Gen. Richardson Writes
 Letter To Alaska People

if the sentiment Of the Territory and of the Legislature shall early recognize the advantage of co-opera- tion with Federal agencies concerned in this work. or else the Territory may find itself in the position of having all Federal aid withdrawn. It has already fallen to me on more than one occasion to defend the Territory before a committee of Congress for it's past attitude in this respect.
 In case the local roads should pass generally under control of the Territorial organization, as they must in due time, that organization should seek the cooperation and support of the Forestry Bureau, and of the Bureau of Public Roads. Az ricultural Department, and should utilize as far as practicable any ex- isting organization of trained men in the Territory.
 In taking leave of this work-to which I may not return by reason of the need of my services else where-and of Alaska at this time, after twenty years of close associa- tion with it's people, which associa- tion has carried much affectionate sentiment on my part, l wish to say, in no spirit of malice or resent ment. that the Board of Road Com missioners and myself, personally have, unfortunately, not always re- ceived the united support that should have been given us in this work, in order to have produced the maximum of benefit to the Ter ritory; largely on account of wilful misrepresentation. and lack of understanding. on the part of many people, of the difficulties that con fronted the Board in the matter of obtaining funds, as well as the cost of construction and maintenance of roads in Alaska.
 The Board needs no defense of it's work, speak with no egotism, but rather with an intimate know ledge and understanding of facts, when I say that the results obtained for the money expended so far are of a character to challenge any ana lysis or comparison, and do credit to the energy and faithfulness of the superintendents, assistants, and employees of the Board in the field, in various parts of the Territory.
 In case I should have the good fortune to return to Alaska, I shall do so with an eager pleasure, but in case I do not l shall hope to see ly begun. go forward. and l shall not fail to give encouragement and support to it on every occasion that may arise where I can do so.
 w. P. RICHARDSON.
 President of the Board.

BANK CHECKS NOT BE
 TAXED BY REVENUE LAW

Many people in Juneau are under the impression that the new war revenue tax bill provides for a stamp tax on all bank checks and drafts. or other papers prepared by a bank for the transfer of money This is not the case and John R. Willis, Vice President of the B. NJ. Behrends Bank. this morning stated that persons using checks will not need to pay extra for the privilege.
 "The question of imposing a stamp tax was considered before Congress for some time, but 1t was finally decided not to do so and the provision was stricken from the bill before it's passage" he said.

MT. Stone preached Sunday morn- ing on the war work of the Y. M. CA. taking for his text, .'g am among you as lone that serNeth." He began by reference to how we are but beginning to realize the greatness of modern war but in its cost in the things that can. not be Egured but only felt, it's levy upon physical, mental, and moral forces. 1t is everybody $ war, not that alone of the thirty eight to forty mil- lion men who, Dr. Mott estim ates, are engaged in il but the war of every m an, woman, and ckild. The Y. Nj. C. X. does work that gives it every right to dem and of us the S35, 900 ,00O to be raised this week.
 There are three reasons. he said, why the Y. M. C. A. has right to our SUD- port. First. it is necessary to the vic tory of our forces, and ysetory is our supreme end. But victory depends upon the morale of the men who light; upon that spirit which comes from faith in this cause, in themselves, in their fellow men, in God. In Russia we have seen how disastrous is its loss. H ow for morale there must be mini mum at least of physical well being, mental sanity, a spiritual power, the three forces typified by the Red Fri angle, the ends toward which the as soeiation works by all its means and methods, in the way we know so well.
 The Y. NJ. C. A. is necessary for the boy who, in camp life, is subjected to dangers more deadly than bullets. By it's efforts 10 keep unbroken the home ties, this is the strongest agency available with which to fight the tenn mptations that break body and soul.
 Last, this opportunity for reaching men is unparalleled, and one that the forces of righteousne ss, of Christ, must not neglect to use to the full. Let the giving this week be no perfunctory matter, but a measure of each persons TcdllZhtiOu ihnt uc eiNcst ot hioSsi 'Siy little for those who risk all for him.
