C. P. R. REACHING
FOR BUSINESS
Mr. c. E. Rytis, local agent for
the Cans!an Pacific Railway, has
recently re.en appointed agent for a
number of the lines operating across
the Atlantic, and is supplied with
tickets and orders for tickets.
He also has complete tariffs'cov
ering Ta.vs to all points in the
United States and Canada, and is
prepared to sell a person a ticket
to any point desired, or an order
for a ticket from any point to
Ketchikan for those desiring to
have t; • -ds come to them.
This wiii ae a great convenience
to the people of Ketchikan, as it will
enable them to obtain information
regarding rates and routings which
heretofore they could not obtain
here, but were re-.air: i to wait un
til they reached Seattle or othei
points in the States. Under the new.
arranger: :r.t, tickets av be pur

avoiding all confusion* incident „o

same privilege, war will follow.
Carranza wants the privilege o!
sending punitive expeditions on the
American side to hunt up the dis
turbers of peace.
Every official here is agreed that
Villa's action the last few days is
clearly intended to force the Unit
ed States to take a hand since
intervention alone can prevent Car
ranza to rule the country to which
Villa js bitterly opposed.
WASHINGTON, March 13.—Late
this morning, the department of
State announced that Carranza
woa'd be granted permission . to
send troops into the United States
in pursuit of Villa and his gang of
bandits, should this action become
necessary,
GAUDY :>TREET DRESS
CALLED FREE PARADE
Mr. Seymour Rice, manager of the
Grand Optra House of Kansas City
Mo., believes he has solved the mys
tery of the decline of musical com
edy. He says:
"The new sty Ns in women’s dress
I believe, have had a great deal to
do with it," said Mr. Rice. "Now.
just watch some of the women as
they pass up and down the streets;
r,cte the short skirts; observe the
brilliant boots and hose.
"You see, in former days men and
women went to the theatre and saw
girls ir, short skins and high topped
fancy and brilliant shoes, with rad
iant stockings, and the dress was a
novelty.
“People saw things on the stage
that were different. Women saw ex
pensive boots that they wouldn't
think of wearing themselves. They
saw short skirts that they woudn’t
dare- wear. The men, of course, saw
ail these things, too.
“Weil, with this free parade that
you can see on the street any day.
why should folk pay their way into
a theatre to see the same thing and
fewer of them? This show on the
street, is endless and daring.”

INSTRUCTION HAVE BEEN RE
CEIVED VT THE
POSTOFFICE.
FROM APRIL FIRST
May Begin With One Dollar
Privilege Given to
Children.
Instructions have been received
from the post office department
stating tha; the Ketchikan post
office will become! a postal saving
jjank or April 1st, 1916. The local
post office gives out the following
information for the benefit of
those who may be interested:
The postal bank allows anyone to
start an account with any amount
from SI up. Ten cents at a time
may also be saved by purchasing
for a dime a postal saving card to
which is attached a ten cent postal
saving stamp. After nine more
stamps have been added the card
may be turned in at the post office
and a certificate of deposit for §1
is issued. This idea of saving 10c
■ a time has always been a grea
thing for the children wherever a
postal saving bank has been estab
lished. Any child 10 years of
age and over may open an ac
count in his or her own name.
When a deposit is made in the
postal bank, certificates for the
amount are issued. These certi
ficates may be cashed at any time
but are not transferable. They must
be cashed by the person to whom
they are issued. All deposits bear
interest at the rate of 2 per cent.
One hundred dollars is the total
amount which may be deposited by
any one person in one month and
a limit of S500 has been placed as
the total amount which anyone may
have on deposit.
A great many people have ex
pressed an opinion that the postal
savings bank will hurt the local
banking institution but such will
not be the case as has been shown
throughout the States. Instead of
people hoarding their money in de
posit vaults or in a stocking at'
home, people will trust the gov
ernment at 2 per cent. After a j
while they get used to having their
savings out of their actual posses
sion and they then take the money
to the bank where they get 4 per
cent. Instead of working against
the bankers it helps them.
J. R. Heckman Co. announce
that their new spring millinery will
be here on the next boat. Watch
the windows for the display. Don’t

JOE BARONOViCH
TO BRANCH OUT
IS OVERHAULING THE NAHLIN
FOR A SUMMER ON
STICKING RIVER.
Joe Baronovieh, one of the most
enterprising men in the country is
busy overhauling the big river boat,
the “Nahlin” that was used last
summer in the mildcuring of sal
mon, for the purpose of navigating
the Stickine river the coining season.
The boat will be equipped with a
140 h. p. steam engine which will
give her a speed of at least sixteen
knots an hour, and from about the
first of May, she will be used to
carry freight and passengers up
the river where mining will be go
ing on extensively, according to re
ports. While previous experiments:
has proved a failure, Joe believes
that it will be a paying enterprise
this year due to the increased traffic
and the boat used for which the
“Nahlin” is entirely suited.

SHOOTS RAVEN AND FINDS
GOLD.
PRESCITT, Ariz. — Nearly forty
years ago Col. Gerald Hoover, then
stationed with the Third U. S. Cav
alry at Fort Whipple, near Prescott,
went hunting in the Weaver Moun
tains. He shot a raven which fell
on a ledge of rock. When Colonel
Hoover picked up the bird he noticed
that the ledge resembled gold ore he
had seen. Sure enough, samples pan
ned free gold.
For five years Colonel Hoover had
annual assessment work done on the
Raven claim, as he called it, but no
great amount of ore was developed.
He recently returned to Arizona, re
located the claim and began develop
ment, with the result that the Raven
is now a regular producer of gold
and bids fair to make its owner rich.,
