directly interested in them have recently taken on new attitude as to the future. This applies particularly to the mining and the textile industries. Earnest efforts are being made to correct the ills and improve the general situation.
 American business has shown substantial gains, and with the purchasing power of our workers growing more and more significant each year, we have the right to forecast, for the coming year, even greater success in the industrial and business fields. In fact, see no reason why the present business sftuation generally should not grow more and more favor able; and in some specific indus tries we may see considerable inn provement come to pass.
 The spirit of cooperation and of good will which has brought the nations employers and employees into harmonious relationship. with greater productive impetus and in creasing benefits to all, is, I firm< ly believe, 2 yintue upon which we have laid hold with the view to retaining it permanently in our future plans, and efforts in the promotion of peaceful industry and good business throughout the na-

FINANCES ARE IN FINE SHAPE
 FOR THIS YEAR
Territory Enters New Year in Strong Financial
 Position, Says Smith

The Territory of AlasKa today was in the soundest financial position in a decade. it was indi- cated by statement issued by Walstein c. Smith, Territorial Treasurer The cash balance in the treasury as of December 31, 1928 was $657,67S.57, and in addition there was $s1,00O in the Pioneers Home Building Fund, making the total assets $73S,- H67S.57.
 This is slightly less than the cash on hand as of December 31, 1927 when the records show a balance of $772,25S.59, but it is an improvement over 1926 when the balance was $614,O10.07 without any sinking fund for the Pioneers Home.
 The improvement was made despite the lean year in the fish cries industry in 1927 when the salmon pack was the smallest in many years. 1t was indlcated that the treasury would enter the fiscal year, beginning April n, 1929. with a balance in excess of $1,25O,000 Taxes from the |salmon packing industry are largely lacking but will be re- lceived before March | As the 1928 pack was cne of the largest in the Territory's history the taxes will be correspondingly heavy. On March 31,. 1928, the treasury balance was $1,223- I079.75, and on March 31, 1927, it was s1,374,460.4S. Mr. Smith believes it will Sexceed both fig ures on March 31, of tlis year.

 On Diseases in Youth


 NEW YORK, Jan. 1 live re- suits of disease. tendency to get angry easily and an inclination to- ward fear, were analysed before the American Association for the Advancement of Science today.
 George M. Stratton of the Uni 1versity of California said that eyi- dence increases that disease is connected in after-life with iras- cibility. Instead of breeding pa tience, it appears that persons who have had greater number of diseases appear to be more irasci- ble than do those who have had few diseases.
 "The time when the disease oc- CUTS is important. Persons who have suffered disease in the first five years of their lives appear ill general to respond more intense- ly to anger situations than do per sons whose diseases came later.
 'The evidence is far more doubt full with regard to fear. There are faintest indications that an oc- currence of disease is followed by a lasting tendency to heightening of fear, and that the greater the number of diseases the stronger is this tendency. But the strong er fears seem to occur, not in those whose diseases come in early childhood, but in those whose di- seases came at later period of life"

OUTL OOk GOOD FOR COMMUNITY SAYS BEHRENDS

 Outlook for This Year

Optimism for Juneau's progress and material prosperity was the keynote of brief forecast for 1929 .p < q ktodHv 1;ss x D M. Behrends, I'Pfesidenf Of D MT BefIrsndseB Bank, and one of the Territory's fore most financiers and business men. |"I strongly believe this year will he one of the best in the towns history" he declared.
 Good business in fishing, mining, and numbering industries, and in the building trade was prophesed by Mir. Behrends. This and a grow. ing spirit among Juneau citizens of faith in the community's stabil- |ity and future growth were cited |by him as facts supporting his own confidence in prosperity this yea.
 Mining Will Improve
 Pointing out that the Alaska Ju- neau in 1928 had the best year in its history, he said he was sure from what he knew that 1929 would be another fine year for that company. Other smaller mines in the district making Juneau their market center did we'll and will do better this year
 Fishing. particularly fresh fish, ing, will be of more importance to the community this year than ever, in MT. Behrends" " opinion. Last year. the first of the operations of the new plant of Juneau Cold Storage Company, saw the fresh market here expanded and more fish tha1 ever coming into port.

Improvement in Conditions Expected to React Fav-

"The prospects TOT 1929 in the l timber industry Of Southeastern Alaska are excellent" declared a statement issued today from dis ltrict headquarters of the U. s. For lest Service. It anticipates a ma lterial improvement in local condi- ltions and markets which will be |reflected by recovery in the tim Der industry which last year was below normal.
 High iignts in last years activi- Lies were: the record of the Juneau Lumber Mills, which cua more than any otherrin the Territory; opening of The Alaska Railroad tie market to local mills: and the expenditure of $10O,O0O in pulp tim- ber and water power resources by

 purposes during the calendar year
 1928 was 4O.500,OOO board feet. compared with an average annual amount for the proceeding three

GROSS PROFIT SMELLS

Fine Balance Sheet Shown for Year Stock Makes
 Splendid Recovery

Production of the AlasKa Juneau mine for the calendar year 1928. was $3.2o0,0O0, according to pre- liminary estimates made public to- day by l.. H. Metzgar. General Su- perinteldent of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company
 The gross profit on the yenr's operations, before the deduction of depreciation and depletion charg- es, was approximately S920,000.
 Leads In Industry
 That the local mine is the great est factor in the entire gold pro- duction of Alaska at this time was indicated by the fact that it's out put was more than that of all the rest of ;he mines. both placer and quartz, in the Territory combined. This includes all of the dredscs now operating, also
 Figures taken from official yac- ords of the U. S. Customs Service show that the entire production or gold shipped to the States last year was worth $6,351, ,204 This means that the other mines Of Ala ska produced $3.151.204. or about s500 less than that of the Alaska Juneau.
 sctsflMew Eeeord l Not only in o,itpGt but also in gross profit the Alaska Juneau set lup new records. It's production lin 1927 was s2,sSO,000, or ss2O.00o less thaa for 1928. No figures were given for gross profit for the former year but it was very small, The ore mined was of higher grade than in 1927, as the tonnage last year was slightly less than in the former year. Tn 1928 3,700, ,000 |tons of rock were trammed as com- pared to 4,263.0 in 1927. The per- centage milled was higher last year, however, 1,S00,0O0 as against 1,S41, ,0oo tons in 1927.
 Acquires Other Holdings During the year the company acquired all of the physical hold-. ings on Douglas Island of tha 'TreadwelI companies This incIud- ed mill sites. machine shop. foun- |dry, and ether property, real and personal on the island, and three hydro electric power plants. one on the island, one at Sheep Creek and the third at Nugget Creek. The payment for these holdings was made in treasury stock of the com pany. but the amount involved was not stated.
 Largely owing to the addition of the power plants, the company added materially to it's working forces. In 1927 1t employed 500 men. This number was increased to $50 last year.
 Disburses Huge Sum
 The company during the year made expenditures locally in the amount ct $1,7OO.O0O. Of this sum s1,25C, 900 was carried on the pay roll for employees. The rest in- cludes powder, lumber. freight and other thirgs bought on the local market.
