Editor The Times:
My attention was called to a com
munication that appeared in The
Times a few evenings ago about the
playing of our national anthem as an
exit march. 1 was asked to play the
"Star Spangled Banner” at the end of
the first show by one who has been
trying to arouse the feeling of patriot
ism in the people of Anchorage and to
show a little feeling when this piece
was played. Before Thursday night
there has been no response to the play
ing of our national anthem by anyone
and the person who asked to have it

SET A NEW HIGH
WASHINGTON, April 5.—Ameri
can national banks have set a new
high record for resources, again re
vealing that the United States is in
comparably the richest nation in tne
world.
Comptroller Williams announces
that on March 5, the date of the last
bank call, the assets of the national
banks aggregated more than $16,
000,000,000, exceeding by over
000,000 the combined resources of the
I!ank of England, the Hank of France,
i the Hank of Spain, the Rank of Nor
way, the Hank of Sweden, the Swiss
j National Bank, the National Bank of
I Denmark, the Bank of Japan, and the
i Reichsbank of Germany.
“Reports of national banks in the
central reserve cities throughout the
country as of March 5, just compiled,”
said the comptroller’s statement,
show' that on that date the resources
of these banks were $210,000,000
larger than ever before in their his
tory, the previous high mark having
been reached November 17, 1916.
"The amount of bonds of foreign
governments and of other foreign se
curities held by our national banks
on March 5, was approximately $338,
000,000 or a little more than 2 per
cent of their total resources. The in
crease as compared with December 27
was $16,000,000 and as compared with
November 17, was $40,000,000.”

“It’s no place for an Alaskan! we’re
jtoo slow for them; but it’s sure some
j place, that Outside.”
The foregoing statement was made
1 last night by Jack Leach, the well
i known Fairbanks mining man, who re
j turned Wednesday from a several
! months’ trip to Boston and other cities
I of the east, in describing his trip. He
j told of many changes which had taken
I place since he left his old home in
Boston twelve years ago to seek, and
find, fortune in interior Alaska.
The chief things of interest to Mr.
Leach were the factories. These, lie
states, are working night and day
turning out products of various kinds,
and no man or woman is idle who de
sires to work and who is proficient in
any certain line.
The big iron mills are unable to get
I material on which to keep running all
the time. For this reason thev ar>'

by piece work.
Another industry which interested
Mr. Leach greatly was the manufar
j turing of collars and shirts. He visited
the great duett & Peabody factory in
one of the big cities and saw 5,000
women at work making the product a
fast as possible. He brought back
with him a souvenir of that factory in
the shape of a miniature collar, which
he expects to place on exhibition in
the window of the Fairbanks Clothing
j company today.
On his way west Mr. Leach stopped
off at Hutte, Montana, for a few days.
He says that the copper mines there
are running full blast and that 15,000
men are employed at big wages.
Questioned regarding his probable
operations here during the coming
summer, Mr. Leach stated that he has
not yet made his plans. It is prob
able, however, that he will take up the
mining game where he left off. Mrs.
Leach will be in on one of the first
boats from the outside.
The Fairbanks Commercial club re
cently adopted a resolution urging
the chairman of the territorial house
committee on education to push house
bill No. 0, providing that the terri
tory shall appropriate 75 per cent of
the cost of supporting the schools in
municipalities.
