NEW ILL LETS
CONTRACT FOR
PULP WOOD
_
The contract for the first pulp wood
to be cut in Alaska was let by the
.4feka Pulp and Paper Company to
Sawyer and Reynolds, loggers operat
ing near Killisnoo. The company’s
boats are now preparing to tow the
booms to Speel river for delivery to
the pulp plant there.
The wood to be used is Alaska
spruce. The first boom should arive
at Speel river shortly and this will be
followed by several more until the
pulp company has enough on hand to
start its plant and to insure it a sup
ply to run on over the winter.
W. P. Lass, city manager and of
ficial of the company said recently:
^|Ve have let our first contract for
pulp wood and deliveries of the wood
in booms will start soon. It will be
Alaska spruce. We are now ready
to buy wood in any quantities from
Alaska loggers, whether they are
big operators, hand loggers or beach
-combers,” he continued. “We want the
logs to make our continued operations
through the winter certain.”
“All the timber that we have bought
> at Port Snettisham will be logged for
us by logging contractors for delivery
at the pulp mill, and we will use lots
of it,” he continued.
The agreement for the contract for
the first of the Alaska pulp w'ood was
• made at Juneau between officials of
the company and William Selfridge,
partner and manager for Sawyer and
Reynolds.
McKay and Kinkaid, loggers, now
have their logging outfit on the ground
at Speel river and are engaged in
clering the .right of way for the pipe
line that is to furnish the power for
the plans. They will also start soon
ot haul the pipe up the hill.
PHO CONVERSATIONS
PICKED UP BY WIRELESS
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 19 (by
.Associated Pjress).—Wireless tele
phone conversation between Los An
geles and Catalina island, southern
California, has been picked up by
^j^ess men here, officers of the
TJflm Radio Association announce.
Everett Seely, secretary of the as
sociation, one of the radio men who
reported hearing the southern Cali
fornians talk, attributed the feat to
the size of his aerial, which is 162
feet from the ground and 120 feet
between masts. There are few
aerials so large in amateur work, it
is said.

ENTERS INDIA ‘
DANCE IN IDAHO
POCATELLO, Ida., Aug. 19 (by As
sociated Press).—Students of Indian
lore are lamenting what they term
the entry of commercialism into the
dances of the Bannock Indians.
These Indians have been holding a
“pole” dance at Bannock Crossing, to
which hundreds of automobile parties
went as on-lookers. The Indians
charged each spectator 50 cents for
the privilege of watching the cere
mony.
An exhibit of blankets, basketry and
similar Indian products was made at
the dance and visitors to it were en
couraged to buy. The large attend
ance of tourists at a recent sun dance
is believed to have prompted the In
dians to hold the later ceremony.
BOOTLEGGERS

RAISE PRICE
HELENA, Mont., Aug. 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Canadian “imported”
whiskey, according to reports current
here, recently advanced $5 a quart,
making the price $18 to $30, accord
ing to age and brand. Much of the
best stuff, at the latter figures, it is
said, changes hands daily in Mon
tana.
One chauffeur who is declared to
have started in the illicit liquor busi
ness a year ago with a few dollars is
now said to be worth $30,000. Scores
of automobiles come in from Canada
daily and so long is the boundary line
that it is almost impossible to stop
the traffic, officials declare.
