Less Electricity
For Japanese
TOKYO, (A*)—The average Jap
anese household will be limited to |
25 kilowatts of electricity month
ly, effective Dec. 1, as Japan \
hoards its meager supply of power. ]
Small additional quantities will
be available to students, the sick,
nurses, and families where birth,
death or marriage occurs. Homes
in areas of heavy snowfall will be
granted an adiitional 20 per cent.
The restrictions have led to a
brisk market in generators, espe
cially among theater, dancahall
and geisha house operators. One
Japanese bought a diesel genera
tor which formerly powered a sub
marine to turn the reels in his
movie house.

"The effect can already be felt
in business here,” one Keachikan
businessman said, without further
explanation.
Details of the contract of.the re
ported s3le of Kasaan and Kake
timber rights for $20,000,000 to a
New York concern were disclosed
at Ketchikan by Walter Young,
president of the Indian council at
Kasaan. He was on the way to the
convention.
Identifying the concern as the
Development Corporation of New
York, Young said the company
will “finance and provide equip
ment for logging on a five year
contract.”
“The money, paid the Indians in
the form of stumpage payments,”
he said, “will go to the Indian
council in each townt to be appor
tioned out as the council may de
I cide in the future.”
The contracts, he said, state
that title to the vast timber areas :
near the two communities was
confirmed by “representatives of1
the interior department in a report
dated Oct. 3, 1947.” This was be
lieved to refer to the Hannah re
port. Under tht seven-point con
tract, the Development Corpora
tion will “explore and develop a
commercial market for Alaska
timber.”
The villages will be paid $3 per
thousand feet (log scale) for j *
spruce, he said, $1.50 per thou- j
sand feet for cedar, $2 per thou- .
sand feet for hemlock, one cent
i
per lineal foot for piling or poles !
95 feet or under, and 85 cents per
100 cubic feet for all species in
tended for pulp.
In addition, the cost of cutting
and delivering the timber to the
corporation will be paid the na
tives.
A $500 payment to the treasurer!
of Kasaan by the concern made \

corporation also has the right to
renew the contract for an addition- !
