BOOST FOR ALASKA PULPWOOD
“Paper,” a weekly New York pub
lication devoted to “everything re
garding the manufacture, sale, and
use of pulp and paper” contains an
article in connection with Alaska as
a source of pulp supplies. This mag
azine is a leader in its field and ac
cepted among paper manufacturers as
a reliable authority.
The article is headed, “Are Alaska
Pulp-Wood Lands a Practical Possi
bility?”, and discusses its relation to
Canadian supply sources, whether or
not it can compete with Canada, and
the possibilities of Alaskan timber re
sources from a standpoint of profi
table development in the near future.
The advantages enumerated include
immense supplies of timber, ample
water power and low prices. “Some
American newsprint manufacturers.”
says the magazine article, “believe
that the cost of transportation will
offset these advantages to such an ex
tent that Alaskan pulp will not be
able to compete with the Canadian
pulp in the near future. The fact that
pulp and paper mills are being suc
cessfully operated in nearby British
Columbia seems to be evidence
enough that Alaska, with similar tim
ber and power resources and witl
comparable transportation facilities,
can compete with Canada as far as
business on the Pacific coast is
concerned.”
Despite this view the article con
cedes that “new sources of supply
for raw material are imperative if
the industry is not to pass entirely
from the control of the American in
terests.” In order to keep this con
trol in American hands, mills have
been springing up in California,
Washington and Oregon. This has
been particularly noticeable in lum
ber mills which have brought the
center of the timber industry to the
Pacific Northwest. That this has not
as yet been true of the pulp indus
try is said to be due to other than a
lack of material resources and “be
cause of the much larger investment
required per unit and the need for
power.” The writer then admits that
e\ en this influence will not longer
detard the development of Alaskan re
sources, saying. “But it seems evident
that Alaska, with its practically' per
manent supply of power development
is destined to become a second Nor
uy. Conceding that for a few years
Alaska will not be able to compete
with the Eastern United States or
Canadian pulp in the province of Que
bec, or Ontario, “There is no ques
tion but that real opportunities for
Pacific trade are open to such mills.”
The suitability of the variety of
timber found in Alaskan forests for
making pulp is admitted. Not only
is it suitable for newsprint but cer
tain grades of it can be used, for the
production of “bond, manilla, tissue,
pure fibre, and other high grade
papers requiring a strong, tough,
white fibre.” The passage of the
water power bill, it is said, means
increased development of water power
resources giving stimulus to the build
ing of both pulp and paper mills.—

MORE OF THE MOCK
The proceedings of the San Fran
cisco convention indicate that the
party wrhich won the election of
1912 on the cry “Reduce the high cost
of living and of government,” and
that of 1916 on the slogan, “He kept
us out of war,” is still on the job try
ing to "put it over” oaa the unsuspect
ing.
The platform endorses Mr. Wilson
and all his works, without reserva
tion, evasion or equivocation. The
nominee is a man concerning whom
it will be wrhispered that his views
iiffer widely from those of President
Wilson and that he may be depended
upon, if elected, to reverse many of
the administration's policies.
The platform is silent on the liquor
question, but the candidate is a man
c oncerning whom it will be whispered
in quarters where it will do good, that
he is “wet” and stands for the loos
ening up of the Eighteenth amend
ment. Bryan will point to the plat
form; Tammany to the candidate.
The question, of course, is one for
congressional legislation and the'
piesident will have little or nothing
tc do with its settlement. In this
matter it has been discovered that
each congressman votes as he believes
his constituents wish.
The radicals will be told that the
platform endorses all the revolution
ary theories and policies of the nation
al administration, while to the con
servatives it will be whispered that
Cox is really one of them, and may
■'e depended upon to be particularly
friendly to vested interests.
In other words, we will again wit
ness the performance, under; the dir
ection of a candidate who is one of
the country’s smoothest professional
politicians, of ‘“working both sides of
the street.” Whatever may be said of
the ethics of such a campaign, its
effectiveness, in the light of history,
cannot be questioned. It is up to Re
publicans to put into the campaign
from now until election day every
ounce of intelligence and energy
that they are able to summon to the
fight, never forgetting or failing to
remind the people of the fact that
the big issue of the campaign is the
Wilson administration, its inefficiency
and economy record.—its strong so
cialistic tendencies arid its un-Ameri
canized leagud of nations covenant.
PHILOSOPHY of industry
England became a great mechanical
nation because of her wealth of ma
terials, her secure physical situation
and her strong protective policy. She
had great beds of coal and iron, and
had the men to work them. Shall Ave,
possessing far greater Avealth of min
erals and far greater security of
physical situation, possessing a bound
less domain and an ingenious and un
tiring population, permit all opportun
ities of invention and progress to be
confined to Europe? Shall we contri
bute nothing to the advancment of
mankind? Shall^ Ave not rather lead
than folloAv? Shall Ave content our
selves Avith the rudimental industry
of agriculture, the industry of Adam,
and depend upon other nations for our
mechanical contriArances?
Rather let it be our aim to deArelop
every aptitude of our people, so that
our country may, through the intelli
gence, ingenuity and virtues of its
citizens, continue the work of up
building a great and free nation on
this hemisphere from which the light
of a true social science may shed its
rays back upon the fading civiliza
tions of the older continents, re
kindling the torch of hope and reviv
ing the drooping aspirations of their
peoples.
It would be an extraordinary effect
of liberty and of self-government of
Avliich we boast, if the intellectual
Avork of the world were confined ex
clusively to the people living under
despotic and monarchial governments
and nothing but the least intellectual
forms of labor performed in a free
and self-governing republic.
Colonel Bryan is no longer called
the peerless leader, but he came ravsa'

cheerless as A\rell as beerless.
Senator Robinson of Arkansas holds
the Republican party personally re
sponsible for failure to prepare prior
to 1913 for the war President Wilson
kept us out of in 1916.
Homer Cummings says that it is
time to restore the United States to
her rightful place in the family of na
tions and patch up the national honor.
Tt Avas never necessary to worry about
the national honor or restoring Amer
ica to a front seat in the family of
nations under a Republican president.

From the latest records it is

Secretary Daniels’ instructions to
the Alaska Coal Commission to “Get
out coal” is music to the ears of
Alaskans. By all means get out the
coal, and while the navy is getting
out the coal for its own use, the
government should make evei*y rea
sonable allowance that private capi
tal and enterprise may get out coal
for commercial uses.—Juneau Empire.
The new road being constructed
over the hills back of Keystone canyon
promises to be as beautiful from a
scenic point of view as the far famed
canyon route, with the added advan
ge of being much safer from snow
slides and freshets. The grade is a
slight one and once the autoist or tra
veler is on the ridge a wronderful pano
rama of mountain scenery unfolds to
the view. With the completion of the
repairs some time next month the road
over the summit will be straightened
and the grades reduced so that a min
imum of power w'ill be required to
haul heavy loads to the interior. Many
Tourists will take advantage of the
route to come down the Yukon, up
the Tanana and over the trail to the
| salt water terminal at Valdez, or by
! bringing their autos with them may
I take one of the most beautiful trips
in the country at a minimum of ex
I pense.—Valdez Miner.

/l/fnsf frjpvj around fisheries really “live in their

tant item, and you should buy carefully. Don’t get a cheap
brand or one that you are not sure of. Goodrich “Hi-Press”
is your safest buy. When you buy Goodrich you get the
benefit of fifty years’ rubber experience—we know how to
make the rubber tougher—the boots will wear far longer
and keep your feet dry and comfortable. Don’t accept imita
