ALASKA PACK IS NOW OVER SIX
 MILLION MARK
Wingard Estimates T Tot al Season s Pack Will Again
 Exceed7, 100000 Cases

With complete, figures compiled through, last Saturday on the sal mon pack in Alaska, it is revealed by L. G.

 In the last 20 years there have been only four. years in which the total pack exceeded six million cases, Agent Wingard said, and 1884 was the only one over seven million, the exact figure that year being 7,481 900 cases.
 With the fishing bearing up well, 1t is now a certainty that AL aska will put up it's second seven million cases in its history, the Agent said, and he estimated that it would be in the neighborhood of 7,225 ,000 cases.

 "The transactions of both the bank and mercantile houses have extended over a wide range of country, helping to develop its great fishing and mining indus tries. Many concerns can look back with satisfaction to the occasion when they felt the magic touch and helping hand of MT. Behrends, as their success really dated from that time. By his fair dealings he has won a record for highest integrity and is looked up to and honored both at home and abroad In addition to his daughter, Mrs J. F. Mullen, his grandchildren Ben, Beatrice, Virginia Mullen, and Judge Mullen, his son-in-law, MT Behrends is believed survived by a sister in Nebraska.
 MT. Behrends was a member of the Mt. Juneau Lodge of Masons and was the oldest Past Master of that lodge, and was instrumental in its organization; having taken his early degrees in masonry be- fore coming to Alaska. He was also a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason
 A year ago local Masons gave a dinner and celebration in his hon. or on his 50th anniversary ir masonry.
 He was a long time member oi B. P. O. E. Lodge No APO, ir Juneau.

During MT Behrends annual extended buying and business trips relative to both his mercantile and banking business both institutions functioned with precision through local employees who had received their training from the head of the firm so many years.
 Business in Excellent Shape
 Relative to far sightedness of MT. Behrends in his business deal ings, MT McNaughton and MT. Cleveland, said today:
 MT. Behrends with his usual business acumen and great care of those, who placed their con- fidence in him, left the bank, of which he was so proud, in an ex- ceedingly sound, liquid condition and with the largest resources in its history since it was first found- ed by MT. Behrends in 1891"
 They also stated:
 That the general mercantile business, which MT. Behrends in- corporated in 1904 under the name of The B. M. Behrends Co. is also in unusually excellent condition"
 In The Pathfinder" published in Valdez in 1920. the publication says relative to MT. Behrends:
 Among the bankers and mer- cantile men of Alaska, MT B. M. Behrends of Juneau is far the most

widely known in financial circles of the business world. His bank easily takes the lead of all others in the Territory in amount of deposits and capital stock"
 In the 1915 Development Edition of The Daily Alaska Empire, Gov John W. Troy, then editor, wrote:
 Empire Builder
 MT. B. M. Behrends long ago ceased to be a mere local figure. His courage, his faith in Alaska and his known financial strength and business integrity have caused those in the financial world else- where to think of him when big Alaska things are being considered. In the largest meaning of the term, B. M. Behrends is an Empire Builder. He is made of the sterling stuff that has characterized so many of the pioneer developers whose orderly minds and untiring work have contributed cohesion and sound business principles to the March of Empire from the At lantic to the Pacific. He is big man who has played a large part in laying the foundations of Al aska'S future"
 Community Worker
 In addition to his business inter ests MT. Behrends was always g consistent worker for the com munity and the Territory He serv- ed as City Treasurer of Juneau for number of years, and in ad- dition to having been consistent worker in the Chamber of Com merce, served that body as Presi- dent, taking active part in con structive municipal affairs. i Since 1914 he has been Chairman of the Juneau Chapter of the Am erican Red Cross, and carried through the arduous work that position called for during the wal years, and since.
 MT Behrends was one of the leading members of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, since it's founding in the early sos. ] His countless acts of kindness anc philanthrophy are known to thou sands and need no comment

Banking Board are profoundly shocked. by the untimely death of MT. B. M Behrends," said Oscar Olson Territorial Treasurer and Secretary of the Territorial Bank ing Board We regard MT. Beh- rends as the leading banker of i the Territory of Alaska His bank I ing methods were of the best. His bank offered ample security and | perfect service to all depositors and | excellent banking service to the gen. eral public"
 CHARLES GOLDSTEIN Charles Goldstein, pioneer mer- chant and fur dealer;
 My friendship with B. M Beh- rends began nearly half century ago. We had arrived in Juneau a year previous to MT Behrends' ar rival in Juneau. have done busi- ness with him from the beginning and banking with him over a period of 36 years.
 q have never had a better man to deal with, and never expect to have another like him. He was one of the best friends I ever had. While at times we were both in the merchandising business, this did not interfere at all with our banking relations"
 H. [. FAULKNER
 MT. Behrends was one of the first friends I made when I came to Juneau in 1907 as a young man, and I have always considered him the best said H. L. Faulkner, Ju- neau attorney. His death came as a great shock, and it is difficult for me to realize that he is gone
 No man in Alaska could have been taken at this time whose pass ing will leave so great a vacancy or whose place it will be so inn possible to fill. I believe that his influence in my life was probably more valuable to me than that of any other man; and I know that it was the same with the com munity at large. Juneau has never suffered before so great loss.

 T consider him one of the out standing citizens of Al/ka. A wonderful man, and a wonderful friend said R. J. Sommers.
