Dr. Ernest H.
Gruenin" Is
r
Gov. Alaska
The appointment of Dr. Ern
est H. Gruening. as Governor of
Alaska, follows directly in line
With the Administrations policy
of selecting persons who have
the knowledge and will to do
things and get somewhere.
Dr. Gruening. formerly chief
of the division of Territories and
Insular Possessions, visited Al
aska about three years ago and
spent much time in attuning him
self to a country ripe for devel
opment of its natural resources.
As head of the territories div
ision nearly all matters of leg
islation affecting the Territory,
came before him.
His wise administration of this
department and his eagerness to
assist in opening up this vast
treasure-house how shown him
to be a man of foresight and am
bition.
Hard-headed, sensible, and of
the most practical turn of mind,
Dr. Gruening will come to his
new appointment with the drive
and will to get things done.
Of our firmer Governor, John
W. Troy, we wish him recovery j
and trust he will return to Alas-!
ka to assist in its further devel
opments.
Governor Troy, a former news
paper man, and a pioneer-build
er, has done much in his term!
of office to focus national atten- i
tion on Alaska, and bring to it j
people interested in development.
His long fight for recognition
; of the rights of the people of I
1 this Territory to govern them- j
selves, and have more control j
Oover their own industries, is j
bearing fruit. With these many i
thoughts in mind we say farewell
j to Gov. Troy.
Devoted to the principles of
the present administration—a
legitimate chance for every man |
to pursue his right to life, liber-1
ty and happiness—Dr. Gruening'
will be welcomed to Alaska j
where his many ideals, it is hop-;
ed will discover fruitful soil in
which to grow.

Headed for Home
NEW YORK. Sept. 4 —The in
: ternational shipping situation
was confused today with various
lines thmeselves without definite
word as to the exact positions of
many of their liners.
Radiograms remained unans- j
wered as ship masters deperate
ly attempted to conceal their posi:
■ tions to safeguard themselves
from raiders, as war broke out. ■
Several lines imposed strict
censorshpi in their New York j
offices, and declined any com
ment. Some refused freight ship J
ments, hut as yet there is no j
1 great pileup on wharves.
