THE B M. BEHRENDS BANK
Juneau, Alaska
OLDEST AND LARGEST BANK IN ALASKA
A consistent policy pursued for more than a quarter of a
century has been rewarded by steady and substan
tial growth until this Bank has now over
one and one-half million dollars re
sources and depositors in
every part of the
Territory
He Had No Bank Account
He had some money—but he had no Bank Ac
count. He could not see the need of one. He
had a splendid chance to enlarge his business
and make big money. He had not enough cash
on hand. He was unable to borrow any from a
Bank, because as he kept no Bank Account the
Bank knew nothing about his financial respon
sibility.
Does This Mean You?
OUR TOTAL DEPOSITS ARE NOW OVER $413,000.00
We Are Growiner Daily, Why Not Open An
Account and Grow With Us?

Alatliu, is a visitor for a, short'
time iu Skagway. she, arrived kere

Aii&s Cashuuan is truly tie pio
neer of pioneers in Alaska. Bray
inj; the danger audi uncertainties of
'he earlier timag, slwa mushed to
the iatcvior via Wraageli over the
o'Je!riu<^ Riveir Route. Tliia was
in tiie early '74s, The business
instincts of this remarkable woman
began, to spur her on toi activity.
Sliw* opened up a grocery business
in liawson. This was) carried along
w'th mining interests' whichl she
formed in that distiict. Later she
branched out and e»iteered the Fair
banks field aud made <i decided sue
cots in business, lines. It became
her ambition to make a strike and
following tho 1 iiiOb of her pet hob
bv she mushed into the; big Koyu
kuk region, where she has been
itudjing and getting control of a
group of mines. In all she has
spent eleven vears in the lvoyukuk
teficii.
Miss Cashmau reports that in all
there are probably 2500 or 3000
claims staked in the region. At
leas' 1000 of tha claims are work
ing either in the process of de
velopment tr in actual mining. A
large British company has taken, an
op»icn on six claims adjoining lier
yrrpc-.t.'ts and p»id $200,000 for
the option. It is her opinion that
the next year will witness many big |
>trikcs in 'he region.
Iu speaking cl~ the conumons
north o" the Arctic! Circle, Miss
Cashing, represents than as the
very best The people! are sociable,
hosriiablo ami have a highly de
veloped community spirit whicJi cot
troli the actions of the majority
of tiie pioneers in that section. In
tht» winter time mail reaches) thoni
twice a month via dog1 teams which
come in over the massive spans of
ice.
Vegetation in the summer mouths
is flourishing. All of tho neces1
«ary garden vegetables, such as
radishes, cabbages, :>o'utoe.«, celery
a.;;', ^uiilen true vegetation is rais
ed in abundant quantities. The gen
eral formation cf the land is roll
ing. While only in the stages of
a pioneering existence the land of
fers a wonderful possibility / for
raining men.
Miss Cashman anticipates return
ing fc the district this spring. She
will go in oil, a dog team over the
ice. Truly remarkable is the
record which she huq carved out for
; hers el'" in the far away northern
, lands. These who know her, love
her, others are bound to admire her.
Pilmioli's Mark.
Any sailor will tell you that tlie
plimsoll is a conspicuous mark on the
hull of a vessel, usually an oval or
eclipse of white paint with an arrow
drawn through it to indicate the ex
treme water line when the ship has
been loaded. As long as the plimsoll
mark shows above the water the bur
den of freight in the ship's hold is
not too great for her carrying capacity.
The curious word is the badge of im
mortality of a phi'authropist, Samuel
Plimsoll, who was born in Bristol,
England, tn 1S24. When he went into
the coal business he learned of the hor
rible conditions under which the men
of the British merchant marine had to
work. Owners iigured that it was
cheaper to lose an occasional ship with
all on board than to restrict the load
aud make the voyage reasonably safe.
In order to thwart this rapacity Plim
soll entered parliament in 1S<5S. His
persistent work resulted in the pass
age of the "merchant shipping net" in
1STG to prevent ships from going to sea
in an unsafe condition.
Hetty Green's Firmness.
Hetty Green nearly brought ColHs.P.
Huntington to ruin owe. She had
$1.(100.000 deposited in one of his banks
ami found that he was using the
bank's money in investments that she
regarded as ticklish, lie -ides, there
had been deals in which she thought
she Lad cause to make Huntington sit
up ar.d take particular notice of her.
She appeared before an officer of the
brnk. a Mr. Stewart, and said:
' "I'd like my money right away—not
in cheeks; in cash, please."
"Is there no other way. Mrs. Green?"
he asked, beginning to perspire.
"None," said she. "Cash, please."
She got it—after a scurrying of
many bank messengers—in all kinds
of money and in such bulk that four
messengers had to carry it for her, the
while the rumor got out that Hunting
ton was going to smash. As a matter
of fact he did have a narrow escape
