MACHINERY FOR
KUSKOKWIM IS
SHIPPED NORTH
SEATTLE, Sept. 2 (Special to the
Daily Times).—In preparation for
greatly increased activity in the Kus
kokwim district, gold mining mach
inery and equipment will be shipped
from Seattle to that part of Alaska
aboard the steamship Catherine D. by
four companies according to represen
tatives of the Northern Commercial
Company, which has chartered the
vessel for a voyage to the north. The
Catherine D. will sail from Seattle
within the next two weeks. The ves
sel also will have consignments of
fuel oil, gasoline and other freight.
The Catherine D. will discharge her
cargo in Unalaska where it will be
loaded aboard the auxiliary powered
schooner Ozmo of the Northern Com
mercial Company and taken to Bethel
on the Kuskokwim river. From Bethel
the mining equipment and machinery
will be carried up the Kuskokwim by
the steamboat Tana, a distance of be
tween 500 and 600 miles for delivery
to the mining companies to which it
is consigned.
Efforts of what are apparently two
different bands of fur smugglers, to
surreptitiously slip valuable Alaska
furs into Seattle in boxes and false
bottomed trunks, were frustrated by
customs agents. Four cases of caribou
hides and a case of moose hides,
labeled “repack dry goods,” are de
tained pending a search for the smug
glers. Trunks with false bottoms and
eight beaver skins and 13 marten
skins are also held by the customs
inspector's office on the waterfront.

customs agents, persons in the employ
of steamship companies, agents of
smugglers in Alaska and also in Seat
tle, are involved.
Heavy shipments of freight for dif
ferent points in Alaska have been
made during the week. The North
western and Victoria took large car
goes for northern ports. The Cordova
is due to load here early this week
for Kotzebue sound. She will load a
fuh cargo of supplies for missionary
and government maintained institu
tions bordering on that far northern
bay, which is the most northern
extremity served by the Alaska
Steamship Company. Additional car
go has been received on the dock for
the steamship Ketchikan, bound for
Nome and St. Michael.
The New York Times, Aug. 15, pub
lished a letter from the Seattle cham
ber of commerce, publicity bureau,
controverting a number of mis-state
ments made in that paper regarding
the climate of Alaska. The letter
gives statistics regarding the climatic
conditions and refutes the popular
idea of a frigid country of ice and
blizzards. It also gives interesting
statistics regarding the wmiiderful
agricultureal products and resources
of the territory. The article, in the
Times, under a column head “Alas
ka’s climate and Growth’’ must prove
of great benefit to the territory.
Alaska can supply timber for mak
ing 2,000,000 tons of paper annually
without depleting its resources and
this production is about one-half of
the present consumption of the Uni
ted States, it was stated at the Alas
ka bureau of the chamber of com
merce, following the receipt of a re
port made by Col. W. B. Greeley of
Alaska, making an investigation of
pulp possibilities. The bureau advises
that before Colonel Greeley and other
forestry officials return they will vis
-.a——MM,_
~ ■ --:
it Juneau, Haines, Sitka, and other 1
pons. The report states that Colonel
Greeley advised that the national for
ests of Alaska hold a solution of the
paper shortage in this country, and
the forestry bureau estimates that
the forests of southeastern Alaska
are able to yield timber to keep
twenty or more large paper mills
running continuously and that the
growth of the new timber will be suf
ficient to replace that which is cut
in the industry. The bureau is also
advised that a contract for the first j
pulp wood to be cut in Alaska has
been let by the Alaska Pulp and
Paper Company to loggers near Kil
lisnoo. The company’s boats are now
prepared to tow the booms to Speel
river for delivery to the pulp plant
now nearing completion there. The
company is now ready to buy wood
in any quantity from Alaskan loggers
whether they are big operators, hand
loggers or beach-combers. Loggers
are clearing the right-of-way for the
pipe line that is to furnish the power
for the plant.
A definite program for the protec
tion of Alaskan salmon has been
started and immediate steps will be
taken to insure protective legislation,
according to Wjard T. Bower, head of
the United States bureau of Fisheries
who has just left for Washington, D.
C., after a tour of inspection along
the Alaskan fishing banks. George B.
Grigsby, delegate to congress from
Alaska, is of the same opinion as Mr.
Bower, that the Alaskan fisheries are
the best assets of the northern terri
tory. In discussing the urgent need for
protection of the salmon industry of
the territory Delegate Grigsby states
that decreasing packs and smaller
runs from year to year, make a change
imperative in the administration and
in the regulations to be administered.
Indicative of the growing apprecia
tiou by the press or the nation ot
Alaska’s problem and the necessity
of giving the territory home rule is
seen in the extensive compilation of
editorial comment on Alaska publish
ed in the Literary Digest in the Aug
ust 21 issue. In papers as widely
separated as Knoxville, Tenn., and
New York City is expressed the real
ization that Alaska holds the solu
tion of some of Uncle Sam’s problems,
namely coal, coal oil, and paper pulp.
The editors quoted give unanimous
approval of the territory’s claim that
it be freed from the incubus of fed
eral control and given home rule.
Accurate climatic data for South
eastern Alaska based on observations
taken at all the larger towns are avail
able from the records of the United
States weather bureau.
Four hundred different styles of
automobiles are produced in the Unit
ed Stastes.
