SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.. Oct.. 18
Liberty Bond investors of the
't welfth Federal Reserve District fold
ing approximately $67,000,000 worth
of 4 percent Temporary Bonds are
suffering an approximate annual loss
nf $167,000 because they have not pre
sented their Temporary Bonds for con
version into four and one quarter Per
manent Bonds Governor John U. Calk
ins. of the Federal Reserve Bank of
San Francisco, estimated today. Kvery
effort. Gov. Calkins pointed out, has
been made to infonn investors of their
interest in the matter.
Local banks throughout the 1-th
Federal Reserve District who handle
the exchange operations for individual
investors free of charge have spent
thousands of dollars yi advertising to
spur their clients to* exchange then
Temporal*}* Bonds for the Permanent
Bonds carrying a higher rate of inter
est. Despite their efforts and the fadt
that the Secretary of the Treasury re
serves the right to terminate the priv
ilege of converting the four percent
Bonds on six month’s public totice,
£67.000,000 worth of securities remain
unexchanged in this District.
Although the conveision privilege
has not been withdrawn by the Secre
tary of the Treasury as yet, and six
month's public notice of such with
drawal will be given before the priv
ilege is terminated, to secure the bene
fit of four and a quarter per cent from
November 15, 1920, holders of four
per cent Second iioan Bonds must pre
sent them to any bank for conversion
in order that the bank in turn may
forward the bonds to reach the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of San Francisco
* on or before November 14, 1920. Foiq;
per cent Second Loan Bonds received
by the Federal Resei*ve Bank of San
Francisco November 15, 1920, or on Or
before May 14, 1921, will be converted
but the increased effective until May
15, 1921.
To secure the Dcneiit oi lour ana a
quarter per cent from December 15,
1920, holder of four per. cent First
Loan Bonds must present them to a
bank for conversion in order that the
bank may forward them to reach the
Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran
cisco, December W, 1920, or on or be
fore June 14, 1921, will be converted,
but the increased interest rate of one
i
quarter of one per cent will not be

ALASKA DAY
- Among tlie days designated as holi
days by the Territorial Legislature is
the 18th of October, commonly called
Alaska day.
On March 30, 1867, the treaty con
cerning the cession of the Russian
possessions in North America was con
i
eluded by William H. Seward, Secre- j
tary of State; and His Majesty the
Emperor of all the Russians, the Privy
Counsellor Edouaid de Stieckl, his en
voy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni
potentiary to the United States.
This treaty was ratified by the
4
United States, May 28. 1867. On June
20, 1867, indications were exchanged
and the same were pioclaimed by the
United States.
On October 18. 186?, General L. H.
Rousseau. United States Army, form
• I
ally accepted Alaska from Russia, and
occupied Sitka with a millitary force.
The Stars and Stripes were raised at
this time as a symbol of occupation.
This furnishes the basis for the ac
tion i of the Territorial Legislature in
designating the 18th day of October as
a legal holiday iu the Territory ol
Alaska.
Directions issuing from the office
of the Commissioner of Education at
Juneau, Alaska, are to the effect that
this day, together \\ith#some other hol
iday- m tile Territory, shall be observ
ed L>j appropriate exercises in the pub
ur >choois. These directions were to
day i olio#cd out by the pupils and
teaJn-rs of the different grades in the
Seward schools*

SUNDAY IN SKWAKD

Yesteiday was another ideal fall
\
day. The town was depopulated.
• 'X.
Those who did not go out to Jdie
lake in scaick of ducks and geese and
ptarmigan, dug up their ice skates
and hiked to the little pond north of
town and skated. The frozen pool was
crowded with a bunch of jolly people
• •*
who were bent upon having a good
time. The movie show in the evening
was cro#dcd and the sKow was good.
Father Markham was here and held
two masses in ^he Catholic Church.
The Reverand Caiter preached a good
sermon to an interested congregation.
In the evening it rained ’a little and
snowed a little and froze a little. Dan
Su^erlanr! came to town again (on a
%
lantern slifjp at the Liberty Theatre).
Sylvia sold ice cream and ice cr^am
cones. The wind was peaceful and the
tide came in and w’ent out as per usu
al. Yesterday was an ideal fall day.

Heard a fellow last night pitusing
another poor fellow who had cashed in
his checks and this same'fellow who
was praising the departed one never
spoke two words of cheer to the de
parted one while'he was alive. Read
the following 'words and then act ac
cordingly?

When I cash in, and this poor race is'
run;
My ohores#perfoi*med, and all my er
rands done, ‘ j
Perhaps some folks who mock my ef
forts here
Will weeping, bend above my lowly
oier- ,
And bring large garlands worth three
oucks a throw’,
And paw the ground in ecstasy of
woe —
And friends will wear crepe knots on
their tiles ,
While l 100k down (or up) a million
miles, N
And wonder why those people never
knew,
How square l was before my spirit
flew.
When l cash in, 1 shall not care a
yen,
Kor ail the praise that’s heaped upon
»ne then,
oeivne and silent in my narrow box,
i shall not heed the praises or the.
knocks, ,
And all the pomp and all the^vain dis
play
Will be just fuss and feathers thrown
away,
50, tell me now, while I am on the
earth,
four estimate of what my friendships’
Worth,
Oh, tell me what a loyal chap I am,
And 1‘iil me full of taffy and of jam,
Spread it tfood, like honey’s spread on
bread,
Ooat wait to shoot the bunk when 1
am dead.

For the past'six weeks has been
[ .deal. Barring onb or two hours when
;t rained and one or two more when
the wind blew, we have had bright
«unny weather. Today is a perfect
oampie of fall weather and if it con
.tnues to be like this tomorrow Sew
ird will be depopulated ’cause every
body who can will take to the woods.

BANKS CLOSED TODAY
Owing to today being Alaska* Day
both banks of Seward will be closed.

The little pond up north of town
was crowded with a happy bunch of
people Sunday afternoon. It threaten

chance. Ice dkating is one of THE

Paper mills ^ro scattered over the
