Dan Sutherland will again be j
a candidate before the Repub- j
lican primaries next April for \
renomination as Delegate to
Congress from Alaska, not
withstanding reports to the
contrary, according to Will A.
Steel. In a recent letter to Mr.
Steel the information is con
tained that Delegate Suther
land expects the Department
of Justice to select its Federal
appointees in Alaska within
the next month. Four years j
ago most of the appointments i
were made about the middle!
of August and confirmed by
the Senate a few days later,,
so that the new officials were!
enabled to assume office early !
in September. Steel also stated
that William A. Paul, of Ket
chikan, is not seeking the ap-.
pointment of District Attorney
for the First Division, and that
Harry G. McCain, assistant U.
S. Attorney at Cordova, is be
ing strongly urged for the |
higher position at Juneau, j
while the present incumbent;
A. G. Shoup, is seeking re-ap-:
pointment.

the last session of the Terri- j
torial Legislature, which in
cluded an appropriation of
$10,000. The projects to be
undertaken and the money al
lotted to each are: For elk on
Kruzof Island, $2,000; for elk
on the Kodiak-Afognak island
group, $2,500; for muskrats
for the Kodiak-Afognak group,
$1,500; for beaver on Baran
off and Chichagoff islands,
$1,600; for beaver on the Ko
diak-Afognak island group,

Two engineers, representa
tives of eastern capital, are
now in Southeastern Alaska
investigating pulp timber and
water power resources and the
possibilities of the manufact
ure of pulp and paper. One
of them represents the Intei
national Paper Corporation:
the other has not disclosed his
principals. Their investigat
ions have disclosed that the
local opportunities for the in
dustry were more favorable
than had been anticipated by
ether engineer, it is said. Fig
ures prepared by them indi
cate that pulp and paper can
be manufactured move cheap
ly in Alaska than elsewhere
on the Pacific coast.
