: will go before the Mayof Broth

Alfred Widmark has been
taken on the faculty force of
Sheldon Jackson School. He will
teach several classes during the
j school year and next year will
be assistant engineer on the
i school staff. Alfred is taking the
I pre-medical course at Oregon
State College. “Depression” has
its effect on education as on
everything else so he dropped

Of much interest on the Cam
pus of Sheldon Jackson School
was the announcement of the
engagement of Miss Hannah E
Richmond and Mr. Holden Le
Roy. Miss Richmond is teacher
; of the 7th and 8th grades and
! Mr. LeRoy is in charge of the

August—both will continue

From the land of the Chil

It won’t be long now—all that
remains of five feet of snow is
a little wet spot down on Main
Street. Warm sunny days will
bring out the oranges, lemons
and all the nice fruits for which
Haines is famous.
Things at the High School are
just grand now—Mrs. Bradbury,
wife of the Principal, the Big
Shot, arrived in Haines after
a long trip from Kansas City,
Mo. Mr. Bradbury is about the
most envied man about here
James Gibson has been visit
ing here with his sister Mrs. J.
W. Brown. Jim has duties to
perform at Skagway the capital
of Lynn Canal hence returned
home.
A smoker was pulled off by the
Doughboys on the 2nd. A group
of Skagwayans were down to see
the go and Haines was well re
presented. The set to’s were
four rounds each as follows:
Aranda vs Gigilio, 120 lbs; Moul
ton vs Yarberry, 140lbs; Epps vs
Shaffer, 1401bs; Burton vs Koutz
1401bs; Schall vs Abbot, 1701bs.
The bouts were snappy with
plenty of punch back of some,
not so much behind others. Ar
anda took decision in the first
bout in a manner that was
pleasing to all.
Moulton was a better sport
than boxer so he took the de
cision on the chin.
Grit won out in the third be
tween Shaffer and Epps. Shaffer
had the fight right up to the
knockout but was on the wrong
end of the knockout. After de
corating the arena with the
blood of his youth, Epps was on
the fade with plenty of punish
ment coming his way. With a
last rally he pushed a fast one
against Shaffer’s chin—the rest
was easy—bells for Shaffer.
The main event between Bur
ton and Koutz was too short to
be fun. Koutz got in a lucky one
before the gong sounded in the
first round. The bell stopped the
count. Burton was unable to
continue the second round so
the referee stopped the fight and
handed Koutz the tin cross to
I wear.
Abbot and Schall put on a
rough sort of a melee with Ab
bot having the fight right up to
the knockout—but he took the
knockout. All the boys were
game—a good time was had by
all.

Wn. Pulp Production
-v
Alaska has three times as much
hemlock as Washington State. The
pulp mills have no excuse for re
maining out of Alaska. Perhaps
the Forest Dept., can explain—
Why?—Editor
-x
Four months’ operation of the
new bleached sulphite pulp mill
erected by the Weyerhasuser
Timber Company, Longview,
Wash., to utilize its many hun
dreds of millions of feet of
western hemlock timber in
Southwest Washington, has ap
parently convinced the company
of the soundness of its venture.
Breaking a new trail in the
comparatively new field of pulp
and paper manufacture in the
Pacific Northwest, 'the Weyer
hasuser Company late last Ne
vember began the manufacture
of a superior grade of chemical
wood pulp from western hem
lock to compete with the best
this, and several foreign coun
tries, have to offer the paper
trade. The experiment has prov
ed itself eminently successful.
Recent reports indicate paper
manufacturers the majority of
them in states bordering the
Great Lakes and in -New Eng
land, have enthusiastically ac
cepted the western product for
manufacture into innumerable
varieties of high grade paper.
By its operations the Weyer
haeuser Company i s proving
that the Pacific Northwest need
stand second to no other section
in pulp and paper manufacture
and by the prediction of Robert
B Wolfe, manager of this pulp
plant, it will reach first rank. In
a recent address before the
Iongview Chamber of Com
merce membership, Mr. WoKe
declared that Longview might
well expect to be the pulp man
ufacturing center of the world if
ideals being sought and in a fair
way of accomplishment are real
ized. Wolfe is also known to be
more than mildly interested in
chemical by-products industries (
to utilize the residue remaining
after the hemlock fibres are ex
f r»Q ntorl nnln
Vast Hemlock Stands
The answer to the meaning of
this proven value and accepta
bility of western hemlock wood
pulp and the practicability of
manufacturing it on the coast
for eastern paper makers lies in
a survey of the vast stands of
hemlock available throughout
the Pacific Northwest*. Cowlitz
County has some two billion and
a quarter feet.
Longview with the thriving
Weyerhaeuser mill in addition
to two paper plants, is very de
finitely feeling the beneficial ef
fects of this new trend in hem-1
lock utilization and holds little
doubt but what greater forward
steps are soon to be taken by
other industries.
This initial venture of the
Weyerhaeuser Company was
more than just another welcome
industry. It was a development
that drew the attention of the
pulp and paper industry of the
nation and of several foreign
manufacturers who have been
importing large quantities of
high grade pulp with which the
western plant is now competing.
The Weyerhaeuser “experi
ment,” which signifies so much
for Longview and the Northwest,
was established as a full sized
operation. The company erected'
an ultra-modern plant, 4ncor-j
porating many innovations in!
design for the sake of efficiency!
and perfection of product, and!
brought in men known in their
field from coast to coast. Wolfe
nimself has a record of more
than thirty years in Atlantic
Coast pulp manfacture culmin
ating in the presidency of the
Pulp Bleaching Corporation of
New York City. His specialty is
bleaching, the key factor in
production of highest grades of
puip.
The Weyerhasuser plant is a
175-ton daily capacity industry
employing 175 men.
Development Important
A statement by F. R. Titcomb,
general manager of the Weyer
haeuser Timber Company, west
ern division, illustrates the im
portance of the pulp develop
ment from the standpoint of the
timber owner. Mr. Titcomb ex
plained that his company has no
favorable outlet for a large part
of the material making up the
forest. Western hemlock com
prised a considerable part of
the wood left after logging op
erations removed trees most de
sirable for lumber manufacture.
The hemlock, he pointed out,
proved to be highly desirable
for pulp and its acceptance and
popularity on the market was
glowing. The Weyerhaeuser
Company, therefor, became in
terested in pulp manufacture
as timber owners, rather than as
lumber manufacturers seeking
new fields. Pulp manufacture, he
said, offers new hope to stump
age owners and will also exert
a stabilizing influence on the
lumber industry and will not
conflict with the lumber busi
ness.
This situation is apparent in
the Longview operations, where
one of the three head mills o;i
the Weyerhaeuser site is engag
ed most of the time is cutting
hemlock to supply the pulp
mill. This division of the lumber
plant operates irrespective of
the lumber situation.
There has never been any
question on the practicability of
the Pacific Northwest as a scene
of some types of paper manu
facture. But in choosing to start
its pulp operation by manufac
ture of the highest possible
quality product, the Weyerhaeu
ser Company has pioneered, just
as did the newsprint and card
board makers, and is perhaps
stepping into an even broader
plane. Already most persistent
and well founded rumors are
heard of other large scale oper-j
ations preparing to establish
here on the Columbia
:
Riveri£
waterfront within the shadow of I f.
the Weyerhaeuser pulp division.
