WILSON'S NOTE.

The selection of President Wilson to frame the reply of the allies to the pope $ peace note shows that the nations of the en- tcnte recognize in the head of the greatest republic in the world the guiding spirit ol world democracy.

CONGESTION
 OF FREIGHT
 TO END SOON
(Ase-3eiated PreSs)

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 29.-A plan to relieve freight congestion along the eastern seaboard and by so doing to increase railroad et- hciency thirty per cent was announced in government cir cles tonight. The new pro gram provides for the rout- ing of most foodstufts des- tined to Europe by way of the gulf and southeastern ports on the Atlantic. Munitions and manufactured articles will continue to be shipped from eastern ports.
 This plan will greatly re- lieVe the congestion around some of the larger ports of the east and will enable those cities to receive supplies other than those in transit to Flu rope.

A BILLION A MONTH.

Secretary ot the Treasury McAdoo has asked congress Tor an additional war credit of five billion dollars making total o1 twelve billion, including the seven billion already Vot- ed This indicates that the war Is costing the United States billion dollars a month al ready and as yet this country has done lttle ii any more than to make preparations for participating i'll the struggle. What the war will cost when America has all army ot imagination,
 Because of the enormous cost Of prOVl- sioning such all army at such distance from home, America s running expenses are likely to excel those of any nation of the allies.
 And the amount will be far greater than was figured at the outbreak of the war. It was thought four months ago that seven bl- lion dollars would be sufficient for this year or, in other words, would last until the be ginning of the new fiscal year-July 1, 1918.
 However, we have not yet caught up with England when 1t comes to expenditures. That nations estimates for the year are thirteen billion, and she has been spending almost that amount very year since the war began. On account of the unusual cost of the war, the secretary of the treasury has announced that another liberty Loan will be offered to the public in October and this time it will be for three billion dollars-fifty per cent greater than the last one

KEEP COOL.

The American Bank of Alaska has closed its doors. Unfortunate as 1t IS, the deposltOrS will make the situation much worse Ii they allow hysterla to get the better part o1 the1r good sense and judgment. The Citizen advises them to remain cool and wait further develop ments By doing so they will get dollar for dollar, if there is any possibility of doing so. Ii they become hasy and bring the bank $ affairs into court, they may as we'll give up any hope of receiving a substantial propor- ton of their deposits,
 The depostors have the example of the Washington-Alaska bank to warn them oI the danger of litigation. The Washington Alaska bank cases have been in court for several years, and from present indications the suits may drag on, from court to court, for twenty years more, if the dwindling as sets last that long.
 lust because someone acted too hastily in that bank failure, practically all of the funds that should have been divided among the de positors will be disspated in court costs and lawyers fees A little cool judgment would have prevented this.
 The Citizens advice to the depoSitors of t'c American Bank of Alaska is to get to- .,hcr at the earliest possible time and recon

CHRISTENSEN
 THINKS WELL.
 OF OUR FARM $

A Christensen, chief of the lanQ and industrial department of the Al askan Engineering commission, who has spent the past several days in look over agricultural prospects in the vicinity of Fairbanks, and who starts this morning on his trip to the coast with Chairman w. C. Edes, of the commission. and others. stated yesterday that in all of his travels he had never seen anything like the rank growth of all kinds of products that is to be found in In telior Alaska He remarked the rankness of growth, particularly in regard to flowers, saying that it Is absolutely impossible to have any thing on the coast of Alaska that can in any way correspond with the flower gardens that are to be seen everywhere in Fairbanks
 MT Christensen attributes the rankness of growth in the interior to the long. sunshiny days. These, he says, have the effect of making agricultural products Of all kinds grow to better advantage here than in any other part of the country. The chief reason why they are bet ter, he says. is because the coast country has so much raining and cloudy weather and so few sunny days such as are experienced here.
 John Zug. assistant engineer of the Alaska Road commission. and W. II. Waugh. of the public roads commis- sion of the department of the in terior. left Fairbanks for Valdez yes terday after a several days visit here

ENTIRELY NEW LEDGE FOUND
 ON EVA RIDGE.

That he has found an entirely new gold bearing quartz ledge on Eva creek ridge, is the report of George Kenney, who recently arrived In town from the vicinity of Ready Bullion dome, where he has been looking over some of his quartz holdings The find was made on what is known as the Combination group of claims. The ledge, SO far as traced, shows width of three feet and banning shows that 1t car ries values in gold in excess of thir- ty dollars to the ton Mr. Kenney. however, made but little effort to trace the ledge, as he was only out on the ridge for five days.
 MT Kenney is one of the coun- try's prospectors who has great faith in the future quartz developments of the interior. He has claims in all of the promising districts. and spends most of his time prospecting them and doing the assessment work He is pinning a great deal of his faith in the Eva ridge section. as his experience in quartz pros pecting on the Outside teaches him that 1t is the most promising of any.
 The find made by MT kenney is in the same vicinity as are the claims optioned by Falcon Joslin last win ter and prospected by the Kennecott Copper Corporation.

GUARANTEEING BANK DEPOSITS

The closing oi the doors oi the American can Bank, the second unfortunate occurrence ol this kind ill this camp in the past few years, leads to d conviction that the territory should pas, law guaranteeing bank deposits.
 The new State oi Oklahoma has such q measure and other older states are preparing to follow her example Texas also has a
 law which insurcs every bank depositor against possible loss so that he is certain to receive his money back, one hundred cents on the dollar, whenever he wants it. The Territory of Alaska should get in line and also enact a law guaranteeing bank deposits.
 In Oklahoma and Texas, bank failures are unknown. The law inspires the utmost confidence i'll financial institutions, so depos- its are by far the greatest ever known i'll those states. As soon as the measure went into effect, the thousands of people who mis trust banks as rule brought out their say ngs from hiding places and started accounts to which they have continued to add their savings as fast as accumulated.
 The law, which was at first opposed by the banking interests because, it was argued, the strong institutions would be called upon 10 give financial aid to the weak ones, is now Championed by the financial men Of the states where the law is effective Bankers have learned that the increased popularity and con fidence i'll the banks and the attending in crease ill deposits and banking business have more than made up for the small amount ot money each financial institution must pay in the shape of bank insurance
 The Citizen has every confidence i'll the stability and standing of the other banks ill this camp and firmly believes that such 8 law is not needed as far as they are concerned. They are good, sound institutions in flourish ing condition, and following safe and con serVatiVe banking policy.
 But 1t Is to prevent the startng o1 bank ing houses OH small capital and the conse- quent loss to depositors when such institu- tions inevitably tail, that law guaranteeing bank deposits IS badly needed in the territory Iof Alaska. Such a law will increase deposits and make these institutions a greater power for the development ol legitimate enterprise through their greater resources. Let Us see that our next territorial legislature enacts such a law for the good o1 all concerned.
