NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS!
Receipts from the national forests
for the fiscal year 1920 were greater
by $435,067 than for the previous
year, according to the annual report
of Col. W. B. Greeley, of the United
States forest service. The total re
ceipts for the fiscal year 1920 were
$4,793,482.
Receipts from timber sales in
creased *196,300. while on the other
hand grazing receipts decreased
$129,934. chiefly because of the re
duction in the herds of many permit
tees. The increase in timber receipts
shows the increasing demands on the
national forests. If funds are pro
vided for examination and sale of
national forest timber, now in de
mand, the receipts fronj timber sales
may be expected to increase still
more rapidly until the cut reaches
the limit that must be imposed in
order to maintain a continuous yield
from the forests and give stability
to the industries and communities
that will gradually come to be de
pendent upon them.
While receipts have been increas
ing year after year, appropriations
have remained practically stationary.
From 1915 to 1920 receipts increas
ed 93 per cent, while the total ap
propriation for the forest service
increased ei^ht per cent, exclusive
of deficiency appropriations for fire
fighting.
As spring approaches. Interior
Alaskans should give careful atten
tion to the condition to their health,
lest there be a second visitation of
the deadly flu. The flu germ, firmly
implanted in at least two Interior
communities a year ago, very likely
is still here and the disease may
reappear under the warming in
fluence of rising spring tempera
tures. The experience of other com-;
munities encourages the belief that.
v/3 need not expect a severe epi
demic if, indeed, we have one at all,
but it is well to be prepared by'
making certain, in advance, that we
are in good health. A little precau
tion now may save us needless suf
fering later on.
SOME DAY!
Some day some Alaskan will go |
to Washington and bring back to
the people of the territory the j
authority to exercise their right to j
govern themselve, and the man who
does that, believes the Juneau Em
pire, will write his name into the
history of Alaska, in the hearts of;
Alaskans, in manner as imperish- j
able as the name of Lewis Cass is j
enshrined in the history of Michi--j
gan and the hearts of those in that j
state. The right of self-government
is an American right that has been
denied the people of Alaska, and
the history of the march of civiliza
tion from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific has demonstrated that self
government is the most practicable
government—the government that
counts most for progress in develop
ment and the government that builds
strong, self-reliant men and women.
The government which Alaska has
is the merest husk. Its place is
I amons the moth-eaten relies of j
j things that were put aside when the '
; embattled farmers of the colonies.
l defeated the hired Hessians and the j
j Red Savages of George III., and by j
j their blood dedicated America to j
the cause of freedom.
! In contrast with the question of
j ;
j applying the American principles of !
| government to Alaska—the govern
ment of Alaska by Alaskans in
Alaska—all other issues and prob
lems confronting our people are as:
mere chaff, as trancient as the
breezes that come and go. Most of'
Alaska's problems hark back to this i
one greatest of all questions with;
the hardy people who are making
their- homes here. let Congress
grant to Alaskans a full territorial j
form of government, the right to
! govern themselves and most of the;
I other ' issues which vex and annoy j
j and hinder development would dis
| appear immediately. They would
; cease to exist.
When Alaskans procure recogni
tion of their rights as Americans
i to govern themselves then will be-'
; gin the development of an Alaskan 1
j character. Then will people take
I pride in their land. Then will Uriah
. Heap humbleness, the cheap beg- i
! gary of the petitioners for favor®, j
i give way to self reliance, courage |
and earnestness of purpose. Then1
j will Alaskans cease to be like re-1
j serration Indians, beggars for blank-!
' ets and flour, and become robust!
Americans.
Who will be the Alaskan who will '
Ket this boon for Alaska wo have j
not the slightest idea. Whoever he ■
mya be. and some day he will come
to the front, his fame will become
commensurate with his great ser
vice.
Louis Rose, who recently gave up

BENEFIT FOR ROAD FUND
WILL BE PLEASING SHOW
The committee in charpe of the
arrangements for the benefit of the i
Xenana road fund, to be given at
the Coliseum on next Tuesday night,
announce that the program has been
fully arranged, and consists of a
variety of talent which insures a
very enjoyable program.
As already stated in these columns 1
the show is being given to raise
funds for the trail which has been
cut from Xenana to the Toklat
and, in this connection, the commit- ‘
tee is pleased to be able to state
that the work is now practically
completed and the trail in good con
dition for travel. Sam Fedderson.
well known oldtimer of the Kan
tishna. arrived in town yesterday,
by way of the new trail, and he is
authority for the statement that the
work has been well done. He rode
all the way from Knights roadhouse,'
which is a fair indication of the
condition of the trail. And it is his
intention to use the trail when he
returns to the Kantishna with sup
plies. . i
The trail enables travelers to save
a full day in making the trip be
tween Xenana and all points in the
Kantishna, the distance between the
Toklat and Xenana, by way of the
new trail, being about the same as,
the distance between the Toklat and
the railroad, by way of the old
trail.
The work of cutting: the trail was
partially financed by means of a
subscription list circulated before the
work started; and it is now planned
by the committee to raise the balance
of the money needed at the benefi;
on Tuesday.

WERE YOU EVER HOROSCOPED?
Ancient astrology was taught by
the Chaldeans, Egyptians and Aral)*.
They fixed the fate of each of us
at the hour of birth, by the positions
at that time, of the stars in the
heavens. According to their arrange
ment—how close they are to each
other, and in what parts of the sky
—so it is supposed will the future
life of one born under them be ar
ranged. This Celestial page of desti
ny, of which the lettered symbols
are the seven planets, the moon,
the sun and the constellations of the
zodiac, is called a HOROSCOPE.
Send the date of your birth, day and
year, and the locality of your birth
place, and receive a personal chart
and typed horoscope, bearing the
“ups and downs” of your own life.
