ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK
 PETERS CREEK MINE

The encouraging results of last seasons work on the Peters Creek Mining Company property on Pet CTS Creek, has instiiled considerable optimism in the operators with the result the coming summers activ- ities may possibly be enlarged.
 The company is now freighting in supplies over the snow from Tal- keetna about 36 miles away. A group of Lewiston, Idaho, mining men are the owners.
 An average crew of 20 men were employed last summer and con- siderable amount of gold taken out.
 Every indication points toward a big producer within a few years

TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT

While every resident of Alaska is committed to the principle of full Territorial government -- that is with counties, townships, etc., - the question naturally creeps in what material effect the change might have upon the economic con- dition of the Territory.
 There are two angles of the sit uation demanding consideration. One is emancipation from long range government and the other is the introduction of more govern ment with it's attendant expense of operation. On the question of functiOning it is debatable if full county government could excel bureaucratic government as it re- lates to purely intimate personal interests such as affect the average citizens in his daily activities.
 It would appear more logical to direct energies to development pro- grams which would thru natural process, create revenues commen- Surate with the demands of more extended local governmental ac- tivities. Each county would of neceS- Sity demand a set of commissioners. These must be paid They would require justices of the peace or magistrates which now function as United States Commissioners, to- gether with police powers vested in a sheriff, constables, etc.
 Without the relaxation of con- Servation and the restoration of natural resources to the Territory, to be sold to capital, no change in government would effect the rem edy sought.
 History of the West and Canada is replete with organized move mentS seeking to attract capital, yet there is not one such organization in the Territory.
 Scan the minutes of the Cham bers of Commerce, including that
Seward daily gateway., 1932-07-27

of the ALL-Alaska Chamber, anC one will find 80 per cent of it's con tents devoted to protests against changes of shifts in purely political affairs. They will find no concerted movement looking to listing the un- developed resources near by, no in- structive literature or compilations which have not been produced by various newspapers whose main support has come from absentee of industries, such as fisheries, steam ship companies, etc., and firms sell ing goods to Alaska.
 Those who would launch activ- ities face deprecating depression by too large number of those whose support should be inspirational ra- ther than cOerced.
 To the disintereSted observer, as has been shown by expressions from many visitors, Alaska appears to be more interested in political or gov- ernmental subjects than it is in creating population of sufficient dimensions to afford the cost of full responsibility.
 That this aspect is not lost on Washington has been disclosed on many occasions when Ca bin e members and presidents have ex- pressed the suggestion that ''the people of the United States look to Alaskans to begin development on their own.
 One of the most refreshing out comes of the present financial and political crisis is the action of Ket- chikan in launching just such a movement as the one under discus sion. When fishing fell off the Salmon Capital" cast about for another resource to keep it's popu- lation active. They organized pros pecting companies, like those being formed outside and led by the Pa cific Steamship Go. It may take a season or more to bring results, but this move will benefit Ketchikan more than quibbiling over forms of government.

RAILS OUTLOOK
HOPEFUL

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday informed Con-
greSs that the future outlook for
the nations railroads is definite
ly hopeful" and there is sufficient
reason to believe the bottom in
traffic decline has peen reached.
1t said optimistic expressions in
its annual report were based on
upturn in traffic this fall and
concentrated endeavor on the
part of the entire industry and
various outside agencies to Co
operate for mutual advantage"
The report said the method of
reducing expenses by curtailing
maintenance expenditures can
not with safety be continued
indefinitely"
Congress was asked to give
careful consideration to ways and
means Of improving procedure in
railroad receiverShipS and reor-
ganiZations which the commits
sion declared have often in the
past been a source of undue and
unreasonable expense and un-
necessary burden upon security

STILL RISING

Gold stocks of the country on
December Z totaled $4,352, 900 900,
the Federal Reserve Board an
nounced today. Since the low
point, July Is, the increase has
been SAB, 100000. The anticipated
payment of some of the foreign
debts in gold on December Is will
push the monetary stocks further
upward, whether actually i'm
ported or held abroad for Amer
ican account.
Increase of $4,000, 900 in money
circulation is held as entirely sea-
SOnal. The volume of money cir
culation should continue to gain
until the last shopping day be-
fore Christmas if normal tenden-
cieS are followed. Circulation on
December Z was $163, 900, 900
greater than a year ago and stood
at $5, ,669 900 900. This was a drop
of $11O,0O0,0O0 since the high
point, July 6. .-
Federal reserve banks continued
to reduce the volume of United
States securities held as collateral
back of notes. The drop for the
week was $780, 900 to a total of
$408, 100000. Eligible commercial
paper back of notes declined SILL

DECLINE SHOWN
IN FOOD INDEX

Food prices suffered a severe
drop during the week ending De-
cember 6, the. wholesale food
price index, complied by Brad
streets Weekly, falling cents TO
stand at $1.67 on that date.
This and the preceding weeks
drop of l cent has wiped out two
thirds of the advance between
November l and November %.
This downward movement was
in spite of a normal tendency
for the index to rise at this
time. The adjusted index accord
ingly fell even more severly,
duplicating its November l figure
of 81 per cent of the 1928-30
average.
This is just barely above its
depression low of 51.6 recorded
on June ii of this year. The
largest declines were in butter
and eggs, with livestock also
showing weakness.
