PAPER AND PULP DEVELOPMENT
MUST COME
Every day the need for expanding
the paper production of the United
States'-.becomes more and more ap
parent. This with the fact that the
Pacific coast, particularly Alaska, of
fers the greatest field in which to ex
pand, makes it more and more cer
tain that the time is not distant when
pulp and paper-making will be one of
the greatest of Pacific coast and Alas
ka industries. New paper mills ax-e
being erected in Washington and Ore
gon, and still more are projected. But
the demand for paper is so great that
Alaska forests must be invaded soon.
The start was made in Alahka this
year when the Alaska Pulp and Paper
Company began development at Speel
river. The next mill to be started will
probably be nearer Juneau. Within a
short time there should be a dozen
to a score of pulp and paper mills in
Southeastern Alaska.
The total capital investment of 94
Canadian paper and pulp mills for the
calendar 1918, just published by the
Dominion bureau of statistics and
quoted by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, is $214,744,704; of
which British Columbia’s share is
$42,705,988; Ontario’s $88,344,807;
Quebec’s $101,456,296; New Bruns
wick’s $7,852,225 and Nova Scotia’s
$763,388. Of these 94 mills, 37 are
pulp, 31 paper and 26 pulp and paper.
At a recent convention of forestry
experts and paper manufactures held
in New Hampshire, a conference be
tween representatives of the United
States and Canada to settle the con
troversy over pulp-wood from the
crown lands of the eastern Canadian
provinces was urgod by Col. Henry 8.
Graves, former chief of the U. S. for
est service, and approved by the presi
dent of the American Paper and Pulp
Association.
The chief forester of a big Quebec
company defended the Canadian pol
icy asserting that the situation had
been misrepresented for the purpose
of forcing Canada into withdrawing or
modifying her pulp-wood embargo. He
said that the state of New York had
forbidden cutting on state timber
lands and argued that if this was per
missible in the United States, the
Canadian provinces had the right to
regulate the cutting and manufacture
of wood from the crown lands.
•The secretary of the Canadian Pulp
and Paper Association said that the
shortage of printing paper in the
United States was due not to Cana
dian timber regulations but to world
wide conditions aggravated by the
excessive use of paper by both Ameri
can and Canadian publishers.
Col. Graves urges the development
of the existing available pulp wood in
the western United States which he
says would make this country inde
pendent in supplies for newsprint ma
terial. Col. Graves, when in Alaska,
said this territory offers our great
est opportunity for development. —
Juneau Empire.
CHARACTER OF WASHINGTON
To the Historian few characters ap
pear so little to have shared the com
mon failties and imperfections of hu
man nature as that of Washington.
There are but few particulars that can
he mentioned even to his disadvan
tage. Instances may even be found
where, perhaps, it may be thought
that he was decisive to a degree that
partook of severity and harshness,
and even more; but how innumerable
were the decisions which he had to
make!—how difficult and how import
ant, through the eventful series of
twenty years of command in the
Let it be considered what is is to
Let it be cnsidered what is to have
hhve the management of a revolution,
and afterwards the maintenance of or
der. Where is the man who, in the
history of our race, has ever succeed
ed in attempting successively the one
and the other?—inot on a small scale,
a petty state in Italy, or among a
horde of barbarions.'but in an enlight
ened age, when it is not easy for one
man to rise superior to another, and
in the eyes of mankind,—
“A kingdom for a stage,
And monarchs to behold the swelling
scene."
And plaudits of his country were
continually sounded in his ears; and
neither the judgment nor the virtues
of the man were ever disturbed. Ar
mies were led to the field with all the
enterprise of a hero, and then dis
missed with all the quanimity of a
philosopher. Power was accepted,
was exercised, was resigned, precise
ly at the moment and in the way that
duty and patriotism directed. What
ever was the difficulty, the trial, the'
temptation, or the danger, there stood
the soldier and the citizen, eternally
the same, without fear and without
reproach, and there was the man who
was not only at all times virtuous, and
at all times wise.
The merit of Washington by no
means ceases with his campaigns; it
becomes, after the peace of 1783, even
more striking than before; for the
same man who, for the sake of liberty,
was ardent enough to resist the pow-j
er of Great Britain, and hazard every
thing on this side of the grave, at a
later period had to be temperate
enough to resist the same spirit of
liberty, when it was mistaking its
proper objects and transgressing its
appointed limits.
The American revolution was to ap-|
proach him, and he was to kindle in |
the general flame: the French revolu
tion was to reach him, and to con
sume but too many of his country
men; and his "own ethereal mould, in
capable of stain, was to purge off the
baser fire victorious.” But all this I
was done; he might have been par-!
doned though he had failed amid the
enthusiasm of those around him, and j
when liberty was the delusion; but}
the foundations of the moral world:
were shaken, and not the undertaking!
of Washington.
As a ruler of mankind, he may be!
proposed as a model. Deeply im
pressed with the original rights of hu
man nature, he never forgot that the
end, and meaning, and aim of all
just government was the happiness of
the people; and he never exercised
authority till he had first taken care
to put himself clearly in the right.
His candor, his patience, his love of
justice, were unexampled; and this,
though naturally he was not patient,—
much otherwise,—highly irritable.
He therefore deliberated well, and
placed his subject in every point of
view, before he decided; and, his un
derstanding being correct,, he was
thus rendered, by the nature of his
faculties, his strength of mind, and his
principles, the man, of all others, to
whom the interests of his fellow crea
tures might, with most confidence, be
intrusted;—that 1b, he was the first
of the rulers of mankind. — William
Smith.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Let us give local merchants who ad
vertise the same generous deal we
give the mail order houses and we
will find that they cannot only match
the price when the parcel post, freight
or express charges to Seward is add
ed, but he will be able to beat—in the
majority of instances—the best mail
order price when quality is studied.
Giving the local merchants the same
generous deal doesn’t mean dropping
in just now and then for a petty de
man.—Seward Gateway.
Several Citizens who believe that
the time is ripe, are working for a
new school building for Valdez. De
spite the objections of many of our
citizens, who are conscientious in the
belief that such a building would
boost their taxes, the fact remains
that if Valdez is to remain in the edu
cational map, she must have a new
school building in the near future.—
Valdez Miner.

Naturally enough the infant indus

You can no longer part your hair

Every man likes to flirt with the
lady on the top side of the silver dol

Pretty soon someone will be de
claring the ten commandments uncon

Many a married man is often sur
prised to see the way his excuses go
down — and probably he would be
more surprised if he could see what a
little way they sometimes go down.
