Heintzleman Day

Heintzleman Day
 This day of April 10. 1858, is quite an suspicious day in Alaska. Up in Juneau Regional Forester B. Frank Heintzleman is being sworn in as Governor and Waino Hend- rickson as Secretary of the Terri tory. Out in front of our establish ment, and pretty close to the reef this morning, Councilman A r t "24-pound" Nelson. the local air transportation mogul; John Ben son. Alaska Public Works inspector, (after his first one). and Fred An german. the taxi chief who sug- gests using a seine. are trolling pa tiently back and forth trying to land a big one to enter in Wran- gell's 1853 King Salmon Derby.
 We don't know that the latter is particularly suspicious but it does show a whale of a lot of determin- ation. especially at s o'clock in the morning. And, it's our theory, that 1t reflects about what Frank and Waino have in mind as they step into their new offices - deter imitation to do a good job for the Territory.
 We feel it's suspicious because we believe it is the beginning of an era of genuine industrial pro- gress in Alaska. Few men are bet ter qualified to further develop ment of Alaska's resources than Governor Heintzleman, particular ly as it pertains to the great tim Der areas of the Southeast. AL ready we have seen a start with the pulp plant underway in Ketchikan, a pulp chip mill planned for Wran- gell a plywood plant in Juneau and timber use plants proposed for Petersburg and Sitka.
 By the time April 10, 1857, the end of the Governors four-year tenure in office, rolls around we have a feeling that this panhandle of Alaska will be experiencing a remarkable industrial development, built on it's great untapped re- source - timber. With year-around manufacture in the uses of our forests taking some of the strain off the over-worked seasonal fish ing industry we can look forward to quite an era. Or, are we like those three fishermen out there in the river scow - perpetual optim- ists? At any rate, you never catch them without getting out there, and we believe that is what Frank and Waino are going to do. They are going to get out there and see what they can do in bringing AL aska development.
 When the speeches are finished, the hand-shaking concluded, the cocktails drunk and the job hunt CTS foiled, a mighty soothing way to relax is at the end of fishing rod while trolling slowly in a skiff just beyond the breakwater. Better try it, Governor and Mr. Secretary. The Derby committee advises that you have a standing invitation.
 Alaskan Gruening
 Report from Juneau is that re- tiring Gov. Ernest Gruening will stay in the Territory, retiring to his country estate 'Gruening Manor" at Eagle River Landing north of Juneau, there to write a history of Alaska. We suspect 1t will be a right interesting book, too.
 In the 0ffing, Maybe
 The dope is that Claire Wilder, publisher of the Petersburg Press, is in line for U. S. Marshal in the First Division and George Misco- vich, Speaker of the House in the recent legislative session, slated for the similar post in the Fourth Division.
 Wind Up
 Office of Price Stabilization has officially closed and Wrangell's Fred G. Hanford, who headed it up. is planning an extensive vacation in the States. Julius Ferney, ex- Sentinel editor, who was with the same office, is reported to be work ing for one of the papers in Jun eau. Mrs. Karl Theile, ex-Wran- gell, is with the Territorial Treas urer's office and has been for some time.
