PAPER MILLS
i IN ALASKA
“During the last few months in
quiries and investigations have been
made by paper making concerns and
others have been made.” said C. H.
Flory, forest supervisor for Alaska
who is planning to leave again in a
few days, to go to Washington in con-j
aection with his office, ‘‘and they
have come from such sources and
have been of such a nature that there
seems every reason to believe that
it will be but a short time until some
them take active steps toward es
tablishing in the North. ’
Mr. Flory is very hopeful that the
Poindexter bill, providing for an ap
propriation of a million dollars to
survey the pulp timber country of
the United States, and if it becomes
law, he is going to try to secure at
least $100,000 to carry on the work
in Alaska.
‘‘With $100,000 to carry on the
work,” said Mr. Flory, ‘‘we could ob
tain a scientific knowledge of all the
timber in the Alaska forest, suitable
for paper-making, could learn the
number and power of the many
streams. It. would be a big step to
ward bringing paper mills to Alaska,
* * , _ * _ _,- ,, 1
nuu in rvr'C'piii £ u rvci auvc.
During the coming summer there
will be available in the forestry de
partment for work in Alaska $75
000. Present plans provide that a
substantial portion of this shall be
usea to open up trails into timber
districts that may be used for paper
making. This will be the first di
rect step toward bringing paper
making to Alaska and will be follow
ed by many others.
“There has been an erroneous im
pression,” said Mr. Flory. “that the
forestry" bureau has put stumbling
blocks in the way of prospective pa
per manufacturing companies. This
is not true for we are offering better
inducements right now than is the
Canadian government. None of the
companies which are investigating,
that is out fits with sufficient cap
ital to carry them through, if they see
fit to start, is making complaint as to
the terms of the contacts for tim
ber. And we are' going to do ever
thing possible, within reason to aid
the development of the country in
this way.” *
One of the reasons for Mr. Flory’s
trip to the East at this time is that
^he wishes to secure more boats for
the service, to take care of the in
creased work w'hich is to be carried
on in the next year and henceforth.
