advantages over the manufacture In
other regions.
The most important diffcrcntial in
favor Of Montana mills would be tho
much cheaper cost OF the raw mate
rial. Pulpwood could be delivered tn
mills in Montana for at least one .half
the cost at which 1t Is now delivered
to eastern paper mills.
Power in Montana, contrary to the
general opinion, could probably not bo
secured much IL any cheaper than ut
the eastern mills. In most cases. the
developing OF the present undevelopsd
power in the state would require the
expenditure" of n great deal OF money
and the interest on this money and
the operating expenses would nacessi-
tate n very substantial power charge
Fuel, If coal were used. would Ii
anything be little higher In Montana
than in the east. The average cost
of eastern coal at the mines il con-
siderably less than the cost of coal
produced in the west, and in general
the freight hauls in the east are less.
IL waste wood were used the fuel cost
could be greatly reduced, as the cost
of this material would be merely the
cost of handling It.
The mill supplies including lime or
limestone, sulphur, soda ash and
bleaching would probably not be any
cheaper at Montana mills than at
eastern mills.
Labor In the west is generally con-
coded to be a little higher than in the
east.
In the matter of markets. Monta M
mills would have in the case Of Mon
tana and adjacent states a big differ
entail In their favor over eastern and
Pacific coast mills because of the
shorter freight haul to these ma rkets.

Santa Marta, Colombia.-All hail to
the banana. king of fruits and best Of
foods! Down in this port OF South
America men, woman and children live
largely on bananas. They are the basis
of the food supply, like rice in India.
Often the people live almost exclusively
on them, especially in the country dis
tricts. The banana. Theoretically sealed
in its golden case, comes as near being
a universal food az any food on earth
But the fame OF the banana has spread
abroad. There has reached Colombia a
pamphlet. entitled Substitutes for
Meat" putstshctf by Mayor NsstcMyfx
committee on food supply in New
York. The committee gives the banana
Il prominent place. The report states
that: Bananas contain most OF the
nourishment that meat does. and II
eaten with bread and butter make an
excellent lunch without the addition Of
meat. Most Children prefer banana
sand~iches q meat sandwiches. and
they cost ess"
So much for the banana as a food.
We all eat them. Government ann other
official reports In France, England and

Book paper is generally made OF sui :

Wrapping papers are made of both

strong grade of wrapping paper is now
made from sulphatc pulp for which
the resinous southern pines and the
Douglas fir of the Pacific northwest
are well suited.

During a period OF nine years. the
annual consumption Of wood by the
pulp and paper industry in the United
States has increased over 100 per cent
At the present time this consumption
is about 4 100000 cubic yards valued
roughly at t35.0oo.0oo. New York and
Maine lead the states in pulpwood
consumption, consuming nearly one
half OF all the wood used annually by
the industry in the United States.
About 30 per cent OF the total con-
sumption is In states east OF the Mis-
sissippi river.
About 100000 cords. or % per cent
OF the total consumption was, before
the war, imported from Canada, Ger
many, Sweden and Norway.
OF the total consumption. approx
mately so per cent is spruce. Is per
cent hemiock. per cent poplar, and
the balance balsam fir. pine, beech
cottonwood, white fir and miscella-
neous.
About 80 per cent of the annual con-
sumption of pulpwood was, before the
war reduced to pulp by the mechani-
cal process. The remaining 70 per cent
was reduced by the various chemical
processes--including the sulphite, soda
and sulphate processes.
In 1914 S2S mills were engaged in the
manufacture OF paper. The estimated
annual. production of paper and fiber
products as figured from the known
average yield Of pulp per cord Of wood
is probably somewhere between 2.OoO,-
900 and 100000 tons.
Manufacture ef Pulp.
The raw material in the cordwood
form is reduced to pulp by both the
mechanical and chemical means.
In the mechanical process the wood
is barked. cut into two foot lengths,
and reduced to pulp by pressing it
against a rapidly rotating stone or
grinder. The average yield of pulp per
cord of wood is roughly about 1000
pounds.
In the chemical pFocesses-incl,,dine

Recent Activity.
The district forester at Missoula has
during the past year received several
Inquiries concerning the pulp timber
available in Montana. Some OF these
inquiries are from parties who are
now very carefully going into the pos
sibilitits OF the establishment OF pulp
and paper mills in certain parts Of the
state. inquiry into the possibilities of
pulp and paper manufacture in Mon
by the present abnormally high prices
OF paper and by the current reports of
great paper shortage supposed to
have been caused by the increased
use OF paper and the cutting off OF the
| supply OF imported pulpwood
Montana Woods Suitable.
Several species grow in Montana
which are suited for the manufacture
of pulp and paper. Among these are
Eneelmann spruce, white or grand fir,
Alpine fir, western hemlock. lodgepole
pine, western yellow pine, Douglas fir
and western larch. Douglas fir and
white fir have already been success
fully used in pulp making, the former
!, having been used on the Pacific coast
for snlphate kraft papers and soda
half- bleached papers. and the latter
having been used in the same region
In both the sulphite and mechanical
processes. Tests made in the forest
| products laboratory at Madison, Wis,
show that the other woods mentioned
can also be used for pulp making in
certain processes Of the several al
ready mentioned.
Pulp Chances Available.
| There are two large pulp chances in
Montana both in the northwestern part
| of the state. namely the Yaak chance
and the Flathead chance. The Yaak
chance is located adjacent to the Yak
river on the Kootenai National forest
/ in the extreme northwestern corner of
the state. The Flathead chance is To-
Gated near Flathead lake adjacent to
the Flathead and Biackfcet National
! forests.
