GODS ANOINTED

As was said by Senator J R. Hcclmau m his telegram of sarcastic congratulation to,lc Juneau Republican Club, one would well suppose that the little coteric of near Republicans who constitute that Gastincau Channel organization had been chosen by Mm who rules Che destiny of the world to dictate to the party throughout thc Terri .v. to select al the officers for the next administration.
 From Governor to commissioner the Ju- lcau club chose it's members to fll all the offices d. the Territory and division. If re- ports be true that there were only twenty present at the meeting, it was too bad for herc were hardly enough of them to fill all j., offices. and it would have been calamit- .us if they had been compelled to rccom- mord someone outside or their select few .or even berth as game warden or dog- ucnU or what-uot That would have umyd tine plans for the beautiful closed corporation that was being perfected. lt SEQ be hoped that this Juneau organization win at least permit Kctchikm, Cordova, seward. Fairbanks, Nome and othch towns .o choose their postmastcrs at least
 The political situation in Alaska is just what might have been expected The same lld selfish bunch of Juneau would-bc poli- iraus are trying to hog everything in sight and thcv will come pretty nearly doing it unless tbc Republicans in the other scc- ions of Alaska join hands to shut them out Juneau is going to try to grab every office n the Territory. as their organization has shown openly, and for self protection 1t bee comes necessary for Ketchikan, Cordova Nu.Hou-c. FambmkS Nome, Wrngell p.usburr Skagwav, HaiueS Valdez and every other community to get together to ucyu. the grand coup d'ctat United acsc towns cam make their Juneau breth rem give them mot only a square deal. but they also cam make them beg for mercy
 Almost every town in Alaska has put forth candidate for some office of consc. luucc. but 1t was left for the territorial capital organization to attempt the capture of al offices.
 The people of Alaska overwhelmingly said at the last election that they wanted D change of administration in the Terri .orv. Their verdict was mmistakablc and likewise will the voters show their condcm- nation of the next administration If amy star chamber proceedings are attempted
 Uucmupromisng autocrat that he was Smcslcford in his balmy days never att tempted such a dictatiou as that of the Ju- ucm Republican organization. He could not get away with it and he knew it. The Republicans throughout the Territory should at once teach the Juneau Republi- cans that they can't get away with 1t either -KetcMkou Chronicle.

day import over two-thirds of our print paper requirements.
 An Insatiate Demand.
 To supply the insatiate demand for print paper. largely inflated by the ad- vertising craze that swept the country following the war, the paper mills of the United States and Canada were called upon last year to supply 2,1s3,- 900 tons of news print, over 90 per cent of which was used by the daily newspapers in printing their average of 27,o00,o0O papers per day. with an average number of 23 pages each. In other words, enough newspapers are printed every day in the United States to supply each family with 23 printed sheets of newspaper size. and all of this paper comes from our rapidly di- minishing forests.
 In 1914 the annual per capita con- sumption of print paper in the United States was IA pounds. Today the an- nual per capita consumtion is esti- mated at 35 pounds. and the price to the publishers has advanced from or 3 cents pound to 13 cents and high CT. where it is bought in the open market. For time in Chicago one could buy 2 Sunday paper, with it's enormous number of pages. spend the day reading it. and then sell the paper

PAPER SHORTAGE DUE TO LACK OF FORESIGH

for more than it cost, because of it's value as old paper.
 Due to Several Causes.
 The increase in the cost of print pa- per is due to number of causes, some natural and to be expected, and others artificial, such as the excessive use of paper made necessary by the large volume of advertising. If we dis regarded this last cause entirely, we would find that the cost of paper pulp would increase and the supply prove inadequate by reason of natural causes.
 To begin with. papermaking is an ex- pensive and large undertaking. Pulp mills require a large initial outlay for machinery necessary to convert the raw wood fibers into paper, and they must be located where railroad or oth- CT transportation is good, because of the enormous quantities of chemicals and other materials used in the pulp ing process. For every ton of paper pulp produced four tons of materials must 60 into the factory.
 Aside from several scattered wood pulp mills in the Northwest, and one or two in the Southern zine belt. prac- tically all of the 250 mills operating in the United States are located in the North and East.

 ages in our industrial life, and right now we have reached, pos sibly, the culmination of the paper age. Europe has often, in pre-war days, looked upon the Knitted States as a spendthrift nation, using up it's rich patrimony in riotous living, and we are beslAfSng to believe that perhaps Flu rope was right, and we. are not only eating our cake gluttonously. but wasting large crumbs along the way.
 Long before paper was made from wood scientists had dreamed and planned to make paper from some in- exhaustible supply. such as the trees of the forest, and when that accom- plishment was an assured fact it was thought that future supplies of pulp paper, could never be exhausted. But we have found that our great forests of the East, North and South have dwin- died away, through use and abuse, until the end is in sight. And with the cutting away of those forests the paper supply of the nation is menaced, and from a country that few years ago supplied her own paper needs and had something left>o to export, we have arrived at the place where we must to-

When train pulls out of thu Terminal Herbert looks at the clock and calls to the leverman, Two o'clock to New York" The leverma l throws the switches and raises tn signal arms, and the train goes on it's way. When an engine comes down tha track to move some mail cars which have been unloaded and made ready for another trip, Herbert must know that two of these mail cars are to go to the Huntingdon yard, one is to be run over from Track , to In the Terminal, and the other two to be at tached to the main line express. Dur ing all this transferring the engineer of the shifting engine simply follows tho signals given him by Herbert
 It was in 1893 that Herbert first started on this job, and before they had the tower and the automatic switches he threw the hand switched which ran the trains in and out of tht Reading Terminal He knows all about the trains-who they are, wheri they come from and where they wan. to go. He knows every engine and ev efy car by it's first name. and when they come winding down the tracks he recognizes them and leads them by the hand through the network Of tracks to their places in the Terminal He has been on the job so long that he knows when everything is due, how everything ought to be done, and hs brings the suburbanites from theil work in the morning and puts them safely at their firesides when they have finished their days work.

A Novel Undertaking.

wealth is not all represented by the gold that has brought millions to the hardy prospectors. Alaska is land of many resources, as yet untouched by the industry of man. Coal, in un- counted millions of tons, lies close to the surface, and the numerous noun tain streams. precipitous in character, are capable of developing enough wa ter power to turn thousands of factory wheels. The dense forests that lie close to the shore, and on the numerous islands, contain over 100,000,000 cords of spruce that Is ready for the pulping machine.
 The large amount of power required by paper mills can be furnished, at no great expense, by harnessing the tur- bulent streams close to the spruce for ests, for surveys made by the Govern ment show that there is minimum of 100000 horsepower that can be readily developed for the use or paper mills. By locating these mills close to the shore, the finished product can be loaded directly upon the ships that will carry them to Pacific coast ports or through the canal to New York and Eastern ports. With cheap water pow CT and cheap timber, and direct water transportation for the finished product, 1t is estimated that paper made in Alaska can be laid down in Philadel- phia, New York or Boston at a price

to compete with New England paper mills at present prices.
 The government. to encourage th j establishment of paper mills in Alaska, is willing to enter into long-term con tracts for cutting spruce on stumpago rates that are merely nominal, when compared with prices paid for suitable pulp woods near existing mills. On several areas which have been ap- praised the spruce timber is priced at 50 cents a cord and the hemlock tim Der at 25 cents. which are but frac- tions of those paid elsewhere.
