washington, Nov. 19.-The lack OF
suitable place in Washington for
holding the inaugural ball next 4th OF
March may result in the erection OF
the finest auditorium in America
which, it is suggested, shall be known
as the Hall of the Presidents Con-
gress will be asked to appropriate
one-half the cost of such structure.
A committee Of wealthy residents OF
the National Capital will undertake
to raise the other half and will make
personal appeal to other wealthy men
in all parts of the country for funds.
While such a structure would bring
IN more or less revenue 1t IS not be
1feved the money thus derived would
more than pay for the upkeep, so
those who invested in the enterprise
would have to do SO without hope OF
dividends or return of their capital.
1t is not proposed that the auditor.
ium shall exceed all others in size,
but It will be monumental in design
and built OF marble or other enduring
material. Although no plans have
been agreed upon seating capacity
OF abort $4,000 Is desired, so that
gatherings as large as national po-
iitical convention can be accomoda-
ted.
1t is the hope of the committee OF
Washington citizens that with such
a hall here it would become the es-
tablshed custom to hold all ma
tional political conventions in the
capital, but there is reason to doubt
whether this hope would be realized.
Geographical and political considers
tions would be against it. 1t would
be long ways for the Pacific coast
delegates to travel. though when they
had journeyed to Chicago the trip on
to Washington would not be a serr-
Gus consequence. There was consid-
cradle complaint. though, when the
republican convention of eight years
ago was held in Philadelphia.
The chief objection to holding con.
ventions in Washington, however.
would be the charge that the admin
istration and federal officeholders had
dominated those of the party in DOW
er. Even as it is, the cry that office
holders are being used to control the
convention of the dominant party Is
raised each fourth year. and were the
conventions held In Washington the
charge would have too large a color
ing of probability.

But, some will say, to pay one or two dollars here and raft the logs to the mills on the Sound or else- where would add enormously to theircost, besides the danger of los ing the logs enroute.
 No company anticipating the manufacture of wood pulp in this country would ever dream of such a thing. Waterpower is the best and most economical power known, and there is no country in the wsrld where streams of great gray- ity are so numerous or easy of access. Mill Creek, near this place, would furnish power enough for all the mills of the Pacific Coast, and if the water was used three or four times, (possible between the lake and salt water) and the power con- verted into electricity, sufficient power could be generated to turn the wheels of all the paper mills of the world. On Woronkofski and Zarembo Islands there are numer- ous streams, near good harbors, all of which would furnish abundant power for any factory. By fluming the waters of Graveyard Creek from some high point, the water could be given a fall sufficient 10 drive any pulp mill.
 Now, shall we sit with folded hands and let the town become a relic of history, or shall we concert our efforts and secure a paper mill that will create a permanent pay roll, increase the population, raise the value of property, and insure the future prosperity of the town It is up to the citizens. If we will expend a little effort and few dollars we may be able to interest some big paper manufactory suffi- ciently to induce the establishment of plant here, or near here.
 Shall we try?

 What do we mean by all this rigamarole? Why, simply this:
 Next year Seattle is to have a great real estate boom, under the stage name of Alaska Yukon-Paci- flo Exposition. Thousands will doubtless attend from all quarters of the globe. Now is the time to prepare prospectus setting forth the manifold blessings with which Mother Nature has endowed this section, and endeavor to place a copy in the hands of every person who comes to Seattle in that year. It is an opportunity that will prob ably never come again, and we can ill afford to miss it.
 Such prospectus will cost sev- eral hundreds of dollars, but we who calculate on remaining here would reap an abundant profit in a very few years.

WRANGELL'S OPPORTUNITY

By getting hustle to itself, our little town can be made one of the best towns in Alaska. We are at the very door, so to speak, of the great Cassiar country, which is des- tined to become a Mecca for many searchers after the precious yellow metal. We are in the midst of the finest bodies of timber in the world for some purposes. Our fisheries are as good as any. Sportsmen, too, find here realization of their fondest dreams.
 A few years ago there occurred a boom, and after the temporary ex- citement had suhsided, Wrangell found herself in a worse condition than before. A-number of the good citizens, attracted by reports of rich copper discoveries, went to Ketchikan, which has since grown to the proportions of a city, modern in every practicable detail.
 For several years the Ketchikan paper mentioned, each week, the unbounded prosperity of the town. Copper is the towns backbone.
 Not long ago, however, the price of copper fell in the markets of the world, and the mines began closing down, and the paper now says "it is rumored" that such-and-such a mine is to start up. Thus it will be seen that the one article decides as to Ketchikan's success or failure. With Wrangell it is different. That nasty old yellow stuff that is washed out of the gravel of the Dease, the Taltan, the Stikine, the Iskut, the Clearwater, and their estuaries does not fuctuate to suit the whims of the bulls add bears. Wrangell has never laid any really serious claim to greatness, but her time is yet to come, and "he who laughs last, laughs best" Each year sees additional numbers of miners and prospectors go inside" by the way of Wrangell and the Stikine. One of these fine days Bonanza will be found, and then the stampede that will follow will be by way of Wrangell and the Stikine. When the men of the stampede come "out," they must come by way of the Stikine and Wrangell. This will mean an in- cidental increase of business, popu- lation, property values, etc.
 In the great game of chequers it is "our move" We possess all of the advantages, natural and, other wise, the only thing lacking being an adequate supply of public spirit Public spirit does not consist mere- ly in SAYING that you like the town and would like to see it prosper, but, rather, in DOING THINGS, even to spend ten dollars and depending

USES OF WOOD PULP


 A short time ago an article in the Inland Printer stated that the advance in the price of paper gas due to marked decrease in the supply of spruce tinber, from which most of the paper is used. The factories manufacturing the spruce pulp have exhausted the bodies of timber immediately adjacent to the factories, and in order to supply the ever-growing demand it is ne- oessary for them to make drives of hundreds of miles on the rivers, or equally long hauls over the rail- roads, which readily explains the increased cost of raw material.
 Wood pulp is now used in the manufacture of many articles of common use besides paper. Among these articles is the water pail made of wood fiber, which is now a more familiar sight than the one made of actual wood. In addition 10 pails, wood pulp is used in our homes in the form of basins, dishes boxes and picture frames. The use of wood pulp for car wheels has long been known, but a new use reported from Germany is that of telegraph poles.
 Articles of wood pulp have con siderable bearing on electrical and other industries, as in the case of conduits and insulators in various forms.
 Americans now use wood pulp for steam and water pipes, shoe heels, horseshoes, spools, tool han dles, buttons, pulleys, paving blocks and coffins. Paper or wood pulp surgeon splints have many advan- tages over those of other materials, in their lightness, strength and fexibility. But perhaps the most unique use for paper pulp is for observatory domes. Here again it's lightness and fexibility commend it, and in addition it has none of the disadvantages which arise from the use of metallic substances near to sensitized instruments,
 All other articles made from the pulp of wood, however, do not re- auire as much raw material as the one article, paper. There are sev- eral of the large daily papers which use, each, two or three carloads of paper daily. This, of course is the largest use to which paper is put, but when one considers the many millions of books, magazines and paper bags, the tons of wrapping paper and wall paper, and other and untold uses of paper, the run ming out of the timber in the older states is not surprising.
 Now, where is new and plenti- ful supply of spruce timber to be found ?
 Alaska presents to the world an inexhaustible supply of the finest spruce timber in the world. On every island between Dixon's En- trance and Seward, the spruce trees stand, their limbs interlocked with one another, from the waters edge to the very summit. These mountains are so steep that it is but a small task to get them out For lumber only the biggest and soundest trees are chosen, but for making paper every tree can be used, regardless of size or sound ness. With the modern methods of logging this timber can be rafted for $1.50 to $2.5O per M.
