IMPROVEMENTS F0R PIONEERS
 HOME WANTED
UPERlNTENDENT SUBMITS HIS ANNUAL REPORT TO THE
 LEGISLATURE.

In his annual report submitted to the legislature, Arthur c. Shoup caretaker for the Pioneers Home near Sitka, has made the following recommendations for the improve ment of conditions there:
 More adequate hospital facilities
 Larger quarters for new guests.
 An assembly and recreation room. included in an additional two-story building to cost about s6,000
 A trained nurse is needed
 A more economical heating plant.
 Improvement of the cemetery
 It l3 explained in the report that the total expenditures of the insti- tuition from July, 1913, to the end of 1914 was S17,S47.A9 The average age of the inmates is 6495 years number American born, 2S; number foreign born. 36; number from First division, 30; from Second. IA; from Third, 9; from Fourth, IL
 The following is taken from the report:
 While it is known that many of the old-timers whC had been on the frontier of Alaska were greatly bat tered by time and hardship, it was not anticipated that the need of home in which they could spend their declining years was as great as the establishment of this institu- tion proved it to be- Owing to tie limited room, as well as the very restricted funds, it has been neces- sary to refuse admission to many worthy Alaskans whom the territory ought to provide for, and from such investigation as it was possible to make, only the most urgent cases have been admitted.
 The legislature established the home for Alaska pioneers with the idea of providing a haven for old and disabled men who had spent their years in exploring. prospecting and developing Alaska and had be- come unable to earn living. It was thought that most of these men would be able to do some work in connection with the operation of the institution, but experience las proved that practically all of those who have been admitted are entirely un- able to do anything at all. Many of them are altogether helpless and require constant personal attendance. This has unavoidably increased op- erating expenses beyond eXpecta- tions, and even then the care we have been able to give the most invalid cases has been far from satisfactory. -.
 Almost all of the men who have are of the highest type of American trailblazers. They are men who have lived alone in the silent places, and are of a naturally adventurous dis position. In fact, it is this very quality that has kept them upon the Alaskan frontier, and it is to such men that the territory must credit much of it's development.
 Some friends of the institution have suggested that more rigid dis cipline be enforced upon these old men in this home. To me, however, it seems that to annoy these men with unnecessary restrictions would be an unkindness that is uncalled for. The Alaska Pioneers Home was established as place where these men might spend their declin- ing years in comfort. and is intend ed as partial reward for their path finding services"

FREE WARSAW PRISONERS.
Germans Release Hundreds rf pOlit- ical Prisoners Held in Citadel.

BERLIN, Sept. 15.-The Chem nitz Volkstimme, Socialist organ, reports that the Germans on their en- try into Warsaw liberated hundreds of political prisoners from the War saw citadel, who otherwise would never have seen freedom again. The majority of them were Socialists who had offended the powers in some manner.
 The newspaper says that the clta- del ranked in revolutionary annals with the fortress of St. Peter and St.. Paul in Petrograd, as place for po- litical prisoners.
 The prisoners received their rescu- CTS with great joy, and wept with de- light as their cells were opened and they were informed that they were free. Some were old men who had disappeared from public kea forty years before

MONEY READY

Judge Brown Advised that $25, ,OOO Placed in Seattle Bank-Re-
 ceiver to Pay Depositors.

Judge Brown of the District Court last night received advices from the German American Mercantile Bank of Seattle that $25,O00 had been de- posted in the bank for the purpose of paying off the depositors and draft holders of the Valdez Bank and Trust company, which closed its doors re- gently.
 After conference with the attorn- eys for the receiver, and M. F. Hend- rickson, the assistant cashier of the bank, it was decided to have the money placed in the Scandinavian National Bank of Seattle, the corres- pondent of the First Bank of Valdez, and Judge Brown then wired that the money be placed in the bank, desig- hated to the credit of A. J. Dimond, the temporary receiver of the bank.
 It is expected that the affairs of the bank will be closed up and the creditors paid off within a few days. The few details will be settled today and then the drafts will be drawn to the various depositors.
 The $25,OOO has been raised by C.. F. Hendrickson, the Portland banker, and father of Assistant Cashier M. F.. Hendrickson. MT. Hendrickson, father and son, had made deposits of $14,0OO in the local bank in the ef- fort to keep it afoat. This amount, however, is not to be withdrawn un- til all other depositors and draft hold CTS are paid.
