"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
THE WORLD'S BEST IXVETS.
ME XT.
A bond for rich and poor alike!
I'ncle Sam say*:
"1 want to see a liberty Inmtl
It. every American home."
1. safe—Like a mortgage i>« tlie
U. 3. A.—Your bond is a promise
to pay ©uthorized by Congress and
ttigned by the Secretary of the
Treasury. This boad issue was au
thorized by our Congress, by all our
435 Representatives, whom we elect
ed, and by all our f6 Senators,
without a dissenting vote. I The
Secretary of the Treasury arranged
the details and executed thp or
ders of ^ur Congress. His signa
ture is ou the bonds. That means
that the proaisie to pav back is
signed by all our one hundred and
tea million American people, in
cludlne every multimillionaire in
the country. The bond is iike a
mortgage on every acre of ground
every wheat 6tack, every burn and
building from coa^t to coast.
2. "Safety first."—This is a time
to "olay safe." Just because we
do ao» know -what is coming, just
for that reason, we all should
save our money and put it in the
safest place possibly. And what
other Place is there as safe as the
Treasury of the United States?
3. oafe-keepiug.—Put the bond
lu any honest banker's vaults; he
will gladly accommodate small in
vestors free of charge. Then all
worry ceases. There In- the vault
ycur Dond rests in absolute safety,
for the banker can not use this
bond a« he useb the money lent
tim lor deposit. He is simply
keeping another man's receipt for
money that man has already de
posited In the Treasury of the Un
ited States. If the bank goes
bankrupt, your bond is still there
iu the vaults and belongs to you,
the owner, lying there as safe as
on the lirst day.
4. Convertible privilege — gives
the owner the right to exchange his
4 per cent bond for a bond of th.e
next issue if that bond should al
low a fcigher rate. (Technical de
tails are explained in the Govern
ment circular.) J
5. Pi Ice and profits.—It is un
derstood of course that j United
States Government bond may be
Bold on'an hou'r notice on the open
market, always representing cash.
Or you can borrow on !your bond,
pu a moment's notice any day, more
easily and more quickly than you
can/on life insurance.
6. Tax provisions will be ex
plained at any 'bank to the larger in
restor. Suffice it to say here that
any purchase by any individual up
to $5,000 inclusive Is exempt from
all tut estate and inheritance tax
P-.J i I'..*!* iJ'*!
7. Savings, the essence.—The* men
jsfho managing the government
ar$ !asking every one ofus to lend
£50 or 5100—all that each man or
■womaa caukatford. This loan real
ly means that the Uoveument
trying to Induce the j American peo
ple to save, so that wealth hereto
fore wasted from day to daj-j may
b<j used for national defense. This
does not mean stopping business;
but stopping waste. |
S. Direct to the people.—The Gov
ernment official*; decided that these
bonds shall be sold'direct to the
people without middlemen (the
banker,?, while they deliver | the
bonds, mako no profit on any of
this fcsue). The bankers are
sacrificing their time and lending
tbeir money because the Govern
ment h.is drafted them for this pa
triotic service and also because they
feel,that the public will appreciate
the work of the banker who proves
especially patriotic.
KICHARDSO.X AND
MEHAFFEY TO GO
TO WASHIXGIOX
(Juneau Empire)
Geu. W. P. Richardson has re
ceived orders J from the Secretary
of Wai<to report for temporary ilu-!
ties to the Adjutant General | at,
Washington, D. C., and will leave J
early next week for the South.
Gen. Richardson expects to be in
Washington for tho greater part
of the winter, following his cus
tom of every year since he has been
Iiresideiit of the Alaska Road Com
mission. During his absence Capt.
W. II. Waugh, as the senior officer
on the ground and the engineering
officer of the commission, and Capt.
John Zug, the last made member of
the Commission and the secretary
and disbursing officer, will be 1"
charge of the affairs of the Com
mission. Gen. Richardson remains
President of the Commission, and,
as a consequence, its head.
Orders were also received reliev
ing Major J. C. Mehaffey from duty
as disbursing officer of the Road
Commission and appointing Capt.
Jcha Zug to succeed him in that
position. This morning Capt. Zug
took i ver the accounts of the of
fice and signed the necessary pa
pers, making him the official dis
bursing officer for the Commission.
Major Mehaffey will leave for the
South early next week, probably in
comnaiiy with Gen. Richardson.
The telegram received by Gen.
Richardson said: "Capt. John Zug,
engineering officer Alaska Road
Commission designated as disburs
ing officer Board of Road Commis
-iouer-i for Alaska., secretary ui
War directs as necessary in mili
, tary .-eivi<e ttiat you proceed to
this city and rei>ort to the Adju
tant General for temporary duty."
Both of the.-e orders have been
expec1' •! by Gen. Richardson and
the other members of the Commis
sion for some time. Gen. Richard
son ha-- been looking for orders to
report at Washingtn ever since his
appointment as Brigadier-General,
and ihe selection of Capt. Zug to
succeed Capt. Mehaffey as disburs
ing officer is a part of the general
plan teat has been worked out
some time aso.
This was Capt. Mehaffye's third
year as an egineer officer of the
Road Com mi .sion, and it was un
derstood that it would be his last
when this year's work was arrang
ed at Washington. He was succe
ed as engineer officer of the Com
mission by Capt W. H. Waugh early
ju the month. It was stated at that
time tnat Capt. Zug would prob
ably relieve him as disbursing of
ficer, n i>o..ition Capt. Mehaffey ha9
held e\er since the departure of
Major I". W. Davidson.
After F. 0. White had settled
himself comfortably in room 1"
at the Golden North hotel last
night, having come in on the -2V
emr.g's train he rang for a bell
bc-y, and upon his arrival Mr.
White handed the bov three trunk
checks, and requested that the
pieces of baggage bp brought to
the room.
The boy retired and in a short
time three trunks covered with
dust and cob webs were brought up
to the rcom, and when Mr. White
asked what the charges w-ere, f he
was informed that the bill had not
been tti-dc out yet, but that J it
would net be much, as it wa« only
a witter cf storage on the three
tiunks for seventeen years.
To the spring of 1S97 Mr.; White
can?f» to Stagway and onened the
Scntlle hotel on Bond street (now
Forrth Ave.) and for the next three
vears ho acted the part of host to
his patrons. In 1900 he left here
for Atlin, and after trying his luck
there at mining for two years,
nulled up stakes and went on to
Dawson, where he has remained
ever since, the trip out this fall
being his firfet one to Salt [ water
since 1000.
While in Dawson he managed the
Seattle hotel there, but soon g ave
that up to take up mining. He is
now enroute to Seattle where he
will spend the winter.
