Where are they?
Can you tell right at this moment where to find your
bonds, stock certificates, insurance policies and other valu
able papers, often needed in a hurry? . Perhaps they are <
in your desk drawer—or they may be in your office safe
—or possibly lying carelessly around the house.
If your valuable papers are in any of these places there
is a risk of loss as well as uncertainty of quickly finding
them when needed. But if they are in one of our safety
deposit boxes you are aways certain of their location.
They are accessible to you instantly, and to you alone and
they are safe from fire, theft and carelessness.

POSSE FINDS CACHES
OF STOLEN PROPERTY;
SOME IS IDENTIFIED
Two caches of stuff, including
many articles reported to the Fed
eral authorities as stolen from var
ious cabins near Juneau, were discov
ered by the posse headed by Deputy
Marshal W. R. Gaster which re
turned to Juneau recently from
Youngs Bay and Hawk Inlet. It had
been sent out last week to watch
for Willie Watson and Charley John
son and &fter their arrest was in
structed to seach for caches they
said had been made by them.
Deputy Garster reported a wide
variety of articles recovered, suf
ficient in fact to start a second
hand good store. Clothing, food,
novelties, guns, a phonograph and
records .stationery, and many other
things were listed as recovered.
Much of the property had been
identified today by owners of ca
bins from which it was taken.
Caches were found at both ends
of the portage, the Youngs Bay side
and at the upper end of Hawk Inlet.
It was believed that at least one
other cache made by the Indians
has not been discoveed as some of
the articles reported missing, in
cluding a number of guns, has not
been found.
The cabin in which the two In
dians had holed up after the Hawk
Inlet robbery, said membes of the
posse, had been fixed up by Wat
son and Johnson to stand a seige
They had barricaded the windows
and doors and either cut or shot
loopholes in the barricades through
which they could fire on any pur
suit that discovered them in the
cabin.
TAX DISPUTES BE
SETTLED ON COAST
_
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 2.—
Pacific Coast taxpayers who have
matters in dispute with the Treasury
department apparently are not aware
that if they so desire they may have
their cases aadjudicated at home in
stead of bringing them to Washing
ton, according to a statement made
recently by Charles D. Hamel, chair
man of the United States board of
tax appeals.
Washington representatives of Pa
cific Coast chambers of commerce
were informed that, out of eighty
cases which have been filed from
the Pacific Northwest since the
board was created last June, only
twenty have requested that hearings
be held elsewhere than at the na
tional capital. In these twenty
cases the amount involved is not
sufficient to warrant a division of
the board making a trip to the Pa
cific coast to adjudicate them.
Up until the passage of the last
revenue act, disputes between tax
payers and the Treasury department
were settled at Washington. The act
created a board of tax appeals to
consist of not more than twenty
seven members, the exact number to
be determined at the discretion of
the president.
President Coolidge thought twelve
men would be enough to carry on
the job. These twelve are divided
into four divisions of three each,
and these divisions have authority
to travel anywhere in the United
States where the amounts in dispute
are sufficient to justify the ex
pense.
“We would be quite willing to
send a division to the Pacific Coast
cities," said a member of the board,
“but the amount involved in the ap
plication is at present not sufficient
to justify it. The adjudication of
these cases on the Pacific Coast
would be an advantage to the tax
payers in that they would learn a
good deal about the proper methods
of procedure in filing returns and
claims for refunds.
“But it fhe taxpayers prefer to
bear the expense of sending their
attorneys and expert accountants
to Washington there is of course no
objection to the continuance of this
practice.”

URBACH’S
“If Men Wear It We Have It"
SCANDINAVIANS ASSAIL
PROHIBITION WORKERS
COPENHAGEN, Dec. 2.—Delegates
from various Danish, Norwegian,
Swedish and Finnish anti-prohibition
organizations, most scientists and
other professional men met recently
in Copenhagen to discuss measures
to discuss the “pernicious activities
of American and native prohibition
agents and provacateurs now work
ing busily for foisting upon Europe
the humiliating bondage of the hypo
critical American prohibition law.”
At a public meeting Major Hulten
of Helsingfors declared that Finland
was now the only absolutely dry na
tion in Europe, Norway and Iceland
being but semidry, their, governments
having been compelled to allow the
importation of certain wines liike port
and madeira to avoid having their
chief article of export, dried codfish,
barred from the wine producing dis
tricts around the Mediterranean.
Prior to going dry Finland had, the
Major asserted, a lower consumption
of alcoholic beverages than any oth
er country in Europe. After the in.
troduction of prohibition the picture
changed, he declared, Finland now
being steeped in liquors. Enormous
amounts of liquors, good and bad, are
now smuggled into the country, it be
ing impossible for the government
to curb the rum traffic owing to Fin
land’s enormous stretches of coast
line, and declared in conclusion that
Finnish hospitals are crowded with
victims of drink.
Thorfinn Michaelson, a Norwegian
advocate, said that even the more
moderate form of prohibition now es
tablished in Norway had had similar
results.
SMOKER AT KENNECOTT
STAGED BY ELKS' LODGE
KENNECOTT, Alaska, Nov. 301—
Under direction of the Elks lodge ^
and with the co-operation of the camp
at large, a most successful smoker
was staged in Kennecott, the pro
ceeds to go for the children’s Christ
mas entertainment. The main feat
ures of the evening were a boxing
match and Badger fight. The box
ers were John Klotsky and Alex Eg
ner. Alex received the decision.
The star of. the badger fight was
J. L. McDonald, local agent. The Cop
per river badger is noted for its fierce
disposition and the promoters of the
fight were fortunate in securing a
small animal, grey with white spots.
Mr. McDonald showed great bravery
ascending the safety ladder only half
way.
