BflNKERSUKELr
TO ORGANIZE
A movement is on foot locking
toward the organization of an Al
askan Bankers' Association. All of
the institutions along the coast
have been broached on the subject
and are enthusiastically in favor of
the idea. The matter will now he
submitted to the Interior ba-nks,
and if agreeable to them a parman.
en> organization will Immediately
be effected.
The following banks have signi
fied 'heir desire to join such an, or
ganization: Miners and Merchants,
K^-ichikan; First National and B.
M. Be'nrends, Juneau; First Terri
torial Douglas; Bank of Alaska,
Sk*gwav. Wrangell and Anchorage;
First Bank of Cordova; First Bank
of Valdez; Seward Bank and Hairri
maa National, Seward; Bank of An
chorage.
The idea is to promote the gen
eiai welfare and usefulness of the
banks of the territory, and to se
cure uniformity of action, together
w>' h the practical benefits to be de
riv ^d ■from personal aoquantance
and from the discussion of subjects
of importance to the banking and
commercial interes's of Alaska;
and specially in order to secure th)
proper consideration of questions
regarding the financial and commer
cial usages, customs and laws which
affect *he banking1 interests, and
for the protection against loss by
crime.
The need of some suoh protec
tive association is becoming more
apparent each, day to those inter
ested, and as scon as the matter ha
been laid before the First National
and American banks, at Fairbanks,
the Miners and Merchants bank at
Iditan. d, and the Alaska Banking &
Safe Deposit Company and Miners
and Merchants bank at Noime and
they favor the plan, an association
will be formed.

ited States tipped his hat to a
ne<rro whea Secretary Seward chose
not to se>6 Mm algo proves his at
, titude toward- those* whom lie
might, have held as is Inferiors.
Lincoln was looked upon by for
eign nations as the greatest Ameri
can. They love him and in. one
nation at least hie birthday has
been celebrated. He was kind-heart
ed and forgiving.
$ There were many desertions from
the army, and military law required
thar all deserters should be Bhot.
, But President Lincoln's big heart
had pity for the young fellows, and
he pardoned so many that the army
> officers were alanmed.
"If a man had more than one
life," he said on one occasion, "I
think a little ehoo'ing would not
bur" this one; but aftre he is once
i dead we cannot bring him back, no
ma'ter how sorry we may be. So
the boy must bs pardoned."
Many an instance of his kind
heartedness has been told. Once
when he and some friends were
out driving they saw a pig stuck
fast in the mud With only his head
out. The mud was almost hub-deep
but Lincoln, paid to his friends
that bo must rescue the pig. His
friends remonstrated1 but Lincoln,
fel* that it was worth hi# get
ting spattered "with mud.
In Lincoln's Second Inaugural Ad
dress he said, ".With malice to
ward none, with! charity for all, let
us strive toj finish! the wwk we are
in," "to do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting peace
among ourselves, and with all na
tions.".
Therefore it ia but proper that
as Lincoln was so great a man;
somebody hag called hiTr1 "The First
Great American," and as he is the
embodiment of what this nation is
and strives to be, it is but our
duty to celebrate the day of his
birth, and that all should know
more about hto.
Lincoln's greatness and pojpular
Jtv are increasing, threefore the en
thusiasm with which we observe the
day should be an evidence of our
greater patriotism. 1
