Supervisor Weigel, of the forestry
bureau, with headquarters at Ketchi
kan, who was here last week, believes
that paper pulp making is to be a com
mon industry in southeastern Alaska,
and that very soon.
“I have already received letters
fiom manufacturers of pulp for paper,”
he said to a representative of the Sour
dough, “and just as soon as they can
find a suitable water site, they will be
gin operations.
“Southeastern Alaska,” he eontina
ed, “is the finest wood pulp reserve m
the world. Both the spruce and the
hemolck of Alaska are excellent for
that purpose. The world is short on
wood pulp, and I am satisfied that thero
will be an immense quantity of it pro
duced here,
* ‘ These two applications are for the
region of Ketchikan, but the vicinity
of Douglas and Juneau is every bit as
good for the pulp business, and I look
for the starting of other mills very
soon. ’’
Frank H. Newliall has resigned as in
spector of boilers at the local office.
He left on the Jefferson for his annual
vacation and the expiration of his va
cation period will be coincident with
the expiration of his term of office.
Mr. Newhall came to Juneau in 1904
under appointment as local inspector of
boilers, he and Capt. George H. Whit
ney composing the local boards of
steamboat inspectors. He has oc
cupied that position continually since
that time, and by great personal effort
and ability has to no little extent rais
ed that department of the merchant
marine under his jurisdiction to a high
standard of efficiency.
Being of a genial disposition Mr.
Newhall lias made many friends not
only in Juneau but all along the coast
from the Canadian boundary to Nush
agak in the Bering sea, and all regret
his departure from this locality.
Mr. Newhall’s departure from Alas
ka was not the result of any desire to
get away from the country, but was
due to the condition of Mrs. Newhall’s
health which was such, as the result
of sickness last winter, that she was
compelled to seek a southern climate.
Mrs. Newhall and daughter Sadie, pro
ceeded Mr. Newhall to Seattle last
spring. Recent reports from the sound
would indicate that her health is very
much improved which will please a
host of friends of the family here.
