ALASKAN TOWN W|TH LOTS IF MONEY
 AND NO TAXES PAY
IDITAROD HAS FEW PARALLELS IN HISTORY OF TERRITORIAL
 TOWNS, SAYS EXCHANGE

All ye that are weary and heavy laden, how would you like to live in a town that is incorporated, has so much money it does not know how to spend it, and is tax free and care free?
 Such enviable place is Iditarod city, in the heart of the Iditarod and Inno- ko placer mining and dredging dis trict, which will have a winter popu- lation of 22 and a summer population reaching into the hundreds.
 The town has $3500 in the treasury and revenues from Federal licenses amount to more than expenses, so there is no reason for making a tax levy. In fact, so flush is the town that it is stated a community electric light plant may be installed and juice furnished free to residents.

Hon c. NJ. White, supreme comman-
ing financier and one of the Races
most noted men, passed away at Z
O'Clock Wednesday night at st. Jo-
seph's hospital within a few hours af-
ter having undergone an operation for
stomach trouble. The news of Mr..
Whites death came as distinct shock
as but few of his friends knew of his
illness. The Woodmen offices were
closed all day Thursday as mark of
respect to their fallen chief. Mr..
White came to Denver with his fam
lily n number of years ago, shortly af
ter he had taken over the management
of the American Woodmen, then a
struggling organization of doubtful
aim The magiclike growth and pow
er of the American Woodmen from the
moment Mr.. White assumed the reins
of authority until today reads more
like fairy tale or some romantic story
of Arabian nights. Recognized univer-
sally as one of the strongest, If not the
strongest, Negro fraternal organization
on the American continent, with its
operations extending rapidly over the
vast majority of states in the Union,
the American Woodmen in its surpass-
ing growth owes much to the ability,
business acumen and foresight of G.
NJ White. In his death Denver loses
a worthy citizen and large property
holder, and the Negro race loses a
leader and faithful friend.
When Mr.. White became the nomi-
nal head of the American Woodmen
about ten years ago its operations eX-
tended only to Colorado and three
Southern states, and this to a limited
degree. Today the American Wood
men reaches out over twenty-five
states to the east, north and south. Its
rapid growth and undoubted strength
has brought Mr.. White into promin-
ennce as one of the nations recognized
authorities of any race on fraternal
insurance as well as an organizer OF
unusual foresight and ability. He died
at the age of 56 years, leaving wire,
son and daughter to mourn MS
loss. Funeral services will be held at
Shorter Church, Sunday, 10 p. m.

Bandmaster Wins
$1,7OO Verdict
From u. n. [. A.

William Isles, formerly bandmaster
of the brass band which played for the
Garvey organization, the U. n. L. A,
commonly known as the Black Star
Band, sued on behalf of himself and
eighteen members of the band for ST.
700 claimed to be due them as salary
for service rendered at Liberty hall.
President Garvey, admitting the men
had not been paid, claimed they were
employed by the Black Star Line and
not the U. n. /. A. He was supported
in this contention by the orders musi-
cal director, the high chancellor. and
the secretary general. The band
played every night for the Garvey
meetings, but when Democratic po-
litical meeting was held at Liberty hall
during last falls campaign and the
band was called on to play, they re-
fused on the ground of not being paid
for overtime and this led to total sew
erance of connection with the U. N.
l. A.
The jury was out only twenty-five
minutes, when it returned a verdict
for the band for the total sum of ST.
1887. The case was tried in the

n. C.. Mutual Takes
J Over Business of
! AfrO-American Co.
Second Oldest Insurance
Company in North Caro-
lima Absorbed by
Oldest.

Durham, n. C.-The North Carolina
Mutual Life Insurance Company has
at various times reinsured the busl-
ness of twelve different colored COM
panies operating in North and South
Carolina.
1t now announces that it has taken
over the business of the Afro -Ameri-
can Life Insurance Company of Char
lotte, n, C. The Afro-American is the
second Oldest life insurance company in
North Carolina, the North Carolina
Mutual being the oldest. The Char
latte company was organized and fos-
tered for nearly twenty years by Thad-
deus Tate of that city.
The years of depression through
which the country has just passed were
severe on the management and strength
of every business concern. The Afro
American is to be congratulated on
having passed through this period with
success. But at the close of 1922 Mr..
Tate and his associates, with their
usual and far-sighted judgment, saw
that the day of big business was at
hand and that If they wanted to give
the largest return and the greatest Sc
surity to their policyholders, the Afro
American should ally itself with some
larger company.
They turned to the North Carolina
Mutual, the largest Negro life insur-
ance company in the world. In such
splendid condition We're the affairs of
these two companies that a reinsur-
ance plan was Immediately effected
and approved by the commissioner of
insurance of the state of North Caro-
lima. The policyholders of the Afro
American will, therefore, in the future
pay all premiums to the North Caro-
lima Mutual and look to that company
for the settlement of claims
The North Carolina Mutual has $685.
999,996 worth of insurance in force. 1t
has assets amounting to S1,6S7619. 1t
has paid in death and sick claims to
policyholders during the last twenty
four years approximately S40OO,00O. 1t
maintains a reserve fund, for the pro-
lection of policyholders, that equals
81 ,4S1, ,70o76. 1t has lent more than
$1,000,000 to finance Negro homes and
business enterprises.
