'BATTLESHIP
BUILDING RACE
The North Dakota Gets a
Months Start on the
Delaware

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The mem
orabe race in battleship construction
between the Government constructors
on the Connecticut at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard and the builders of the
Louisiana at the yards of the New
port News Shipbuildlng and Drydock
Company, which attracted such wide
spread attention two years ago, prom
ises to be ecipsed by the race already
under way between the builders of
the two immense new battleships of the
Dreadnought type.
Advices received at the Navy Depart
ment show that competition is already
keen, with the North Dakota, which is
being built by the Fore River Ship
building Company at Quincy, Mass,
well in the lead. The keel of this
vessel was laid December 16, and on
January / she had reached a stage of
1870 per cent. toward completion. The
keel of the Delaware, being built by
the Newport News Company, has not
yet been laid, owing to difficulty in
obtaining material, but efforts are
being made to begin actual construc-
tion of the vessel as soon as possible.
She was 7.05 per cent toward compile
tion January /. Reports on both ves-
sells up to that date show that the
Delaware then was not as far advanc-
ed as the North Dakota was on De-
cember 1, when the percentage was
1884 The Delaware gained during the
month of December only from SOS
to 705, whereas the North Dakota
gained from 7.S4 to 1910 per cent.
Proposals for the construction of these
vessels were opened by Secretary Met
calf June 20 last, and he decided upon
the awards June 20. Owing to tech
nical and legal details, however, the
contracts were not actually signed until
August 6, and construction was au-
thorized to begin from that date The
Delaware is contracted for delivery in
36 months from date and the North
Dakota in "a 1-2 months, which means
the delivery of the former to the Gov
ernment not later than August 6, 1910,
and the latter by June 21, 1910.
Notwithstanding that the North
Dakota is now fully a month ahead
and that she is contracted for deliv-
cry a month and half ahead of the
Delaware, the builders of the Della
ware express the hope that they will
be able to overtalSe her sister ship and
be ready for delivery as soon as the
North Dakota Their material is al
last well in hand, and once the keel
is down they promise rapid work.
Secretary Metcalf is showing keer
interest in the competition. He has
been urging that both ships shall be
delivered to the Government at the
earliest possible moment.

FACTS ABOUT
WOOD PULP

Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin.
An area half as large as the State OF
Rhode Island is stripped Of its spruce
every year to make wood pulp. Wood mas
been stripped from the hills eagerly and
trees have not been planted to take its
place. Every material interest Is threat
ened by the present wasteful methods.
These statements seem extravagant on
first reading, but their authenticity re-
ceives good support in the report OF the
United States Forest Service, tsat the
publishers of the country are using more
than three and one-half millions cords OF
pulp wood each year. Further support to
the statements is given by the estimates
which show that a big New York daily
one OF those with various morning ana
evening editions which are said to have
an aggregate daily circulation of nearly
million copies, used 77,s3S,S75 pounds OF
white newspaper last year. This is an
average of i.s7S pounds a day.
The large Sunday edition is estimated
TO require 80 per cent. of the paper used
each week. while the weekday editions
take up the remaining 70 per cent. Figur-
ing the composition Of this paper at 80
per cent. of ground wood and 20 per cent
of sulphite fiber, the average Sunday
edition Of this paper requires the cut from
29.7 acres Of land. and a single weekday
edition requires approximately n.b acres.
These figures allow a stand OF nine
cords Of wood to the acre, which is con-
sidered the average for q large area, al
though certain small stands can be found
where the yield is much heavier. The
amount Of wood pulp used by this ono
New York paper seems to afford good
lexcuse for the white paper scare, which
lis making publishers cut down the size
of their papers, or take the other alter
native and raise the price. Experts say,
however, that the final solution Of the
wood pulp question win have to come
from the adoption Of a system OF forest
management by mill owners together
with the adoption Of less washeful meth
ods in working up their products and the
study of the utilization of woods other
than spruce fer the manufacture Of pup.
