ALASKA OFFERS EVERY NATUR
AL INDUCEMENT FOR PAPER
PULP MANUFACTURERS
FOREST DEPARTMEMNT ACTIVE
Public Warned One Obstacle in Way
of Pulp Industry is Forest Fires
That the paper industry of the
United States will establish itself in
Southeastern Alaska on a large scale
in the near future is confidently pre
dicted by Governor A. Parks and Dis
trict Forester Charles H. Flory.
The Forest Service is making ag
gressive efforts to bring one of more
big pulp mills to Alaska. B. F. Heint
zleman, assistant district forester
with headquarters at Juneau, is now
traveling throughout the United States
and Canada on a special mission, the
sole purpose of which is to turn the
attention of the big paper manufac
turers to Alaska.
That the time is ripe for this move
ment is indicated by the fact that the
United States is dependent on the
Dominion of Canada for nearly one
third of our pulpwood requirements.
The great pulp and paper mills
throughout the Lake states and the
east are bringing the bulk of their
pulpwood from Capada. It is to these
interests that Alaska must appeal if
it is to have a paper industry.
Southeastern and Southwestern Al
aska offers every natural inducement
to the pulp and paper manufacturer.
Water power, a prime requisite, is
there in abundance. The great spruce
and hemlock forests of these sections
offer a nearly unlimited supply of the
best grades of pulpwood. Cheap wa
ter transportation is available, cli
matic conditions are favorable, and
market conditions are good.
The pulp and paper industry ranks
next to lumber as a forest industry.
It employs 150,000 persons and its out

put is valued at nearly one billion dol
lars annually. More than nine-tenths
of all our paper comes from wood
pulp.
As paper has become one of the
indispensible commodities of civilized
life it has created a new denendance
on the forests. When it is consider
ed how essentially paper enters into
every general form of knowledge dis
semination, instruction, and record,
it may be said that our civilization
could not be maintained without the
pulp that comes from the trees.
When the paper industry becomes
established in Alaska on a large scale
some of the Territory’s economic ills
will begin to vanish. For a number
of years Congressmen and other pub
lic officials have been asking “what
is wrong with Alaska? Why does not
the Territory advance more rapidly?”
Numerous reasons are advanced
concerning this condition, but one of
the outstanding ills of the country is
plainly evident, and that is seasonal
work. There is not year long em
ployment to keep a large permanent
population busy.
In order to cure this ailment we
should build up and utilize the re
sources of the Territory, such as min
ing, fishing, timber, etc. The more
these resources are developed the
farther we will go toward establish
ing a permanent population and accel
erating year long employment.
Consumption of local timber will
some day play an important part in
the development of Alaska, and every
effort should be put forth to stamp
out forest fires which still annually
sweep many timbered areas, destroy
ing timber the Territory can ill af
ford to lose, and killing young growth
that is needed to establish the for
ests of the future.

ater for tonight.

OAKLAND, April 28. (JP)—A small
bomb was placed on the tracks of the
Southern Pacific railway here early
this morning and nearly wrecked the
commuters train which ran over the
bomb and set it off. Several persons
were slightly injured by flying glass
from the shattered windows but
Otherwise no serious damage was
done. The train was nearly lifted
off the tracks, narrowly averting a
catastrophy.
