UTO PROTECT
(Juneau Empire.)
Wholesalers and others engaged
with business firms in Alaska / will
submit a "Bulk Sales Law” to the
Alaska legislature for consideration
at its next session. The law is de
signed to protect creditors when a
business house is sold out in bulk—
that is where the proprietor sells his
store or other business as a whole.
Such a law is now in effect in practi
cally every state in the union.
The following outline of the pro
posed law, which is similar to the law
now in effect in the state of Washing
ton, was submitted to the Alaskans
who were present:
“Any sale or transfer of a stock of
goods, or merchandise out of the usual
or ordinary course of business or
trade of the vendor, or whenever sub
stantially the entire business or trade
conducted by the vendor sells or con
veys an interest in his business, is de
sired by the law to be a sale in bulk.
It is made the duty of the purchaser
to demand and receive from the seller,
before paying any part of the pur
chase price, and before giving any se
curity for payment where the sale is
on credit, a written statement show
ing the names and addresses of all the
creditors of the seller, together wdth
the amount of the indebtedness due or
owing, and to become due to each of
such creditors. This must be signed
and sworn to by the seller or his
agent, or, if the seller be a corpora
tion, by the president, vice-president,
secretary or managing agent. If any
person buys without demanding and
receiving the statement of debts, and
without paying, or seeing to it that
the purchase money is supplied to the
payment of the bona fide claims of
the creditors of the vendor, as shown
by the statement (share and share
alike), the law declaring the salej
fraudulent and void. If the vendor, in j
making the statement, knowingly or'
wilfully omits the name of any credi
tor and the correct amount due him,
the law declares that he is guilty of
perjury, and punishable by imprison
ment in the penitentiary for not less
than one nor more than five years, or
by a fine not exceeding one thousand
dollars.
“Any sale or transfer of a stock of
goods, wares or merchandise, or all or
substantially all, of the fixtures and
equipment used in and about the busi
ness of the vendor, out of the usual or
ordinary course of business or trade
of the vendor, or whenever substan
tially the entire business or trade
theretofore conducted by the vendor
shall be sold or conveyed, or whenever
an interest in or to the business or
trade of the vendor is sold or con
veyed, or attempted to to be sold or
conveyed shall be deemed a sale and
transfer in bulk in contemplation of
this Act: Provided, however, that if
such vendor produces and delivers a
written waiver of the provisions of
this Act from his creditors as shown
by such verified statements, then and
in that case the provisions of this sec
tion shall not apply.”
Local People Favor Flan.
Juneau business men believe that
such a law should be placed on the
statute books. Many small business
houses started in the fast growing
towns of Alaska within the last few
years have been short-lived—usually
because of the lack of sufficient capi
tal, but sometimes because of ineffi
cient management. But before these
places have been closed out, the owner
would sell his stock of goods in bulk
to some one for what he could get out
of it, and the creditors have been com
pelled to “hold the sack.” Some of
these business have been sold out sev
eral times, and each sale has left a
bunch of unsatisfied and uncollectable
debts. Those business men of Juneau
with whom the matter has been dis
cussed believe that the law should pro
vide for the protection of the creditors
in any sale of any business in bulk.
Many of them have been caught by
failures and bulk sales that followed.
SEATTLE, Dec. IB.—Experiments
which will revolutionize the methods
used in the operation of cable tele
grams through the use of the type of
receiving instruments employed in ra
dio communication have been conduct
ed by the war department in Seattle
and have proved remarkably success
ful, according to officers of the Unit
ed States signal corps today.
The experiments were made under
direction of Lieut. Col. George O.
Squier, who has been seeking a new
method of receiving messages over
the government cable lines. A series
of tests were made in Seattle on the
Seattle-Sitka cable, 1,086 miles long,
by officers of the United States signal
corps under the direction of the war
repartment.
Sound Signals.
The use of a type of receiving in
strument employed in radio communi
cation is said to permit the reception
of ordinary Morse signals by ear,
eliminating the necessity for highly
trained cable-readers and permitting
the operation of ocean cables under
conditions that would make communi
cation impossible under the present
system.
It is expected that the new apparat
us will be installed in Seattle and at
all of the Alaska cable stations in the
near future as a result of the experi
ments just completed.
KATALLA OIL IS
OF HIGHER GRADE
THAN CALIFORNIA
SEATTLE—The Katalla oil fields in
Alaska produce crude oil that is worth
five times as much as that from the
California fields, according to Judge
Robert Gray, of Katalla, who is here.
The crude oil from the Alaskan fields
has a gravity of 47 and is easily re
fined into distillate and gasoline. The
production of the district this year
will average about $15,000 a month,
two-thirds of the output being distil
late and one-third gasoline. The pro
duct is sold almost entirely to Prince
William sound consumers.
According to Judge Gray it is the
purpose of the new owners of the Ka
talla wells to sink several new shal
low wells on their claims in order to
increase the production. The gasoline
output at present amounts to 44,000
gallons per month.
ALASKA SALMON PACK
•TOTALS 4,800,000 CASES
The 1916 pack of Alaska salmon
was the largest on record, according
to a circular letter issued by the Grif
fith-Dumey company, of San Francis
co. The firm, the letter says, has just
completed its statistics, which show
the year’ pack to be close to 4,800,000
cases. This is an increase of more
than 300,000 cases over 1915, the pre
vious high record year.
The warm weather in June, July
and August of this year was respon
sible for a heavy demand for pink sal
mon, the only variety of the 1915 pack
that was offering in large quantities
at that time. This demand not only
cleaned out stocks in hands of pack
ers, but it reduced jobber’s stocks to a
very small compass. As a result, there
was an unprecedented demand when
1916 opening prices were named,
which made heavy inroads on the pack
and the market was quick to respond
with an advance.
The English market has kept pace
with the domestic situation, Alaska
Reds having advanced over six shill
ings a case since opening prices were
named. This is equal to about 3714
cents a dozen. Pink salmon advanced
to about the same extent.—Ex. ,
On her last southbound trip the Ad
miral Evans had to seek shelter twice
—once near Cordova and once near
Yakutat, to escape the fury of the 90
mile gale which raged for two days in
the Gulf of Alaska.
LETTER FRQM
THE SEIFTERTS
Mrs. Felix Brown received a lengthy
communication from Mrs. Augustave
Sieffert, written from El Paso, Texas,
and dated December 17th, saying that
the Seffert family stopped off at El
Paso, en route to St. Louis from San
Francisco, to visit Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Watts, formerly of Nome, for a few
days. Mrs. Seiffert writes that El
Paso is particularly busy at this time
as the city is full of soldiers anxiously
waiting for the opportunity to invade
Mexico. She mentions that El Paso
reminded her of Nome in the golden
days in many ways except the weath
er and said that Gus “was simply
melting away by degrees.”
Mr. and Mrs. Seiffert visited in the
j coast cities and met Mr. and Mrs.
John Troy on their honeymoon in
Frisco. The Seifferts left the border
city for St. Louis, where they will
spend several weeks visiting friends
and attending to business connected
with the St. Louis Mining & Trading
company, of which Mr. Sieffert is man
ager and one of the principal owners.
They expect to visit in Chicago and
spend some time in New York before
returning to Anchorage on the first
steamer in the spring to resume oper
ations on the extensive placer grounds
on Resurrection creek, near Hope.

Where Do You
Keep Your
Money?
Meyer Daniels had been accumulating
money for three years. It amounted to $1,700.
Instead of putting it in a Bank, where it would
be safe, he kept it in his house. His house was
destroyed by fire, and this $1,700 in paper
money, representing three years’ economy, was
consumed.
If you are keeping money in your house, you
are running the risk of its loss by fire. Your
insurance policy does not cover money de
stroyed by fire.
Open an account with us and your money will be secure from fire
and theft.
