KETCH|KAN 4
 POSTAL BANK INSTRUCTION HAVE BEEN RE-
 CEIvED AT THE
 PosToFFICE. FROr APRIL FIRST
May Begin With One Dollar Privilege Given to
 Children.

Instructions have been received from the post office department stating that the Ketchikan post office will become postal saving bank on April 1st, 1916. The local post office gives out the following
 information for the benefit of those who may be interested:
 The postal bank allows anyone to start an account with any amount from S1 up. Ten cents at a time may also be saved by purchasing for dime postal saving card to which Is attached g ten cent postal saving stamp. After nine more stamps have been added the card may be turned in at the post office and . certificate of deposit for S1 is issued. This idea of saving 10c
 time has always been a grea thing for the children wherever a postal saving bank has been estab- lished. Any child 10 years of age and over may open an ac- count in his or her own name.
 When a deposit is made in the postal bank, certificates for the amount are issued. These certi- fieates may be cashed at any time but are not transferable. They must be cashed by the person to whom they are issued. All deposits bear interest at the rate of ? per cent. One hundred dollars is the total amount which may be deposited by any one person in one month and a limit of $500 has been placed as the total amount which anyone may have on deposit.
 I great many people have ex- pressed an opinion that the postal savings bank will hurt the local banking institution but such will not be the case as has been shown throughout the States. Instead of people hoarding their money in de- posit vaults or in a stocking at home, people will trust the gov ernment al ? per cent. After a while they get used to having their savings out of their actual posses sion and they then take the money to the bank where they get 1 per cent. Instead Of working against the bankers it helps them.

Joe Baronovich, one of the most enterprising men in the country is busy overhauling the big river boat, the 'Nahlin" that was used last summer in the mildcuring of sal mon, for the purpose of navigating the Stickine river the coming season. The boat will be equipped with a 40 h. p. steam engine which will give her a speed of at least sixteen knots an hour, and from about the first of May, she will be used to carry freight and passengers up the river where mining will be go- ing on extensively, according to re- ports. While previous experiments has proved a failure, Joe believes that it will be a paying enterprise this year due to the increased traffic and the boat used for which the "Nahlin" is entirely suited.

ABOUT AMENDMENT NO. ID.

We all want good roads and
have for Is years been paying
3 mill tax TO get them. But I'M
fortunately this 3 mill tax is
levied only ! year at a time and
heretofore has been used entire
y for temporary work on DIRT
roads and consequently there
has been no general Improvement
in our roads.
This 3 mill tax is enough for us
to pay to get rock surfaced roads
good for 300 days out Of every
year regardless Of the weather
Amendment No. II if adopted
will give us a chance to vote
ibis 3 mill tax to be collected for
a term OF years and pledge it for
a loan that would build miles and
mil 5 OF good modern highways.
Remember, it S the same tax we
are already paying, won t IN
crease our taxes a cent.
This Amendment boiled down
means: The Quorum Court when
authorized by a majority of the
voters may levy an ANNUAL
road tax OF not over 3 mills chat
lis the law now and it would not
be changed unless the voters saw
fit later
Or, the Quorum Court when aa-
thorized by a majority of the vot-
ers may levy a road tax Of not
over 3 mills to be collected for
term of years not over thirty and
pledge this tax for loan for inn
mediate building of roads.
Both the annual tax and the
term of years tax can not be lev
led at the same time. The limit
for road purposes is 3 mills which
is the rate we now pay.
There s no joker or niger in
the wood pile" in this. If the
amendment carries We can if we
wish, go ahead as we have been
levying an annual tax or we can
borrow enough money and build
rock surfaced roads in every di-
rection NOW.
This is the only practical way
to build roads we have had offer
ed. Let everybody vote and talk
it. The United States Govern
ment has voted an appropriation
of over a million dollars to the
state of Arkansas during the next

same amount.
There is no way we can put it
up unless this amendment ear
