James \V. Hill, sworn, residing
in Seattle: I was one of tin*
pari Here of I he Fairbanks Hank
ing Company, a co-partnership
between Barnelte, Parsons anj
myself. In March, 1008, ihe
Fairbanks Hauking Company, a
Nevada corporation, look over
certain securities of Ihe forme.r
co-parluershi|>. I do not know
what proportion of ihe slock was
p;iid for in money, perhaps $150,
000 ..r s.'Ou.fMM). I believe that
notes were signed for stock which
were! subsequently paid. Some
were not paid and some of them
remained iu tlje hank when I left
in September. 1009. Barnette, II.
C. Wood and myself reecive^l
stock iu the hank. I paid no
cash for mine, to the best of my
Knowledge; neither Barnelte or
Woods paid for their stork, as
the surplus asset* covered I hat
stock, Wfcjod and myself having
I he privilege of buying in up lo
a certain dale. The value of the
assets were based upon a valu
ation placed upon the assets by
a committee of depositors in
1007. The increase of 9100,000 in
the value of the Hold Mar l.uin
) er company's slock was made
by the officers of tho hank upon
the recommendation of « com.
uiittee of the hank's depositors in
100?, when the money stringency
in the slates left the hank willi
oiit currenex and this statement
was ma<le to show the hank's
solvency.

LEWIS TELLS
ABOUT WORK
I
8ev*ard Mass Meeting Not as {
Represented in the Seattle
i
Times.
\V. J. Lewis, the agent l'i»r I li«* j
land office, against whom some :
of the residents of Seward pass- i
••il resolutions objecting to his
methods in (lie handling of his i
department, is now in town and to !
a representativ <>f tin* I'rospel-I
or said: "It is true that llu*
people of Seward mH and pass
ed resolutions; hut it is not true
as stated in llu? Seattle Times |
thai I was comh'innrd, n«»r is!
there any great difference • • I"
opinion biMwocn I lie peoph' «»f
Seward and myself in the mai
ler of the* euforeeincnt of the
! law, hut to those whose inter
ests lia\e been hurl by the op
erations of the law, considerable
|opposition has manifested it
self.
"I.el 111• • explain (lie milure ami
object of tin* timber laws and
regulations. In tin- first place,
[any resilient of Alaska can rut
or have oil 00 cords of wood, or
30,000 feet of lumber, or part
\\oo«l an,| part lumber, without
any interference from the gov
ernment. This is supposed to
he all any one person will need.
If it is lint then it should he
raised.
"Men may go in the business
and sell wood, hut I hey must
cut und.-r a permit granted thein
by the lantj department. The
reason of this provision is that
the government wish to have the
cutting of wood to follow some
reasonable rules and regulations.
For instance, they do not wish
saw logs cut and sold for fire
wood because saw timber is
scarce in this country, nor do
they wish to have good timber
wood cut and left on the ground
to rot.
"It hns heen said by many that
all lb.- waste in Alaska does not
compare with the drop of wa
ter iu the sea, but unfortunately
the waste is all near towns and
the most accessible places are
ruined by indiscriminate meth
ods, to the loss of all.
"No interference hJ\> ever
been made by the land depart
ment with the u.se of timber for
tin' development of mining prop
erl> and it is not the policy of
our department (Jo hinder, hut
it is rather our aim to aid io
I lie d- velopmeiil cf the natural
resourees «>f the country."
It costs you loss to stop at
"The Cliff" than it does to rent
and heal a cabin, and you have
a nice warm, clean room to dress
in. No fires or cares al all to
attend to.
"The Professor" tonight' at
8:15 al Eagles hall.
