CAPTAIN BARNEYTE'S STATEMENT

During my stay in Los Angeles had almost daily talks with Mir. Ward and with MT. Williams. his foreman at the plantation. and with numerous others acquainted with Mexico. Being that I intended go. ing down there. looked into mat terS connected with the plantation and from all information could gather. I am convinced that the plantation is not only one of the best in Mexico. but for soil. climate and location. it is almost impossible to find better plantation adapted towards growing sugar cane, to- baCco, bananas, coCOanut. or in fact. any tropical fruit whatever
 In regard to the valuation of the plantation, after thoroughly inves- tigatiEg all data I could obtain. l would consider one hundred dollars an acre very cheap for the property. If were the owner of it, would not consider such an offer.
 Very truly,
 F. I. JENSEN"
 Now that l have explained briefly the various things about the Wash ington-Alaska bank affairs that have been before the public through the columns of the Fairbanks press, l wish to make few comments on the publication of the many SUD- posed interviews with me during the winter.
 The first interview I had when l went Outside last fall was printed by the Seattle Times. I gave them an item saying that had resigned from the presidency of the Wash. ingtonAlaska bank, which was true, as I have mentioned above, but nothing was mentioned in this in terview of my having closed out my entire interests, which. of course l had not This item when printed, however. came out very much en- larged on. When l saw this, I inn mediately had them retract the statements only as to the exact truth, which they did. This was the only time was interviewed in Seattle and during my residence in Los Angeles l was not interviewed by any person whatever The only newspaper man l talked with dur ing my stay in California was after I moved over to Pasadena. A repre- sentative of the Los Angeles EX- aminer called on me one evening about II o'clock and informed me that they had received a wire from the North saving that Mir. Jackson was fugitive from justice and did not dare return to Fairbanks. He then asked if I had any state ment to make, and I told him that the statement was entirely false and that Mir. Jackson was perfectly honest and had done nothing but what would bear the strictest inves- tigation and also that he would re turn to Fairbanks to face any and all accusations against him.
The Alaska citizen., 1911-02-22

These are the only times have been interviewed, and anything fur ther that has been printed as hay. ing been said by me has been printed without my consent or knowledge.
 After the failure of the bank it was my intention to come North and see what arrangements could be made towards straightening out affairs. Mrs. Barnette insisted on coming along. but. as she had been in the hospital. and was hardly strong enough for the trip I de. layed a few days. did. however. come 10 Seattle a few days before she did.
 When l arrived in Seattle I call. ed on my attorney Mr. McCnrd and told him briefly what my intentions were. He then told me that he had looked into the affairs thorough ly and said that everything in con nection with the Washington-Alaska bank from the time of the re-or- ganlzation of the Fairbanks Bank ing company to the present day was perfectly legitimate and hon est and that my conduct in any and all of the dealings could not be questioned and would bear a strict investigation. When Mrs. Barnette arrived in Seattle she called on MT. McCord, and he told her that my conduct in the entire matter of inc bank was without reproach. and that he advised her not to let me give away any part of my fortune. toward liqnidating the losses made by the bank failure, as l was in no way responsible for It. Mrs. Bar nette then said We had talked il over thoroughly before leaving Pasa- dena and had decided that, while We felt and knew We were not re. sponsible for the failure, We also wanted to do all in our power 10 see that the depositors were paid in full, therefore have submitted the above proposition.
 In conclusion I will say that l never, at any time or place gave ut- terance 10 the expression q am not worrying in relation to the bank affairs. The public must be aware that in situation such as this where so many people are interested all manner of stories could become rife, and that in the majority of cases they arise in the imagination and the farther they travel and the oftener told the more dangerous and untruthful they become.
 l court the fullest investigation cf all matter and things in relation 10 the banks affairs and my connec- tion herewith, because it is my earnest desire that nothing but the truth may be told and the public made aware of the true situation.
 My presence here, at this time. is for the one purpose and my very best efforts shall he put forth to bring about the desired results.

$2,S50,O00

1 NiS leaves One-tnlfQ or the land vet to be accounted for. You would probably use up ten per cent. for roads and villages, the balance of the land would raise sufficient to off set the annual charges of the ban anas and cocoanuts, and the esti- mate on the sugar output is net.
 There is estimated only 10000 acres of delta land such as yours north of Panama on the Pacific coast of which you own nearly one-half.
 When you ask me to place price on such property, which, on almost any ordinary crop will pro- duce S100 or more per annum, and on such crops as bananas, cocoa nuts, and sugar cane from 150 to 300 dollars per acre, I would say, were l the owner of this property, l would not consider for a minute price of $100 per acre, and would consider the property a bar gain at s400 per acre.
 Respectfully submitted

 The following is a short state ment made by MT. Jensen regarding y ITO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
 I have been in the employ of MT. Barnette for sometime and left here last fall expecting to go to Mexico to represent him in his holdings there. I was to go down there with MT. Ward, who is superintendent of the plantation. but on account of the illness of his wife, we were de- layed Before I could get away trouble about the Washington-Alaska bank occurred and while MT. Bar nette was in Seattle he wired for me to wait at Los Angeles until his return.
 MT. Barnette has been investing very heavily in improvements on the plantation and when he decided to go North he considered it best for me not to go down there at present, and at his request I came back to Fairbanks.
