ev.Je iv"d by the remarkable record
made 'jv the Bank of Alaska duriug
the week. According to the
C'fiic*al statement of the Bank re
quired by the Territorial Banking
act the'r printed statement gave
lurih $64,U0d on dtposft tt the
close of business on May 15th. The
pfi'cidcr.t of the Bank told a. re
porter from the Alaskan this morn
ing that they had on deposit $120,
or double the amount thait they
had two weeks ago.
Oti:er business of the bank has
received as large an influx in pro
portion to its importance and in
dications point to aa exceptionally;
busy siimmcr and fall.

The best way to muke mint sauce Is
with a boiled sugar sirup. Add the
chopped mint to this when It Is hoi

Make the sirup of sugar with enough |

Sitka, Alaska, ajay 6—-Slaoo 11
„euse was denied tq the saloon*. It
Is my candid opinion that Sitka has
greatly improved. Of course there
is no law to prevent the shipping
uf intoxicating liquor, but very lit
tle if oomiug in. Drunkenness is
almost unknown, here. It certain
ly was a pleasure to sec the crews
or various ships of our navy and
coast ashore without restrictions,
and all sober. We navo had a
large number of fishermen here this
spring, and I have seen but one
man &liow signs of intoxication. A
number of Russians who have lived
here a'l their lives have spent a
great part of their time la jail.
Sines the saloons were closed, not
one of them hag been arrested.
Th*y are changed from drunken
vagrants to haTd-workking, well
dressed and well-fed men.
The merchants note that people
of that class are now able to pay
their b'Jls and the r.-omen and chil
dren are the ones who are most
helped.
J stiong public sentiment has
made it easy ea keep out "blind
pigs."
Our native population, when at
horns .are universally sdber. When
th^y go to Juneau they certainly
Use their reputations. So with
out goin«r into any great details I
can say that the abolition of the
saloons was the best thing that ev
er happened to the people of Sitka.
There has been a lot or discus
siou as to the effect of the change
on busiuess. I cannot think it is
right to decide a moral question
ou u basis of dollars and cents;
bu; even from that point of view,
1 must say that prohibition is a
success in Sitka. 1 am told by
the store keepers generally that
• heir ousiness haa greatly improved.
Sorae say that fishermen stay
away from a dry town. This is
a great mistake. Fishermen are
not drunkards as a class. They are
of the very highest type of working
men. They need courage as well
as perfect health to follow their
trad£ I know that the fact that
the town has no saloons is an add
ed attraction to these men and that
they urefer coming to ouchtowns,
other things being equal.
Every individual and every com
munity must settle this question
according as they see It. The fact
remains, so far as Sitka is concren
ed, that everyone Is better off mor
ally and physically and financially.
The only losers are the saloon keep
erns and myself. I lose, because
as Deputy Marshal I keep a prac
tically empty jail.
