TO THE
Republican Voters I
FOURTH DIVISION I
OF ALASKA i
In presenting mvself to you and the voters of the |j
Territory of Alaska as a candidate for Republican
National Committeeman, 1 desire to say that it was
only after repeated and urgent requests by my
friends thruout the Territory that 1 consented to
place my name before you as a candidate.
Having lived continuously in Alaska for 22 years,
devoting my time to the mining, merchandising and
fishing interests of the Territory, and never having •
held any political office during that period, I feel that
my knowledge of the various interests and needs of
the Territory will justify you in supporting my can
didacy for Republican National Committeeman b\
your vote at the Primary Election to be held on
April 27, 1920.
1 believe in Alaskans holding all of the offices in the
Territory; in the opening up. and development of, all
the resources of the Territory in a just and fair man
ner to all concerned; in the absolute control of the
fisheries of Alaska by the people of Alaska; in the
establishment of the wood pulp and paper industry;
in securing appropriations sufficient for more and
adequate transportation and mail facilities; in provid
ing more and better aids to navigation, and the build
ing of trails and roads for developing new country
thruout the Territory.
1 am not allied with, nor responsible to, any so-called
political faction in Alaska, and if elected Republican
National Committeeman 1 will recommend for office
onlv bona fide Alaskans and Republicans—being
guided by the wishes of the Republicans in each divi
sion as to the policy to be pursued. j
Soliciting your earnest co-operation and support,
1 am. respectfully yours,
J. C. M’BRIDE,
Candidate for Republican National Committeeman.

ALASKA FORESTS
CAN SUPPLY POIP
FOR MANY YEARS
It is estimated by the Forestry
>ureau that there are 77,000,(JT)0,
)00 feet lx>ard measure of standing
imber in the Tongasa and Chugach
national forests of Alaska, which
vould make available 100,000,000
rords of timber suitable for paper
mlp, according to Superintendent
Charles F. Flory. There is about
:wo cords of wood pulp timber for
>very 1,000 feet board measure of
:mber. Therefore, this estimate of
ivailable wood pulp timber contem
plates the reservation of a consiJ
jrable amount of the Alaska tim
ber for lumber.
It is figured that this timber will
increase so that the one hundred
million cords of standing timber
would allow the cutting of two
million cords a year for seventy
five years, and it is believed that
proper care and restoration of the
forests would make the two million
cords a year supply continuous for
all time.
This means that the two Alaska
forests are capable of producing
about one-third of the American
consumption of wood pulp, which is
now about 6,250,000 cords a year.
While the Forestry bureau has
not made a close cruise of the tim
ber of the Territory, the work has
been in progress under the direc
tion of an expert on wood pulp for
two years. Not only has a compre
hensive estimate of the standing
timber been made, and one that is
regarded as conservative, but sev
eral suitable sites for water power
have been located.
The bureau has had several ap
plications for the sale of wood
pulp, and it has adopted the policy
of allotting ..a definite amount of
timber with 20 to 25 years to re
move it, and a like quantity to be
held in reserve to be sold to the
Charles E. Herron
Candidate for
NATIONAL
COMMITTEEMAN
Solicits the Support of
INTERIOR ALASKA
REPUBLICANS
IN THE
April Primary Election
A Vote for Herron means a
Vote for Alaska Progress
applicant company after the first al- ■
lotment has been removed. The
price thus far quoted is 50 cents a
cord for spruce and 25 cents a cord
for hemlock and cottonwood, with
reappraisement in five-year periods.
A comparison of this with the
record in British Columbia is re
garded as more favorable than the
terms given by the Canadian prov-1
ince, where the royalties have av
eraged 60 cents a cord for the;
last several years. While there has
been no advance there in the price,
there has been an advance from 50 .
cents to 85 cents per 1,000 feet,
beard measure, for saw timber. The
Canadians reserve the right to
change the rates at any time.
In Alaska the rate charged for
the timber is the only charge the
purchaser has to bear. The bureau
maintains the fire and other guards
and the the purchaser nas no taxes
or interest to pay.
The Forestry bureau contends
that the failure to secure capital
for the pulp and paper manufactur
ing business in Alaska has not been
due to the failure of the bureau to
sell timber on a fair satisfactory
basis, though it is now considering
extending the time for the removal
of a definit' amount of timber sohl
to 30 years. It says *he objections
are: (1) The transportation prob
lem, both as to distance and the
lack of transportation facilities.
These would make it impossible for
Alaska companies o manufacture
paper in competition with Eastern
manufacturers, owing to the cost
of moving the Alaska product to
the center of consumption. (2) The
general isolation and lack of devel
opment in Alaska, particularly the
absence of a labor supply of the
sort that would be needed here. (3)
The large investment that would be
required, the estimate being that it
would cost $1,000,000 to launch a
satisfactory paper enterprise. (4>
Unsatisfactory legislation with refer
ence to hydro-electric power in na
tional forests.
