What Is Your Idea
Of a Bank?
The following is our idea of what a
bank ought to be and what this bank's
fixed policy is.
We cater to no one class. We serve no
special interest. We seek only the legiti
mate banking business of all classes of
honest men in this community.
We are neither so big as to despise or
discourage small accounts, nor so small
as to accept undesirable business just
for the sake of more accounts.
If you believe that this kind of a bank
aught to be your bank, come in and talk
it over.
You will receive every courtesy and
accommodation consistent with sound
banking.

ALASKA MAIL
MAY BE SENT
BY A NEW WAY
_
Mail by freight or express and no
mail clerks on Alaska steamers, is the
problem now facing Alaska. Several
days ago the Gateway printed an As
sociated Press dispatch that the Post
Office Department had rejected all
bids of the Alaska Steamship Comp
anies for carring mail to Alaska.
According to a well known trans
, portation man the P.O. department ts
' now considering handling all Alaska
mail by freight or express and elimi
' noting mail clerks.
Just what will become of this issue
is not known herp but it is safe to say
(hat if such a proposition is put thru
thorp will bp a howl go up that will ho
heard direct by the officials at Wash
ington. Handling by freight or ex
press will mean a great delay and a
further delay at all post offices in
getting the mail on account of it’s nor
being sorted by mail clerks aboard
steamers.
