIVE
(Anchorage Daily Alaskan)
Charles McDowell returned to Daw
son recently from a trip to Miller and
Glacier Creeks. He reached Miller
creek just in time to share in Christ
mas festivities there, and was invited
to join in the good cheer prevailing.
After an elaborate dinner a whist
tournament was arranged between the
people of upper and lower Miller, in
which William Barry and Pat Owens,
the upper Miller Creek champions,
were the winners.
In speaking of the mining activties
on Miller, Mr. Dowell said to a rep
resentative of the Dawson News:
“William Barry and Michael Dulin
have struck good pay on some bench
ground on the upper end of Miller and
are taking out a good dump.
“Collins and Weinberg are working
a crew taking out satisfactory pay,
and another crew of men is engaged
by them in doing prospecting and de
velopment work.
“Pat Owens anti partner, Mr. Gay,
are mining on upper Miller, and also
have satisfactory pay.
“John Paul, who owns a large block
of ground on lower Miller, is making
preparations to work it on a largeer
scale, and is making preparations to
install a hydraulic plant in the spring.
He also contemplates the purchase of
a Holt caterpillar tractor.
“Jakie Debold has a number of
claims on Big Gold, near the mouth of
Glacier, and is taking out fair pay
this winter. He contemplates install
ing a big scraping plant on his prop
erty next summer. Jakie welcomes
all comers to his hospitable home and
his place is called the “Skinner’s Par
adise.” He is a splendid cook, and it is
a pleasure to partake of the good
cheer he provides.
“Mr. Greenburg is prospecting on
Big Gold. He has not struck pay as
yet, but has found encouraging pros
pects.
“John Spradley at the old roadhouse
near Glacier has mined successfully
for several years at that place. He op
erates with a scraping plant and
handles a large quantity of pay dirt
each season.
“Middleton, Bungate and Hunter al
so are operating on Glacier Creek, and
are doing well on their property.
“Fred Hurst, who gained local
fame as a breeder of fine Airdales,
has a wood contract ami employs a
fine string of Airedales to assist in
hauling.
“J. T. E. Bridgewater, accountant
for Collins, Weinberg and Collins, has
iiad great succes swith his radio re
ceiv ng set, having picked up messag
es, music, etc., from thirteen broad
casting stations. The only serious
difficulty he experiences is that his
batteries become drained and he is
forced to send them to Dawson to be
recharged. There seems to be little in
terference in receiving with his set ex
cept from the powerful radio stantions
throuhgout Alaska.”
WATSON OUT OF JUNEAU
The steamship Admiral Watson
cleared from Juneau, northbound yes
terday morning at three o’clock.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Staser of An
chorage arrived in Seward Saturday
night, to meet Marshal Sullivan, and
also to confer with Karl Theile, an
old friend of Mr. Stasers. Anchorage
is reported somewhat quiet at the pre
sent time, and business dull, owing tc
little travel. Mr. Staser reports ob
servance of law in Anchorage consid
erably improved by the recent arrests
for bootlegging.
