candlepower illumination. and Col kutz
believes that this is sufficient.
There is great need, however. all three
Commissioners agree. of increasing the
illumination afforded by the gas lamps.
There are two ways Of accomplishing
this One is to rearrange the spacing
of the poles, the other. TO operate two
mantels instead of one.
FavoA Incandescents.
Commissioner Kutz. who exercises
supervision over the District eiectrl-
cal department.. believes that neither
plan will be economical in the long
run, and that better policy would oe
to, replace all gas lamps with incande.,
cent lamps as rapidly as Congress Will
provide funds for the work.
The last board of Commissioners
practically pledged itself to this po1 :
icy when. in the supplements esl-
mates sent to the Senate for improve
ments to be paid for out OF the sur
plus District funds in the Treasury.
it asked an appropriation of $4,000
with which to start the replacement
of gas with electric lamps. The Sen
ate approved the item. but it was lost
in conference.
For several years the Commission
ers have been requesting larger ap-
propriations for street lighting than
Congress has allowed. In their esti-
mates for the fiscal year 1921 the
Commissioners asked for $450.000 for
street lighting and got $415.000. Last
year they requested an appropriation
of $478.000 in addition to the $4,000
item included in the supplemental es-
Inmates. The appropriation finally
authorized was $4,000.
There is no doubt the Commission
ers will ask for very liberal light
ing appropriation in the next regular
budget. In the meantime they will
make every possible use OF the funds
becoming available July l in lighting
up spots where insufficient illumina-
,tion is held to be a menace to the
safety of the citizens.

The Forest Service has tried for
many years to establish pulp mill in
Alaska, but the pioneering difficulties
attending such an enterprise, coupled

WAlp and paper, have prevented de-
"Eelopment of the industry. 1t was
not until the summer of 1920 that the
first mill was built. The first run of
.Ululp was made on January "a.
"Thc Tongass National Forest of
AAaska," said Chief Forester w. B.
Greeley, "contains 70 billion feet of
timber sufficient to meet one-third of
the pulp and paper requirements of
the United States. There is also a
, tremendous amount of undeveloped
water power, from which probably a
quarter million horsepower could be
obtained. An area containing 2 bill

placed on the market soon by the For
