An Independent Newspaper
An Alaskan Governor
Alaskans, regardless of their
political affiliations, are re
joicing over the fact that for
the first time in many years no
alien job-seeker but a genuine,
dyed-in-the-wool Alaskan in
the person of John W. Troy oc
cupies the position of Governor
of Alaska.
They know that in him they
have a chief executive to whom
Alaska and its people are first
and foremost; one who for
years has battled with all his
powers for and with them for
the material progress and de
velopment of the Territory
and who has long since proved
himself a true champion of
their rights .in the long strug
gle for political freedom and
emancipation from the strang
ling griip of bureaucracy and
remote governmental control.
They recognize that in him
they have a chief executive
who sees with them eye to eye,
who thinks their thoughts and
speaks their language, and is
in all things one of themselves.
Therefore it is natural that
they view with universal pleas
ure his accession to the gov
ernorship and deem it a most
fitting reward for his long
years of faithful and energet
ic service in behalf of Alaska
and its people. j
“Bank Holiday” Fourth To
Occur in United States
A reader asks if the United
States has ever experienced
prior to this year a general
suspension of normal banking
activities such as occurred
two months ago.
According to reliable author
ity the answer is yes, several
times. In fact there have
been four occasions in which !
the nation experienced a gen
eral curtailment of normal ]
banking operations and a tern-!
porary suspension of them over
wide areas.
Nearly all the banks in the
country suspended in 1819, on
ly a small number in the New
England states remaining op
en. Again in 1837, eighteen
years later, there occurred an
other period of almost univer
sal bank suspensions. Still lat
er, in 1857, a third period of al
most universal bank closings
developed.
Since the latter year there
was never a general suspension
of banking until the one this
year, although severe bank
difficulties occurred in 1873,
but did not involve either a
general suspension or a univer
sal curtailment of normal
banking activities.
It is significant that prior to
each of the foui earlier periods
of bank difficulties the country j
had passed through a period of
hectic prosperity, accompanied
by excessive speculation, such
as preceded the present eco
nomic and financial break
down.

Again we are reminded that
politic? sometimes make very
strange bed-fellows.
We favor' the reforestation
idea in the hoipe that it may
give us better timber for candi- j
dates.
Do not judge a man hastily j
by his environment. Some-1
times an able man is satisfied \
to live in a one-horse town be- j
cause he happens to be the!
hcrse.
One trouble is that so many
of our so-called liberal states
men are liberal only at the ex
pense of someone else.
European statesmen rub
their hands in glee whenever
Uncle Sam calls a conference,
knowing that it means they will
get another piece of his shirt.

Jack Crawford and Pat Mc
Namara are busy freighting in
supplies and equipment to the
B. C. Silver and Indian.
Harry Hicks is building a
hanging garden at the rear of
the Crescent Rooms in Hyder,

Fred Stanley, former chef at
the Silver Grill, is now propri
etor of the Marathon Cafe in
Seward.
Writing- from Randsburg, Cal
ifornia, Stampede John says
that Hyder, Stewart and Alice

Joe Green has strung a line
of green lights from Internat
ional and Volunteer Drive
down Main street to the Green

One of the jolliest social af-!
fairs of the winter was a sur
prise party Thursday night at ■

Active development of the 1
Daly Alaska is foreshadowed
by the payment into the Bank
of Montreal in Stewart of the
money due the owners under j
the bond held by the Daly
Alaska Mining Company. The
original owners are Dan Dav
is and Wm. McGrew of Hyder,
and Charles Knipple of Stew
art, who, besides receiving
cash payments from time to
lime under the sale agreement,
also control a large amount of
stock. The property was bond
ed last fall by Pat. Daly, who
spent his own capital to satisfy
himself that his judgement as
to its value had not been
wrong, and then went Outside
and organized the Daly Alaska
Company with Jesse J. Kalin of
Vancouver as president.
PENALTY OF LYING
Someone has said that the
oenalty of lying is not to be be
ieved when one tells the truth.
A negro boxer was to fight a
loted heavy-weight champion.
When he reached the ring it
.vas noticed that he did not ap
oear at all eager for the con
:est.
“It’s all right, Sam,” said
one of his seconds. “Just say j
o yourself, ‘I’m going to beat j
lim,’ and you will.”
“That’s no good,” replied 1
sam. “ I know what a liar I
im.”
