all of the legal notices in connection with he Washington-Alaska bank cases were given To the News-Miuer for publication. representative of the Citizen made application 10 Harry Pratt for d share of the business He was informed tha, the preference was bsius given 10 the News-Miner be- oause that paper. or it's editor, owed the bank money some $5oo We be Heye and 'he debt was being can celsd in this manner
 Now, as the Citizen had been up against similar propositions iu con uection with The New Miner so many times previously that the proceeding had become irksome. this last raw deal naturally got our goat to some eNtenr. We could not see why the News-Miner should be made d pre- ferred debtor, since it's proprietors Wers perfectly well able 10 pay if they had been made to. while men working on The creeks. less able to pay. were proceeded against and their property attached and sold To Us f looked rotten ROTTEN say the least
 So We made this proposition 10 Mir Pratt: We agreed 10 publish two notices of marshal's sale that Were ready, and three notices of summons that were coming up, al the regular rate and look for pay meur 10 someone who owed the bank. If We could nor collect fr-m some per son indebted 10 the bank we were out and injured, because We agreed that We would not present a bill 10 the bank and the depositors would there fore be ahead the price of the pub lications.
 Mir. Pratt saw the point, and the benefit accruing 10 the depositors, and We were given the two notices that were ready. When. however. the receiver saw that the notices had been published in the Citizen he was indignant presumably because of some criticism of himself that had been made in this paper. and he insisted that no other publications be given us Our bill Of $70 was settled by the receiver for $G0 be- cause he was aVerse to having us make the collection through a certain party indebted 10 the bank his ob- jection being that this creditors in debtedness was being liquidated from time to time The notices of summons we had been promised were given to the NeWsMiner for publica- ton. as has been every other legal publication since that time in con- nection with the bank matter. in spite of our offer to publish all no- tices for the receiver on the stipu- lation to collect from some one ow- Ing the bank or go without any pay whatsoever. The Times was inform ed by us of the course we had taken in the matter and we have little doubt that paper stood ready to ac- cept the publications on the same terms as ourselves.
 The advertising for these publica- tions has already run into several hundred dollars and is well worth considering by the depositors. That one paper should be given the pref erence over two others without con- petition simply because it had not been honest enough to liquidate a debt it could well afford to pay is matter well worth Investigating. It may be that there is another reason.
