ALhSKA'S FU-
TURE ASSURED
Gov. Strong is Optimis-
tic in Annual Report
Conserve the Fish
cries, Build Roads
and Stamp Out Dis
ease Among the Ma
tives

washington, Nov. 1S.-With an op-
linistlc picture of Alaskas future
Governor J. F. A. Strong, in his annu-
al report submitted today to Secretary
Lang, urged that the governor exer-
else closer supervision for the conser-
walton of the territory's wealth of
hsheries, pointed out the need for the
construction of a system of wagon
roads and trails to supplement gov
eminent railroads and declared means
must be taken to stamp out disease
among the native population.
With the promise that the future
holds said Gov. Strong, "and the
exact knowledge of the extent and va
riety of the great mineral and other
resources of Alaska, coupled with the
new broad policy of development which
the government has inaugurated.
Alaska, 1t is confidently believed, will
hereafter occupy an important place
in the mining, industrial and economic
history of the United States.a
1t is estimated that there are now
$4,000 white people in the territory, an
increase of 5000 over last years esti-
mate. The total value of the 1913
mineral output was s19,47o, 1886, and the
total value of the products of the Alas
kan fisheries was 1878, 06S. Both
| showed some declines from the pre-
ceding year. The territory's commerce
in the last fiscal year showed exports
of more than SCI, 600 000-a decrease be-
cause of lesser gold production, while
the United States sold merchandise
worth s21,929, Ago to the territory.
Alaska mineral resources, Govern
or Strong said, awaited development
to restore some of the foreign sup
plies cut off by the European war.
Lack of an adequate coal supply, he
said, had retarded industrial develop
ment. congress recently passed a
leasing bill to open the coal fields in
the far northern territory.
"Alaskas copper production said
Governor Strong, lis now important
and promises to increase largely with
in the coming years. Given a supply of
coke which cannot now be had at
prices which make it available for in
dustrial use, the copper industry
would be greatly stimulated by the
erection of smelters for the treatment
of the ores
The Governor said that the agricul-
tural possibilities of the territory are
beginning to be appreciated. There
are probably 5o,O0o.o0o acres of land
suitable for agricultural purposes, he
said, and millions Of acres adapted for
cattle raising and dairying. Outlining
other sources of natural riches in min
erals and forests the Governor said the
territory must present an inviting
field for the home seeker, for capital
and fer labor, for men of brain and

Increased activity on the farms. in the
factories. and in the great transportation
industries has also developed during the
last half century. The value of farms
and farm property increased from $4,000,

value of manufactures, from $1,000 000, 600
to over $40, 000, 900; and the number of
miles of railway in operation, from 1921
in 1850 to 25S,033 in 1912. In the last quar-
ter-century the number of passengers
carried has increased from 49,, 200, 900 to
1904, 900. 000 and the volume of freight
handled from go. eco to 1876, 000, 900 short

fairly general among human beings,
but that the disturbances it causes
are usually so slight that they are
not brought to the attention of the
family physician. There is, however,
a very good reason for everyone Civ
ing the diseased animals as wide a
berth as possible, namely. that other
wise they may easily carry the dis
ease to perfectly healthy herds. Fed
eral inspectors engaged in the work
of graduating the pestilence are thor
oughly equipped with rubber coats,
hats, boots and gloves, which may
be completely disinfected; and others
who lack this equipment are strongly
urged not to allow their curiosity to
induce them to become menace to
their own and their .neighbors' prop
erty.
The disease, in short, is dangerous
because of the loss that it occasions to
property, and not because of it's eff
fects upon the health of mankind At
present all infected herds are being
slaughtered as soon as they are dis
covered, the carcasses buried, and the
premises thoroughly disinfected I'm
til all danger of infection has been
removed in this way, the local au-
thorities quarantine the milk
Those who wish additional precau-
tons are recommended to use pas
teurized milk, but as has already been
said. this recommendation holds true
whether or not there is any fear of
the foot-and-mouth disease.

PROGRESS OF
UNITED STATES
The Statistical Record
of Advance, 1800-1914
- Growth in Area.
Population, Wealth
and Resources

Washington, Nov. Ian epitomized
record of the nations growth in area,
population and resources is contained in
a pamphlet just issued by the Depart
Foreign and Domestic Commerce, entitled
Statistical Record of the Progress of
the United States, 1S0O-1914" In all cases
where the statistical data permit, the
tables cover more than a century; the
later inauguration of certain lines of
statistics necessarily restricts, in those
cases. the period covered.
half-century retrospect, readily
available by reference to tables appear
ing in the pamphlet. affords a clear per-
spective of the nations growth. Since
1850 the population of the United States
has more than quadrupled, being approx
mately 10O,OO0,000 at the present time In
the same period however, foreign com
merce has grown from $31S, 200, 600 to A,-
25s,0oo,oO0 and the per capita value of ex-
ports from sl6.96 to $2S.27 National
wealth has increased from $1,000 000. 900 In
1870 to approximately $780, 900. oOo, 900; money
In circulation. from $279,OOOOOO to 50, 419, OoO-

approximately 5000. 100000 to over sos, oOo-
100000, while for the entire country bank
clearings have grown from $4,000 OO0, 900 in
1887, the earliest year for which figures
are available, to s1740oo, 100000 in 1913.
Evidences of improved social conditions
among the people are also found In the
Statistical Record For example, TO-
100000 children are now enrolled in pub
lie schools and about 100000 students to
colleges and other higher institutions of
learning, and the total expenditures on
behalf of education now approximate
$500 100000 a year, the result being rapid
increase in general intelligence and a
marked decrease in illiteracy Over o.
900 newspapers and periodicals are dis
seminating information among the peo-
pie. and the report shows steady
growth in the number of libraries in the
country. In 1850 depositors in savings
banks were 251.0O0 in number; today the
number is 100000 with deposits, exclu-

Washington, Nov. 13.-The anxiety
that has been expressed in several
quarters in regard to the effect upon
human health of the present outbreak
of the foot -and- mouth disease is re-
garded by Government authorities as
somewhat exaggerated. The most
common fear is that the milk supply
might become contaminated, but in
view of the precautions that the To-
cal authorities in the infected areas
are very generally taking, there is
comparatively little danger of this
Milk from infected farms is not per-
mitted to be shipped at ALL The only
danger is. therefore, that before the
disease has manifested itself some in
fected milk might reach the market.
For this reason, experts in the u. S.
Department of Agriculture recon-
mend pasteurization. AS a matter OF
fact, however, pasteurization is rec
commended by the Department anyway
for all milk that is not very high
grade and from tuberculin tested
COWS.
1t has been demonstrated by expe-
riments which have been made in
Denmark and Germany that pasteur-
ization will serve as a safeguard
against contagion from the oot-and-
mouth disease just as readily as it
does against typhoid fever, but in any
event it must be thoroughly done
the milk must be heated to las de-
grees Fahrenheit and held at this
temperature for 80 minutes.
In this country the foot land mouth
disease has been so rare that there
are few recorded cases of its trans
mission to human beings In 1902 a
few cases were reported in New Eng
land, and in 1908 in a few instances
eruptions were found in the mouths
of children which were believed to
have been caused by contaminated
milk. In both of these outbreaks, the
sale of milk was stopped as soon as
the disease was found among the cat
