ALASKA BANKS

Thanks to Che bureau ol internal revenue Che people forced to live in the states know just how A.askaus stand financially with Bradstrecl Dun and Uncle sam.

 And while we arc on Che subject of banking it might bc wcu to on- svcr Che question so frequently ask- cd.

My fellow farmers all of South

any past partisan affiliations I appeal
to all the farmers to become a unit
In an effort to save our state.
We can stay here in great peace
and prosperity if we can get our
own farmer leaders to rule over us
and legislate for us, but mark nv
prediction; as we undertake to carry
out our plan of organization you will
find that half the lawyers in the state
are going to try to tear us to pieces
and try to move heaven and earth to
succeed. We must find the man. and

His car was still in low gear when
he reached the crossing and he did
not see the swiftly moving train un-
til IT was within few feet of him.
He barely had time to step out on the
running board when the train struck
the machine with Il crash that could
be heard several blocks. The car was
