THOMAS BAY PAPER
PROJECT TO START
WORK NEXT SEASOr
A report from San Francisco, say:
the First City News, says that it a:
reported there upon good authorit;
that, under a recent reorganization
ample funds have been secured fo
the prosecution of the proposed pul]
and paper project at the head o
Thomas Bay, near Petersburg.
The company secured the wate
rights, and presented their bid to tin
government on a large timber trac
in 1922; the timber bid for being thi
largest contract ever entered into b;
the forest service in Alaska.
The power site is one of the iarg
est in the Territory, it having beei
estimated that it will deliver a con
stant flow sufficient to generate no
less than 50,000 horse power. Th
proposed pulp and paper mill is t
ibe larger than that now operated a
Ocean Falls, in British Columbia, am
will turn out all grades of papei
using both the “short fibre” and th
cyanide process.
The San Francisco report says tha
active operations are to be i begun o
the Cascade Falls project early nex
spring. Cascade Falls is at the hea
of Thomas Bay, which opens off Fred
erick Sound about twelve miles nort
of Petersburg.
| Icehouse On Dock Is
Rapidly Nearing Finisl
The large icehouse which is bein:
constructed on the Seward dock i
now well under wTav and should b
completed within the next few week
according to the present rate of pro
gre&s. The building is being con
structed on stilts so that the outle
for icing dawn ears, will be evei
with the car doors. The capacity o
the building will be 300 tons, th<
amount of ice consumed annually.
In the past the cars have beei
iced down in the local roundhouse !b:
the Leslie crew af men but the nev
arrangement is believed will be mucl
more eonomical as well as more mor<
convenient. In past years the annua
contract for ice for the Alaska Rail
road generally called'for the supply
ing of 600 tons of ice.

Runkus of Casky and

“f " * >
> One of the best two-fisted talkers
t in the Territory passed thru town
. yesterday on his way to Fairbanks,
the Heart of the Golden North, the
i same being one William Sherwin,
r who has been in charge of drilling op
. erations for the Stines interests since
. their entry into the Fairbanks plac
. er fields. Mr. Sherwin has been in
. Seattle for the last two months and
l in talking*over doings Outside said
he had to return to Alaska at this
time owing to Seattle being too quiet
in comparison to Alaska.
Between times, when he was not
flitting about taking in the sights of
• the Puget Sound city, Mr. Sherwin
was engaged in purchasing material
5 and Star drilling equipment for the
s company. By mentioning the fact Mr.
r Sherwin is a two-fisted talker does
, not convey the idea he is a pugilist
: but, according to his many Seward
) friends, he is a conversationalist with
l out a peer. Especially when it comes
to mechanics, does Mr. Sherwin shine
: like the shimmering Eastern star. His
3 description of details, which the ordi
t nary man would overlook, is astound
3 ing, it is said. He carries the reputa
r tion of being one of the expert me
chanics and drill men in Alaska.
Some years ago, in the early days,
i
UUUUUJU-UUUUIJLJ'JJJUU'JVJUlJLfl-M-flJ
Mr. Sherwin took a wood sawing con
tract from Mr. Casky, former well
known Interior newspaper man. Mr.
Sherwin set up his power equipment
so well that at the end of the first
day Mr. Casky checked up on him and
discovered he had cut seventeen
cords of wood—all by himself. This
made Mr. Casky quite vexed, it was
stated, and he cancelled the contract
on the grounds that Sherwin was
making too much money, that he was
cutting too much wood per diem. An
other man was hired who cut about
three cords a day. Casky told Sher
win that he would never make another
dime off of him and Sherwin, retali
ating, cut out a twenty dollar a month
advertisement from the paper, so
everybody was happy.
