SEATTLE AFTER
WATER POWER
FIELD OFFICE
SEATTLE, Sept. 7 (Special to the
Daily Times).—In pushing its claim
-■t
that Seattle be designated as the field
office of the federal water power com
mission for administration of the
commission’s business in the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska, the Seattle
chamber of commerce in a statement
today pointed out that it should not
be necessary for those engaged in the
development of the great power re
sources of the Northwestern states
and Alaska to conduct all their busi
ness through an office in San Fran
cisco, 958 miles from Seattle. A firm
in southeastern Alaska would have to
have their application and the corres
pondence travel to and from Ketchi
kan to San Francisco, a distance of
1606 miles, unless Seattle is designat
ed as the field office.
ic is esumaiea mat me tongas ror
est reserve alone can furnish over a
million tons of paper products yearly
and to date the forestry department
has marked out fourteen areas in
which there are paper pulp possibili
ties, each having from 5,000 to 30,000
known horse power with surveys in
complete. The aggregate of Alaska’s
great water powrer resources cannot
now be estimated, it was stated at the
Alaska bureau of the chamber of
commerce. The United States geolo
gical survey and the bureau of fores
try have been conducting investiga
tions for a number of years but have
only covered a small portion of the
territory.
Not only to the state of Washing
ton and other northwestern states is
the law a great boon, for it also ma
terially affects the development of
Alaska. Alaska has paper pulp re
sources probably in excess of any sec
tion of the United States. The bureau
of forestry officials state the Tongas
national forest alone will supply in
definitely from one-third to one-half
of the present paper requirements of
the entire country.
It is only in the last few months
that the bureau of forestry has been
making any real effort toward bring
ing about the development of this
great resource which is all dependent
upon the use of water power. This
spring the bureau of forestry, in order
to hasten the paper pulp development
in Alaska, made a tentative division
of the Tongas national forest into
fourteen paper pulp units, having an
aggregate of about forty-one billion
feet of paper pulp timber. Late ad
vices to the Alaska bureau of the
chamber of commerce indicate that !
the forestry officials will probably re
arrange these units so as to provide
for twenty paper pulp units, which
would give an average stand for each
unit of approximately two billion feet
of timber. Th’a will provide for an
indefinite supply for the larger type
of paper pulp mill.
Seattle teachers in government
schools located in the Eskimo region
about Bering straits and the Kotzebue
districts have experienced a cold and
stormy summer along with consider
able suffering as a result of depleted
food supplies, according to communi
cation received by W. T. Lopp, Alaska
Alaska chief of the United States bu
reau of education, from Cape Prince
of Wales, the westernmost point of
the continent.
Word came to Dr. Lopp from Fred
R. Tait, world war veteran. Mr. and
Mrs. Tait are teachers in the govern
ment Eskimo school at Wales, located
on the isolated cape.
Uncle Sam’s harvest of seals on the
Pribolof islands this season will rep
resent a value of more than $,2,000,
000, according to preliminary advices
of the 1920 catch received yesterday
J)y Seattle headquarters of the Uni
ted States bureau of fisheries, which
has control of the Bering sea seal
islands. Last year skins from the
Pribilof islands brought as high as
$146 each at auction to furriers. The
last United States government sale
brought an average of only $73 per
skin, and the price is said to be on a
further slump. Several thousand
skins, the first of the 1920 harvest on
the Pribilofs, will arrive in Seattle on
the naval radio tender Saturn about
Sept. 10.
Commodities ranging from jewelry
to clam juice made up Alaska’s ex
ports for July, valued at $3,371,276, ac
cording to figures received at the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle chamber
of commerce. Copper and fish lead
in the shipments from the territory
to Seattle, but the list covers a wide
variety of products. The report for
the month’s shipments from Alsaka
to Seattle shows:
Total value of Alaska pro
ducts .$3,371,276
Products of United States
returned . 122,918
Exact figures for the 1920 pack of
Alaska salmon are not available, but
the statistics of last year furnish a
safe basis for comparison as to per
centage of various grades of canned
in the “clam” industry. During 1919
sixty-two companies operating close
seventy canneries in southeast Alas
ka packed 3,108,364 full cases of sal
mon of which 1,146,943 were “chums.”
It is reported on good authority that
the percentage of “chums” to the
higher grades of salmon in this terri
tory will be even greater this season
than in 1919 when as the above fig
ures show, “chums” constituted nearly
35 per cent of the total pack. Figures
show that the 1919 pack of “pinks”
in this territory was 1,521,897 cases
or about 50 per cent of the total. Of
the better grades of salmon the “red”
pack totaled 240,206 cases and the
“coho” 169,300 cases. Thus it will be
seen that the combined pack of the
lower grades of salmon was 2,668,840
cases out of a total of 3,108,364 cases
of all grades. The combined pack of
the two better grades was only 409,
508 cases.
Leslie’s magazine (New York) of
August 28 has an article profusely
illustrated with Alaskan views, head
ed “Alaska, the Land of the Closed
Door: Its natural Riches Locked up
by a Dog-in-the-Manger Policy.” The
article and the six illustrations were
furnished by the Seattle chamber of
commerce.
The gold yield of the placer camps
in the Yukon valley for 1920 is es
timated to tatol $4,485,000. Six weeks
more will wind up the season, as the
winter freeze-up will begin then.
Volney Richmond, who has just com
pleted 3,000 miles visiting posts in
interior Alaska, estimates that the
camps of that region will yield
$2,985,000.
