and none into pulp wood.
 Plans Fall Through
 While various applications for pulp mill enterprises have been received by the forest service in the past ten years, the projects were all abandoned l because of financial difficulties on the part of the applicant, and not through | any lack of cooperation on the part of l the service, say forestry officials.
 "The policy of the forest service in Alaska has been and still is to offer sufficient quantities of pulp wood un der an initial contract to supply new enterprise for not less than twenty years" say forest service men, "and to insure a further supply for such plant by reserving additional large quantities of pulp wood, properly To- cated for the plant in question, from all other use or disposition until the initial contract should be cut out. The pulp wood offered has been priced at low rates, conforming to the general scale of stumpage prices in Alaska, representing the low timber values ob- taining in an inaccessible and unde veloped region. A reconsideration of stumpage rates is made at intervals of five years, beginning when actual cutting operations commence. 1n- creases are only made if 8 reappraisal shows that the. actual value of the stumpage being cut has advanced over the initial rates.
 Funds Main Obstacle
 Delay in the development of the paper pulp industry in Alaska has been occasioned, say forest service men, by the enormous transportation problem, both as to distance and lack of transport facilities, the general iso- lation and lack of development in Alaska, particularly the utter absence of local labor of the qualifications nec- essary for pulp and paper factories, the large investment required for the installation of pulp and paper plants, together with the water power develop ment necessary for their operation, and unsatisfactory federal legislation with reference to the development of hydro-e1ectric power on national for ests, by which it has been impossible to give any company firm permit for stated period of years, but only one that could be revocable by the secretary of agriculture. Legislation removing the difficulty is now pending, after persistent endeavors by the for est service to obtain power legislation from congress.
 Not less than $4,OOO,OOO will be re- quired to launch a single pulp mill en- terprise in Alaska, according to the forest service, because of the high cost of transportation on all materials and machinery shipped to Alaska, and be- cause of the necessity for developing local facilities in the way of towns, dockage and local transportation.

EYESOF WORLD
 PULP WOOD
 OF N0RTHLAND

With the present scarcity of news print forming the most critical con- dition in the history of the publishing industry, and with the eyes of the nation turned toward the Pacific North west forests for relief, the Portland offices of the United States forest serv- ice have received hundreds of inquir- 1es from persons interested in paper manufacture
 District 6 of the forest service com prises all the national forests in Ore gon, Washington and Alaska, the greatest paper pulp producing centers in the United States.
 Mill Permits Asked
 Twelve actual applications for defi- mite permits to establish pulp mills on national forest lands in these three regions have been received by District Forester George Cecil, the greater number of them being for sites i2 Alaska, where the heavy stands of Sitka spruce and abundant water power combine to make the prospect most desirable.
 Two of these cases are now being held up pending field examination by the forest service to determine the best pulp chances in Alaska One of the forest service timber experts will leave soon for Alaska to spend the summer cruising and studying the To- ealities best suited for the installation of pulp mill equipment.
 Open Pulp Wood Forests
 ". G. Weigle, former superintendent of Alaska forests, and later supervisor of the Snoqualmie national forest in Washington, has been assigned to the paper pulp situation and will devote his entire attention to the greater ex- pansion of the paper pulp industry in Oregon and Washington through the supplying of government timber for paper purposes.
 It is estimated by forest service of fcials that there are 100 100000 cords of pulp wood in the national forests of Alaska. Under careful management these pulp wood forests would produce a continuous yield of 100000 cords per annum, or about one-third of the present consumption in the United States. The species are chiefly spruce and hemlock. It's growth it's compar- atively rapid, but it would be impos- Bible to produce pulp wood in less than fifty years, and it is probable, say forest men, that to obtain maxi mum production the timber should not be cut in less than seventy-five years.
 Service Handicapped
 The restriction on shipping timber from public lands in Alaska does not apply to national forests, it is said The forest service has been handi- capped in exploring the timber re- sources because of limited funds for timber surveys, but number of areas have been examined and reported upon as to the feasibility of operation The best expert of the forest service in pulp wood developments spent two seasons in Alaska examining and re- porting upon opportunities of pulp wood enterprises, number of streams have been examined, and stream gaug- ing conducted to determine the avail able water power. Although the serv- ice has sold 42O 1000 00O feet of timber in the Alaska forests within the last ten years, the lumber has gone into

jim GOOD AMI, HIS BUDGET,

In the coming congress James
Good, representative from the Fifth
Iowa will be a very prominent figure
as chairman of the committee of APP
preparations. He has lately come
largely into the, public eye because
OF his budget plan of financing public
business the bill establishing which
tho supported by some democrats
and passed by conspicuous major
fty was vetoed by president Wilson.
1t Is Of course very gratifying to his
home district and to those who sup
ported his claim to be elected as re-
preventative to observe Mr.. Goods rise
in the councils of the nation. Good
has been a hard worker. busy man
during his incumbency. a character
istic that accomplished far greater
results for its possessor and those he
serves than brilliaTcy which loafs on
the job.
The budget system as carried in
the Good bin is Intended to put the
president under obligation to lay be-
fore congress at ita converting in the
regular session budget of the con-
dition OF the Treasury with the facts
and figures on which the budget Is
prepared. Of the revenues and ex-
penditures OF the government during
the last completed year and during
the year In progre ~, and OF the re-
venues and expenditures to be pro-
vided for the year to he financed.
Under the present system congress
knows very little as to the wisdom
with which the executive spends the
money 1t appropristes. In short the
legislative is to furnish the appro-
priations with out detailed state
ment OF what for and why the money
Is to be spent. Under the budget
system congress can observe expen-
ditures and recommend economies.
Having the power of appropriations
1t can stop orgies CT waste and graft
and carelessness, that have marked
the past few years.
It is a republican measure. If It Is

lican congress aid republican

men won greater victory than IL
they had brought the corporation
down to ignominious surrender.
A man in whom at first they had
no confidence but later they learned
to trust came to them and talked
man fashion of the square deal--a
square deal to capital and "a square
deal to labor. He talked of capital
and labor as partners, not as foes.
He was so earnest, so unassuming
and so different from what they had
pictured him that some of them
doubted he was the man he was said
to be. The women-the wives of the
workers--didn't doubt him, however.
Neither did the children.
Since then the c. +. & 1. has pros
pered. With it's prosperity there has
come the change illustrated by the
statement of sos out of its 5000 coal
mine workers out OF eight, you
might say--owning their automo-
biles, the pretty homes replacing
shacks. gardens blossoming where
once the earth was barren, schools,
Fairgrounds, churches displacing sa-
looms and vile joints.
The "flivver" takes the miner and
his family out into the hills and val
| leys of Colorado today. The digger
into the earth knows more of peace
and prosperity there than ever he
could have known thru strike. The
mining towns of the G. +. & l. are
models OF what all mining towns in
America should be.
And all because one man went
there and preached and put into eff
feet the gospel of the Square Deal.

close the truth about the prisoners
soviet that ruled Leavenworth prison
for six months in 1919 as ordered by
the war department. There have
been denials that such O soviet exist
ed. but the report OF a special agent
of the department Of justice to the
court Is so detailed and circumstan-
tial, and probobly was made under
oath, as to remove all doubt
The adjutant general OF the army
ordered that a prisoners committee
be formed, and it was given the man
agement OF the Institution, including
the making OF n new constitution and
power to enforce 1t. by inflicting pun
ishments, which took the form Of
beatings. Several hundred hardened
criminals had share in running the
penitentiary, with the results that
might have been expected. Among
other things, they made liquor out of
potato parings.

Murderers, train robbers and count

This innovation In prison manage

prisoners had rebelled against prison
discipline, had gone on strikes and
otherwise manifested their discomfort.

THE TURN TO HItsHeR GROUND.

A map Of the New England states
showing the number of new golf
courses. country clubs and out of
door resorts established recently Is
impressive. The country is spotted
with them. Farther west lacking the
mapped statistics observation shows
that the out door resort is dotting
the city environs Golf courses and
country clubs are becoming common
to smaller cities ard even to minor
cities and larger towns. Naturally
this increase is not so great in the
middle west as in the more con-
gested eastern states, but golf
courses and country clubs and parks
whore people may rest and amuse
themselves wholesomely are multi
plying rapidly.
It is q sign Of the turning toward
wholesome amusements. Several
things are responsible. Those who
In the east and in the larger CEN
ters found the resorts where liquor
was one of the main attractions suf-
ficient, have been turned another
way by the elimination of the booze
from cafes and saloons and hotel
resorts. People will ,amuse them
selves in their leisure. Lacking the
less reputable and wholesome activ-
tiles they turn to qrieter and cleaner
and more healthful pursuits
The money that went over the bars
and into the pockets Of liquor pur-
veying resorts is following the plane
OF lessor resistance. Much of it is
going into the financing Of the new
amusements and the out of door
pleasures. The division, social
and business and political, which
kept men and families apart in the
warfare over the liquor question
have lost their lines. 1t is easier to
create public and semi public resorts
of the more wholesome kind. Men
work together better.
OF course the automobile and the
prosperous years behind us have had
their effect in multiplying those spots
where communities may gather and
find ease and amusement and social
delight.
But the elimination of booze has
made a wonderful change in COM
munities as in men. To be sure
there are those who seek and find
alcoholic stimulation. the old guard
that dies of kidney trouble but new
er surrenders. Yet they are in very
minor and hopeless minority. The
development of community feeling
and wholesome social interests has
been marvellous since, the liquor traf-
fic had its back broken.
With all our sins upon our heads
there is sharp trend toward whole
someness and cleanliness in our So
cial movement. We are a better,
happier and more prosperous people
than we were ten o.. twenty years
ago and one of the strongest levers
