REPORTS DlSCOURAGING

For years these reports were dis couraging Timber and water power is there they said, and the shipping facilities are all right, but there is no market Only ten years ago the United States manufactured sufficient paper for it's own use, and experts said that Alaska development must wait
 "As time went on, we sent other experts. We felt somewhat as did General Grant when president If a comptroller of the treasury ren- dered a decision that did not suit him he said: Let's have a new cOmptrol ler,' and so we felt about similar to the first. Then along came the war upsetting everything, giving new deal which gives us our opportunity in Alaska
The Cordova daily times., 1920-09-21
CONSUMPTION IS GREAT

In the United States today, the average consumption of paper prod ucts is thirty-five pounds per person and the amount is increasing stead fly. It is the history of nations that as the country becomes more thickly settled the consumption of wood de- creases and the consumption of paper increases. We are now forced to i'm port from Canada one-third of all pap CT used in the United States and two thirds of all the newsprint paper con- sumed in America is manufactured in Canada.
 Price levels of paper and pulp are high, and I think the prices are rela- lively permanent, with little chance of a decrease Whatever the possibili- ties were ten years ago, opportunity is here today to extend the pulp and paper industry to Southeastern Alas ka. My purpose here is to gain an understanding that I may aid in bringing the paper industry here"
The Cordova daily times., 1920-09-21
PAPER INDUSTRY WILL BE ONE BIG FACTOR IN EMPLOYMENT OF
 OF ALASKA, COL. CREELY SAYS

Col. w. B. Greeley, chief forester of the United States, in an address be- fore the Ketchikan Commercial club recently said that pulp mills must come because of the nations needs and that there is an opportunity to ex- tend the paper industry to Alaska
 "It is our desire to do our utmost to develop the resources of Alaska y he continued "in cooperation with you of Alaska. And it is a problem of cooperation, a case of pull to- gether.
 When I became chief forester, a few months ago, I felt that one of the first responsibilities was to get acquainted with Alaska, to be in a position to guide the development as far as our department is concerned.
 ''In 1911, I entered the timber de- partment of the forestry service We appreciated that early the importance of developing industry in Alaska, and one of the first things I did was to send experts north to test the paper and pulp possibilities, to compare the timber resources with those of the east and south and west, so that we might show engineers what they might do commercially. Also we made some study of the water power, for they must go together.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-09-21
TIMBER IS EXCELLENT

Colonel Greeley then went on to tell of his experiences of the past month, visiting all parts of the pan handle. Although he had touched at only few of the high spots he found large areas of timber of much better quality then he had supposed were growing. He estimated roughly that there are one hundred million cords of timber in Southeastern Alaska which would produce two million tons of newsprint annually, all that is used in the United States, or it would make one- third of all the paper products used in the country Such production would make the United States inde- pendent of Canada or other foreign countries.
 It is the aim of the government to bring this about, to make Alaska an- other Norway in paper production, and thereby have the nation selfsupporting
The Cordova daily times., 1920-09-21
OTHER INDUSTRIES


 Col Greeley also sees, in connection with the pulp industry the advance of the logging and lumber industry in the better grades of spruce and cedar. At present there are large shipments going forward from some parts of Southeastern Alaska. A diff iculty not encountered is that it is too expensive to get out the better grade of logs from so many of inferior qual- ity. With the paper industry going this will be an easy matter, the speak CT said.
 to build railroads back from the coast, as the logging cannot be carried on with donkey engines from the coast piercnig only to depth of 200 or 300 yards.
 In conclusion, Col Greeley said that he expected to see four or five, or possibly ten or twelve paper and pulp mills in operation in Southeastern Al aska, and he urged the commercial clubs of the North to do all they could in securing facts and figures for pros pective investors, giving them only the truth that they might not later fail because of erroneous information.
 Answering questions of one of the members of the club, Col. Greeley said that he intended to recommend that the millsite laws and regulations be extended to the forestry areas as it applies now to the land under the jurisdiction of the general land of | flee.
 That interest in the Alaska pulp mil project is nation wide and that plans for it's establishment are taking ma terial form is reflected in a story re centy published in the Seattle Daily Times, sent from it's Washington bu reau:
 The dream of Alaska becoming g great pulp manufac curing center ap parently is about to be realized. Word was received at the department of az riculture that the local agent of the forest service at Portland has entered into a contract with the California Paper & Water Power Co.,, for the sale of one billion feet of pulp wooG timber situated at Port Snettisham Alaska, about 50 miles southeast o1 l Tunoau
The Cordova daily times., 1920-09-21
PLANS UNKNOWN

Nothing is known here concerning the plans of the company but it was intimated by representatives of that concern when negotiating the deal with forest service officials that the company would invest $2,OOO,OOO in the venture and that the company had available water power.
 It has been known for some time that the management of the Alaska Gold company, operating at Juneau has contemplated going into the paper pulp industry and using the surplus of the 100000 horsepower which was harnessed for the operation of the Alaska Gastineau crushing plant. The company planned the installation of three units but because of the advanc- ing cost of mining operations without corresponding increase in the price of gold, only one of the units was in- stalled This left the company about 60,000 horsepower running to waste. NOhN Go. is connected with the deal for northern timber the surplus power can be transmitted by wire to pulp crush ing plant at Port Snettisham. If the plans contemplate the conversion of the rock crushing machinery plant in to a crushing plant for pulp wood the timber can be lowed to Juneau.
 On the other hand there is an abun- dance of power at Port Snettisham and on the Spiel river and many other places contiguous to it might easily be developed under the recently enacted water power leasing law.
 TIMBER IS PURCHASED
 The contract entered into by the forest service is not lease but an outright purchase for 1O0,O00,00O feet which is the equivalent to 100000
