 For many years the mineral water at Livingston has been we'll and favorably known in this section of the state, but it has never been widely distributed throughout the country.

 While there has been talk from time to time of advertising the water through out the south. no organized effort to ex- ploit its merits was ever made until thu, city government decided to undertake the proposition. According to present plans

COAST BANKER OPTIMISTIC;
 SAYS CONDITIONS ARE GOOD

Returning to Skagway, after hay ing spent two months investigating business conditions to the West ward, E. A. Rasmuson, president of the Bank of Alaska, told a repre- sentative of The Alaskan recently that, while business conditions in general in Alaska were quiet, be believed that Alaska had not been as severely affected by depression as had the States.
 The banker said he had found business conditions very good at Anchorage and vicinity. He said the Anchorage branch of the Bank of Alaska had three-quarters of a mil lion dollars on deposit, and that conditions in general were very good.
 He visited the several coal dis tricts along the coast and was par ticularly optimistic regarding the de- velopment oE the deposits at Chick aloon. Captain Bowling, who is in charge of the work there, is doing excellent work, according to Mir. Rasmuson, and enjoys the confidence of every one in that section.
 Mir. Rasmuson found Cordova less active than Anchorage. but the bank there is doing well notwithstanding the fact that the town is quiet. De posits have increased S30,00o dur ing the past year, MT. Rasmuson says.
 The banker was accompanied on the trip by W. H. Benton, of Min neapolis, who is a stockholder in the Bank of Alaska.

matters. The delegate race may or may not be the main object of the proposed heart-to-heart talkfest. but that it will be on subjects of i'm portance may be imagined from the fact that letters and telegrams are not satisfactory means of communi- cation in this particular instance.
 If it can be proved that the big automobile manufacturer is going in- to Alaska local politics, it will likely put a crimp into the whole scheme, and Drayton's friends need lose no more sleep over the fight they expect to be made against their man by the Washington bureaus and the Pinchot onservationists n the East Outside support, however powerful, would be extremely dangerous for any Alaska candidate.
 "In noting these circumstances It Is but common fairness to add that MT. Drayton's friends deride the idea that Ford has any connection with the professional writer's can didacy beyond a friendly interest ; that his claim for support will rest entirely upon his effective fight for Alaska in recent years; and. they add with much assurance, that if any candidate the Democrats pro- duce can be coaxed into a series of joint debates on the stump. their man would win T 9 walk"
