Forestry Bureau, and the government s now looking upon the project with great deal of favor. It will be necessary to have certain rules and regulations passed before we can do
 anything The present situation of the money market and the cost Of material and supplies of all kinds and the uncertainty of delivery makes 1t very inadvisable to go into pro feet of that kind until this war has ended and conditions have returned at least approximately close to nor nal.
 Think what an industry Of this kind would mean to this section, and in fact all of Southeastern Alaska. We have the cheap water power, which is a necessity. This power ,eing located here would govern the location of the plant. Thousands If men would be employed in the mills. not to count the thousands scattered all over Southeastern Al ,ska doing logging work. Towing would be large item, but it is much cheaper to tow logs to the hills than it would be to pay higher prices for power The cheap cost ,f the power would offset any cost ,f towing from even as far away as Ketchikan.
 "Fishermen who spend the sum- ner around the canneries and in he winter remain idle, Indians and everybody could, in the winter time, find ready employment at good wa ges in logging. Many of them would log for themselves, while others would work for other concerns in that branch of the business. A plant such as ours would require millions of feet of timber, and big indus " would be built up merely sup plying this material.
 According to forestry service es inmates there are 90,00O, 100000 feet If timber in Southeastern Alaska which is suitable for wood pulp on ly. This would all be utilized. Tim yer which reaches it's maturity would ,e utilized instead of being allowed 70 fall and rot away as at present, while the annual reproduction would nore than offset what would be
 lsed by our plant, by hundreds of
 millions of feet
 Big production would be the key
 aote on which we would work. At present the Canadian factories are being taxed to death with the ex-
 cess profit and other war taxes i'm,
 posed by the Canadian government.
 We would not have those taxes to
 meet. Our shipments can be made
 down the coast and east as cheaply
 IS they can from the Canadian fac
 .ories. Towing conditions here are
 ideal and we can compete in the
 open market with paper and pulp
 rom any section of the world. "The eastern section of the coun
 try at the present time imports mil
 lions of tons of paper from Norway Why should they? We can meet
 he Norwegians in price with a whol y American product and will have
 10 trouble finding the market. That
 will come to use, if we can guarantee
 upply, which we will be able to do We are as close to the Orient as
 he Canadian factories and are as
 ldyantageously placed in every way
 IS are they.
 "If one stops tothink what a plant
 If this kind will mean to South
 eastern Alaska. they will be astound
 ,d. You can say for me that it is
 merely matter of time until such
 plant will be in actual operation

Juneau's first lad, and perhaps for that matter, Alaska's first sol dier boy, is now on his way tc Somewhere in France
 Leroy Vestal, son of Mrs. R. G Day, is the lad and the news of his departure came only in a service cablegram your telegram can not be delivered on account of party now being on his way somewhere in France"
 Several days ago Mrs. Day receiv. cd postcard from Leroy stating that he was then at Fort Bliss in the artillery, but expected to leave within a few weeks for (name de. leted) to embark for France, "then we are going to Berlin"
 The postcard was the first an noucement Mrs. Day had of heI sons enlistment. It seems that af. ter leaving Juneau several months ago Young vestal went to Seattle arriving there in the forenoon and in the afternoon he was wearing the artillery uniform, having en. listed, and being accepted and was at Fort Lawton. Six days later Young Vestal entrained to Fort Bliss with others and then began active training for military duty and now off "to somewhere in France"
 Leroy Vestal is we'll known in Ju- neau where he has lived for num- Der of years. Active, alert and al ways ambitious to do something, he has now joined the forces of Uncle Sam, fighting for the liberties oi true Democracy against the militarism of Prussianism.

Jail Officer Is
 in Trouble
Indicted by F ederal Au- thOrities- is Alleged He Conspired With 'Trusty" to Forge Pos tai Money Order For S1O.

Dennis E. O'Neil, bookkeeper in the Fairfield County Jail, in this city, is under indictment today, and awaiting trial scheduled for Friday, Dec. 21, before the United F States Dis trict Court. in Hartford, on a charge alleging conspiracy in connection with a money order forgery case.
 William Banti, of tStratford, former 1y a prisoner in the jail. Is accused as principal in the matter and is under bond for appearance in the federal court He is alleged to have 1orged the names of John Barylski. another prisoner, and Jacob Vein stein to/a s10 mo1ey order which the former received in September. 1916. from a friend in Greenwich.
 The authorities claim that Banti, forging signatures, acted under the instructions of O'Neil. who had access to mail going into the jail.
 Both men deny their guilt, O'Neil claiming that when Barylskf received the money order he complained of being unable to Agn his name, and therefore BanA had to be permitted to sign for him and make the order payable to Weinstein, a visitor at the jail, who paid the facs value of the paper. Banti was "trusty' and was serving time for misconduct.
 O'Neil has been boozEkseper at the county jail for many years, and if widely known throughout the city. He has always borne 8 blameless reputa- ton and his friends believe that he will be able to vindicate himself in his present difficulty. Sheriff Pease said, T will back OFNeAl to the limit when his honesty is questioned"
