TURN FOR BETTER EXPERIENCED

The feeling ~ general in the states that in dustry and business have turned the corner. Tangible evidence of this is on every hand. Some of the high lights contributing to this conservative ol timism are:
 The full swing of the harvest season in the agricultural belt, and the prompt moving of crops to primary markets. This is bringing millions of dollars of actual cash into the az ricultural heart of the country which has been the hardest hit, financially, and the stinulat- ing effect is already seen in all lines of retail and wholesale business. In addition arrange. ments either have been made, or are about to be competed, which will give the farmers $125,. OOO,OOO in new long timed credits.
 Increasing activities in a very great num- Der and variety of manufacturing industries In many cases manufacturing plants are run ing to capacity in order to meet fall deliveries
 Reduction of bank loans to almost one-half of their high level of last winter
 A general increase in building activities
 General and very appreciable increase in retail business resulting in increased orders for fall deliveries
 Demonstration of the financial stability of the "average man" as shown by reports to the federal reserve board. These reports submitted by over 500 banks in more than 100 of the chief cities of the country, show an in crease in savings deposits over last year of $23S,OOO,0O0. This condition was quite con trary to the generally accepted belief that the average men was "going broke" or using up all of his wartime savings
 Decrease in number of business failures and in amount of abilities
 Increase in freight traffic and demanI for cars.
 Of probably even more consequence is the fact that back of all these conditions feeling of confidence and sclf-rclance permeatoS the business world in place of the pessimism of few months ago.

prior to 1919, become sufficiently favorable to attract capital. For years the forest service tried III vain to interest capital in the devel- opment of enterprises for paper production in Alaska. Had it succeeded these enterprises would now be in a very advantageous position.
 Practically all the timber in southeastern Alaska is under the control of the government and is within the boundaries of the national forest, the exceptions being reservations and town sites. The area of land in private owner ship is small
 The purpose of the forest service, it is said, looks beyond merely finding a market for gov ernment timber in order that the timber may be cut and new growth started in its place. The forests are administered as public proper ties treated to serve public needs. Alaska s first need is said to be capital. It has not vet reached point at which the upbuiding of the territory can be effected merely by an
 influx of pioneers of the type that conquered the wilderness in the western states While development must be gradual process gov erned by economic facts, large scale operations are essential il is said.

A DEUCE OF WHEAT

The city of Galvestan, Tex, has become one of the greatest shipping ports of the country and is now being deluged with a Veritable flood of wheat pouring through that port to all quarters of the globe. For the last two months Galveston has led all ports in the United States in grain exports In June over l6O0000O bushels of wheat left Galveston for foreign countries. Wheat is converging upon this port from every grain growing state. As many as 100 ear loads of grain a day are hauled into the Galveston yards across the causeway to be loaded into ships.
 The grain exporters account for this un- usual flood of outgoing wheat to the long con tinued breakdown of agricultural production in Russia Italy, Germany, Greece and oth- CT countries which formerly depended almost wholly upon the cereals of Russia are now placing practically all of their grain orders in the middle western United States. The last months record shows Italy to be the middle west s best customer with purchases in excess of 3,OOO,OOO bushels; Great Britain came sec ond with purchases of slightly less than 300O,- GOO, and Germany was third with purchases in excess of 100000 bushels. France is rap idly getting to the point where she can again feed herself as her purchases were only 100000 bushels, while Belgium took up approximately the same amount Holland and Spain each purchased approximately 100000 bushels.

POSSIBILITIES OF ALASKA
 PULPWOOD

tFrom the National Republican,
 The time seems to be ipe for the extensive development of Alaska pull pwood. The demand for paper it is said, has increased to such an extent that is has become possible for we'll organized and adequately financed companies to operate pulp and paper mills on an exten- sive scale particularly for making ncwsprint All indications point to continuance of the demand at prices that should make possible profitable operations in Alaska. New sources are imperatively required it is said for the supply of raw pulpwood.
 The department of agriculture believes that the development of the forest and water power resources of Alaska is a practicable means of increasing the supply of newsprint available for the United States and of eventually less ening the paper shortage now so acute The national forests of Alaska probably contain it is estimated, 100,000,000 cords of timber suitable for. the manufacture of newsprnt and other grades of paper. Under careful manage ment these forests can produce 2,OOO,OOO cords of pulpwood annually for all time, or enough to manufacture onethird of the pulp products now consumed in the United States
 Alaskan forests also contain the second chief essential of the paper manufacturing in dustry-water power. While no accurate sur way of water has been made known, projects have possible development of more than 1OO- GOO horse power; and the forest service esti mates that complete exploration of the national forests of southern Alaska will dis close their potential horse power to be not less than 250,0OO
 Scarcely any other part of the country, !" says the department bulletin, "offers field for the industry equal to that afforded by AL aska. It is virgin field because in spite of its natural advantages and vast supplies of raw material, economic conditions had not,
