MORE ABOUT BANKS

ilW.
 It would be interesting to know where these banks are located for business conditions there must be exceptional in that it appears very large amounts, exceeding $10O,0O0 in each case, is invested in bonds and warrants; this is highly desir- able from a bank safety viewpoint, since it operates as a substantial secondary reserve, but the commun- ity business loans run into relative fly very small figures, so that the banks can hardly be of much local service. The law requires a 2O% reserve against demand deposits, anl conservative banks aim to carry that cash reserve against ALL de- pOsits, as we'll as some high class bonds as secondary reserve in event of sudden and unexpected withdraw s,ls. Frequently such bonds are in fact in use to secure certain of the deposits

Evidences is now at hand indicating that every other trolling ground will be we'll crowd ed with s-migratory, f1y-by- night birds from Puget Sound And these trollers in turn backed by a strong organization is crowding tho local fishermen out of the field. These nonresident trollers are protected by resident laws" in the States of Oregon and Washington. An Alaskan may not go to either of those states and fish unless and un- til he has qualified by residence of { one year in those States. The men from those States come to Alaska and by intensive fishing, dep1ete the
 waters of salmon, take their earn
 ings to the States and leave Alaskan trollers and businessmen holding all empty sack.
 The curtailed earnings of resi-
 cent fishermen makes living condi- tons for them harder; the residet
 businessman must carry the trolleH

It is shown that mur- der in the United States is no longer crime of passion" The hiring of gunmen, killers" and so on, is now a matter of commercialism to get the other fellow out of the way. And such gunmen do not come so ligh as has been shown in records
 Chicago which is one of the worst stump holes of crime in the United States shows 563 criminal homicides during the year 1925 and only 102 were received in various penal insti- tutlosn having been convicted Of murder, and 48 for manslaughter. Some of which convictions, it is safe to say were not committed during that year.

BUREAUCRATS ABOVE THE LAW

When the law contravenes the whims of the buric rats, the make effort to sweep the law aside. That was made plain when Governor Parks made effort to change the Or ganic Act which prohibits specific ally the payment of territorial funds to a federal employee.
 It is further evidenced in the flushing up of game law violations by the brown carpet bag.
 1t was made plain when the dis trict attorney himself not a resi- one year as required by law, went hunting with Brown and others on the U. s. Marshal's boat Helmar.
 It is made more pronounced when residents are prosecuted and per- secuted for minor violations-the same violations of carpet baggers.
 A United States marshal can kill or have killed for him any kind of deer Or number of deer with im- punity; he can feed it in a federal boarding house" but if the restuar- ants or private boarding houses do it, they must be prosecuted.
 Justice be damned when the machinery of the courts is perverted to the personal benefit of imported carpet bag Broken Arches who spend Territorial tax moneys for supplies wholesale in Seattle because local dealers charged to damned much" for their goods-as did MT. Brown when he purchased more than s15O. worth, from wholesalers in Seattle. in one lot alone last fall.
 When will it end, where and how is the question that Alaskans ask when they learn of all these fool tricks by professional imported, broken arch gumshoers

MEMORIAL DAY FORGOTTEN

Except for closing of the sev eral stores and places of business, and pleasure trips by local people on the 3Oth of May, it could not be said that there was such a day as Memorial Day, a day to commem- morate the spirit of heroes of the past and in remembrance of those things for which tthey sacrificed their all.
 It is a disgusting fact that toe many Americans look upon our na- tional holidays as days upon which they must make good money" from the trade; days upon which to speed up and drum up business rather than days in which to stop in re- ;lospection; and days especially set apart by national enactment to keep alive the spirit of those who had made their supreme sacrifice.
 In some quarters Memorial Day whose lives have been given to keep alive those ideals which which have been passed down through the years It means day when we hallOW the memory of the honored dead by placing upon their graves 8 wreathe g flower, a flag and upon the water g wreathe for those who had honor. ed the country and flag.
 It is to be hoped that this purely American custom will not be fore gotten in the hurly burly, scurr, of life of these days.

A COMMUNICATION FROM CHINA
Shanghai, China

Editor Petersburg Alaskan:
 Petersburg, Alaska
 Dear Sir:
 Herewith is a copy of my Chris tian Almanac. It may interest you. ] send a Chinese fre-god. His name is "Ho-zwen-bu-sah." He rules fire When he's displeased with people he sets their houses afire. Ho- gwen was a Taoist priest; but dur ing a great battle he changed him self into a giant with three heads and six arms. He has three eyes, one in the middle of his forehead. He has red hair and he has fiery disposition He rides on a fiery horse which snorts flame, and fire flashes from his hoofs. In the gods six hands he carries a heaven-wide flashing seal, a wheel of five fiery dragons, gourd enclosing 10000 fire crows, and two swords, and a thousand-mile smoke screen filled
 0ith swords of fire. No wonder he can scatter fire everywhere and do untold damage when on rampage
 People in whose house he starts d fire are not welcome in other homes
 est, in so doing, they bring Ho- zwen's wrath upon themselves also People where fire starts hurry +o the temple and plead with Ho-zwen to leave their house at once. When he leaves they thank him for punish ing them. Ho-zwen-bu-sah is much feared, also, because of the danger to the one in whose house the fire starts, for if it spreads to other
 houses and he is found, his neigh
 ors throw him into the fire fo: bringing loss ito tenn. So he runs away and is not seen again or comes back only after long time. When the houses are rebuilt the old rub
 bish is put on his lot!
 You would be greatly interested 10 see a Chinese fire and the. fire fighters at work. Crowds of fire- men come each with a long name banner. These banners are left in line against the walls of the narrow streets near the fire. One set of men are carriers having poles with a bucket on each end Of the pole.

THY BROTHERS BLOOD

Human life in America is cheap. Conviction for homicide in any sec- tion of the United States is mighty uncertain. We have the doubtful honor of leading all nations in homi- eide. It is not even denied.
 A survey of 30 cities recently made by Frederick Hoffman, statis tician for the Prudential Insurance Company, show conclusively that sense of reverence for human life has been measurably dulled. The trend of homicide rate in the United States is upward rather than down

Ahead of each carrier runs a man With a gong beating wildly to make way for the carrier as he brings the water from a creek or canal CT we'll near by. He dumps the water into the hand-pump which forces the water up a spout on to the fire. This pump working re- inds one of an old railroad hand car. Wealthy men often keep {, hand-pump in their own home; but lest the ire-god give the pump york to do there is written on it. -r-peh-yong prepared put may 1t not be used. A fire in China is ] noisy, exciting and very primitive thing in it's method of extinguish- ing, but fierce in it's burning.
 While tthe fire is burning some times theatricals are held on the street. These are to please the god of-ire and get him to go back home At other times, when people fear troubles are coming, they buy Q paper image of the fre-god and burn false money, incense, ani candles before it and then burn the image itself. This is sending him home with spending money and fra grance to keep him from starting other fires.
 I asked the Chinese if the fire sod lit a recent fire on ship. They answered, If there was fire on the ship the fire-god must have been there-at work We have towers in Shanghai where men watch for fires. When one is discovered the fire-b bell is rung. When the old Gus ton. House was built large clock was placed in it's tower. For some weeks after this clock began to strike the hours there were few if any fires. The Chinese said it was because the fire-god thought that every time the clock struck there was a fire announced so he could rest without helping. All these things seem ridiculous to us but they are very real to the Chinese. Chinese life and atmosphere is chuck full of such superstitions Chinese are never free from them and the anxiety they bring-like a super stitous man forced to spend the night in a haunted house. Wheu the Gospel comes the believer goes free. For he knows the Truth that makes him free indeed.
 Yours in Christ's glad service,
