The seventh annual report of the Federal Reserve Board by its agent
is out. Tne report is for the year 1921. and is mainly for the San Francisco
district. On page 14 i> a table which the uninitiated in banking can under
stand and appreciate Earnings and expenses are given for the years 1919,
1»20 and 1921. The net earniugs for 192U are nearly 100c; more than for
1919; those for 1921 are less than for 1919. In current expenses the cler
ical staff increased the expenses from $491.''27 in 1919 to $1,6S7,043 In
1921, while the total current expenses increased from $1,431,755 in 1919
to $3.Sl6.jit>4 In 1921. or pi h t;cally lot' , in two years. The total earnings
in 1921 were $2,166.1 v more tl'an in 1919. yet the net earnings available
lor dividends. surplu> ..ud franchise tax was $406.*60 less for 1921 than
for 1919.
Some difference! Should that rate be maintained, how long will it ba
before Congress will have to appropriate money to make up a detlcit? On
page 36. table Q. the number of officers and employes and salaries are giv
en for 1920 and 1921. The total increase here is 135. yet the total
increased expense is $442.S9S. In a note it is stated that the staff was re
duced 39. with annual salaries of $5$.440. but under "Other Officers" ii
th s same table an incr from 29 to 33 s: ows an increase in salaries o:

The Reserve Bank is a comparatively new institution of the govern

WHO AMONG l"S IS A GKKATKIt GENII s?—|- is doubtful If there is any
other small city of a few thousand inhabitants on the American continent
that contain:) So many men and women of genius and particular accom
plishment as can he found in Juneau The various rubiic affairs during
the past week strongly su^g-'at this thought. And in selecting the fore
most of these artists public opinion would undoubtedly agree on vVillis E.
Nowell He posse>ses a mastery over the stri. -j of a violin that entities
him to rank among the fen greatest interpreters ai.d solo performers of the
a«e.
He was at the zenith of his career twenty-five years ago. after years
spent with the greatest masters in Germany. Ttien for several yens ne
toured the American cit es and made frequent trips to European centers,
with the leading concert companies of thai day. When constant devotion
to his art caused a break in his health he was "nduced by his father and
brother, then big mining operators, to come to Juneau for a long rest.
Gradually the lure of the North became so thick in his blood thai he was
fain to depart to the lauds of greater glory.
The organization of a transportation company and the exploration ot
mining fields soon so absorbed him that he decided to give up in assured
musical career. So W illis Nowell has continued to be one of the accom
plished and sociable gentlemen of Juneau. who only occasionally gives the
public or his personal friends a delightful treat, when he lakes hold Jf one
of his valuable "Sirads" and rend.-rs those melodious vibrations that at all
times characterize him as a genius with soulful interpretation.
For some time past Mr. Nowell has been the representative in this sec
tion of the Territory for the Alaska Steamship company. And at the same
time he has been developing a mining property on Kunter Bay that is rich
In gold quartz. Much development work has been done and the erection
uf a mill for the extraction of values promises soon to bring the material
returns which Mr Nowell so richly deserves. Possibly no man in this sec
tion of Alaska has more devoted and appreciative friends than ne, and they
will all glory iu t'.e good fortune which they hope may soon come to Wil
li*.—Juneau Sunday Cap.tal.
Nearly one thojsard travelers passed thru Seward in Anril. going and
coming to and from the States. At u'o time iu its history uas the spring
-ash started as early as this year. The men coming in from all stations in
life, railroading workers, mechanics, ris eimen. laborers and capitalists,
all anxious to invest their time and money iu Alaska for a fair return.
That they will receive a quid pro quo for tneir labors is certain. No coun
try on the face of the globe today offers so much for a minimum of lubor.
In no country can the settler tind the freedom that exists here. The water
and climate are healthful, the days are long and sunshiny in the summer
and exhilarating iu the wiuter. and living is very reasonable, considering
the distance from wholesale markets.—Seward Gateway.
A match started it! The result: A great forest fire which destroyed
timber and property, drove away wild game and turned hunting and camp
ing grounds into desolate wastes. The lesson. Ureak your match in two—
