RURAL CREDITS IN
STATE OF TENNESSEE
Farmers May Secure Long Time
Loans at Low Rate Of
Interest

Henry county will have a
chance at the Rural Credits
which they have so often read
and so long expected. The en-
tire nation is interested in this
great movement of Rural Credit
and no doubt our people will
welcome the opportunity that is
to be afforded by having the sys-
TEN put into actual operation.
Secretary Daniel of the Paris
Business Mems Club has secured
the backing of a million dollar
Rural Credit Association, not
only for Henry county, but for
the entire State of Tennessee,
and this State will be under his
entire jurisdiction with perhaps
100 men at least working under
him, with Paris as the center for
the entire state. Mr.. Daniel has
been appointed as general mana
ger of the Rural Credits in the
State of Tennessee as we'll as
Henry county.
Farmers can secure long time
loans amounting to one half the
value of their farms with inter-
est of 5 per cent per annum. The
loans run from 10 to so years
with no fear of foreclosure as
long as the small annual interest
is paid by the farmer.
This is not only good for the
farmer. but will prove to be an
excellent aid to all banks and the
people generally. The farmers
of each county in the state will
CO. operate as stockholders in
this association and any member
of the Rural Credit Association
may secure a loan at 5 per cent
for so years if he wants it, and
with the privilege of paying off
the loan at any time after 60
days notice in writing. Farmers
and bankers who may be inter-
ested can get full information by
writing or calling upon Mr.. DAN
iel at the Paris Business Mems
Club.
The Association is Incorporated
under the laws of Kentucky and
Governor James B. McCreary, of
Kentucky is the president.
Some of the strongest banks and
wealthiest farmers of the South
are on the board of directorate
and the financial backing is ex-
ceedingly strong.
The stockholders are the best
farmers and bankers of the State
of Kentucky. Dividends are
payable semi-annually. Farmers
desiring financial aid may make
application Immediately after
joining the Association and the
loans are to be made within a
reasonable length of time.
Mr.. Daniel, like many others,
believe that this movement
means a great blessing to the
entire country. Mr.. Daniel has
given about five or six years to
the study of the system and is
well qualified to place the system
into actual service. He has
just returned from a visit to
Louisville, Frankfort and Lex
ington, Kentucky where he held
conference with the officials and
others.
Mr.. Daniel will Immediately
call for t h e services of at
least 100 county Representatives
who will carry out the plans in
every county in the state. The
representatives for Henry coun-
ty will be named by Mr.. Daniel
within the next week or ten
days.

 Lieut.. Mears, of the Alaskan En- gineering commission, ordered the rails on the Northwestern to be un- loaded at Seward and gave the Admi- ral Farragut first chance to discharge her cargo of provisions at Anchorage.
 While the Northwestern was at Anchorage the Kansas City arrived, but after taking in the situation re- turned to Seldovia to await instruc- tions when she could secure the serv. ices of the barges.
 The steamer Alliance, carrying flf- teen hundred tons of provisions foI Brown & Hawkins Anchorage store returned to Seward, but it is under. stood that she has been ordered back and that an effort will be made to land the cargo.
 The officers of the Northwestern state that the anchorage in Cook Inlet is not good and their anchors show that they have been dragging as the four-inch f1ukes are worn of and the anchor chains where they came in contact with the ice have been beautifully polished.
 Captain Hunter declined to make any comment on his experiences in Cook Inlet except to state that con- ditions could be improved in the mat ter of lighterage. He believes pow erful tug should have been engaged and special scows provided which would not permit the ice to pile up in front of them, causing their lines to give way under the strain

SITKA APPRECIATES WORK

l The Alaska Road Commission in trying to make small amount reach all over Alaska comes in for criti- cism every once in a while, and un- just criticism at that. Contrary to the spirit of resentment felt because the government commission cannot accomplish more, comes a neat bou- quet in the form of a compliment from Sitka directed to Jack Hayes, Superintendent of road construction in Southeastern Alaska with head quarters at Juneau, which reads: Whereas, The Alaska Road Com: mission has recently repaired the government roads adjacent to Sitka, and has also commenced the con- |struction of a trail from Jamestown Bay to Sawmill Bay-to be later completed and enlarged for use as la wagon road, and,
 Whereas. All of this work was ex cellently done and will be of great benefit to this community, and Whereas, The Alaska Road Com mission has in years past greatly aided Sitka by building roads and bridges for the development of the surrounding country, be it therefore Resolved, By Camp Sitka, No. 6. !of the Arctic Brotherhood that we do hereby in behalf of ourselves and the people of Sitka. extend sincere thanks to the Alaska Road Commits sion for the work completed or be- gun by it in the vicinity of the town of Sitka and be it further.

COOK INLET ICE
 GETTING PRIMER
Admiral Farragut Given First Chance to Discharge her Cargo of Pro-
 visions at Railroad Town.

Passengers arriving on the steam er Northwestern last night tell of the desperate efforts made by Cap tain Hunter to land his freight at Anchorage and the battle with the Cook Inlet ice which lasted several days. It is asserted that Captain Hunter was on the bridge almost con- stantly for five days and nights, mak- ing every effort to land the freight, four hundred tons of which was fin ally taken back to Seward.
 When the Northwestern left An ehorage the steamer Admiral Farra- gut was preparing to discharge fif- teen hundred tons of freight, mostly general merchandise. and it is be- lieved that she too will have her troubles.
 The ice on Cook Inlet is getting firmer and it is believed will soon precent the small launches from handling the barges used in lighter ing the freight to shore. It is stated that when the ebb tide sets in toward Anchorage that field of ice. extend- ing as far as the eye can see, drifts into the channel, causing the steam CTS to drag anchor The ice was so firm that when it struck the anchor chains of the steamer that the Northwestern was forced up against the tide and ice. It was necessary 10 keep the vessel in constant motion 60 break the floe-ice, which piled up in front of the square-nosed scows until it lowered above the deck. Often the great cakes of ice would float un- der the barges, lifting them almost clear of the water
 After a day or two spent in an al most useless endeavor to land his cargo. Capt. Hunter realized that fur ther fighting with the elements was useless. and taking three scows he let the steamer go out with the tide and returned again with it with the scows loaded and ready to be landed, as the rising tide breaks the ice near the shore.
 Several times it was necessary for the Northwestern to go to the assist ance of the little launches which are doing the work for which heavy and powerful tugs should have been pro- vided. The launches are almost as powerless in the ice as the barges.
 The steamer had not only to fight the ice while discharging her cargoes, hut had to keep a sharp watch on the barges Sperm and Matanuska, which have broken loose and pass up and down the channel with the rise and fall of the tides. The people of Anchorage have bid good bye to the barges several times but they are sure to return on the next tide. They must, however, soon be crushed, as the ice is getting firmer owing to the cold weather prevailing in the inlet.
 The lumber barge Davenport is re- ported to be helpless and floats about on the flats with the tides. Her cap tain flies distress signals whenever B. steamer hoves~in sight, but they have
