ALASKA NEEDS CHIEFLY TO BE
 SELF GOVERNED
Troy Emphasizes for Local Self-Government Tn
 First Annual Report
ASSERTS NATION MUST PAY CONSERVATION
Points Out Difference Be- tween System Here anc
 that of Former Days

In his very first annual report, in fact almost in the opening para graph of his introduction, Gov. John w. Troy emphasizes the need of Alaska for government. And later he specifically recommends that bills introduced by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond to that end be supported by the Administration He points out that the body of the report covers. period, July l, 1892 to June 30, 1893, most of which time another held the office he now occupies. The facts and figures, "and in large measure" he said, "the language of the re- port comes from others"
 Should Govern Self
 In his third paragraph. Gov. Troy wrote
 My few months experience as Governor of Alaska has confirmed lifelong conviction that, wher- ever possible, Alaska should gov- ern herself. Her laws should be made by her own Legislature and executed by her own officials. There should be a system of counties or other means of local government.
 "The Federal governmental func- tions in Alaska, as much as pos- sible, should be under the direc- tions of Alaskans and people in the field should have wide discre- tion and authority to act on their own judgments. None is SO inter- ested in Alaska as those who live here. And there are plenty of capable men and women in the Territory to fill all of the re- sponsible positions.
 Points Out Differences
 Continuing, Governor Troy said: Complaint is not infrequently heard from the States about the large cost of Alaska to the Fed eral Government. It is sometimes said that more money is appro- priated annually for Alaska than was ever appropriated for any of the other Territories. But the treatment of the other Territories was far different than has been that of Alaska. All of the land and other natural resources of the other Territories were available for the use of the people who came to them; they used the resources and brought about the development of commonwealths.
 During the period of Alaskas greatest growth the Federal appro- priations for the Territory were in- considerable. But in that time resi- dents of the Territory could take over and utilize the natural re- sources just as could the pioneers in former frontiers when civiliza- tion was quickly and triumphantly advancing from the Atlantic to the Continued on Page Four)

ALASKA JUNEAU
 NETS S1,167,000 IN 1883 AT S20.67
Last Years Operations Larger than in 1852 and
 Close to Its Record
EMPLOYED AVERAGE
 746 MEN EVERY DAY
About Four Miles of Under ground Workings Open
 ed on Deep Levels

The Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company last year approached it's record year of 1881 in it's local operations, earning an estimated operating profit for 1883, before deducting for development, depre- ciation and depletion, of $1,167 900, according to statement given to ~ssi.he Empire by L. H. Metzgar, e,fe7israi Superintendefit
 This has been exceeded but once, in 1881, when it was $1. 400, ,000, and was s61 ,000 in excess of last years surplus. This years net is based upon the old $2067 per ounce price and does not include the premium accruing in the past fou, months from the R. F. 0. price.
 Will Exceed 1881
 It was not posslpie to estimate the value of the premium, due to fluctuations and marketing prob lems. However. it is undoubtedly of material size, sufficient prob ably to carry the total surplus well above that of 1881.
 On the s20.67 basis, the com pany's receipts for the year were $3,l87, GOO, $63,000 more than in 1852 Its local expenditures were S1 ,878 GOO, $68,O00 more than the previous years. This includes the mine payroll, the total ofowhich was not given.
 More Men Employed
 The mine expanded it's labor force substantially. The daily aver age of men employed was 746 as compared to 663 in 1882 This is the largest operating force in it's history.
 During the year there were A., 102,000 tons of ore trammed from the mine. This is an average of about 11,200 tons every "A hours. Of that quantity, 2,474,O00 tons were treated in the mill.
 Much Development Work
 In addition to this, development and preparatory mining work done amounted to 20,500 feet, or nearly four miles of underground work ings. Deep development and pre- paratory work below the main haul age level was continued uninter- ruptedly throughout the year. At the present time, with the hoists installed in 1892, the company was able to maintain a tonnage of 1900 tons daily, from the deep levels.
 Tn pre- par a tion for additional hoisting facilities, 3,100 feet of erosscuts were driven on Nos. 4, 6, and 10 levels to the location of a central hoisting shaft on the respective levels. Twelve hundred feet of vertical raise were driven on line. and the widening out of this raise into shaft having four compartments, each six and one- half feet by six and one-half feet in the clear, was begun. This shaft provides two compartments for ore skips, one for man cage, and

Federal Control, as Set Up by Roosevelt, Expected

By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated PreSS Waehiugfoul


 The first few weeks after repeal have shown a plain realization at Washington that the overwhelming victory of the anti-prohibitionists will not be the be-all and end-all of the long political struggle over liquor.
 Ordinarily such an avalanche might be supposed by the layman to dispose of any question as a political issue, but already the old dispute, in new form, is poking it's head from beneath the pile of ballots.

 Quaff Welcome
 Wit th out depauchery, but ill sparkling wine millions of Ameri- cans quaffed farewell to the old and salute to the New Year. In countless glasses for the first time since 1920, in more than score of States they were able to greet the New Year with the cup of cheer that is no longer outlawed by Fed eral Prohibition laws.
 Through all the noisy greeting to Young 1884 ran note of hope fulness that the year would reflect a continuation of the improvement toward prosperity that made not able the waning days of 1883.
 Gay Celebration
 New York's celebration, reflecting those in many other parts of the Nation, was the gayest since Pro- hibition became effective in 1920. Times Square was a wild caca- phony of noise and cheers as the clock struck twelve. It was a new kind of New Years Eve for the younger generation, a return to something for the older genera tion that it thought had vanished forever. It sparkled with spoii- taneity. One coulG tell it in tfe myriads of happy faces flowing in an endless stream through the great metropolis.
 In Washington
 The Nations capital observed a comparatively quiet celebration. The observance planned there today is less active than in previous years. President Roosevelt departed from the usual custom and held no re- ception. He is to spend the day quietly with his family and with

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

A MONG the very latest of treatments for tuber-
IN culosis are two diets that were developed in
Germany as recently as last year. They are called
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and the Gerson
diets, named after the German specialists who de-
vised them.
The idea back of these diets is the belief that it
is possible to change the soil on which the tuber-
culosiS germ grows.
Their essential point is the practical exclusion of
table salt and the substitution for it of a salt rich in
calcium.
The diets also include large selections of UNI
cooked fresh vegetables or salads with added fruit
juices. Other vegetables are cooked in their own
juices in WaterleSS cookers.
The meats in the diet are cut down, as are also
the sugars. The water intake also is cut down, but
it is replaced with fairly liberal amounts of fresh
fruit and vegetable juices.
n n Il
THE Gerson diet gives about three and one-half
l. ounces of meat each week and about 2b ounces
of fish 1t provides the yolks of eggs only and a total
of fat daily OF about six ounces, which is twice as
much as of protein altogether.
The amount of sugar for energy includes about
seven ounces of sugar a week and about one and
three-quarters ounces of honey each week. The
vegetables are not included except in the form of
about one and one-half quarts of vegetable juices
a week and about one pint of fruit juices weekly.
The amount of milk is one-half pint daily. Soup
is not used. The amount of salt is about one and
one-half grams daily.
THE other diet differs from this by providing
u more protein, raising the weekly amount by
one pound. 1t also calls for more milk-at least a
quart each day-and permits the eating of the whole
egg instead of just of the yolk.
The idea behind these diets is to change the
way in which the body handles minerals. to use
these to better advantage in controlling the disease.
The diets are rich in fats, vitamins and minerals.
1t has not been established as yet with any GER
tainty that they represent a great advance in the
treatment of tuberculosis. However, the nature of
the disease is such that it is really worth while to
experiment with simple measures of this type, since
they may lead eventually to a system that could be
useful for all cases of tuberculosis,

petulant moments, and almost as SMART Pretty Boy
Floyd was very bad, too, and Clyde Barrow and

day that John Dillinger had come to town and might

though he wasn't genuinely bad, he had now grown
so desperate that he probably couldn't be taken alive
again. On a previous occasion, before he became a
dead man under the law, Dillinger had surrendered
without a fight. DIlinger was another parole job
ana the government officers deplore the act of the
Governor who had let him out, holding that lenient
stroke responsible for the death of four or five men
killed on the Dillinger job since then.
They talked this way a long time and arose to
resume their patrol, looking for any one whom they
might recognize, including Dillinger.

That Little Tailor

r AM more than weary by now of hearing of the
i poor little tailor who went to Jail because he
pressed a suit of clothes more cheaply than his COM
petitors. Some of the Republican orators have
spoken of him as a sort of national hero defending
the ancient American right to cut the throat of
your rivals by underSelling them. 1t is ironic, of
course, that a retail sinner should be punished while
the wholesale chiSelers escape. Nevertheless, the
little tailor belongs distinctly among the sinners. A
tive effort, and bear in mind that chseing on wages
is the certain corollary of chiseling on prices.
If organized labor is wise it will not rally around
any effort to preserve the minor manufacturer by
setting up economic chaos. His precarious economic
position must incline him to support the open shop,
the lowest possible wages and the longest possible
hours.
To be sure, General Johnson is no more candid
on this issue than Darrow. This phase of NRA is
pure bunk and always has been. You can not en-
courage the growth of monopoly and at the same
touch, but all too lightly, on the chief problem of
r when he suggests that the fullest use of pro-
ductive capacity in an age of abundance will be-
come possible "only when industry produces for use
and not for profit"
I think that again MI. Darrow is on solid ground
when he says that the choice is between monopoly
sustained by the government and "a planned econ
omy which demands Socialized ownership" Oh
course, Senators Borah and Nye (most curiously
middle ground. Stripped of purple passages, their
plan is nothing more than a return to the days of
the covered wagon.
l agree with Mr.. Darrow that it is perfectly pre-
posterous to set up a code for an industry and then
turn it over for policing to a code authority made
up OF the chief employers in that industry.
