ALASKA’S OPPORTUNITY
The possibilities offered by Alaskan
forests for pulp wood production are
almost limitless. And water power,
the cheapest form of power in exist
ence, is to be found in abundance
almost in the very midst of the forest
themselves.
The United States, facing a serious
paper shortage, is turning 'to Alaska
as a source of possible relief. Com
menting on the sale of 100,000,000
feet of timber form the Tongas nation
al forest to the Alaska Pulp and Paper
Company, the Portland district forest
er’s office declares that “this is but
the beginning of the development.”
American newspapers, numbering
30,000 or more, are said to compose
more than one-half of the total news
papers in the world, the aggregate
circulation for the United States and
Canada being given as 34,363,000
dailies and 17,233,000 for Sunday
papers in 1919. These figures indi
cate the enormous quantity of news
print required by the daily press, ex
clusive of that used in other branches
of the publishing business.
This newsprint paper made up four
fifths of the imported paper and
paper manufacturers in the country
in 1919, according to the divisions of
statistics bureau of foreign and dom-.
estic commerce. Imports of newsprint
paper in 1919 increased in quantity
five per cent, and in value 25 per
cent over 1918 imports. Canada is
the chief source of all classes of wood
and pulp as well as printing paper
brought into the United States.
Some years ago the United States
produced the entire supply of wood
pulp consumed but the domesic indus
try is no longer able to supply raw
materials. The Canadian mills are
reaping a bountiful harvest and news
print has been boosted to such figures
that many small plants have been
forced to go out of business.
Relief must be had. Centralization
of supply in Canada has produced a
situation almost unbearable. Eastern
timber lands have been depleted by
rapid conversion of forests into pulp
wood and no adequate reforestation
has been carried out, leaving them
out of the question as a continued
source of supply. New forests must
be utilized. And nowhere can a sup
ply be secured more than in Alaska
The extent of Alaska's pulp wood
resources are not definitely known.
At the last session of congress Sena
tor Poindexter introduced a bill con
templating an appropriation of $1,000,
•0$ for a pulp and paper survey of
the United States. It is estimated by
Superintendent of Forests, Charles H.
Flory that $200,000 of this will be
available for an Alaskan survey If
the bill should be passed at the com
ing session of congress, which is a
consummation to be hoped for by all
Alaskans. And in the meantime every
effort should be made to see that
parties inquiring for information as to
possible sites for pulp mills get full
and complete data on the subject.

Tentative Attitude of Women Toward
Their Jobs Suggests Instability.
By MRS. KEY COMMACK, New York City Banker.
I think the woman in business who gives up one particle of her
feminism is throwing away just that much chance of success. Even greater
will be her mistake to trade upon her sex.
Concentration is what the business woman needs who would be success
ful, greater concentration upon her work to the exclusion of a thousand
things that distract the feminine mind.
The tentative attitude of women toward their jobs has given em
ployers an impression of feminine unstability. Itdias kept women’s wages
below men’s.
T do not believe women will find aping of masculine mannerisms and
clothes an aid to success. An exquisite feminine personality is unique
and an asset.
Farmers Do Not Intend to “Produce,” if
Others Insist on “Reduce.”
By SHERMAN J. LOWELL, Master of the National Grange.
The farmers’ belief concerning the way to reduce the cost of living is
for everyone to be willing again to do a reasonable day’s work. In the
reconstruction everyone must get ready to actually work again, to save
again and to a considerable degree get back to thrift, sanity and common
sense, or else accept as permanent the present scale of living costs, in
which event we might just as well stop ranting about the high cost of
living and realize that a new basis of economic procedure is here to stay.
This is the declaration of the National Grange which sees in the
future no reason why its members should slave long hours, seven days a
week, to supply cheap food to the other workers of the country, who en
joy short hours and unlimited opportunity for rest and pleasure.
Speaking as the largest and best established farmers’ organization
in America, the grange hereby notifies the world that the farmers do not
intend to keep responding to the call, “Produce, produce, produce,” so
long, as other lines adopt as their slogan, “Reduce, reduce, reduce.”

The high price of sugar is said to
be causing hardships. People back in
the states who have been making
home brew have been forced to quit
on account of the excessive cost.—

The government has at last got a
sure ’nough railroad. One of its trains
ran over and killed a pedigreed gent
leman cow belonging to a Matanuska
farmer. This shows the bull was
asleep or that the trains exceed
ed their five-miles-an-hour schedule.

Seattle, of course Is Interested in
the development of Alaska. It means
as much to the one as to the other.
But to claim that Alaska is a posses
sion of the Puget Sound metropolis is
somehow objectionable to Alaskans.
Alaska has had many claiments, and
more rulers. Each new discoverer
annexes it for his own and each suc
ceeding administration puts in a new
set of overlords. But Alaskans still
_l
have hope, despite disappointments,
that some day in the not distant fu
ture, they will be recognized as the
true owners of their own country,
makers of their own destiny, rather
than squatters on a possession of
Seattle or an other city, state or or
ganization, municipal, financial, or pol
itical. It is that hope which holds
most of them to the task of carving
homes out of the “last frontier.”—
