As the time approaches for the >
transfer of authority, in Alaska,
from one party to another, it oc
curs to The News that we have some
very efficient office-holders in our
section of the territiry. Not all of
our Fourth division officials have
made good but we know of several I
whom the public would gladly re
tain in their present positions were
it possible to do so. j
That the people of Alaska de
sired a change from Democratic
to Republican rule was made plain
- at the polls in November and The!
News is of the opinion the change,!
when it comes, will do the territory,
good. But there are exceptions in j
political turnovers, just as there!
are in other things, and the loss of
those who have made good will
detract to a considerable degree:
from the satisfaction of having
certain of the other offices vacated, j
We do not question the ability!
of the Republican organization v. >'
find men who will perform their
duties in a manner satisfactory to
the public, but it is not an easy task
especially in the cases of appointees
selected to succeed particularly effi
cient officials. There is an element
of risk about it which makes it the
harder for communities to part
company with officials who have
performed their duties well.
Let us hope President Har line
will have the strength to bring about
the reforms suggested in his inaugu
ral address. The message was one
of good cheer, voiced by a man who
appears to have a knowledge of con
ditions and a sincere desire to im
prove them.
Totaling $108,329,895, Alaska’s
commerce, one of the .great bul
warks of Seattle’s prosperity, vir
tually held its own in 1920, as com
pared to 1919, when the figures
were $109,552,339. The decrease is
only $1,322,444 and it is largely
confined to gold and silver ship
ments. The year 1919 showed a
slump of more than $17,000,000 as
compared to the record of 1918, so
that the 1920 slump is insignificant
in comparison. The statistics, which
appear in the annual report of the
customs'department’s Northern head
quarters at Juneau, show that the
territory has halted the downwart
movement and is now on a stable
basis.
Five Indian girls were recently

sight of electric lights, telephones
