Tourists keep going to the pic
turesque Virgins in ever increas-

age is getting worse. The barge,
even when not laid up for plug
ging leaks, can carry enough
water to last only one day in the
one town Of Charlotte Amalie. So
the Governor and the Depart
ment Of Interior are thinking
about maybe distilling sea water.
The Investigators said they'd done
nothing about this yet, except
think.
The rum situation is sorrier
still. It used to be that the Vir-
gin Islands Company under COM
mand of Honest Harold Ickes
turned a nice penny Tor Uncle
Sam growing sugar, boiling this
into molasses and distilling the
latter into rum under the Gov
eminent House label.
The drys here in the States said
they were sympathetic to the
residents of the Virgin Islands,
but they did not see how Uncle
Sam in good conscience could
manufacture the Demon Rum and
peddle it to the thirsty ones on
the mainland. They said they
were taxpayers and they intend
ed to have none of their money
spent promoting rum. Uncle

If it's not water, it's rum. Let
us first consider the water, which
is scarce in the beautiful Virgins.
The rum is plentiful.
An official report of the Con-
~gressionaH committee on govern
ment operations charged that
Gov. Walter A. Gordon and help
ers decided last year to get a self
propelled barge from the Navy to
haul water over from Puerto Rico.
The Navy offered it free, if the
Governor would pay Quitting
expenses. This he did and was
about to put it in service when
his harbor master decided a tug
boat with a separate barge would
be better. The Governor agreed
and he got a bill from the Navy
for taking the first ship out of
mothballs and putting it back in
again for $50, 743.99.
Capt. Benz. R. Yates, who
figures a tug and barge were best,
found this seagoing combination
in Baltimore, Md. The Governor
paid $4,000 for the tug and
SIT, 900 for the barge, which ar
rived in st. Thomas on June 6,
1857. The barge had sprung a
number of leaks, while the tug
had a busted propeller. Repairs
cost $~24.410.06.

At the Special General Share
holders Meeting of Virgin Islands
National Bank, held here last
Thursday afternoon, July 18th,
900 per cent of the outstanding
shares were represented and, by
unanimous vote, it was resolved
to issue 500 new shares of Com
mon Stock at a par value of $4,000
for sale at $4,000 to increase the
capital of the bank to $225 600,
and the Surplus to a like amount.
These shares will be available to
shareholders of record at a ratio
of one share for each eight shares
of stock held as of June Both.
In his maiden address to the
shareholders as President, Mr.. D.
Victor Bornn, who assumed the
office on July 1st, reported on the
progress of the bank in the first
half of 1857 as evidenced by the
financial statement submitted to
the shareholders attending the
meeting. In this report, he stated
that the most significant thing
that has happened since the An
nual Meeting in January was the
utilization of the bank with the
Federal Reserve System by asso-
citation with the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York. He called at
tention to the fact that Virgin
Islands National Bank is the first
bank in all the island possessions
of the United States to become a
member of Federal Reserve.
Neither in Hawaii, Puerto Rico
nor the Virgin Islands is there
another member bank. Virgin Is
lands National Bank has gained
the distinction of being Member
Number One in all the overseas

of the United States as evidenced
by the following excerpt from an

Governor Hartman made hui
morous references to some Of the
statements made by MI. Alexan-

had no thought of retiring" he
said, "but I like the idea of COM

said, we wanted to come for many

much about it from our friends
and from the fine Virgin islanders
who live in New York City and
other parts of New York, and
there are many of them that are
professional men and many of
them are in industry, and they
are now part and parcel of our

said: Il do not know what I per-
