ALASKA PULP WOOD.
I
The district forester at Portland, l
Oregon, who has jurisdiction over j
the national forests of Washington,
Oregon, and Alaska, reports that the
inquiries being received by his of
fice concerning the possibilities of
paper pulp manufacture in South
eastern Alaska presage the extension
of this important industry to this
new field in the near future.
The constantly rising pulpwood
cost to mills in the United States,
as the source of raw material gets i
more remote from the present pulp
manufacturing centers, are responsi
ble in part for the increasing price
of paper, which has reached such a
high point that it has been the sub
ject of a number of congressional j
investigations. An abundant supply!
of cheap paper is of great import-!
ance to the United States, and if j
this is to be assured in the face of;
the increasing demand it will be j
necessary for the industry to de-!
velop in new regions having a vast:
supply of cheap pulping woods in j
connection with cheap water power.!
The district forester recently stat-'
ed: “The immense timber and pow- \
er resources of Southeastern Alas- ]
ka are well adapted to the needs of
the paper industry, and the forest
sendee is anxious to see them
brought into use for this purpose.
It is furnishing inquirers with all
available information concerning the
possibilities there in an effort to en
courage their interest in this new
field, whose development will be of
great benefit to the Nation as a
whole as well as to Alaska.

MEXICAN REGULATIONS
STOP WORK IN SOUTH
HOUSTON, Tex. — Government
regulations have forced suspension
of drilling operations in oil fields
about Tampico, Mexico, but the for
eign-owned companies are diverting
their efforts to construction of ad
ditional storage facilities, according
to J. H. Houze, senior member of
a contracting firm and for seven
years a resident of Tampico. Mr.
Houze came back to take his family
to Mexico, where he will make his
home.
“We are having some labor trou
ble in Tampico,” said Mr. Houze
“as men in our district are makinf
demands like the laboring men in tht
United States. Otherwise condition:
in Tampico are about as usual."

AMERICANS WILL WORK
MINES IN ZACATECA'
LAREDO, Tex.—The rich minera
lands of the Mexican state of Zaca
tecas are to be exploited by Ameri
can capital, according to Mexico Cit;
newspapers, which, say capitalist
from the United States already hav
entered that field. Plans and spec
fications for new mining shafts, fo
new smelters and other improv*
ments have been drawn by America
engineers, it is said. The news
papers say all machinery and othe
supplies for operations in Zacatecs
will be purchased in the Unite
States.
MISS SPOKANE WILL
QUIT SIDE-SHOWING
SPOKANE, Wn.—With the forth
coming marriage of Miss Marguerite
Motie there will pass into history
the character of “Miss Spokane,"
who for eight years has typified, per
sonally and in a hundred other ways,
the spirit of' this community.
In March, 1912, Miss Motie was
chosen from some 150 young women
of this city and environs as the
best representative of the Indian
princess created by Miss Eleanor
Gaddis in an artistic competition to
select a “trade mark” for the city.
Since that time. Miss Motie, as
“Miss Spokane," clad in her fringed
dress and leggins of buckskin, with
buckskin moccasins, has represented
this city personally at many conven
tions, fairs, and celebrations, here
and in other states, and her picture
has been reproduced literally hun
dreds of thousands of times in ad
vertising and publicity matter, and
has been adopted by a number of
business firms as their trade mark.
HOUSE HUNTERS GIVE
WOMAN MUCH TROUBLE
SAWTELLE, Cal.—A new form
of “disturbing the peace” was
brought to the attention of the Saw
telle police by Mrs. S. .1. Edson,
who complained that she was “pes
tered beyond endurance” by house
hunters.
i “I’m cabled to the door fifty times
ia day by persons coming to know
| if the house is for rent or for sale,
i although there is not a sign of any
kind on it. I am so tired answering
| these calls I hardly have any
I strength left for my housework.
J “I want it stopped.”

BUENOS AIRES.—American busi-'
ness men * in Argentina received
with pleasure the announcement that
the United States Shipping board
hail allotted seven of its fast pass-,
enger liners for service between New ,
York and South American ports. in-j
eluding Buenos Aires. They have
felt that they have been struggling
against a handicap, owing to slow
mail communication and passenger
transportation between the United
States and this country.
If an ^American here wanted to
send a letter to the United States,
he knew in the past that it would
require at leas 30 days for a letter
to reach New York, and that fre
quently it would require 40. To
send a representative to the United
States on a business mission would
require three months before the
agent could return to Buenos ’Aires.
Meantime the American’s chance
of doing business has fallen into
the hands of a European competi
tor, who could communicate with his
principals by mail within three
weeks. Fast steamships have been
arriving here from European ports
almost twice a week, while the mail
from the United States came mostly
by slow freight steamers.
One of the difficulties of which the
Americans here complained was the
delay in receiving bills of lading for
goods sent from the United States
to Argentina. This was due to the
fact that the bills could not be sent
on the steamer which carried the
goods, and there were few fast
steamers which could bring them
here at the time the goods arrived.
When the bill of lading was sent
on a slow ship the goods were held
in the custom house here until she
arrived.
On the other hand, bills of lading
on goods shipped from England
came through on fast steamers,
which often arrived here before the
goods were received.
The Americans here say that cable
communication to the United States
costs 53 cents a word and that the
capacity of the cables is trebly over
taxed.

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND
BECOMING FUR CENTER
CHARLOTTETOWN', P. E. I.—
Fox ranching: in this island province
is steadily growing: and this season
it is estimated that about 5,000 will
be shipped from here. The prices
range from $1,000 each for silver
fox skins down to $10 for the cheap
est reds.
Ranchers are giving up the breed
ing of the cheaper grades of foxes,
as they cost just as much to feed
as the others, and domestic reds are
now a rarity. A number of indi
vidual farmers in this province are
starting small fox ranches.
