ESTIMATES MADE BY JACK HAYES
 FOR BULKHEAD

The public works and public property committe of the Skagway city council is giving grave thought to river protection this year, ow- ing to the vast amount of snow which when melted will flow into the Skagway river, says the Skag- way Alaskan. That no damage may result from rapid melting and consequently a quick raise of the river, an investigation was made yesterday by Mayor Ashley and Councilman Buting, chairman of the committee and Supt John Hayes, superintendent of the Alas ka Road commissions work in this division, who is in the city.
 These men went over the ground carefully, and at the last meeting of the city council report ed that it would be feasible to put in a bulkhead so as to divert the river channel from the east side of the river bed to the west side so as to throw the river in that part of the channel and force a clean sweep under the Twenty-second avenue bridge.
 At an expenditure of approxi- mately $500, according to an es- innate prepared by MT. Hayes suffi- cient work could be done to safe guard the city and also protect the

ARE HELPING NATION
Shown That the Chain of Financial Institutions Prove a Great
 Benefit.

WASHINGTON. April IT. The Comptroller of the Currency said:
 "The opening of the Third Liberty Loan found the National banks of the country splendidly prepared to play a big part in making this loan success.
 The subscriptions which were sent in by the National banks of the coun try to the First and Second Liberty Loans for themselves and for their customers aggregated the vast sum of $4,175, 100000, and there were al lotted to the National banks on the subscriptions thus sent in by them a total of 90,000,000 of bonds of the First and Second Liberty issues. These huge subscriptions were prac- tically paid in full many weeks ago.
 On March 5, 1917, the total depos- it's of the National banks of the coun- try amounted to $12,957 100000. Since that date the Secretary of the Treas ury has sold and collected for $5, sos, S,000,900 of Liberty Bonds, of which sum nearly three-fifths were taken by the National banks of the country and their customers.
 And yet after making settlements for these huge investments the re- ports of the National banks for March 1. 1918. show that their de- posits were not only not diminished on account of withdrawals to pay for Liberty Bonds, but the National banks in the period from March 5, 1917, to March 4. 1918, an actual in crease in deposits of $1,4S0,589, ,OOO.
 The total resources of the National banks between March 5, 1917. and March 4, 1918. increased $2,035,7S 900, and amounted on the latter date to $18,014,911, 900.
 The deposits of the National banks on March 4. 1918, show very little change as compared with December 31, 1917, there being total reduc- tion of $6,920,000 in deposits; but loans and discounts in the same per iod show a reduction of $251, ,611 ,000.
 The National banks were never in a better condition to assist in the placing of a great Government loan than they are at this time. Their total resources are now about $2,- 900. .OOO, 900 in excess of what they were when the First Liberty Loan was offered in the summer of 1917, and the records show that the great bulk of Liberty Bonds which these banks placed have passed on to per manent investors and to customers who have been able to pay for their bonds and carry them without find ing it necessary to borrow money up on them.
 The National banks report that on March 4. 1918. the total amount of 3h ger cent. Liberty Bonds held by them amounted to only $S6,577,OOO. The total amount of 4 per cent. Lib
The Alaska daily empire., 1918-05-03

erty Bonds owned by them on the same date was $347 161, ,OO0, making the total amount of Liberty 312 and per cent bonds owned by Nation al banks 433,73S, 900, which is only about per cent. of the total of Liberty Bonds issued to date.
 The amount of money loaned by National banks on the 31a and per cent. Liberty Bonds was report ed on March 8, 1918, at $299,6S4,000 The amount of Liberty Bonds owned by the National banks of the coun try plus the money which they are leanding on Liberty Bonds is, there fore, only $733,422,000.
 The Government has in the past twelve months sold and collected for $5,S0S 100000 of Liberty Bonds We, therefore, find that the people of the country have bought and paid for over 0000,000 of Liberty Bonds, exclusive of all bonds owned by National banks or bonds upon which National banks are lending money. Except in so far as the hold CTS of some of these bonds may be borrowing on them from State banks or trust companies or elsewhere, this great sum may now be regarded as held for investment.
 It is a tribute to the solidity and powerful evidence of the success of our banking system that these gi gantic transactions have been carried through without creating the slight est furry or Arrangement in the money market. Despite the large withdrawals which were necessary in order to pay for the new Liberty Bond issues, the deposits of the Ma tional banks actually increased, as compared with their deposits made prior to the offering of the First Liberty Loan, about billion and half dollars, as shown by their sworn reports of March 4, 1918, while total resources as shown above are nearly two billion dollars greater.
 In addition to the investments by National Banks in ,the S1a and 4 per cent. Liberty Bonds these banks also held on March 4, 1918, United States Certificates of Indebtedness aggre gating $876,917 ,000. which the banks can largely utilize, if they should care to, in making subscriptions for themselves and their customers to the Third Liberty Loan.

In recent issue of the Post In telligencer appears the following in teresting sketch by Marie Gabel, a member of the staff of writers of that paper:
 The wife of Alaska's ninth Gov ernor has all the qualifications that a Governors wife of that vast coun- try should have. In the first place, Mrs. Thomas Riggs, Jr, who with her husband and her children, leaves tomorrow for Juneau, likes Alaska. She has lived two years in the little town of Nenana, way above Fair banks, where "roughing it" is all that can be done. In the second place, she likes AlaskanS because they are so warm hearted. Thirdly she is democratic, and possesses that degree of charm which allows her to be as much at home in the mining camp as in the drawing room
 Mrs Riggs is a woman of culture and refinement, expressed in her peasant-speaking voice, and in her SlOlutSy W HUI uiC HuiOt, pClLCNtly planned and modern withal. Yester- day she wore a gray-taupe suit, em broidered in self-tone. A smart black hat, ornamented with narrow ostrich feathers, went with the costume She's a slight little woman, about as tall as a mans heart, and with large gray-blue eyes, which look straight through you.
 The Riggs are on their way from Washington, D. C., where they have spent the winter, to their new home in Juneau. Their two small chil- dren-Lisette, aged 4, and Tommy Christmas, a little more than 2-are taking the long journey as a matter of course. They'll have at least four years in that great rich country, and for two years, Lisette will not know what school is. If there is kinder garten in Juneau she'll attend kinder
