If You Succeed—
YOUR SUCCESS is cumulative. You cannot progress
alone in business and every forward step of yours carries
along other people on the same road. In this way, your
city becomes prosperous and great. In exact ratio to
your success or failure your city succeeds or fails.

THAT’S WHY WE, as bankers, desire to see you succeed.
That's why we make a point of rendering service to de

Alaska Railroad Faces
Heavy Yearly Deficit
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 24.—
The expenditure of more than $11,
000,000 will be needed to complete
The government-owned Alaska Rail
road, in the belief of Noel W. Smith,
its general manager. For the next
few years, Mr. Smith expects in ad
dition an annual loss of about $1,
500,000 in operating expense.
The construction program contem
plates spending $8,955,S61 on road
way, track and bridges. A minimum
of four years will be required for
completion of this, although six years
is recommended. Buildings for em
ployes will cost $202,000 and will be
completed as soon as practicable.
The estimated cost of a tunnel be
tween Tunnel station and Hunter is
$1,280,000, and will take about two
years to complete.
Mr. Smith believes the only two
possibilities of more than a slow,
gradual growth in the traffic lie in
the possible development of gold min
ing in the Fairbanks district, or coal
mining.
A mixed train leaves Anchorage to
day with passengers and mail for
Seward. It will reach here about
8:00 o’clock tonight.
FOUND—Bunch of keys, inquire at
the Gateway office.
Parents Found Negligent
In Duties Toward Children
BERKELEY, April 24.—Professor
C. D. Mead, of the department of
education in the University of Cali
fornia said recently that the parents
of today were shifting their respon
sibilities to the already overburdened
shoulders of the teachers. “They
are expecting too much of the school
teachers,” he asserted. “They now
demand that the teachers give es
thetic and moral as well as mental
(training. They have shifted the bur
dens from the home to the class room
and expect perfect results.”
Parents also, Professor Mead con
tinued, say their children cannot
read, write or spell as well as they
could. He maintained that present
day students were far ahead of their
parents or grandparents at the same
age. He pointed out that some tests
given in Boston in 1850 were repeat
1 ed recently and in practically all in
stances the modern children came out
better.
“What we need, instead of com
plaints, is some whole-hearted sup
port and training at home and more
of the ‘woodshed’ spirit among the
parents.”
If there is virtue in propaganda,
why doesn’t Government teach us in
some subtle way to pay taxes with
enthusiasm. .

Red carries a wallop in either mitt
taught him when boxing on the Pa
cific coast The winner of this latter

special effort to entertain Seward ex

would be to build our ships long
enough to extend past the three mile
limit while tied up to the dock.
The Alaska Weekly, which claims
to represent Alaska, and is published
in Seattle, says Claude Shea, game
warden, has been appointed special
prohibition officer.
