Dr. J. H. Romig, who re
jcently returned from the
states left this morning for
Anchorage to take charge of
the A. E. C. Hospital at that
place for a period of seven
weeks of two months. Dr. J.
B. Beeson, regular physician
in charge of the Anchorage
hospital left this morning
for lditarod on professions
business connected with tin
i sickness of S. Baker, the wel.
| Known lditarod banker. A
report was received a fev
days ago from lditarod tell
ing of the critical condition
of Mr. Baker and the neces
sity for immediate medica
attention. Heart trouble am
other complications are sail
os? the cause of his illnes
There is no u'uctor at ldita
rod. There is none neare.
than Anchorage and the dis
tance between Anchorag.
and lditarod is 385 nuies. in
Beeson who left this morn
ing will go to Wassila anc
from that point will musl.
over the Rainy Pass trai.
with a dog team.'The jour
ney is a difficult one and a.
,ms time of the season wi.
necessitate die breaking oi
trail pracdcaly the entire dif.
tance. A competent guide
who knows every foot of tin
trail will accompany the'doc
tor. Two other parties are rt
ported leaving Wassilla for
the Kuskokwim country vi<.
the Rainy Pass trail. If this
report is correct and they
leave at the same time as the
doctor the breaking of trail
will be less difficult. The sick
man is a prominent figure in
die lditarod community am,
is the adinistrator of the es
cate of J. .E Riley, the min
ing man who was murderer
at that place about two year,
ago. Dr. Romig will look af

The United States Postal
Savings System is today
.narking its tenth anniver
sary by issuing a new postal
savings card which will be
used instead of the old ten
,;ent postal card which has
been in use since the estab
lishment of the System on
January 1,1911.
The new card will be fur
ished free of cost and whe./
ten 10-cent postal savings
stamps have been affixed to
it it will be accepted at any
depositary §f fice as a depos
t of $1 or it may be redeem
3d in cash. The outstanding
3ature of the new card is
che translation into twenty
four foreign languages of
he statement that the faith
jf the United States is sol
emnly pledged to payment
>f deposits made with the
Syoiein. ,
'flu* i orvice was first, es
tablished at forty-eight pa 11
tffices, one in each state, on
anuary 1, 1911, and altho
tampered by many restrict
ons as to the rate of interest1
and maximum amount al-;
owed on deposits, it has j
,hown remarkable progress. •
Postmaster General Burle- j
ion announces that the am-;
junt on deposit today is a j
great sum covering $162,000-!
jO0 and its depositors have |
.ong since passed the half -!
million mark. - j
As predicted by its propon j
ants in the days before tho
passage of the original Pos
tal Savings Act, our foreig >
oora citizens have been the
mncipal patrons of the Sys
tem. Taught in their native
countries to look to the Gov
amment to safeguard theii
savings,-they ^naturally ex
)ect this government to do
ikewise. In thepresent floo<’
;ide of immigration, each
lewcomer as he leaves the
port of .entry, receives a leaf;
et in his own language out-1
f*
lining method . of operation
of the United States Postal
Savings System and urging
upon him the desirability of
continuing inythis country
the practice of thrift which
has been so necessary in the
country he hag just left The
Service is, therefore-one o?
most potent factors in futh
ering the Americanization
movement
Many banks, usualyy sav
ings banks, prior to the es
tablishment of the System
lit that the Postal Savings
System would be a strong
competitor but experience
has shown that the Postal
Savings System draws its pa
tron%.not from depositors in
established and well-conduct
ed banks but from among
those who otherwise would
not place their money in any
banking institution what
ever.
The original act* of Con
gress restricted the total
amount to be placed on de
osit at $500 and the deposit
of this amount was limite.
to not more 'than $100 per
monh. Later the monthly li
mitation was entirely remov
ed and the maximum amou-i
increased first to $1,000 anc.
then to the present amount,
$2,500. Postmaster. General
Burleson, in the annual re
port just submitted to Con
gress recommends incrfeas
ing the rate of interest to be
paid depositors and action
by Congress will, no doubt,
be taken along these
vith the near future. The
amount on deposit in the
Seward Postoffice on this
date is $15,550.00.
