the Scotchman who stayed away
from a municipal banquet because
he didn’t know the meaning of the

NATIONAL CAPITAL
Eastern paper mills are urging
President Hoover to take action
to halt pending negotiations for
the sale of National Forest timber
in Alaska for conversion into pulp
and news print. It is alleged that
this additional production of pulp
in Alaska would “thrust” unwar
ranted production upon an over
expanded industry struggling with
a diminished demand and vanish
ing profits. The matter has been
referred to the Interior and Agri
cultural Departments, where it is
stated that action by the govern
ment to prevent development of
the industry in Alaska is not prob
able at the present time, as the
forests are ripe for cutting and
considerable cost is involved in de
terioration. It is stated that con
ditional permits for the purchase
of two important west coast
groups of 10,000,000,000 board feet
of pulp wood in the Tongass Na
tional Forest are involved in the
negotiations. It is expected that

In July 1909, the National Edi
torial Association held its annual
meeting in Seattle and one of the
strong drawing cards that induced
a decision to go to the Pacific
coast was a promised excursion
to Alaska. One hundred berths
were reserved on the steamer
Northwestern, but over 150 editors
and their wives from all over the
United States finally made reser
vations, but only 136 could be
accommodated. And that number
sailed from Seattle on July 24,
returning on August 12, being the
largest tourist party that had
made the trip up to that date.
And they certainly had an en
joyable trip that took in South- i
eastern Alaska, Cordova and out to
Mile 50 on the railroad then build
ing, Valdez, Seward, and a side
trip to Kodiak Island and Cook’s
Inlet. The writer was the chair
man of the committee on arrange
ments and was reminded of the
big event by a pencil pusher in
Washington the other day who
submitted a copy of a rather face
tious article that one of the ex
cursionists published after his re
turn. It may prove interesting
reading now, and is resubmitted
as follows:
“Alaska is a syndicated, refrig
erated territory of the United
States, bounded on the North by
the Polar scandal, on the East
by the Northwest Mounted Police
and on the South and West by the
Japanese seal poachers.
“The Territory is inhabited by
federal judges, Esquimaux, pelagic
sealers, faro dealers, mining en
gineers, Athabasca Indians, and
the United States Signal Corps.
“The government is administered
by the Secretary of the Interior,
the Revenue Cutter Service, and j
the Campfire Club of New York.!
“Alaska produces gold, coal, fur,
fish, icebergs, totem poles rein
deer, and Congressional investi
gations.
"The climate compares icily with
that of Blitzen and Etah.
