two months before these accountants
can complete their reports to him on
this matter.
The second check from the direc-
tors was for $l50,000 turned over to
Mr.. Moran in another capacity as
receiver for the Park Savings Bank.
This money will 60 to all creditors of
the bank including the 1929 depos-
itors. But this is not all that is
available for the general credit of
the bank. They will receive also the
$293,00 which has been piled up
since payment of the last vididend
in September. 1884. This makes a
total of s443,0O0 to be distributed to
general creditors of the bank.
This amount is roughly estimated
to be about Is per cent dividend to
the general creditors.
The receivership had previously
paid to these creditors "a per cent of
their funds in the bank, when it
closed in 1898.
Further Assets Remain.
In addition to the funds to be
distributed to the two classes of
creditors, report of the receivers
shows that there is still remaining
in the receivership assets estimated"
to be worth about $75,000 These
assets will be liquidated by the re-
ceiver for the benefit OF depositors
later on.
Mr.. Moran could not estimate to-
day when he will be able to dis
tribute the two different dividends.
On account Of the complicated ac-
counting procedure still under way
there is no definite prediction as to
just when he can write the checks.
But he estimated that 1t probably
would be some time before January
l. This, however, could not be Ger
tainly assured.
The close Of litigation in the Park
Savings Bank case brings to an end
what Government experts have
characterized as the most comph-
Gated defunct bank case in the his
tory of the country. Recovery of
the $500,000 from directors resulted
after a prolonged battle in the
courts started first by a depositors'
committee which later was joined
by the receiver in some cases. The
receiver also instigated some action
of his own.
A battery of counsel for the direc-
tors, the depositors and the receiver
were busy early today preparing
final papers to be presented to Dis
trict Court for final action.
The money had been turned over
by the directors to the National
Metropolitan Bank which drew the
two checks. The directors thus had
the money paid in in advance of the
date. next Monday when, under
previous order of the court. signed
by Justice Oscar r. Luhring, the
funds were to be paid.

Coast Guard Stations
tPetersburg Press)

Petersburg PreSs)
 Just week ago the United States Treasury De- partment asked Congress to authorize $2733000 foi Coast Guard and air station in Alaska Secre- tary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau said the new base would be built at site selected by the Treasury Department deemed most advantageous to serve the interests of the Coast Guard and national defense
 Secretary Morgenthau wrote to Congress that the need for the Alaska base is urgent citing the mpor- tant seal and fishery resources and the recent en- croachment the salmon fisheries
 Furthering the interests of its community in com mendabe style the Ketchikan Chronicle editoriazea in the issue of the date in favor of the base in "Ketchkan or the Ketchkan district"
 Covering the two phases of national defense and Coast Guard facilities the editorial concludes by stat ing that planes operating from here could well cover the shipping lanes of Southeast Alaska in matter of hours"
 One might wonder how a base at Ketchkan would fill the requirements indicated by Secretary Morgen- thau for protection of the fisheries from encroach- ment or for supervision of the seal industry the Pribilof Islands but the editorial points out that naval base will be constructed at Kodiak and the present at Sitka is to be enlarged
 In view of these and the projected Army base at Fairbanks the Chronicle reasons that the Panhandle is the area needing the Coast Guard base We are Petersburg as logical location for the following req sons
 Given certain radius, Coast Guard cutters or planes could cover coastline the First Division operating from Petersburg than from any other city in the Panhandle.
 With some easy dredging between the Citizens and Standard Oil Docks unexceled cutter and sea- plane base could be established.
 Petersburgs harbor is noted along the Alaska coast for it's freedom from strong winds and rough waters; it affords splendid moorng for fishing boats and would give equally excellent facilities for aircraft

drinks per person per call at the establishment would have required that bartenders be 'of gooe character and reputation and would have converted three -fourhs of all the Territorys liquor revenues into enforcement fund.
 The other bill would have established Territorial liquor stores and created the office of Territorial Liquor Administrator at $5,O00 per.
 Another liquor bill, Senator Walkers prohibit ing reopening within 300 feet of any school or church liquor dispensary, which had lost it's license for violating the law, died in the Judiciary Com mittee.
 Longest bill introduced in the Senate this ses- sion thirty -pager creating Industrial Accident Commission, is still in the Mining Committee
 The Finance Committee has a firm grasp on the Fourth Divisions bill to appropriate $7000O for a University of Alaska building program This is Senate Bill No 99 the last one introduced in the Senate.

FRIDAY. MARCH 3 1eaa

According to astrology this is an unlucky day, for adverse aspects rule. Routine work should engage at tention and all risks avoided. Under this rule of the stars the judgment may be faulty. Decisions should be postponed until more helpful conditions prevail
 This is not an suspicious day for commerce. Shipping may be subject to heavy losses through storms or disasters. Vessels belonging to the United States Navy may have unex- pected experiences.
 Propaganda of all kinds will be in circulation and will affect large Am ericana organizations. Secret societies will multiply. s 4s SA
 State and Federal budgets will continue to be unsa atisfactory, es- i pecially for taxpayers. Relief prob lems will not be solved at an early date. Mars, eliminating in the Central States, may encourage strikes, riot ing and sabotage, but there will be supreme efforts to encourage coop eration between employers and em- ployees.
 There is a configuration, read as indicating changes of government personnel. Women may be unfavor- ably affected by the stars.
 In many professions and indus trial enterprises a growing hostility to women in high positions will be evident as competition for high sal aries becomes more intense.
 International affairs will offer lnew complications for the United States. There is sign promising to Mexico and our negotiations with her.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of unexpected good fortune. Strangers will be helpful, to many, but deception will be common. ~
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly intelligent. These sub jects of Pisces usually are dignified and honorable, industrious and suc- cessful.

 Q. Isn't it discourteous for a woman to offer to pay her share of the expenses, when she is the guest of a man at some entertainment?
 A. Yes; it is not only discourte- ous, but humiliating to the man.
 Q. May a divorced woman con- tinue to wear her engagement and wedding rings?
 A. She may if she desires, but it is far better taste not to do so.

 Otherwise unknown to fame, Nicholas L. Quack- enbos became at least a minor celebrity because he died few days ago He had for 69 years commuted by rail from his home in Piermont, N. Y, to his office in Wall Street. But this simple citation for valor leaves much to the imagination.
 Had his travels been along the equator he might have circled the globe thrice. The time he spent in railroad coaches must have been the equivalent of the normal span of life. The elbows that Jabbed his ribs if placed end to end, would reach from the Battery to Southampton. The breakfast coffee he gulped eye on the clock and the other on the morning paper, would float the Queen Mary. But the number of times he narrowly escaped losing an eye the end of an umbrella under the arm of a nice old lady can be computed One pertinent question, however suggests itself. How often in these 69 years of committing did this traveller find seat in the train he boarded?
 Certainly he deserves monument We suggest the design: Homo sapiens, life size, rampant, with doubled fist thrust through clinging strap.
