A MATTER OF INTEREST
 THAT IS QUITE INTERESTING
(Valdez Miner.)

For the last two or three years there has been a small epidemic of bond issues by Alaskan towns. Gen. erally these bond issues have been for the purpose of erecting new and improved school buildings, than which there is no more worthy purpose for a bond issue and, of course, issuing bonds is the accepted method of rais- ing funds for national, state, county and municipal purposes. Because this Is the accepted method, few citizens stop to figure what this method costs them
 One of the latest municipalities to vote bond issue is Seward. That town will borrow on it's bonds the sum of Sg0,000 to erect new and un- doubtedly needed school building. That the citizens voted almost unani- mously in favor of bonding the town shows that they are alive to the needs of the rising geheration; that the best is none too good for them. This is as it should be.
 Seward will have this fall a fine school building ready, paid for with $50,000 of borrowed money. But what will Seward have paid for it's $50,00O school building by the time it has repaid the loan?
 Assuming the bonds will bear in- terest at per cent and are to be re- tired in thirty years-one-third every ten years, the people of Seward will have paid during the first ten years the principal sum of S16,666.66 and interest at S3,000 per year for ten years, or S30,00O, total of S46,- 666.66, or s4,666.66 per year.
 During the second ten-year period the principal payment will be the same, but the interest will be reduced to $20,000, or atotal for the second ten-year period of $36,666.66. or S3,- 666.66 per year.
 During the third ten-year period the principal account remains the same, S16,666.66 and the interest is still further reduced to S20,000 for the ten-yea period, making the pay ment for the period S26,666.66, or $2,666.66 per year for the third ten year period.
 Thus when it is fully paid for Sew
  ard will have a $50,000 school build ing for which it will have paid $12O,- GOO, and the building will be thirty years old.

Not To Be Trusted.

Some years ago in. a Western state. then territory, a popular citizen be- came involved with an influential and overbearing character and killed: him.
 Public sentiment leaned toward the defendant, but the law was against him and, when the day of trial came the defendant, his counsel and friends held a consultation, and, fearful of the consequences, they decided that the defendant should plead guilty and beg the mercy of the court.
 The jury was charged by the court and retired. Presently it returned, and the foreman said:
 eve find defendant not guilty"
 The judge viewed the jury in sur prise and said:
 "Gentlemen of the jury, how be it :? This defendant pleads guilty and you find him not guilty?"
 "Well, your honor, the defendant is such a liar we can't believe him under oath.".Ex.
