FROM SEATTLE
BOUT ALASKA
SEATTLE, Doc. 27. (Special Cor
respondence). —'Work of completing
buildings and installing machinery is
progressing so favorably that the first
paper pulp to be manufactured in
' Alaska, will be turned out in the next
few days by the Alaska Pulp & Paper
Company, Snettisham, Alaska, accord
ingto announcements received by the
Alaska bureau of the Chamber of
commerce.
Extensive plans for development of
the present plant during the coming
j year have already been announced by
| the comp'any, and include installation
; of a new mill five times as large as
the present unit. E. P. Kennedy,
president of the Speel river project,
is preparing plans for additional fin
ances required for the new mill
which is to have a capacity of 100
tons. The company expects to be
manufacturing paper within a year.
The new plant will be operated, ac
cording to plans now developed, by
additional water power to be de
veloped by the Speel river project.
This project has a potential water
I power of 30,000 to 40,000 horse power
and is conceded to be one of the best
in southeastern Alaska. Only a small
part of the water power of the pro
ject has been utilized for the plant
erected this year.
The department of the interior has
forwarded to the registrar of the gov
ernment land office at Juneau thir
teen oil leasing and prospecting per
mits, totaling 28,680 acres, land situ
ated in the Katalla, Yaktaga and Cold
bay districts, while the total acreage
of claims covered by the .200 applica
tions for permits filed in Alaska since
the passing of the new oil leasing law
last February covers 690,223 acres,
more than half of which is located in
1 the Cold bay district. In Juneau it is
predicted that spring will see a large
^ number of prospectors scattered
westward from Cook inlet, as men in
tent upon making oil locations are
ready to go into that country.
It is known that in the Aniakchak
field there are a number of claims
located on which no applications have
yet been filed, twenty-four being in
a single group. There are also a large
number of preference right claims in
the Yakataga district for which it is
known that preference right applica
tions will he filed in the near future.
It is conservatively estimated that
more than three quarters of a million
acres in all fields have been located
by oil prospectors.
The 3 920 annual report of the gov
ernor of Alaska has just been re
ceived for reference at the library of
the Alaska bureau, together with lat
est report of the Alaska agricultural
experiment stations. The following
U. S. geological survey bulletins have
also been added to the list available
at the Alaska bureau:
443 — Mineral resources of Princo
William sound, 1910.
533 —• Nome and Grand Central
Quadrangles.
538 — Geologic reconnaissancc-Cir
cle Quadrangle.
605—Ellamar district.
667— Cosna Nowitna region, 1914.
668— -Nelchina-Susitna region.
699—'Porcupine gold placer region.
Copies of these reports may be con
sulted at the Alaska bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Reports that natives .on the Kusko
kwim river in Alaskrf are starving are
being investigated by government
agents, according to advices received
by the Seattle office of the Alaska
division of the United States bureau
i of education from W, T. Eopp, chief
of the bureau, who is at Washington,
D. C.
November reports from the office
of the U. S. collector of customs’ at
Juneau, Alaska, show commerce for
the month amounting to $6.546.447.
With the decrease in salmon ship
ments, the total commerce of the ter
ritory for the month has shown a
corresponding, decrease. November
; figures, however, still show salmon
j loading in the value of shipments,
i with copper a close second. Twelve
wiuuoauu jjuuwud yj i tuppci vaiucu at
$2,168,584 were shipped south during
November. Shipments of tin ore and
concentrates, valued at nearly $10,000
were a feature of Alaskan commerce
for November.
The business men of Ketchikan
have subscribed $2,500 with which to
send a representative to Washington,
D. C., to induce the department of
justice to support a request for a divi
sion of the fourth judicial district of
Alaska.
tAt the present all of Southeastern
Alaska, otherwise known as the Pan
handle, extending from* Skagway on
the north to Cape Pox on the south,
is served by one federal court. The
court is behind with its work both at
Juneau and at Ketchikan, and it is
claimed that there is sufficient work
to keep two judges occupied.
The Seattle Chamber of Commerce
is to be asked to aid Ketchikan in
securing the division of the district.

“TWENTY-THREE AND ONE-HALF
HOURS LEAVE”
STEPS TAKEN
BY AUSTRALIA
HELPS TRADE
NEW YORK, Dec. 117 (by Associ
ated Press).—The Australian govern
ment has taken steps to enable coun
tries whose currency has depreciated
to trade with Australia, according to
advices received by Mark Sheldon,
commissioner for that dominion.
Australia has been collecting cus
toms duties at the mint par rate of
exchange based on the value of in
voices in the currency of the coun
try where the goods originate. This,
the commissoiner says, has made it
virtually impossible for certain coun
tries whose currency has depreciated
to trade with Australia, because the
duties would be too high.
At the time it tended to prevent
French and Italian exporters from
using the exchange position to dump
goods at prices with which neither
Australian nor British manufactur
ers could compete.
To remedy this situation, the Aus
tralian house of representatives has
passed a bill proposed by the minis
ter of customs which provides that
the board of trade shall review the
position whenever the exchange rate
in any country falls ten percent be
low the mint par rate and authorize
that board to recommend to the min
ister that the bank rate of exchange
should be adopted in assessing duties.
