degree of accuracy.
Senator e. ID. Smith, of Lynchburg,
incumbent, who went into the race

nthc estimation of the voters, and
George Warren, of Hampton, Solici-

an unknown factor at the commence

Senator, is not showing up as his
friend sprcdctcd, although he is ex-
pcctcd to receive crcditablc vote for
past political services. William G..
lrby, of Laurens, who was in the race
for Governor in 1914, will get re-
spectacle mill vote.
Labor is not at all satisfied with
the attitude Of Senator Smith, nor
with his votes in the Senate, and this
element is throwing the majority of
its strength to Mr. Warren, whose
platform is satisfactory 70 labor. Mr..
lrby who has been labor advocate

 PULP IN ALASKA
District Forester at Port land is Receiving lnquT- ies About This Resource
 In Alaska

PORTLAND, Ore. Jan. 22.-The District Forester at Portland, Ore gon, who has jurisdiction over the National Forests of Oregon, Wash ingtop, and Alaska, reports that the inauiries being received by his office concerning the possibilities of paper pulp manufacture in Southeastern Alaska presage the extension of thls important industry to this new field in the near future.
 The constantly rising pulpwood cost to mills in the United States as the source of raw material gets more remote from the present pulT manufacturing centers, are respons ible in part for the increasing price of paper, which has reached such a high point that it has been the subject of number of congressional investigations. An abundant supply of cheap paper is of great importance to the United States, and if this is to be assured in the face of the in creasing demand it will be neces sary for the industry to develop 1T new regions having vast supply ol cheap pulping woods in connection with cheap water power.
 The District Forester recently stated: '"The immense timber ant power resources of Southeastern Alaska are well adapted to the needs of the paper industry. and the Forest Cnrty;nn ic nnyinffa thnr1 brought into use for this purpose. Il is furnishing inqu.rers with all avail able information concerning the pos abilities there in an effort to en courage their interest in this new field whose development will be ol great benefit to the nation as a whole as well as to Alaska"
