It is the | cecasion of the second Southeast Alaska Music Fes- | tival which starts here Wednesday and will be con- | cluded Saturday with a concert on each of the two days. The music festival is more than a local com- munity affair. It embraces the young musicians from | Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg who join with | Juneau students in staging the event. ’ It is a fine thing that the best musicians from |the schools of these four cities of the Southeast | TERRITORIAL AUDITOR'S DUTIES | The humorous requests for information from Alas- kan residents relative to the functions of various Territorial offices can be taken as indicators that the general information regarding the duties handled by these offices is meagre. The Territorial Auditor, for example, audits and issues warrants for payment of all just claims against the Territory. However, this is but'a small part of the duties of this office now held by Territorial Auditor Frank A. Boyle. In addition to these duties. and among others of importance, Mr. Boyle is member of six administrative boards along with the Governor, the Territorial Treasurer, Attorney Gen-| eral, Highway Engineer and Commissioner of Educa- tion, under which most of the business of the Terri- tory is administered. The Auditor of the Territory of Alaska is secretary of the Board of Administration for the Territory. This board aids in planning, directing and authoriza- tion of expenditures of appropriations made by the Legislature for construction of roads and trails, con- struction of school houses, shelter cabins, cleaning of streams, subsidy for radio broadcasting, installa- tion of radio telephones and other special appropria- tions. The Auditor of the Board of Liquor Control, which prescribes regulations govern- ing the disposition of alcoholic liquor in the Terri- tory of Alaska and the issuing of licenses for the sale of liquors, as vested in it by the Territorial Legislature He is secretary of the Pioneer's Home Building Commission which constructed the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka, secretary of the Law Revision Board which had charge of the compilation of the Compiled Laws of Alaska, 1933, and the distribution of them, and also the distribution of special laws passed by the Legislature. As a member and secretary of the Board of Budget the Auditor works with fellow members in the prepara- tion of the biennial budget and submits estimates for the use of the Legislature in making appropria- tions. In addition to the foregoing he is a member of the Territorial of examinations of all Auditor is also registrar of records of all births, deaths, and marriages occuring in the Territory. Additional duties of the Auditor include passing on the qualifications of all corporations desiring to is also secretary Territorial Banks, and as do business in Alaska and insurance companies oper-} ating in the Territory, the issuing of brands, and keeping an inventory of all Territorial property. As previously pointed out other Territorial officials, | Banking Board, which has charge | vital statistics keeping | should get together in a musical festival. It means that in another year or two youngsters from these Alaska schools may be qualified to take part in state or national festivals in the States. It is a laudable undertaking and worthy the sup- port of every one in the community. Capacity au-| diences should be on hand for both concerts the youngsters are to put on Wednesday and Saturday. | A representative audience not only encourages the players but the programs they will present will be | worthwhile hearing and your support not only makes | this year’s festival possible but _wul mean better things in the future. Financial Sentiment (New York Times.) The response of home and foreign financial watch- ers to the various stages of the Rhineland dispute has been an interesting incident. When the news- papers talked of “the imminent clash” and of the im- pending European war, financial markets were vir- | tually unmoved in Europe, and in this country merely receded slightly, recovering quickly all of the lost ground. | The practically hopeful attitude of financial circles has, however, a basis in the distinct improvement of trade and industry. This recuperative process has gone forward in Europe and has been even more strikingly illustrated during the past month or two !in the United States. In spite of the continuing “war talk”—now on the action by one Government, now on that of another—has had little or no effect in checking the improvement of industry, whether in Great Britain or in the United States. The Federal Reserve index of industrial production in this coun- try, based on the average 1823-25.as 100, was lately | published for February; it stood at 96 per cent com- pared with 98 in January, but with 88 in the same | month of 1935. If it had not been for the interruption | of industrial activities by the flood, the producnon’ index for March would undoubtedly show a substan- | tial advance, though presumably not yet reaching the | adjusted figure of 104 attained in December. Not the | least striking illustration of the substantial indusLl'ialg | demand which stands behind this recovery has been | the quick recuperation from the temporary halt in activity -caused by the river overtlows. Last week | | production of steel in the country as a whole fell from | 6'% per cent of capacity to 54; in Pittsburgh alone it | declined from 46 in the preceding week to 28. In the report on this week’s activities of the trade, how- | ever, the estimate of current production has risen to | 62'% per cent of capacity in the country as a whole and | to 51 in Pittsburgh. It appears to be the trade’s | testimony that we need not anticipate the sudden re- | duction in activities which has repeatedly occurred |after the passing of the high March figure. Senti- ment, both in that industry and in others, seems to | iretain a cheerful belief in continuance of recovery ’both in business confidence and actual production.

Edward Krause is being tried on a charge of kidnaping Wil- liam Christie of Douglas. The gov- ernment is introducing evidence. The Federal Grand Jury in session 22 days, completed its work and was dismissed. Several secret indict- ments were returned. The report of the jury said there was an unbe- lievable amount of crime and vice going unpunished solely for the lack of sufficient evidence to convict. An ‘investigating department was recommended. The report said in- estigation showed liquor was being sold to men intoxicated, back rooms of saloons were being used for Sun- day dancing and minors have been allowed to frequent saloons. President Woodrow Wilson told Congress in joint session that Ger- many had been notified that un- less the illegal submarine campaign | is discontinued, the United States | will break off diplomatic relations. Over two score of children of the Methodist Sunday School took part in the annual egg hunt in the Casey- Shattuck addition. The Border Line transportation announced its first class passenger fare, Juneau to Seattle, will be $25 and second class $15. Lester O.

It should be a favorable day for launching any new enterprise. There is a good sign for partnerships, es- pecially those in the legal pro- fession, but character as well as other qualifications should be in- vestigated with great care. Neptune is in an aspect that fore- shadows bitter enmities that breed evil deeds. False reports will be disseminated and gossip will be pre- valent! Accidents will be many, despite | “safety first” precautions. Air ac- cidents and railway crashes are fore- cast. The aged should be careful avoid falls, for bones will be brok- en easily. Both physicians and surgeons are to profit greatly in the coming months when there will be a con- tinuance of the influenza epidemi and many digestive maladies. The birthrate will increase and boys probably will outnumber girls. | "Helene W. L. Albrecht | Fraternal Societies of Gastineau Channel T PROFESSIONAL | f f L B. P. 0.
