PULP TIMBER
ALASKA IS
READY SELL
Bids for the sale of 100,000,000 feet
of pulp timber in Alaska have just
been opened in the district forester’s
^ office in Portland. The successful
bidder was the Alaska Pulp & Paper
Company, of San Francisco, Cal., whc
submitted a bid of $1 per thousand
* board feet for certain classes of tim
ber, and 50 cents per thousand for the
remainder.
The higher priced timber includes
such Alaskan trees as Sitka spruce
western red cedar, and Alaska cypress
Western hemlock and other kinds
brought 50 cents per thousand. A
large percentage of the timber adver
tised, forest service officers say, is
suitable for paper making.
This big sale of government timber
is located in Southeastern Alaska, on
Port Snettisham and Glass peninsulas:
within the Tongass national forest.
The timber has been advertised and
sold to the hgihest bidder, as required
by federal law.
The Alaska Pulp & Paper Company
is said to have made already heavy in
vestments in waterpower development
in Alaska, which may be used in con
nection with pulp plants to be built.
H From present indications, forest offi
cers predict this pulp sale as the be
ginning of a legitimate development
and use of the timber resources oi
Alaska to relieve the nation-wide
paper shortage.
FILIPINOS COMING
TO ATTEND SCHOOL
MANILA, June 17 (by Associated
Press).—Young Filipinos are apply
ing for passports to the United States
in increasing numbers, according to a
statement from the executive office of
the government. Most of these are
students who announce their inten
tion of working their way through
school. It is said that the applica
tions for passports passed on daily for
some time have numbered from ten
to fifty. Nearly all of those who
^ have passed the examination entitling
them to government aid while pursu
ing their studies in the United States
have departed and those now applying
for passports are going on their own
resources.
PROHIBITION MAY
CAUSE DOWNFALL
OF CIDER INDUSTRY
SPOKANE, June 17 (by Associated
Press).—Danger that the manufacture
of cider, one of the principal by-prod
ucts processes of the fruit industry in
the Pacific Northwest, may suffei
practical extermination through the
very factor that promised to give il
national importance — prohibition — is
seen by C. H. Feilberg, a cider manu
0 facturer of this city.
State laws forbidding alcohol ir
cider, Mr. Feilberg says, render it al
most impossible for the manufacture]
and the dealer to stay writhin legal lim
its, adn place them at the mercy o1
state and city officials. With only s
few days after its manufacture, he
declared, fermentation progresses fai
enough to make the alcohol content
greater than one-half of one per cent
permitted by the federal law.
Many thousands of tons of apples
that are useless for other purposes arc
used for the manufacture of cidei
every year in this city, alone, Mr. Feil
berg declared. If these apples were
thrown on the market, he said, tlrej
would bring down the price of highei
grade apples, with consequent damags
to the industry.

SCOUTS’ PLACE IN THE WORLD
The boy scout movement is today
one of the world’s most valuable aids
in the development of a higher stand
ard of citizenship, says H. K. Jackson,
president of Oakland-Piedmont Scout
council. ^
Had there been boy scouts a gener
ation ago there would be less of the
existing spirit of national unrest, less
nation-wide dis’Toyalty. The boy scouts
of today are the men scouts of tomor
row, and in the growth of their patriot
ism lies the brightest hope of this re
public.
Established now in all progressive
countries, the boy scouts are training
to put into practice those great human
principles that must eventually find
place in any League of Nations that
can make wars impossible. The scouts
of today are the nucleus of the Grand
Army of Peace and Good Will that will
one day bring permanent happiness to
the world.
Think for a moment of the basic
principle of the boy scout’s obligation
—“Do one good turn daily.” Here is
indeed a great opportunity for the
practical demonstration of the best
that is taught in our schools and our
churches; here is the “new command
ment” which all creeds teach and re
spect.

THE BOY SCOUT'S BUSY LIFE.
Denton MeBeace, a 12-year-old scout
of Spokane, Wash., dived, fully
clothed, into a lake and rescued an
, exhausted swimmer. Denton had had
his first instruction in life saving the
previous week, but he knew' just w'hat
to do.

tory birds and other small game of the
middle w'est. now threatened with ex
tinction, J. M. Welch of Rock Island,

will convert it into a permanent pre
-serve where hunting will be forever
barred. No firearms wdll be permitted
and watchmen will see that hunters
do not land upon the tract. Boy scouts
and similar organizations will be per
mitted to camp there.
A plan to bold a great international
meet of boy scouts in London next
summer has been announced. The
gathering will take place during the
vacation period, and delegates from
the boy scout organizations of tw'enty
six countries will attend.
