NEWSY LETTER
 FROM SEATTLE
 ABOUT ALASKA

SEATTLE, Feb. 7.-(Special to the Daily Times) ).-Negotiations are being closed between the forestry depart ment and the Gastineau Pulp Com pany for two billion feet of standing timber in the .Tongass forest reserve, situated on Admiralty Island, most of which is suitable for pulp manufac- ture, according to Scott Calhoun, who has been in charge of the legal end of the company's efforts to se- cure suitable tract of timber to warrant the investment of close to s6,000,00O at Juneau and vicinity.
 Calhoun did not deny that the Jack ling-Hayden & Stone interests had already placed an order for the ms chinery necessary for the, manufac. ture of 150 tons of newsprint paper. It Is claimed, however, that the order has been placed with eastern manu- lecturers for early summer delivery,
The Cordova daily times., 1921-02-07

and 1t is taken as authentic that a large paper mill is to be placed in close vicinity of Juneau. There has been considerable activity in the past 60 days by parties seeking to secure power permits in anticipation of an early development, of Alaska pulp in- dustry. The Alaska Pulp & Paper Company at Snettisham were sched- uled to start the splitter last week. This plant will handle about 20 tons of pulp, giving revenue of about $2,5O0 a day, which returns will be used to gradually expand operations.
 Of the Alaska applications one Is made by Attorney Maurice D. Leehv of Seattle for power development at Beaver Falls and Lake Mahoney. near Ketchikan. It is understood MT, Leehy has in mind possible opera. tions of pulp mill by London syn. dicate.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-02-07

There is every indication of a heavy travel north in the spring to be fol- lowed by the heaviest tourist travel in history. Although there will be few cannery crews moved north the Alaskans returning north will far ex- ceed canners' help usually taken north. Hundreds of Alaskan deter mine to return north in the spring.
The Cordova daily times., 1921-02-07

J. W. Marr, partner of Emil Davis in the Commonwealth group of lode claims at Hyder, was in Seattle last week to consult with other officials of the Commonwealth Mining and Ex- ploration Company regarding develop ment work which will start in the spring. Last fall the surface showing on this group was carefully sampled, showing exceptional returns in sil- yer and gold. It is planned to drive a tunnel about 200 feet to tap the ore body at a depth of appriximate- ly 500 feet. The main ore body as shown on the surface is very wide, and it is believed it will show values at this depth for more than 200 feet wide.

Another application is made by George c. Ha2elet of Cordova, who is drilling for oil in the Katalla fields. MT. Hazelet proposed a 50-foot dam at the outlet of Silver lake with a pipe line 1000 feet long to a power house to develop about 12,0Oo horse. power near a plhp mill, proposed for erection 25 miles from Valdez.

DUMB HERO ON CASUALTY LIST
Old Red Cross Army Mule the Only Animal That Was Accorded the
 Distinction.

Dumb animals fought. bled and died for the United States, writes ]. w Rixey Smith in the Home Sector, and only one lonely army mule, attached to the Twenty-seventh division for duty, was honored with place on the casualty list
 The eX-soldier's magazine says: Many men of the Twenty,seventh di- vision will never forget the old Red Cross mule who, so far as Is known, accounted for the only casualty accred. tied to our animals in the war. Many time the old wornout beast faithful ly piled his way right up to the front lines with chewing gum and chocolate and cigarettes. Once, in some manner, ne went too far, found himself in the thick of the fighting, got himself prop erly excited and-there are witnesses to attest it.-kicked q Boche into oblivion. And the luck that had been with him stuck, for he came safely hack to the American lines.

In and around all communities on motor truck routes it is noticeable that all roads have been improved to en- able motor trucks to maintain consist ent speed as well as to decrease depre- citation. Thus the motor truck not only makes communities independent of any one particular line of trans- portation, but serves the interests of that community efficiently and econom- ically.

serted.

The clouds they now see, have q
silver lining, however, publishers ad-

by merchants and in turn by farmers
and home makers, presages a sue
cessful and prosperous year, provid-
ing costs Of making newspapers can
be reduced and production Of news
paper supplies can be stimulated to
meet the demand. The program of
