irised at the growth and ap
•arent stability of Ketchikan.
“1 am enough of an Alaskan”
ie said “to make allowances
vhen I hear a man telling of
lie growth and prosperity of
lis town, as everybody from
vetchikan does, and find out
hat the banker in me has dis
counted what I have heard of
vetchikan too much, for its
appearance is a pleasant sur
mise. Who would have ex
pected to see such buildings
is those occupied by the Ton
ass Trading company, Heck
man's there across the street,
his building the bank occupies
>nd the big cold storage block
•n the other end of Front St?
They all look good.
“What brought me north?
Well, I have travelled pretty
nuch the world over of
ate, but haveult been nortlie
'’or over six years, so conclud
'd that T would make the trip
ip with Mr. Larson the Miners
x Merchants auditor investigate
he condition of some

• m interested in’ this region
vith the view of opening up
his coming season; look your
own and bank over, and know j
ibout you at first hand.
The bank directorate recog- |
lizing the importance of Ketch
kan as a business center has !
lecided to pay in the balance
if the capital stock thus, in- i
■reasing t he bank’s working !
•apital to $50,000. and also ,
idd the accumulated surplus i

ng this because we have con
idence in the business future *
• f Ketchikan and intend to see
lo it that the bank is in a po- j
■ution to take care of what- 1
ever business may be presen
ted.”
Mr. Chilberg in addition to

he president of the Scandinav
an-American at Tacoma, and
he Miners ec Merchants at
Nome, the combined assets of
which aggregate sixteen mil- ;

He is also the head of the

OUTLINE OF PRESIDENT
WILSON’S MESSAGE
Washington, Dec. 3—For the
fourth time since his inaugner
ation President Wilson person
ally read his message to a
joint assembly of both houses
of Congress yesterday after
noon. The message itself
was short and to the point. It
dealt with the Mexican situa
tion, asking the American
people to wait with patience
until Huerta had completed
his own undoing, which would
occur with in a short time. He
asked for legislation which
would result in the direct pri
mary election of the candidat
es for the presidency of the
United States, and suggested
that the political conventions,
in reality but ratification meet
ings should consist of the nom
inees for Congress. He also
demanded the passage of the
currency bill and that anti
trust legislation be taken up.
The reater part of the mes
sage delt with the Alaskan ■
railroad situation, saying that
the matter of constructing rail
roads in the great northern
territory was a double trust to
the government of the United
States affecting as it does its
political and material develop
ment. The people of Alaska j
should be given full territorial
government, and the govern- ,
ment should not only build and j
operate the railroads but j
should control the port term- 1
inals in the interest of all who
wish to use them, but the first i
thing is the construction of
the railroads. He concluded
by stating that from time to
time he intended to speak on j
the further development of l
Alaska.
