BANKING IS OUR BUSINESS
The sign “BANK” does not always make a bank and is often
misleading. It requires time, energy, close attention to bus

claim, without blushing, all the essentials necessary to make
our business that of banking, and tender our patrons a ser

BERTHA BRINGS
NO MAIL MAHER
#
The Alaska Coast company’s steamer
Bertha, which reached Seward from
Seattle yesterday, brought no mail.
This is due to a refusal of the postal
department to deliver mail matter to
the steamer at Seattle, the Bertha
having no contract with the govern
ment for carrying mails. Heretofore
the Bertha has been carrying mail to
the various Alaskan ports without re
muneration and the courtesy has been
much Appreciated by the public gen
erally.
To cap the climax, a letter has been
issued by the department to be for
warded to the postmasters at the vari
ous ports of call, notifying them that
in the future the Bertha will take no
mail either to or from Alaska ports.
The reasons tar this action are not
given.
This latest proceeding on the part of
the postal aurhorities is about the
limit. At best, the entire mail service
accorded Alaska, is rotten enough, God
knows, and now some pin-headed olli
cials, clothed with a little temporary
authority, seek to further curtail it.
Mail matter should »be sent on every
steamer saili.ng to or departing from
Alaskan ports. The public service de
mands it, the people have a right to
expect it._
The parties who took the ladder
from the Board of Trade building are
requested to return it immediately.

dends and sure pay.”
