ALASKA DAY

Throughout the Territory, Alaskans today observe the 84th anniversary of the formal transfer Of owner ship of Alaska from the Russian Empire to the United States of America.
 In what was the largest real estate transfer in the history of the world, the United States took title to an area one-ffth the size of the nation itself at price of two cents an acre.
 Needless to repeat that modest investment has repaid the nation handsomely. Many times the pur- chase price has been harvested fromthe waters mines and forests of our generous land.
 As we observe Alaska Day, it might be well to review the happenings that historic day at Sitka.
 Eighty-four years ago today. in the early morning hours the U.S.S Ossippee arrived at Sitka, having aboard Major General L. H. Rousseau the con- missioner of the United States for the transfer

As the defense program absorbs more and more of Americas labor force the number of civilians employed by the Federal government is increasing steadily Late reports indicate the government has more than 24OOOOO employees, to whom it pays $8,- 3OOO0OO0O year now and for whom it is asking salary increases.
 This rise in Federal employment has taken place despite estimates that the government could save more than $10 100000 year by dropping 3O5,o00 un- needed employees from the projected payroll for fiscal 1852. Yet to avoid cuts many peacetime de- partments have been making every effort to have their activities classified defense work, hoping not only to keep all employees, but even to do little empire building by getting personnel
