IS INVESTIGATING CONDITIONS HERE
 FOR A PULP MILL

D. den Eleyker, representing Ia coma people, has been in Juneau and vicinity for the past week investi- gating conditions with view of es- tablishing pulp and paper mill. He states that there is no ques- tion regarding the timber supply for pulp or the water power supply, but that he will be compelled to make a discouraging report because of the legislative restrictions which hedge about the investment of capital.
 While the supply is here,' said MT. den Bleyker, it will require considerable capital to even devel- op water power to the point where t can be utilized, and the same holds true of building mill and equipping it, as well as getting out the timber supply. Capital will not take chances where the opportunity s offered for some official to come in every five years and change the jules of the game. What is needed s fixed price on timber running or a number of year, in order that capital may figure sure returns on the amount invested.
 'I consider it criminal waste Q allow water power to go on with put being utilized and to allow the 'orests to rot. The timber now is actually going back in values. In
 he city of Kalamazoo, Mich, are IA paper mills which get all of their pulp from abroad The mills in rom abroad. This pulp could be supplied from Alaska, and also here Ire the sulphur in the iron py- 'ites and lime needed for the pulp mill business"
