The Douglas Bank

The following letter to the stock Holders of the Douglas bank will prove interesting to Island people, who have reason to be proud of the institution: To the stockholders;
 Gentlemeu:-It is very gratifying on our first anniversary to be able to sub init to our stockholders what must seem to them 10 be an extremely satis. factory report of the results of our hrst years business.
 The bank was organized for Inc puI- pose of carrying on banking business under more liberal charter tban was permitted under the National Banking Act, and we feel that the success of the enterprise has fully justified us.
 The deposits in the First Territorial Bank today exceed by SlOOOOOtbe local deposits of the First National Bank previous to 1912. The National and Territorial banks is a harmonious com biuatiou which we believe has added materially to the banking strength of Alaska.
 We have been fortunate in having directors who without exception have been successful ln business and who have earned the respect of the com munity, and to whom we feel that our success is partly due Discount com nittee meetings have been he'd every week since the bank was organized and we feel that their advice and Judgment in the matter of loans and general bus mess policy has been a source of value and importance.
 Mir. M. J. OCOuuOr, president, aud Dir. A. E. Gurr, cashier, have contrib. ated in a large measure to the pOpu. larity of the bank.
 There exists both in the office in Douglas and in Juneau a harmony and good will among the employees which cannot fail Co be an important element in our progress.
 The directors took no action in the matter of declaring dividends. This matter may be we'll postponed until the next dividend period on March 9, 1915. Yours very respectfully,
 IT. r. KENNEDY,
 Vice-President.

Sheep Creek Threatened

Yesterday afteanoon late, says the Juneau Empire, protest and applica' tion Co contest the application Go pat cuts sought by the Alaska Tresdwel Gold Mining company to certain lands in the Sheep Creek section, was filed by B. l.. Thane, general manager, on behalf of the Alaska Gastineau Mining company. The contest that is now on involves the whole industrial situation at Sheep Creek including title to the lands occupied by the million dollar steel ore reduction plant being erected and now almost completed by the protestants.
 The Treadweu company is seeking patent to the Hunter millsite, and the lode mining claims known as Wow Wow, Robert, Hunter, Agnes and Be- dun, survey 99J A and B. The Hunter miHsite includes lands claimed by the Alaska Gastiueau company as home stead No. 8, lode mining claim survey 979. and on which the big steel quartz mill. service buildings and other im- provements of the town of Thaue now stand
 The Agnes and Bedum claims are crossed by the Glacier and Silver Queen millsites, survey So3, owned by the Alaska Gastiueau company and on which the old Sheep creek mill stands and is at present used by the company for an experimental station; the traffic railroad of the Alaska Gastineau com pauy also passes over this land.
 The protestant alleges that all of the mineral locations for which patent is sought by the Treadweu company are non mineral ground and that such To cations were made solely to secure the riparian rights of Sheep creek and a portion of which was under lease and option to the applicant at the time that the locations were made; also that the millsite location of the Treadwell com pany is made on a bona ide lode mining claim which the protestant has con- tinually occupied since prior to May l7ISS4
 Protestant further alleges that Home stead extension, survey 900, was made for the purpose of erecting the big mill thereon, but that subsequently, it was decide to erect a part of the buildings on Homestead No. 8 lode mining claim.
 The protest is very yOlumiuous and much of the history of transactions in the Sheep creek properties is made a part of it.

At last accounts the federal court at Juneau was stM struggling with the Sitka liquor question. For some reason the governments attorney feels called upon to oppose the granting.of a license in that town, taking it for granted that a majority of the people there are op- posed to it. We realize easily that where a criminal charge has been lodged it becomes the duty of the United States attorney and his deputies to bring before the conrt all possible evidence tending to prove the guilt of the accused. Bat, where a citizen of the United States in good faith applies for a license under tho laws of the country, to conduct a legal and legiti- mate business, why should a federal at- sorney seek Co go back of the evidence submitted to prove either oue side or Che other2 The government offers li eenses to sell liquor at sl 900 each, cash in advance. The people residing in the locality have the right to give or with hold their consent, which consent is necessary under tbe law before the license can be graueed.

John J. Penglase and John Peterson are building a fish house on the ap- proach to the city dock They claim that they are in a position to supply Douglas people with fish at reasonable prices. The waters of Southeastern Alaska are full of fish, and the most edible varieties at that, yet it has usually been the case that a mess of dsh costs the consumer as much or more than beef or pork. As an article of diet, fish, properly cooked, takes rank among tbe first. If it can be bought as Alaskans should buy it, it will go a long way toward reducing the cost of living. When the housewife can buy fish cheap, she will soon ac- guire the Knowledge necessary 10 cook and serve it in that palatable tempting style which gives it the high rank amoug foods. Alaskans have no bus mess to pay as much for fish as they do iu Chicago or New York. If any thing is cheap in this country, it should be fish.

when she hands over to. the aTch-vil-

US to move. What is your opinion, DR.

Il have seen that sort OF thing my
self more than once. ] think your no.
! ton. Miss Lee. is not at all bad one.
And we were there, all three OF us
and another, making four. The fourth
] person was Edward Wheeler; in my
scheme he was essential.
On the Friday afternoon Mr.. and
Mrs. Montagu got into cab and were
driven away. Wheeler had been in
formed that the servants had been Civ
en- a weekend holiday, and that the
fiat was to be shut up. So far the
man Turner's forecast of their move
mentS had proved correct.
During the early part OF the Satur-
day | noticed that Maggie Harris
seemed to be in an acutely sensitive
frame of mind. Toward evening she
grew restless. She kept giving what
seemed to be involuntary movements
as if suffering from a sense OF physi-
cal discomfort. Soon after 10 O'Clock
she went to bed: ten minutes after

up DIR. Riderman. In less than hall
an hour he appeared with Inspector

and watching. At I o'clock Wheeler

Riderman said that if the girl were
really in a state of hypnosis she would
not notice such trihe as the fact thai
my sitting-room lights were shining
out into the passage. All at once the
doctor held up a forehnger.
"A handle is being turned. Which
is her room?"
ITS the next but one to this
listened. In the utter silence faint
sound was just perceptible. Soft foot
steps came along the passage, then q
figure passed my door.
ITS she," l whispered; "and be-
lieve she's dressed"

the doctor. DO you think he'd be
such fool as to let her walk about
the place in her nightdress?

T; sage and opened my front door. We
all rose.
When We got out on to the landing
she was moving softly down the stone

inspector, that she doesn't know wha,

Montagu. Now, on the first foor II

is his habit to bring home parcels o.
diamonds. He once told me that
parcel he had in his hand was wortf
i nearly fifteen thousand pounds. WheI
asked what he did, in his flat, to in
sure the safety of such valuable prop
erty, he replied that there was littl'
hiding place close to his hand where
it would be as safe as in the Bank o
England. That suggests the safe O
