GOV. TROY ACTS WISELY.

In inducing the Federal Public Works Admm- istration to permit the use Of public WorKs reiei funds on various local projects scattered wioeiy throughout the Territory, Gov. Troy has acted with mature and considered judgment He has selected undertakings where the need for relief of unempoy nent is pressing and which socially Justlfapie. Work can be started on each of them Immediately and carried to completion without halt.
 These projects it should be remembered, do not comprise the ones on second list recently SUD- mitted to the Public Works Administration TOT allocation of additional funds That list IS much larger and covers wider field. Action on 1t cannot be expected to come for sometime yet
 The Willoughby Avenue project which the GOV ernor announced as being among the l2 for which funds are now available, is highly meritorlous. By constructing a permanent, rock filled thoroughare to replace the wooden causeway that has to be renewed frequently and can only be maintained at excessive cost the community will be saved thou sands of dollars annually. In doing the work at this tme large number of men will be employed for months providing many jobs for persons who otherwise would be forced to remain idle
 It was Mayor I. Goldstein who first visualized this project as one likely to win Federal approval He worked long and hard to achieve this, and IS entitled to lot of credit for it.

RAILROADS GAIN IN JULY
 REMARKABLE.

The first 29 of the countrys railroads to report covering their operations for July the latest montn for which figures available, showed earnings that amounted to $29 ,OO0 against $5,968,oOO in July 1892. an increase of 39O3 per cent. The same roads earned $22,O74,0OO in the same month in 1931 or 326 per cent less than in 1855 The earnings for July 1s3O, $36799oOo exceeded it by POT per cent. Their net operating income in June of this year was $3O267,ooo, increase of 2716 per cent over June, 1882
 The gross revenue of these roads in July was $142, O00, as against $117706000 in July, 1852 and $180OOOO00 in July 1881. The June gross 1n- creased 127 per cent June of 1882.
 These figures indicate that the progress of the country has been substantial during the current summer Increasing rail revenues and receipts re- fleet similar gains in both agriculture and manu- featuring as well in general trade.

 for the most part such criticism hasn't gotten very far.
 There have been reports that the Republican leaders like Sena- tor McNary, the party's leader in the Senate, have counseled si- lence. This is no time, they say, for political outbursts.
 At the close of the special ses- sion of Congress, Representative Shell, the Republican leader in the House, issued a blast against the policies of the Roosevelt Admin istration, with particular emphasis on the cost entailed.
 It was nosed about that some of Shells associates thought his attack ill-timed.
 But it is difficult for the man politics to be patient and silent politics to be pateient and silent when the opposing party is doing things to upset precedent, ana tradition.

Kingfish whose crown is flying off, wash basin with faucets in the background. The medal bears the inscription: "Publico conslio pro in camera gesta" which may be freely translated "in public acclaim for deed done in private"
 So far there has been claimant for the medal Mir White will offer it to the Sands Point Bath Club in claims the right to receive it. Bronze copies will be placed on sale, the proceeds to be turned to the Womens s Committee of Louisiana for its campaign to oust Senator Long from public life
 Washington observers signs that their aim is not displeasing to the Roosevelt Administration. In fact, it not adverse to doing it's little bit to contribute to it's achievement. Just the press reports that therell be Federal patronage in Louisiana for the Senator That is one of the hardest blows that could be dealt him. Without patronage, his following will inevitably start dis ntegrating Naturally if there's no pie at the counter, therell be few customers

THAT BLOW, FOR INSTANCE

It all started when the Atltntic Coast was swept recently by a tropical hurricane. In letter to Secretary Wallace, the Senator pointed out that the Weather Bu- reau said that on Sunday of that week the weather would be fine
 AS matter of fact, said Kean, it rained Sunday afternoon and the wind started to blow a gale. :"
 He added that he had been told that the Weather Bureau did not get enough reports from ships at sea.
 T must point out,' he gravely warned Wallace, there has been quite a loss of life and also great damage to small pleasure craft owing to the inaccuracy of the information provided by you"

A New Horizon Looms.
Fairbanks News-Miner.)

(Fa1rbanKS News MlnerD
 President Roosevelts order lifting the embargo against the shipment of newly mined gold marks a definite epoch in the gold mining industry.
 When the President placed embargo on gold shipments last April it forced the miner to sell his gold to the United States Mint at the price of $2067; and this is in a depreciated currency al though prior to that tme he entitled to gold If so desired.
 This order was followed by another, which re- qured all newly mined gold to be sold at the Mint, although the world market paid far higher price. The gold mining industry was being penalzed the difference between $2067 per ounce paid by the United States and the price of approximately S3o0O per ounce paid in the world market.
 The existence and prosperity of the gold mining industry depends upon the margin between cost of production and the price received for the golo. Because of the rising cost of food and supplies gen. orally, brought about by the imitation of the gold dollar and the MIRA employment codes, the mining industry was fast approaching the position it occu- pied during the years immediately following the World War, when high cost of production caused a shutdown of many god-producing properties in the States and Alaska, and the dscontinuance of mining devlopment from which Interior Alaska has been but slowing emerging during the last few years
 i In the face of. rising prices shortened hours and the announced determination of the President to restore 1926 prices it was inevitable that if the mining industry was not be throtted the embargo must be lifted
 | This has been done Prosperity is now at hand for the gold mining industry and as consequence for this community. To what heights it will soar it is difficult to visualize. new horizon looms staggering in it's potentalites. Of this be assured that it the improvement of the condition Of our courageous and hard-working prospectors, min CTS, and business men; the continued operation of the gold properties now being mined; and stimulus and incentive to prospecting and mining that will result in new discoveries and renewed development Gold mining is coming into its own. The New Deal" has given the mining industry square deal which will rebound to the general economic advantage of the entire United States
