Fish Egg is the name of a new town recently started on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, about six miles south of Klawock. There has been, how ever, a few houses and mild cure establishments there for some time, but by reason of the devel- opment of the fishing industry in king salmon and hahbut during the past year, on this coast. Par ties with capital became interested and a company was formed for the erection of a sawmill.

and all that is expressed in the

in some Instances as high as SIS or
$S5 has been paid. Just now, because
Maine is pretty well stocked, the de-
mand for labor and the price show a
declining tendency. But in the United
States as whole the supply of wood
is short of the demand, and there
seems to be no prospect of lower
prices either of labor or product.
One operator in Maine, a Massa-
chusetts man, who got into the lum-
Der business through his love Of ma
ture, cut last year on Molunceus and
the east branch of the PenObscot
10000 cords, or 100000 feet, of pulp
wood and 100000 feet of long logs,
and will cut this year 10000 cords, or
100000 feet of pulp wood, employ
ing 600 men at $62 a month and
board or for piece work, $3.50 to $3.75
cord.
The common impression is that all
wood pulp Is made into paper and
that the increased demand for news
print alone is responsible for the &c
mutation of our forest lands. 1t is
true that most of the pulp goes to
satisfy the appetite Of the printing
presses, but there have been devel-
oped in recent years many and vari-
Gus other uses for the fiber of the
spruce and poplar. Innumerable
articles are now made of wood pulp
doors, dishes, buttons, boards, boxes,

car wheels, and milady who parades
the avenue, proud of her gown of
tricoiette, may be surprised to learn
that in that silken fabric is woven
the fiber of the spruce-that she owes
something Of the luster and durable
texture Of her finery to the fragrant
forests of Maine.

reckless rate, even with big supply
In sight. But there is greater drain
upon our wood resources. Fire takes
more than the mills. The eastern
slope of the Rockies is Is per cent
burnt land, and the timber map is
splotched with great black patches all
the way from Puget sound to the
Penobscot. In some parts of Maine
the burnt area greatly exceeds the
green. In the South the pine and the
cypress are being cut away at an
alarming rate, and in the Pacific states
the Douglas fir and other growths are
being turned into money as rapidly
as possible.
To make up for all the cutting, lit
tie is being done. Scientific forestry
is making some progress, but as yet
efforts in that direction are as nothing
compared with tree slaughter. Re
forestation is being carried on in some
states, as on small scale, in Maine,
but. tree doesn't grow in a day. A
big spruce may be felled in five min
utes, but it's reproduction will re-
quire 40 years. 49,.
1t is not altogether a question of
wood supply, either. AS the forests go
the floods will come, waterpowers
will fail and all industry will suf-
fer. Therefore, there must be lot
of tree planting in this country, else
pretty much everything will go by the
board.
Advance in Pulp Wood Values.
The advance in pulp wood values
within. 80 months has been remark
able, even for the times. Before the
entrance of this country into the war,
peeled wood delivered in the mill yard
in Maine was worth 50 cord.
Now the price is $1S in Maine and in
New York state 500 cord. This ad-
vance is due in part to higher wages
and in part to little prOfiteerins or a
turn of thrift by the land owners.
Wages before the war, that is, up to
the spring of 1917, were $50 to $35 a
month and board. In 1918 and 1919 the
rate jumped to $50 to $65 a month, and

times lumber vas carried from Ban
gor to Boston as cheaply as $1.25 to
$3.50 per thousand, to Long Island
sound ports at SITE to 81, and to New
York at 50 to $225.
Now everything is changed. OF
Names normal log cut of 100000
900 feet, at least 60 per cent goes in
to pulp and paper. The native log
ger. who swung sharp ak skillfully
at S1S to 500 month and was con-

sailed fish, has been succeeded by a
polyglOt mob that uses saws Ian

mands hotel fare, frequent payments,
polite treatment and every few weeks

part, are cut into four-foot lengths,

ago bought up hundreds of thousands
Logging used to begin in November
and end in March. Now it goes on at
all seasons.
Saw Mills Small Factor.
The saw mill Is small factor in
the great game of turning Maine for
ests into money. The long log
ger, that is, he who cuts for sawmills,
is almost extinct. The big sawmill
drives are seen no more. This is the
day of the "four-foot STUFF which
makes up most of the drives and gives
business to the railroads. The pulp
mills eat up so many millions of feet
of spruce that speculative and statis-
teal persons wonder where it all
comes from and how long the supply
will last. So far as Maine is con-
cerned there need be no fear of wood
famine very soon, but at the pres
ent rate of cutting there is bound to
be scarcity in the United States with
in few years that will send prices
kiting.

skill and their fame as "white water
men," and of course all hands were
fed, although the menu was character
tied by mOnOtOnous simplicity and

ornamented the banks Of the Penob-

Profit to Manufacturer.
The understanding spruce that was
sliced off by the saws was worth
$14 to $21 per thousand feet, accord
ing W AAAS
would seem to allow of slight profit
to the manufacturer but there are
various ways of measuring logs and
lumber-woods scale, boom scale and
mill scale-and during the golden era
of Bangor's spruce trade the jugglery
of figures was such that 1000 feet Of
logs, boom scale would "saw out"
anywhere from 1,150 to 1, 400 feet of
lumber, 1000 feet being a fair aver
age. So, even in the gloomiest days,
when heavy spruce dimensions were
selling at $21 to $23 and the Bangor
mill men would sit in their offices
chewing tobacco and cussing the hard
times, they were in fact making a
pretty good thing-especially if they
happened to own the land the logs
were cut from.
Then, last of all, the coasters who
carried the lumber to Boston; the
Sound and New York got $1.75, 1925

In suits, as in frockS and hats, there
is considerable variety in styles to
choose from this season. But these
differences are not very apparent I'M
til one has given suits more than
casual study; they lie in small de-
tails of design. At the beginning Of
the season suits presented coats both
short and long, but the longer coats
have persisted and are accepted.
Skirts are wider and have gradually
grown a little shorter than in the
early models. A happy medium is al
ways safer choice in street clothes,
bat the item of becomingness is more
important than any other and there IS
a suit for every figure this season.
Women should find themselves more
becomingly clothed than in seasons
where styles are less varied; at pres
ent there IS every chance to suit in7
dividual taste.
