HEALTHY BANKING
Contrasting with what has been disclosed in the
States respecting banking and banking conditions, Sew
ard is exceptionally fortunate in the condition of the
Bank of Seward which report w*as published last week.
Analyzing its last financial statement the bank is
not only in an exceptionally healthy condition, but re
fl$efs the financial.strength of the city in its large vol
v ume of individual and savings deposits. This item con
tains 8330,528.
It is to the credit of Alaskan banks in general that
each withstood the shock of national financial break
down and emerged in no wise affected save in increasing
their strength.
This condition is due to the conservative management
of the banks and the total absence of speculative deal
ings or their encouragement.

Gateway' .subscriber at Tanana
says:
“Summer is sure on the way,
with plants, lettuce, cabbages, to
matoes and other thingamumbobs’
sprouting all over the place in
boxes, in spite o f the fact the old
Yukon lies grim in the grip of
winter with a coat of ice over four
feet in thickness. The ground is
practically bare of snow, and the
only dog trail now is on the ice
of the river.
“We are expecting an early j
spring because all the talk is j
about planting, plowing and spad
ing gardens, with just enough in
terest in beer to keep that topic
alive because we haven’t got any.”
