to the Tacoma smelter.
The diamond drill crew under Pat
Lynch, which has been operating at
Ellamar for several months past, has
stopped work for the season on ac
count of the shortage of water, and
has returned to Juneau. They will
start up again next year.
A number of Indians and Filipinos
who had been indulging freely in
hootch, engaged in a big fight on the
beach at Douglas recently, resulting
in the bunch being gathered in by the
police. They drew fines of from $5 to
$15 each in the magistrate’s court.
The gold output for the Tanana dis
trict for the season of 1916 was $3,
500,000 according to figures compiled
by the First National Bank, the Amer
ican Bank of Alaska and the Wells

This is about $300,000 less than last

neer Packing Co., at Cordova, accoVi
panied by his wife and his brother-in
law, Max Gradi and wife, left recently

death at her home in Aberdeen.
John Shakes, a son of Chief John

at Wrangell, by E. R. Bingham, a

Eric Barquist, a resident of Doug
las, who wagered $500 that Hughes
would be elected and placed the money
in the hands of P. J. Casey of the
First Territorial bank, attempted to
hold up the payment of the wager by
notifying the bank not to pay the
money. The stakeholder paid the bet,
however, as the bank was not inter
ested in the matter, Mr. Casey acting
as stakeholder in his private capacity,
not as an official of the bank.
Miss Adalina Haapakangas, who
came north to Seward recently to wed
one Louis Henz, and who found him
gone on her arrival, came on to An
chorage, where he was reported to be,
only to find him again ahead of her,
having taken a job as mail carrier on
the Knik-Iditarod trail. She received

she has taken a position at a road
house between Kern creek and An
chorage.

Postmaster Scheffler has been noti
fied by the department at Washing
ton to open a postal savings system at
the Cordova postoffice on January 2.
This decision on the part of the post
master general is no doubt the result
of a request made by the local Cham
ber of Commerce last spring, that the
growth and future outlook for the
town justified that body in asking
that a postal savings bank be estab
lished here.
Any person ten years or over may
open a postal savings account in his
own name by depositing one or more
dollars. No person may at the same
time have more than one account
either at the same office or at differ
ent offices. The account of a married
woman is free from any control or
interference by her husband. Post
office employees are forbidden to dis
close to any person except the depos
itor the amount of any deposit.
A person may deposit any numbe
of dollars, and at any time, until thi
balance to his credit amounts to $1,
000, exclusive of accumulated interest
Postal saving deposits are acknowl
edged by postal savings certificate;
which are made out in the name of thi
depositor and serve as receipts. Thesi
certificates are not negotiable o
transferable. If certificates are lost
stolen, or destroyed, new certificate;
may be issued.
A depositor may at any time with
draw all or any part of his postal sav
ings deposit, upon demand, frtfm'-thi
postoffice where the deposits wen
made. Withdrawals may be made ii
person, through arepresentative o;
by mail.
Postal savings certificates bear sim
pie interest at the rate of 2 per cen
a year. Interest begins on the firs;
day of the month following the montl
in which the certificate is issued ant
becomes due and payable at the expir
ation of each full year from the daj
interest begins as long as the princi
pal remains on deposit. No interest
will be paid for a fraction of a year.
Amounts less than $1 may be save*
by purchasing postal savings cards
and postal savings stamps at 10 cents
each. A savings card wth nine sav
ings stamps affixed will be accepter
as a deposit of $1 either in opening
a postal savings account or in adding
to an existing account, or it may be
redeemed in cash.
A depositor may exchange the
whole or a part of his deposits foi
registered or coupon United States
postal savings bonds, bearing 2Va pei
cent interest, issued in denominations
of $20, $100 and $500. When bonds
are issued in exchange for postal sav
ings deposits the balance to the credit
of the depositor is reduced according
ly, and he may make further deposits
until his account reaches $1,000. A
circular on postal savings bonds ma>
be had at any depository post office.
The First Bank of Cordova has re
ceived a letter from the postmastei
general designating that institution as
the depository for the postal funds.
