UMTS FUTURE PICTDREO ill Governor of Territory Reports to Federal Authorities on New Development Policy DECREASE IN THE GOLD PRODUCTION The Construction of Railroads by the Government Would Be Means of Opening to Development Much Lans Now Practically Inaccessible Washington, Nov. 14. —With an op- I timistic picture of Alaska's future, jtiovernor J. F. A. Strong, iu his annual 1 report submitted yesterday to Secre j tary Lane, urged that the government exercise closer supervision for the con servation of the territory's wealth of fisheries, pointed out the need for the construction of a system of wagon roads and trails to supplement govern ment railroads and declared means must I be taken to stamp out disease among ! the native population. I "With the promise that the future holds," said Governor Strong, "and the exact knowledge of the extent and variety of the great mineral and other resources of Alaska, coupled with the I new broad policy of development which the government has inaugurated, Alas ka, it is confidently believed, will here after occupy an important place in the mining, industrial and economic his tory of the I'nited States.'' Exports More Thau $01,000,000 It is estimated that there are now | 59,000 white people in the territory, an increase of 3,000 over last year's estimate. The total value of the 1913 mineral output was $19,170,336, and the total value of the products of the Alaskan fisheries was $15,739,068. Both showed some declines from the preceding year. Tho territory's com ; merco in the last fiscal year showed exports of more than $61,000,000 a decrease because of lesser gold pro duction, while the United States sold j merchandise worth $21,929,160 to the j territory. Alaska's mineral resources, Governor ! Strong said, awaited development to ; restore some of the foreign supplies cut oft' by the European war. Lack of an : adequate coal supply, lie said, had re tarded industrial development. Con gress recently passed a leasing bill to I open the coal fields jn the far northern territory. Look for Increased Copper Production "Alaska's copper production," said Governor Strong, "is now important and promises to increase largely within the coming years. Given a supply of coke which cannot now be had at prices which make it available for industrial jise, the copper industry would be greatly stimulated by the erection of smelters for the treatment of the ores." The Governor said that the agricul tural possibilities of the territory are beginning to be appreciated. There aro probably 50,000,000 acres of land suit able for agricultural purposes, he said, and millions ot acres adapted for cat tle raising and dairying. Outlining other sources of natural riches in minerals and forests, the Governor said tho ter ritory must "present an inviting field for the home seeker, for capital nn l for labor, for men of brain and brawn such as have caused the great West to bloom and blossom." More Money for New Roads and Trails "The construction of railroads ' by the governments," the Governor added, "will be a means of opening to develop ment a vast extent of territory now practically inaccessible, but which is known to possess great possibilities from a mineral and agricultural point of view. 1 wish to emphasize here, however, what supplementary to rail roads, and as producers of added ton nage for railroad transportation, there should be a largely increased appropri ation by Congress for the construction and maintenance of new roads and trails." Natives Not as Healthy as Whites Health conditions among the w-hite people of Alaska, said Governor Strong, continue to be excellent. "Among the native population, however, diseases of various kinds are widespread, this being especially true in remote seotions, in some parts of southwestern Alaska and the eastern shore of Boring Sea where such things as sanitation and hygiene are unknown," he added. "Tuberculo sis is the principal disease, and there is no doubt that if not eradicated, in the near future, it will exterminate the natives well within the present cen turv." Governor Strong said that during the I summer, the Rev. J. H. Condit, an ; Alaskan missionary, visited native vil lages of southwestern Alaska and the eastern coast of Bering Sea. Condition Among Natives Horrible "He described conditions among the natives in those sections as little short of horrible," the Governor said. "Dis ease, suffering and death are every where apparent.-neither age nor sex be ing exempt. Sanitation and hygiene in any form are absolutely unknown; lit tle medical relief can be obtained, nor are there hospitals to care for the sick and diseased. Dr. Condit found children four and five years old who had never learned to walk; they were victims of disease and neglect, of hunger, dirt and cold." Missionary societies could not cope w-ith those conditions, Governor Strong said. He urged the establishment of I well-equipped hospitals and the educa tion of the natives in sanitation and hygiene. Fisheries Industry Victim of Neglect The fisheries industry, second in im portance to mining in the territory, "calls loudly for the protecting care of the federal government," Governor Strong declared. "It has been and still is the victim of neglect, and this neg lect is directly attributable to the in sufficiency of funds to emp ( loy the ne cessary personnel to enforce the laws anil regulations for the protection of the fisheries and for tfieir proper su pervision and extensions. Flagrant vio lations of these laws on the part of fisheries operators are a common occur- A GUARANTEED TREATMENT For Asthma and Hay Fever Oo to George A.

St. Paul, Minn. rence and attempts to prosecute known , violators hnve been ouly partiUly sue j ccssful. The waste of fish at many of the canneries is excessive." Governor Strong declared that the ! waters of Alaska had been exploited for their wealth for many years, but j that at no time had the exploiters con tributed an adequate return for their ! privileges. Government Deprived by Canneries "The system of rebating taxes,'' he said, "in return for the release of sal mon fry bj- some of the cannery com panies operating hatcheries is, and al ways has been, more or less of a sol emn farce. No one has benefitted except the cannery companies which are thus given a direct bonus by the operation of the rebating system and the govern ment has been deprived yearly of a substantial amount of taxes. "These fisheries should 6e held in trust for all the people ami not re served for wholesale exploitation. This statement applies not along to th e sal mon fisheries, but to all the others prosecuted iu Alaska; and those who are engaged in the industry should be compelled to pay a just' and reasonable tax for the privileges which they en joy." The Governor added that ta.xes were levied ou the salmon output alone. Territorial Form of Government Desired Gradual transition from placer to lode mining was indicated in the gold industry, Governor Strong said, but the building of roads probably would re sult in increased output froin the placer mines. Decrease in the 1913 output, he said, was partly accounted for by n shortage of water in the placer mining regions which curtailed operations. Gov ernor Strong urged that Alaska be giv en a full territorial form of govern ment. "Inder enlarged powers,'' he said, "no additional expense to the federal i government would be entailed, and mat j tors which properly belong to the leg | islative functions of the local legisla j ture could be dealt with in a way suit ! Ed to the needs and requirements "of the '■ territory.'' He declared the need of an attorney general for the territory was "imperii I tive."

(Ward Line) Gassral Offices, Pier 14, C.R., New York Or any Railroad Ticket Office or j Authorized Tourist Agency SATURDAY NIGHT SERMON^^^ REV SAMUELW. PUBVIS. D.D. WAS CHRIST A CHRISTIAN? Text. "For which causa tie is not asham ed to call them brethren."—Heb. 11, 11. "The disciples were called Christians first at Anttoch."—Acts, xl, ?S. 1 listened shortly ago to a brilliant llteptlc. 1 like those clever Philistines., They sometimes put a burr tinder tbe' saddle of our religious self coinpla-: cency. How 1 did prance mentally uu-l tier the stings! He asked: "Was your Christ a Christian? Well, if he was' all Christianity died with Its founder ! If he came to this town he "wouldn't) find his name on the church doors. He' would see Methodist. Baptist. Presby-! terian. and so on. If he went inside lie would hear endless discussion on rit-' ual, creed, church authority, apostolic' succession, mode of baptism. Scrip tural Interpretation. In this nation alone he would find 300 denominations fervidly but with a sectarian knife in aeir belt. How those Christians love each other." he added, "Is evident from the way they build without necessity rival churches on opposite corners and try to stnrve each other out. Christian nations have biggest super-Dreadnoughts, heaviest gnus and most skilled weaponry for killing weaker folk. It is the Christian peoples who are most feverishly anx ious what they shall eat. drink and wherewithal they shall lie clothed, for getting that 'after these things do the gentiles seek." It is the Christian folks who are frantic to gain ■wealth, -when their master said, 'lfow hardly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom." Their Lord told them not to labor for houses and lands and the things that perish, hut they aid and abet strikes, lockouts, wealth, poverty, depression, inflation. Stand in th« market places of the Christian and no tice his air of brotherly unselfishness and his trustful leisure." Whew! Now I understand the office of Diabolos! The Term of Reproach, j I will be loaded for that pence de ! stroying skeptic next time. The' dis ciples were first called Christians at ; AnUoeh, that beautiful but vile Greek j city, where was practiced as religion things we blush to reed about. Hither .to they had been called "Galileans" [and "Nazarenee" in derision. Now they j are dubbed "Christians" after the j celebrated crucified criminal—that term would shame the disciples into silence surely. Those early Christians never seemed to apply the name to themselves or to their church; indeed there were no church buildings, as such, mentioned in the acts of the Apostles. The name j Christian was a crime, a reproach, to i bear It a punishment, for the first cen tury and a half. Finally they must ! have recognized the fitness of the term ! They must have snid. "You call us Christ men; that we are. and that we hope to be forever." Sow kings, na tlons. sects, institutions, delight to call themselves Christian. Yesterday the name of Christianity suggested the name and memory of Christ only, today it suggests philosophy, phllan tbropy, Christendom; the best of everything the world contains of art. literature, music, statesmanship. To call a man a real Christian is to honor him. The reproach of my infidel friend was that we fall so far short of our leader. What It a Christian? That's an easy one. Just turn to the dictionary—"a disciple of Jesus Christ, one whose profession and life conform to the teaching and example of Chi" st. a member of a Christian church." But we are men subject to all the limita tions of humanity. We blunder along, seeing through a glass darkly, flghtiutr eiti without and within, a continual struggle. "If we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us." We are church members, followers of various creeds, apparently at variance with each other. We are at best an association of penitent sln- Ders, although some of us won't con fess that. Occasionally one will ad mit, "The good I would I do not. and the evil I would not that I do." Much of our worship Is mummery and dumb show, lots of it for exhibition purpose ministers preaching themselves instead of Christ, laymen living as if there were no God, great multitudes crowd ing out Christ with creed. Notice Christ's ride for admission to his king dom—a child. The characteristic of childhood is openmindedness and trust fulness.
