PULP DEMAND
The increased use of the national
forests of Alaska, incident to the in
vasion of the territory by the paper
pulp industry, is in line with the pol
icy laid down for the handling of the
national forests during the adminis
tration of President Roosevelt, as
outlined by the secretary of agricul
ture in a letter to the forester dated
February 1, 1905, in which he said:
“In the administration of the for
est reserves it must be clearly borne
in mind that all land is to be devot
ed to its most productive use for the
permanent good of the whole people
#nd not for the temporary benefit of
individuals or companies. All the re
sources of the forest reserves are for
use, and this must be brought about in
a thoroughly prompt and business-like
manner, under such restrictions only
as will insure the permanence of
these resources.
“You will see that the water, wood,
and forage of the reserves are con
served and widely used for the bene
fit of the homebuilder first of all,
upon whom depends the best perma
nent. use of lands and resources alike.
“In the management of each reserve
local questions will .be decided upon
local grounds; the dominant industry
will be considered first, but with as
little restriction to minor industries
as may be possible; sudden changes
in industrial conditions will be avoid
ed by gradual adjustment after due
notice, and where conflicting interests
may be reconciled the question will
always be decided from the stand
point of the greatest good to the
greatest number in the long run.”

Cordova - Alaska
The Elks of Juneau burned the
mortgage on their home at the regu
lar meeting last week and scattered
the ashes to the “four winds.” The
ceremony marking the occasion was
one of the most impressive and the
social was one of the most enjoy
able that has ever occurred in this
city.
Promptly at 9 o’clock the dance
was started with the announcement
that no introduction was necessary,
as everybody present was either an
Elk or an Elks’ friend.
Wjth the arrival of 11 o’clock, that
sacred hour of Elkdom, the ceremon
ies of the the burning of the mort
gage were carried out. George R.
McLaughlin read a paper written by
G. F. Forrest, giving a history of the
building of the home and the trials
and successes of the committee dele
gated to carry on the work.
I lie room was darkened and urn u
o’clock toast was given. In the shad
ows the “mortgage pyre” was
placed in the center of the room, and
upon this was consigned to ashes
last evidence of debt against Ju
neau lodge No. 430. Tl. P. O. E.
As it. was being burned Exalted
Ruler Snow delivered a most ap
propriate apostrophe to a defunct
and condemned mortgage, as fol
lows ; „
“Thou lifeless hut portent mort
gage. You have been n burden
that has caused some sleepless
nights and strenuous days; nights
when we would walk the floor and
think and think and think and then
go nut and drink and drink and
drink and the cause of all of it was
this inamimate piece of paper. O
you nightmare! What worries you
have caused us, and how many
gray heads and bald heads have
you made in our herd, but your
hour has come. The hell has been
tolled for you. While you have
made us suffer you have also
brought us compensation. You have
taught us the value of cu-opera
tion; you have shown us what a
body of men bapded together for
a common purpose can accomplish.
“And for that reason we will in
this your last hour, grant you the
privilege of dying as nobly as did
the ancient Norsman, who, when
his time had come would place
himself upon a burning bark and
with wings spread sail ous upon
the limitless sea.
“And now dust to dust and ashes
to. ashes, we consign you to eter
nal fire from whence you came.”
FEDERATION TO FIGHT
OPEN SHOP MOVEMENT
CLEVELAND, Dec. 3 (by Associ
ated Press).—The federation of labor
convention voted to raise a fund of
$30,000 to fight the open shop move
ment.
LEAGUE SPLIT
SPOKANE. Dec. 3 (by Associated
Press).—A possible rearrangement,
if not a split, in the Pacific Interna
tional baseball League when the
league meeting is held at Tacoma
next week, is forecast in statements
by Spokane officials of the league.
Possibility of a new league compris
ing clubs representing cities west
of the Cascades, including Spokane,
is said to be strong, as, owirfg to the
recently increased railroad fares, it
is held that the distance between
the P.-I. club towns are too great
to permit of professional baseball
being conducted without a loss.
“Bob Brown (of the Vancouver, B.
C. club), is admittedly seeking a
berth in the Coast League,” said
George M. Ferris, president of the
Spokane P.-I. club. “He has told
us that the Vancouver club has $75,
000 available with which to finance
the franchise he hopes to land this
season. With Vancouver in the Coast
League it would leave Seattle,
Everett, Bellingham, Anacortes, Vic
toria, B. C., Tacoma and other west
side towns to form an organization.
“On this side of the mountains, the
league may be made up by Spokane,
Yakima, Wenatchee, Wialla Walt a,
Lewiston, Wallace-Kellogg, Coeur
d’Alene, Spirit Lake, Pullman and
other prospective centers, which
sought admission to the proposed
Inland League projected in 1920 be
fore the I’acitic International league
was formed.”
Following the meeting in Tacoma
of directors of the P.-I. league,
President Ferris stated, another
meeting of the interested baseball
leaders of the Inland Empire will be
called at Spokane at which time
more definite plans will be formulat
ed.
