FORTUNES WAIT
 ONES TO SEIZE
 OPPORTUNITY

Industrial and financial conditions just now in the northwest are unset tied. Every one is waiting until the administration changes. It is ex- pected that recovery will begin in an- other 60 days, and apparently prices, in most instances, have reached the bottom"
 Charles Goldstein, the Juneau mer- chant made this statement after a close study of industrial conditions in Seattle, Tacoma and Portland, on his return to that city.
 MT. Goldstein said people in Alaska who have not been outside recently could hardly realize hw fortunate they were, whether in business, work ing for wages, or even out of work. compared with the condition of the people outside. He was constantly ap- preached by people who were anxious to come north.
 "The stock market is stiffen!ng, continued MT Goldstein, "and busi- ness and financial people, as a rule, though very hard pressed in many in- stances, are taking a rather hopeful view of the outlook. They seem to be- Hove that as soon as the administza- tlCn changes over, conditions will be- come normal again, l. was realized that readjustment of high prices and high wages was inevitable, but when it came, although it was expected, many found themselves unprepared for sharp decline in some instances, and guessed wrong in other instances
 This is Alaska's golden oppor- tunity and we should make the most of it. We need the people, we need new enterprises, more capital and must cooperate to the end that our natural resources in mining, lumber ing, water power, pulp and paper-mak- ing, fishing and manufacturing may be utilized. There is chance for all Alaskans to prosper. The founda- tion for many a large fortune may be laiG within the next year by those who are alive and will seize the opportun- ity offered"

The information was received from Representative Ad- dison l. Smith in letter sent to MT Boyle. It is also probable, the letter stated, that the senate will pass the bill, as a similar one was favorably acted upon at the last session of con- gress. SIT
 Mir. Smith is chairman of the house subcommittee on public lands. He stated that he intended using all his influence to aid the passage of the billie in the house.

POSSIBILITY OF PULP MILL BEING BUILT ON
 GASTINEAU CHANNEL

There is a possibility that a paper mill will be built at some point on Gastineau channel within the next year or two. The plant will be put in by the Alaska Gastineau Mining Com pany if that organization can com plete the negotiations now being con- sidered
 The mining company has consider able surplus power and some time ago began looking for an outlet for it.. The matter of paper mill came up and negotiations have been under way for some time, having in view a mill that would use the power now dor mant.
 There are many things to consid- CT in the building of a mill of this nature, according to Manager Jack son of the mining company. First of these is the timber. The government requires certain conditions before it will advertise the sale of the timber. It then takes 90 days for the advertis- ing. Information as to the avail ability of machinery is also an import ant factor. With these and many oth- CT factors not yet solved you can readily see that the project is only in the formative stage We are interest ed in Alaska and of course will take a pride in anything that is or can be done toward it's development"
