BUSINESS WAITING FoR BANKS

The announcement of the Farm Loan Board that more than 5OOOO farmers have applied for loans amounting to $l5OOOOOOO shows clearly that when the banks open. they will have a vastly greater volume of business than they can handle. The amount of money which these prospective borrowers call for is stated to be about r times the which the banks will have to lend. but the law anticipates this situation in ways
 The bonds which the banks authorized to issue may be expected to meet with ready sale, since they will be high and legally favored se- curity Thus there will be rapid reconycrson of the assets into liquid capital. Moreover. the capali- zetion of the banks will expand steadily under the provision the law requiring borrowers to become stockholders to the extent of per cent. of their leans In time. the combined effect of these two operations will enable the banks to meet the accumu- lated demand for loans and to maintain funds suftc- tent for current business.
 It may be that the actual operation of the banks will disclose features of the law which not de- sirabe of improvements which must be made. That has been the history of the Federal Reserve law, but this rush upon the Farm Loan Banks which has amounted to an overwhelming demand before the banks are even located is abundant proof that the law in its general featured meets the approval of the borrowing agricultural public. We predict that vixen the law has been given fair trial those who are now attacking it will get around on the other side and call it great piece of constructive legisa. tion That again is the history Of the Federal Re serve law.

 During the past few days it has been repeated many times that 23OO people have left Gastineau Channel in the past four weeks for the outside. Those repeating the statement probably believe it, but the truth is that the steamship officials at Ju and which practically all the business of the subagencieS the Island is reported show that only 75O people have left this part of the country for the outside in the four months. and of that number than two hundred were from the ln- terior or from the west coast and had stopped off to size up conditions here
 'Tis true that many working men have left this part of Alaska in the recent past. lured away by re- ports Of high wages in Arizona Butte and in Utah IL is also true that letter received here this week from Miami Arizona. stating that there are 1000 men at Miami and Globe, Arizona. who are seeking and unable 10 land jobs. Word also came this week that laborers being turned away at Butte Many who have left this vicinity and gone elsewhere have profted by the change and there is no doubt but that the opposite is the case in many instances Distant fields always look green.
