’MONTANA PULP
SUITABLE FOR
PAPER MAKING
MISSOULA, Mont., Jan. 22 (by As
(*sociated Press).—Conditions unusu
ally favorable for the location, in
northern Montana, of a paper mill with
an annual capacity of 1,300,000 cords
of pulp wood are described by R. P.
McLaughlin, supervisor of the Black
^ feet national forest, in a report cover
inginvestigations he has been con
ducting for several years.
The most likely location, Mr. Mc
Laughlin says, in in a compact body of
timber on the Flathead river, just
west of Glacier National park. He
says this stand would afford 2,500,000
cords of pulp wood, easily accessible
to government roads already built at
■♦a cost of $200,000, and handy to nat
ural waterways for cheap transoorta
tion to the mill. Natural power sites
may be found on or adjacent '.o Flat
head lake, it is declared, and railway
transportation is close by.
The market for such a mill, the re
port states, would be found in the .n
termountain territory from the Cana
dian border to the Gulf of Mexico. It
is estimated that the annual paper con
sumption of this region is 140,000 tons.
^Sufficient wood to run a mill with this
capacity is available in the Flathead
territory for sixty years’ operation, or
with rotation of cutting, it is de
clared, the yield will be found prac
tically inexhaustible.
It is expected that bids for the pur
chase of government timber in this
section, with a view to erection of e
?rfkper mill, will be asked by the for
est service in the near future.
AT TOP PRICES
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., Jan. 22
(by Associated Press).—The bitterest
competition for fur trade in the his
tory of the Canadian Northwest is
fcraging this winter. Unprecedented
prices for furs are said to have
brought 10,000 buyers to the Western
provinces, and it is believed that hun
d^ds of fur agents have risked their
lives to work their way to the wild
Northern regions where competition is
not so keen and where the trappers’
prices are not so high.
Trappers are reaping the golden
harvest this year, it is claimed. Last
year, according to some fur men, the
trappers received only small advances
in prices for pelts, whereas the fur
dealers made tremendous profits. This
year, it is said, conditions are re
versed. Trappers are demanding
from 200 to 300 per cent more for
their furs than they did a year ago.
Farmers in this region have been
making considerable money hunting
wolves. They have taught their dogs
* ride in wagons or automobiles until
wolves are sighted. The fresh dogs
then invariably corner the wolves,
which are shot. Coyote skins
brought about $5 before the war. This
year the average price is $25. Musk
rat pelts sold for 25 cents a few years
ago. The price this year ranges from
to $3.
