'PAPER SUPPLY
Greater use of the vast forest re
sources of the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska, and the growing of much more
timber in New England and the Lake
states, were advocated by E. T. Mere
dith, secretary of agriculture, in a let
ter to the American Pulp and Paper
Association, read at a meeting of that
body which recently closed in New
York. Such a program, the secretary
sail would promote a permanent solu
tion of the news print problem and is
in accord with constructive measures
now being advocated, including the
proposed Poindexter pulp survey pro
vided for in a bill now pending in the
senate.
Essentials in this program, the sec
retary said, were the continuation of
technical investigational work such as
the forest service now carries on and
contemplates, and adequate support of
the service’s fire protection and other
activities. The secretary’s letter ex
pressed his regret at being unable to
accept the invitation to address the as
sociation. and was read by Carlile P.
Winslow, director of the forests prod
ucts laboratory, who represented the
department of agriculture at this gath
urine'
' While the work of the forest serv
ice already deals with many problems
©f^ the industry, it should be materi
ally extended, and could, with advan
tage to the public as well as to the
industry, cover a wide range of prob
lems and activities, from the growing
of pulp timber to the many difficult
technical questions involved in pulp
and paper manufacture,” said Mr. Mer
edith in his letter, an abstract of
which follows:
"The United States is today facing
the most critical pulp and paper situ
ations in its history. Of these the
.pnews print situation is the most seri
ous. Present demands, abnormal
though they may seem, are merely an
incident in the rapidly growing nor
mal demand for news print paper.
"Today were are dependent upon
other countries for the equivalent of
two-thirds of the pulp wood, pulp, or
news print wrhich goes into American
newspapers. Our news print industry
is concentrated largely in New Eng
s'
land, New York and the Lake states.
1 am told that 60 per cent of the pulp
and paper concerns in Newr York have
no stumpage of their own, and that
less than five have enough timber land
for continuous future operation. The
predicted life of the industry in New
York, New Hampshire, and even in
Maine, where the great bulk of our
Eastern pulp wood still remains, is
alarmingly short.
“We have, on the other hand, large
quantities of suitable news print
woods in the Pacific Northwest and in
Alaska. The annual growth of tim
ber on the national forests of South
eastern Alaska alone would supply half
of our present American news print
requirements. Here the indusry is
undeveloped.
“A far greater degree of indepen
dence in news print manufacture can
b^ accomplished by two measures—
the development of the industry in the
Pacific Northwest and in Alaska, and
'the large-scale growing of timber in
New England and the Lake states.
Both of these measures would be
grealy stimulated by the passage of
the Poindexter pulp survey bill how
pending in the senate. A pulp survey
would secure the facts on which a
.sound development of the industry in
the Northwest and in Alaska could be
based, and it would also afford a basis
for the production of pulp timber in
the Lake states and in the Northwest.”
ONE OF ROOSEVELT’S
LAST NOTES WRITTEN
, TO FORMER ALASKAN
4 _^_
To a former Alaskan, and one iden
tified in many ways with the progress
of the territory, fell the honor of get
ting one of the last letters penned by
Theodore Roosevelt. This letter is
in the possession of Major Henry K.
Love, at present in the quarteremaster
corps of the army, and of course prized
very highly.
Major Love was one of the mem
bers of the famous Roosevelt Rough
Riders, and served in the armyv dur
ing the Spanish-American war, as well
as in the Philippines during several
insurrections.
»
He was a special agent of the land
office in Alaska, and investigated the
Cunningham coal claim entries at Ka
talla and other important matters. He
was United States marshal at Fair
4
banks for several terms, earning his
reappointment because of his fearless
•administration of the laws.
He was in the war six days after war
was declared, and was promoted to
be a major because of his excellent
work at Camip Stewart, Va., an em
barkation cantonmenjt. Mrs. Love and
their two children, Miss Bonnie and
Miss Madison, live in Washington
during Major Love’s temporary assign
ment in West Virginia, where he is
supervising an army industrial project.
The letter from Colonel Roosevelt,
which was written from his New York
desk on December 28, eight days be
fore his death, reads as follows:
“My Dear Major: Your letter
touched and pleased both Mrs. Roose
velt an& myself. Captain Archie was
delighted to see you. My four sons
have done pretty well, haven’t they?
As for you, Major, I have always said
that you were exactly the type of
Cromwell’s ‘Ironsides.’
“With wannest regards to Mrs,
I Love, faithfully yours,
“T. ROOSEVELT.”
