PAPERS TO JOIN FORCES
Owing to the tremendous increase in the cost of print j
. paper and other supplies necessary to the publication oi a ;
daily paper, negotiations were entered into several weeks ;
ago looking to the amalgamation of the Post Publishing !
company with the Seward Gateway Publishing company, j
for the purpose of covering the daily field here with a ;
single publication, and the same in the weekly field.
These negotiations are complete, and the owners of I
the two companies have agreed that the Alaska Evening
Post and the Seward Gateway, shall be published to- j
gether. ,
It is the aim of the new concern to unite all of the in
terests of Seward in a combined movement for the good of
the “terminal city.”
The daily publication will be the Seward Gateway
and the weekly issue will printed under the style of The
Alaska Weekly Post.
The policy of the paper will be broad, and every ef
fort will be put forth for the benefit of Alaska in general
and Seward in particular.
Friends of the Seward Gateway Publishing company
are thanked most sincerely for their strong and enthusi
astic support and every effort will be put forth to warrant
the continuation of this support by the new concern.
BANK RUNS PECULIAR
There is great mystery about a bank run, ami the
flock at Seattle* yesterday will provide much ma
terial for the psychologists.
Runs start without rhyme or reason so far as finance
is concerned.
The very foundation of a successful banking business
makes the banker vulnerable to a run of any length, for
to make a success of the business he has to have the
money in his care out at work. The banker pays from three
to four percent on deposits and loans the money at higher
rates. Actual cash to transact business is kept on hand
which amounts to from 15 to 50 percent of the liabilities
of the bank, depending upon the banker. Of course, some
banks keep more and now and then a bank which does a
verv small busiess will save less. With this situation the
*
banker with 30 percent of his cash on hand would have to
close his doors if 10 percent of his depositors wanted
their money quick. The bank might be perfectly solvent
but the money is out at work and it can't Uncalled in and
shelled out over noght, to suit the clamor of skittish de
positors.
New York has been the scene of some of the most re
markable runs in history, caused by the most trivail oc
currences. The least possible excitement in a bank in a
large city k* liable to cause a run. The capture of a pick
pocket or sneak thief in a bank entailing a struggle, or a
loud argument by some depositor is sufficient. In fact
any occurrence from which the rumor might start that
“there's a run on that bank” is liable to start a run.
To guard against this the banks take every precau
tion, officers have strict orders to let the suspect leave the
bank before arresting him, and the bank officer’s princi
pal effort is to prevent excitement of any kind.
The closing of the Broadway bank at Seattle caused a ,
rur on the Northern Bank and Trust company, which had
known financial relations with the former institution.
This is easily explainable. But the run on the People’s
Savings bank had no cause except fear on the part of the
depositors, regardless of fact. Runs were noted on other
state banks, but the detailed account will probably show
that banks weaker financially than the People's Savings,
which is one of the strong banks of Seattie, escaped with
out the loss of an account.
After the excitement is over and the stress of the
moment is passed it is not an unusual sight to see those
who drew their money out in a hurry, putting it back in j
the same bank. In fact it has been noted many times that
depositors have drawn their money and immediately re
deposited it in the same bank, giving as a reason that they
“just wanted to see if the cash was theie.”
