TAI WHEY PLANS TO
BEAT PAPER TRUST
BY Forestry Law and Lifting
Alaskan Embargo He Would
Get Cheap Pulpwood.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Representa-
tive Tawney believes the bill for the
transfer Of jurisdiction over forest
reserves from the interior to the agricul-
tural department will be passed by the
senate during the current session. He
also expects the senate to accept the
amendment which the house adopted
when the bill was under discussion
there, providing for the expectation Of
pulp wood and Of manufactured wood
pulp from the territory Of Alaska. He
has made partial canvass of the SEN
ate committee on public lands, and is
practically assured of a favorable re-
port on both the bill and the amend
ment when they come before the COM
mittee in January.
The wood pulp and pulp wood export
provision was proposed by Mr.. Tawney
| to meet the urgent demand for a cheap
ening of the paper supply Of the coun-
try. This subject is SO important to
try that they have, as body, raised
a fund to prosecute campaign for
changes in the tariff laws which would
bring wood pulp, pulp wood and manu-
featured paper into this country from
Canada free Of duty. Such change
in the tariff laws might not accomplish
the purpose sought, as it is generally
believed that the so-called paper trust
and the wood pulp trust, working to-
gether, have almost absolute control
over the raw material and the manufac-
tured product in Canada, so that the
removal Of the duty on these articles
would only result in larger profits for
these trusts, with no resultant benefit
to the consumers Of paper. j. $50
Tawney's Relief Plan. '%'&
Mr.. Tawney does not vouch for the
statement as to the control of the paper
trade by these trusts, but for two years
he has had in mind legislation such ais
he had inserted in the transfer bill, with
view to enlarging the available domes-
tic supply of the raw material. In that
way the trusts could be, dealt with more
effectively than by the removal of the
duty on the Canadian product. e.
Discussing the supply Of the raw ma
terial in Alaska and the opportunities
for it's manufacture into pulp in the ter
ritory, Mr.. Tawney said: -
White spruce Is conceded to be the
best raw material for the manufacture
of white paper, particularly that on which
newspapers are printed. When was in
Alaska two summers ago I saw vast
forests of this wood in the southeastern
part Of the territory, particularly in, the
Alexander archipelago. On Prince of
Wales island alone there is a supply of
this wood sufficient to run a, pulp mill
for many years to come. It is all dead
ripe, and the application of modern for
estry methods will preserve the supply in
definitely. Large quantities of the wood
are lying the ground with full-grown
trees standing above Them The down
timber, as we'll as the standing trees, can
be used in the manufacture OF the pulp

ARRESTED FOR NAP ON
THE RAILROAD TRACK
New York Sun Special Service.

Pottsville, Pa, Jan. 2.-John Siluski,
a a laborer, fell asleep today on the Union
Traction company's track, was struck
by a car and, escaping with his own
life, was arrested for placing in jeop-
ardy the lives of passengers. It is
alleged that Siluski was intoxicated.
A car pushed his body off the track,
but dragged him by the coat for a
considerable distance to "Dead Man s
curve,' where obstruction as big as
man 8 body might throw car off
the track and down a steep embank-
ment. Siluski was released after he
had taken the pledge.

Alaskap Pulpwood Supply.

In that favorable climate the trees will
grow and mature more rapidly than in
the states, and it appears to me that
southeastern Alaska is the place from
which we will get our supply Of pulp
wood in the future. + H.
The trees can be converted into pulp
with small cost in the territory, also. A
plentiful supply of fresh water is .neces-
sary In the Manufacture Of the pulp, and
that can be had at any number of places

so that there would be no waste, such
as there is in getting out pine and other
woods used in building. With the fallen
trees out of the way, and the matured
trees cut, the young growth would have
a chance to mature. With these to start
with, and the replanting Of the cut
over area, the supply could be kept up
indefinitely.

from the author, DIR. E. f. Ed

more particularly on miners and
their profession. Almost all the
scenes depicted are of western
Colorado and many of the Incl
dents related are personal expert
ences of the author. DR.. Eldridge
is not only facile but very in

TEST OF CITY GOVERNMENT

Every American citizen has cause for anxiety CON-
cerning the outcome of next Tuesdays elections in New
York and San Francisco The dangers that threaten
these cities exist, active latent, in all the rest
Every city has its element similar that which is led
in New York by Hearst and in San Francisco by Ruef
and Schmtz. 1t is the disreputable element always
menace to the public welfare, and dangerous just in
proportion to its numerical strength at the polls.
There is no doubt that this element will make
formidable showing in New York at the coming election
The of the great city's population is thick and
Hearst will skim the larger part of it, There also is
large element of the ignorant in New York
natural result of the great stream of European rfra
that constantly pours into that city Ignorant voters
always at the mercy of such a demagogue as Hearst
They fail to comprehend the utterly absurd character
of the promises that he is lavshng by press and mouth
He tells this vast class that his election the mayor
atty would be followed by higher wages shorter work
days cheaper rents lower fares, diminished living
expenses generally and millennium of good times
If Hearstism can make even considerable showing
in the coming election the fact will Indicate deplor-
able downward trend in the level Of American municipal
tiles 1t is hardly possible that the covert support
Of Hearst by the Republican machine openly charged
by Democratic leaders, can lead to Hearst's election A
very large minority vote for him, however, would en-.
courage him to future effort and make him still more
dangerous menace. And the factor that may be
called Hearstsm In New York can be found to greater
or less extent in every other American city.
In San Francisco the issue in regard to Schmitz
is simpler than it is in New York in regard to Hearst
It is only twosded in San Francisco but triangular in
New York The decent element in San Francisco is
confronted squarey by the dlsreputable element and
the outcome depends upon the numerical strength of
the two classes. In New York there is a Democratic
ticket, Republican ticket and municipal ticket led
by Hearst representing chiefly the ofscourings the
city's population
And now the American people awaiting the issue
in great pit ado in
large vote the future for municipal that
city will be ominous. If Schmitz in grating
himself for another term upon the government of
Francisco that unfortunate city might well write
its portals the inscription that Dante at the en-
trance TO hades.
