ALASKA’S GOVERNOR JOHN W. TROY
The recent reappointment of John W. Troy, as Al
aska’s Governor for a second four year term, should
strike a responsive chord in the heart of every Alaskan;
—for his record of high achievement during the past 4
years, is not only the record of substantial progress in
government and industry, but also in that fragile and
transitory state of mind—the contentment and general
happiness of our people.
John Weir Troy was born at Dungeness, Washing
ton, Oct. 31, 1868. Educated in both the public and pri
vate schools of his State, he early showed a prediliction
for newspaper work, becoming associated, as a reporter,
with the Port Townsend Argus, during the years 1886
-'87. John Troy also entered politics early in life, be
coming deputy auditor of Clallam County, Washington,:
at the age of 21, deputy county clerk at the age of 23,
and county auditor when but 24 years of age, holding
this position for 5 years. During the 5 year period,
John Troy was also the publisher and editor of the Port
Angeles Weekly Democrat Leader.
In 1898 John Troy heeded the call of the North, and
from 1899 to 1907 was editor of the Skagway Daily Al
askan. In 1907, Alaska, recognizing his writing attain
ments, sent him to Seattle as publicity agent for the
Territory, which position he held until 1911. He was,
for the next two years, editor and publisher of the Al
aska Yukon Magazine, becoming editor of the Juneau
Daily Alaska Empire in 1913, and its owner and publish
er in 1914, retaining ownership until appointment as
Alaska’s Governor in 1933. John Troy has also served
the Territory as ollector of Customs, 1919-1922.
Governor Troy has been twice married, two child
ren resulting from the first union, Mrs. Robert Bender
of Juneau, and Mrs. George A. Lingo of Anchorage.
In his career as Governor of Alaska, John Troy has
constantly shown valiant leadership, and the courage of
his convictions at all times. Inculcated with a great
passion for all things Alaskan—endowed with an innate
spirit of justice and fair play, he brings to the task in
hand, all of the qualities that go to make a real Alaskan
Governor of this, our last frontier.
True Alaskan, progressive and inspiring leader, gen
ial host, staunch friend, and splendid gentleman—Al
aska's John W. Troy.
NATIVE CANNERY WORKERS
Out of the welter of reports from the fishing battle
front outside, comes the comforting bit of news that
the packers are waking up to the fact that cannery
workers, plenty of them, can be found in Alaska; that
after all it is not necessary to dicker with a mob of
Orientals.
Fishermen and mechanics satisfied with agreements
reached and eager to get going, have waited upon the
brown and yellow lads with injunctions that they use
sense in their demands, but from the twice-a-week
clean bed sheets to hour and wage adjustments, they
have been hanging on.
On top of it all is the report that systematic hand
ling of Alaska natives is something to be considered,
distributing them about different canneries. Just why
this has never been worked out before, is not clear,

but if it is to be a future program, the Territory will
owe a vote of thanks to our almond-eyed friends who
insisted, not wisely but too well, upon being tucked
away at night with a bedtime story.—(Seward Gateway.
One way to ,sterilize gold imports is to increase the
public debt, and Treasury experts think this may be a
lesser evil than letting the gold swell the excess reser
ves of banks. The Treasury would buy up the gold by
issuing notes or bills and would not let it become part
of the monetary structure.

Cooler weather conditions starting last nite is hold
ing down the probability of such extremes as yester
day, but we are not out of the woods yet. The Sur
rounding hills of the upper Tanana Valley are still snow
covered, but the valley is mostly barren.
The airport which was mostly covered with water
Thursday, was partly dry on Friday, and planes were
hopping with light loads, using skiis, which slip and
slide over mud and water-like snow. The planes
are dragged to a position through water with tractors
before hopping off.
