PAPER INDUSTRY FOR
ALASKA
A large paper-making concern
is .said to be holding .tentative
awards for a big tract of spruce
and hemlock in Alaska, suffi
cient to supply raw material for
lifty years to a mill of 500 tons,
daily capacity.
Whether or not this particular
deal results in construction of
a paper mill in Alaska, it is cer
tain that vast pulp wood re
sources of the Northern Terri
tory will be drawn upon event
ually for much of the paper
| used in the Western States.
| Migration of the pulp and pa
per industry to the Pacific
j Northwest has been one of the
! most important developments
of the last decade in this area.
It has brought an investment of
more than $20,000,000 in this
State in the last few years. Our
supplies of suitable woods may
be said to be inexhaustible, for
they will be taken largely from
forest reserves on a sustained
basis. But uses of paper and
pulp are multiplying, and it will
not be long drawn before Alas
fca’s timber resources can be
profitably drawn upon. Estab
lishment of the paper-making
industry will greatly accelerate
the development of the Northern
Territory.—Seattle Times.

POPULAR COUPLE COMING
SUNDAY
-o
The bill at the Coliseum for
Sunday and Monday, will in
clude Nancy Carroll and Gary
Cooper in “The Shopworn An
gel.” It is a Paramount picture
and that always means class.
The scenes are laid in those
trying days when America was
preparing for war. It is the story
of a young soldier, an honest
thinking boy from the country
on his way to France, in love
with a butterfly girl with a
Broadway complex—a boy in
love with what he thinks a girl
is, and a girl whose past clouds
the sky of her future.
The boisterous humor of the
soldier camps leads up to the
heart-stirring climax of a girl
who finds herself unworthy of a
glorious love.
The play is an ideal vehicle
lor Nancy Carrol’s emotionalism
and should prove exceptional
entertainment.
