ALASKA PRINT PAPER
Negotiations are under way which'
are expected to initiate the estab
lishment of an important industry
in Southern Alaska capable of fur-;
nishing- perpetually a large propor
tion of print paper of the United1
States says an Associated Press re-,
port from Washington D. C.. Sec-;
retary Wallace of the department
of agriculture expects soon to sign
contracts with a number of ’e
ponsible concerns for the pur base;
of pulpwood from Alaska National
Forests and for the allbration of
water-power sites through the Fed
eral Power Commission for Ue prr
pose of manufacturing both ] ulp
wood and paper. On the Tongass
National Forest. It is stimated
there is a source of supply of tim
ber which can furnish perpetually (
an annual yield of print paper equal
to one-third of the total national
consumption of the United States.
The industry when established wi’i
be up a permanent basis with raw
material afe a reasonable piic»
For some time the Forest Service
has been collecting the information
e-senna! to the practical develop- ^
men* of the Tongass National For
est and the work is well toward
completion. The merchantable tim
ber on that forest includes at least
100,000,000 cords of western hem
lock End Sitka spruce.
As a step forward the establish
ment of the paper industry in Al
aska the Tongass Forest has been*
tentatively divided, into fourteen
zones, cash embracing sufficient
Timber to furnish a large paper
mill with a permanent supply of
raw material. Each zone has been
deliniated so as to include water
power sites sufficient to meet the
requirements of manufacture.
The Federal Power Commission
has been cooperating with the For
est Service in securing the water
power data. In addition to providing
reliable information reparding wat
er power available for the Alaskan
paper industry, the work has re
sulted in the discovery' of a number
of valuable water power sites not
heretofore known to exist, notably
one permitting the development of
from 22,000 to 24 000 horsepower
at very low cost.
C. X. Christensen and B. W.
Miller have acquired the Montana
House property and have contracted
with Theo T .ompson to remove the
remants of the burned upper struc
ture.

Delicious
Hams and Bacon
If vou want something extra nice for breakfast
serve FRYES DELICIOUS BACON. It’s tender
and sweet, with a flavor that is most pleasing. "Ba
con at it's best" is the way we would describe it.
And if you want something out of the ordinary
for your next morning’s breakfast have a slice of
FRYE’S DELICIOUS HAM, produced from choice
voung porkers. Once you have tried FRYE’S DE
LICIOUS HAM and FRYE’S DELICIOUS BA
CON we are sure you will prefer them to any
other ham and bacon you have ever eaten.
Everv Alaska housewife should keep a pail of
FRYE’S WILD ROSE LARD in her cooler. It’s
better than ordinary lard in that it contains the
rich leaf and back fats not found in ordinary lard.
Most good dealers in Alaska handle FRYE'S DE
LICIOUS BRAND HAMS and BACON and
FRYE’S WILD ROSE LARD. If your dealer does
not we would verv much appreciate it if you would
advise us of the fact.
