Erery effort was made yesterday
by patriotic citizens of Skagway
and through the untiring efforts of
tae Bank of Alaska to pell Liberty
Bonds, with the result that more
thau $11,000 worth were sold at
th* bank alone In addition to those

railroad. The total amount of
tiondt, bought in Skagway to date
equal* $23,000 and lu. addition
theu are promises of more during
th« next day and a half. This
amount of money, however, does not
r«pi«seut the total number of bonds
oo'-i, for many of our citizens, h.av
lv« money on deposit in bank^ iu
tas States, purchased their bonds
thei». it is estimated that the to
tal purchase of bonds by Skagway
citizens will pasi $30,000.
Although no special patriotic
meeting was held in this city,
prominent men of Skagway yester
day devoted their entire time to
j>ersonai tollcitation and the re
sult* were more than gratifying,
perhaps even greater than If Bkag
way had held a special gathering
for the one purpose of raising suD
scr'ptious to the bonds.
Advantage is being taken of the
offer made by the White Pass to
its employed and by one of Sk»g
way's citizens to purchase bonds
'on the installment plan, making it
possible £or practically every one
to purchase a bond in some amount.

soldiers at the fort are aiding their j
government by the purchase of.
