ALASKA UMBER
IS SUITABLE FOR
PAPER-MAKING
Alaska, with 100,000,000 acres of
virgin forests, will become the paper
pulp center of the world in the next
few years, according to J. L. McPher
son, secretary of the Alaska bureau
of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
With the world clamoring for more
print paper, Mr. McPherson points to
the untouched supplies of the North
ern territory .as offering an almost in
exhaustible supply of wood pulp, and
says that already the wood pulp in
dustry is clamoring at Alaska’s doors.
Large mills located along the north
ern border of British Columbia sup
plied Seattle with $68,000 worth of
pulp during 1918, says Mr. McPher
son.
Standing timber in the Tongas for
est has been roughly estimated at
70,000,000,000 feet. This forest should
be worked to enable the young trees
to reach maturity, and should per
petuate itself indefinitely, says Mr.
McPherson. The Ketchikan and
Wrangell districts are accessible and
offer excellent opportunities for mills,
as water power is at hand in unlim
ited quantities, he asserts. These
tracts contain well over a billion feet
of timber.
Existing laws prevent the procur
ing of title to land and are believed
to be responsible for the retarded de
velopment of the pulp industry, says
Mr. McPherson. However, indications
point to the early utilization of Alas
/”...:.
kan forests as the paper-supplying
region of the world, he asserts.

The Tarantula.
The scientific name of that Ameri
can spider called the tarantula Is cten
Izn Callfornlca, and It Is one of the
trnp-door spiders. It Is common In
New Mexico. Arizona and California.
According to Kingsley this spider digs
Its hole In a fine soil which w’hen dry
Is nearly as hnrd ns brick. These
spider holes are sometimes nearly an
Inch In diameter and vary In depth
from two to three Inches to nearly a
foot. The mouth of the hole Is en
larged and then closed by a thick
cover which fits It tightly. That cover
fits Into the mouth of the hole very
much ns a cork does In the neck of a
bottle.
Fooling the Pests.
“What can I do,” asks Smallholder
to keep the birds from destroying my
plums, apples and pears?” The best
way is to sell the orchard when they
are asleep. The simple creatures will
go on destroying some one else’s
plums, apples and pears without dls
covering the deception that has been
practiced upon them.—Punch.
