konest men in this community.
We are neither so big as to despise or
discourage small accounts nor so smatl
as to accept undesirable business just
for the sake of more accounts.
If you believe that this kind of a bank
•ught to be your bank, come in and talk
it over.
You will receive every courtesy and
aeoommodation consistent with sound
banking.

HEAVY RAINFALL
;CAU$E$ STREAMS
I TG RiSE QUICKLY
The exceptional heavy rain storm
which hit this section of Kenai Pen
insula Saturday afternoon am! even
ing, caused all rivers ami creeks to
suddenly rise ami for a time the as
pect was serious. Out along the Alas
ka I'oad Commissions highways the
Mater arose so fast that in many plac
es the water was level with the roads
and flowing over in other places.
Locally, Lowell Creek started on a
small sized rampage and today the
channel which was dredged a couple
of weeks ago is level with the sur
rounding ground, the sides having
been washed down into the bay.
Karly Saturday evening, Lowell
Creek began rising as the volume of
rain in the mountains began coming
down to the lower levels. At midnight'
the water at First Avenue began cut
ting a new channel towards the north.
The wing dam pilling caught the
debris and kept the water in the new
and old channel within bounds to a
certain degree. More rain fell about
10 o’clock and the water became mud
dy. The water going through <the
mains of the electric company clogg- 1
O' I them ami ott went the power. Low- »
>1 creek by this time had risen sev- .
eral feet. More rain then came down.
The electric power was again turned
on but at 2 o’clock Sunday morning .
the old creek, then was a muddy rush
big stream.-began playing havoc and
shortly afterw irds the electric power
went off for good and the word was
passed around that the glacier stream
needed attention.
Men were called and began patroll
ng. Shortly alter daybreak debris be
gan collecting at the railroad track
near the hay and the big derrick and
a special crew of men were hustled
nut and two bents lifted out in order
bat a jam would not form. Water be
,an cutting its way around t ho el ee
rie light plant and more railroad men
cere called and those were soon au
gumented by citizens; all working at
arious places along the stream *to
;ecp it within bounds and within pro
ler limits. Heavy planking was haul
'd and nailed to the piling making a
vingdam. v
The approach to the Third avenue
bridge on the north side went out
tbout 7:20 o’clock yesterday morning
hen the-Third avenue water main
>roko. Attention was paid to the Four
tli avenue bridge and planking nai'ed
o the piling keeping the water from
utiug away the dirt aproaches to the
bridge.
All day men worked along the
tream and gangs were kept on the
abroad tracks keeping the stream
rom suddenly changing and also digg
ing away james which formed.
'I he rain stopped its intermittent
ailing about noon "and the water bt
;an subsiding but remained a rushing ,
forcing stream. I
Last night at 8:30 o clock a section
•rew was brought in from Mile 17 to
•elieve the crew in the railroad yards
tnd the men kept at work until morn
ng watching the stream.
Aside from the washing away of
he north side plank approach to the
Third Avenue bridge, breaking the
catei* main, obliterating the dredged
hannel and flooding the electric light
plant to some extent, little other dajn
tge v done. The creek bed was low -
