HARTFORD, Conn. Feb. 25.-The
Dearborn Independent, Henry Ford's
international weekly, has been barred
from the Hartford Public Library. The
directors of the library decided this
week, it was learned to-day, to remove
this publication from the reading room
as a result of the attack on the Jews
by Mr.. Ford.
Soon after the anti-Jewish articles
began to appear in The Dearborn In
dependent, prominent Jewish citizens
of Hartford called on directors and
officers Of the library, who are pro1ni-
nent Hartford citizens, to protest
against the circulating of the publica-
tion through the public library. AS q

Calvin Working On a Big Paper
 Mill Project
Engineer and Cruisers Are Due From East In a
 Few Days

J. G. Calvin, who has been in the East several months, returned to Wrangell on the Seattle Tues day.
 When seen at the Wrangell Ho- tel by the Sentinel reporter MT. Calvin was asked concerning ru- mors that had preceded his coming regarding a gigantic project for the manufacture of pulp and paper.
 MT. Calvin said: ''I feel that it is little too soon to do much talking. However, 1 do not deny that am working on a pulp and paper proposition of considerable magnitude, and the progress that and my associates have made thus far is entirely satisfactory.
 We plan to establish in the vi- cinity of Wrangell paper mill having a capacity of POO tons of newsprint paper daily, and have already made arrangements where by we can dispose of 200 tons daily for 10 years.
 George F. Hardy, one of the ablest pulp and paper engineers in America, has estimated the cost of the proposed mill at 1000, 900. oo. Engineers and cruisers are due in Wrangell in a few days.
 The first survey will be made at Mill Creek and Virginia lake. We plar 10 construct 5o-foot dam at the outlet of Virginia lake.
 It is our intention to bring to- gether sufficient water power for the manufacture of 200 tons of pa- per daily, which in round numbers would require 20, 1000 horsepower.
 It has been estimated that the cost of logging and towing in this vicinity will be cheaper than at any other place on the Pacific Coast. '"

Wrangell Pulp &
 Paper Co. Getting
 Ready for Business

The Wrangell Pulp and Paper Company, composed of local peo- pie with eastern connections, are busy with plans for the establish ment ofa pulp and paper mill in the Wrangell District.
 This company has made appli- cation to the Federal Power Con- mission for a preliminary permit for power development on certain unnamed streams and lakes dis charging into the head of Me Henry Inlet, Etolin island. The company has also filed application involving power development on Harding Creek and Fall Lake dis charging into the north side of Bradfeld canal at point north westerly from the north point of Duck Island. The Federal Power Commission has published legal notice stating that this company is also one of the applicants for preliminary permit for power de- velopment on Crittenden Creek, and on Mill Creek, and Lake Vir- ginia, near Wrangell.
 The Wrangell Pulp and Paper Company have had reports made on the above water power sites by Donald G. Campbell of the well known engineering firm of Campbell, Wells & Elmdorf of Seattle. Much of the informa- tion contained in the article on this page regarding the develop ment of the pulp industry in Alas ka was taken from MT. Camp bells report on the sites applied for by this company.
 Representatives of the Forest Service, under the direction of the Federal Power Commission. are now surveying the sites men, toned above.
 As soon as permits are received from the Federal Power CommiS- sion the company will be in a po- sition to go ahead with the pro- ject.

Territory Contains the Largest Quantity of Clear High Grade Spruce to Be
 Found in the United States
See last page for editorial comment,

Sometime ago Col w. B. Greeley Chief Forester United States left Washington for the of spending month in Alaska inspecting the timber and other natural sources of the Territory.
 Upon his arrival in Seattle his Alaska Colonel Greeley interviewed by the regarding his and the quality of the timber the Alaskan forests Colonel Greeley said in part:
 ".Aside from enormous quantities of good pulpwood and servceable construction timber the Territory prob ably contains the largest quantity of clear high grade spruce to be found in the United States.
 During the this spruce passed every test for arpane construction, and it is being shipped the Eastern States in increasing quantities for and fac tory stock and high grade finish. One of the things will accomplish by bringing the paper industry into Alaska will be to open up her thousands of miles of coastal forests and make available much larger supply of special products like cedar, clear spruce and long ping."
 When asked the possibilities of the pupwod industry Alaska, Colonel Greeley said
 Alaska contains 1OO OOO cords pupwood She has the produce O 900 tons of yearly That nearly
 third of the used the United States and nearly equal what compelled import from Canada With able under the methods followed by the Forest Service this be kept from the National Forests of Alaska ualy. There is the real solution of the shorage

We'll Known
 Young Author
 Visiting Alaska

Edison Marshall, a magazine writer of note, was an arrival in Wrangell last Friday and re- mained here until Tuesday when he left for the Iskut on the Hazel B.
 MT. Marshall is a contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, The American, Everybody's, Blue Book, Metropolitan, Popu- lar and other magazines. He is the author of "The Voice of the Pack, " Strength of the Pines" and "The Snowshoe Trail" " The scenes of the last named book were laid in British Columbia. The trip to the Iskut is made for the purpose of getting local color for a new story which may as- sume book form. A serial story, Shepherd of the Wilds" is run ming in the Blue Book at present. A short story, "The Heart of Little Shikara, published in Everybody's, is considered the best short story of the year so far.
 MT. Marshall wrote his first story in 1913 while at college and has given his time entirely to fc- tion writing since 1915. He was married early in 1920 to Miss Az nes Blythe of Augusta, Ga., but is a Westerner and very proud of it. He attended the University of Oregon from 1913 to 1915 and is a member of Sigma Upsilon and Delta Tau Delta. His home l is in Medford, Oregon. He will remain up the Iskut for three weeks.

omic development, utilizing the greater part of the total run-off at minimum expense. These con- ditions are fairly we'll fulfilled at the Mill Creek and McHenry Creek sites and are almost per fectly fulfilled on Harding Creek.
 There should be feasible at Mill Creek the development of 1500 h. p. to 5000 h. D.; at McHenry Creek, $500 to 5000 h. D. and at Harding Creek between 5000 and 10, GOO h. D., or a grand total of 14,OO0 to 18.000 continuous horse power.
 These power sites are in the case of Mill Creek and McHenry Creek so close to deep water that the power may be utilized directly by turbine wheels at a consider able saving of first cost and oper- ating efficiency. In the case of the Harding Creek site, the pow CT would have to be transmitted as electricity for about five miles to a suitable. site at deep water.
 Furthermore, these sites are either directly on or within a few miles of the main steamer routes between Seattle and Alaskan ports and can be entered at all times by the largest passenger or freight steamers. The climate being mild and the situation be- ing close to the trade routes and to established towns, there will be no difficulty in securing an ad- equate supply of suitable labor at a cost essentially not greater than in the State of Washington or in British Columbia.
 There remains yet to be de- termined reasonably accurate figures as to the cost of develop ing these water powers in the most feasible manner for utiliza- tion in such type or combination of pulp and paper plants as may be considered suitable and advis. able.
 These are the necessary and essential factors for the es- tablishment of a project in an in- dustry which will be compelled to develop in Alaska within the next few years.

at 5000 feet board measure per acre, in a belt averaging one mile wide along the coast. In favor able locations the stand will run to 20, 900 feet per acre and higher. Of the total Sitka Spruce forms about 20oo, 50% of which is Vest tern Hemlock and the remainder less suitable woods.
 In the Bradfield and Stikine River valleys considerable Cotton wood is available. In their re- port on the water powers of Brit ish Columbia, prepared by the government, a statement is made on page 280 regarding the Stikine River, which furnishes some con- parative evidence as to the growth of Cottonwood, which reads and as follows:
 "The mountains immedi-
 ately bordering on the valley
 of the Stikine rise abruptly
 from the wide alluvial flats
 through which the river
 winds the flats are gen.
 erally covered with fine
 growths of cottonwood, min-
 gled with spruce and other
 trees * the river is navi-
 gable by stern wheel steam
 CTS of light draft and good
 power for a distance of 138
 miles"
 In a report on the various re- sources of British Columbia for 1918, a statement is made on page 316 as to the amount of mer- chantable timber by species in the Stikine and Unuk drainage basins as follows.

Waterways in
 This Vicinity
 To Be Improved
Government Engineer IsHere Collecting Data for Final Report on Dry Straits Im- pavement Project, and Also That of Wrangell Narrows.

C. s. Keller ot the Engineering Department at Large arrived in Wrangell few days ago for the purpose of collecting additional data on the two routes of water travel known as the Dry Straits and Wrangell Narrows.
 For the past two and one-half years Mir. Keller has been connec- ted with the big government power project at Mussel Shoals, Alabama.
 Upon Mir. Keifer's arrival in Alaska he was assigned to the task of collecting data for the final report on the Dry Straits improvement project, and also on that of Nran. gell Narrows.
 MT. Keller will spend whatever length of time in this vicinity is required to make a complete com parison of the relative merits of the two routes- to full project depth, taking into account first cost and subsequent maintenance, dependa- bllity, possibilities of enlargement. ice and fog conditions, and the views of practical navlgators. Mir. Keller will also make an exhaustive study of the problems involved, including a careful estimate of the present and prospective commerce and tne proper channel dimensions to accommodate this traffic.
 In addition to obtaining an esti- mate of the tonnage passing through here an effort will be made to se- cure all possible information re- garding the time lost by steamers in waiting for tides.
 From the fact that the engineer has been directed to make an ex- haustive study of the conditions existing in both the Wrangell Mar. rows and the Dry Straits it is evil dent that the Government contem- plates the improvement of which ever route is shown to be most feas- ible.
 The Wrangell Narrows passage was surveyed in 1902. The engi- neer's investigations of the Nar- rows will be largely in the nature of checking up on the former sur vey and ascertaining what changes have taken place since the earlier survey was made.
 The Dry Straits channel was surveyed in 1916. In the investi- gation of the Dry Straits the engi- neer will ascertain what changes have taken place there since the survey was made five years ago; whether the alluvial deposits come from the left or right arm of the Stikine. and also ascertain from the character of the bottom of the Dry Straits channel whether dikes would stand. In short, Mir. Keller is going after the engineering fea- lures of both propositions. .
 The Narrows proposition would require much blasting under water. The Dry Straits is a much simpler dredging proposition, and as the Government already has dredges on the Pacific Coast very little time would be required for the be- ginning of operations should the Government decide to go ahead with the Dry Straits proposition.

This timber would be easily
 accessible were there a mar
 ket for it.
 This applies to the timber in that part of the Stikine valley lying within the Canadian boun- diary a distance of some 30 miles from the mouth of the river. The wider flats and low elevation of the American portion of the river valley have an even better stand of timber, and especially cotton wood, according to reports of United States foresters.
 Water Power Sites
 The Alaskan coast is character ized by steep rugged mountains rising abruptly from deep water. In most cases the streams flowing into the Pacific are comparatively small, draining perhaps an aver age of 50 to 100 square miles of water shed. They arise for the most part in glaciers and the rap- i'd melting in summer time, to- gether with a heavy precipitation averaging over 100 inches an- nually, produce great f1uctua- tions of discharge, which reach the maximum from May to Sep tember and which practically be- come close to the zero point for two or three of the winter months.
 The larger rivers such as the Stikine and others which drain a large water shed and which have cut through valleys back deep into the coast range, are charac- terized by broad U-shaped valleys and by having very low grades, so that in almost no case is it possible to secure economical sites for a dam which would give a sufficiently high head.
 Due to these conditions and the physiography, adequate storage reservoirs to hold the excess run. off are in most cases impossible except where these streams are fed from lakes and have a broad valley behind them of compara. lively low grade and are followed by either a high narrow canyon or a large fall. by which a suit. ably high head may be secured together with a large storage ca pacity. These conditions, wher fulfilled, make possible an econ

Development Pulp Industry
 In Alaska
CountryP Possesses LimitleSs Supply of Pulp Wood Sit uated on Tide Water Such That It Can Be Delivered At Minimum Cost.

A new industry in Alaska that is in process of development, and which is attracting consider able attention at this time, is the manufacture of pulp and paper. The object of this article is to give plain general statement of the essential factors to be consid- cred in the development of the pulp and paper industry in Alas ka, and especially as affecting the water power sites and timber reservations, of the Wrangell dis trict, which are now being inves- tigated and surveyed.
 In the first place the demand for paper in the United States is growing enormously and has tripled in the last 20 years. This increased demand has largely been for news print and magazine papers, in which ground wood pulp forms the largest ingredient.
 In consequence of the rapid ex- pansion of the industry and the increasing exhaustion and in- creased cost of pulp wood, the paper industry has been moving rapidly westward and northward from the New England states, so that about two-thirds or more of the present American consump- tion is imported from Canada. Numerous plants have of recent years been constructed and put into successful operation in Wash ington and Oregon. On the Brit ish Columbia coast an active helpful policy on the part of the Dominion government has in- creased the development of the industry there so that there is being now produced in that Prov ince in the neighborhood of 1000 tons of paper and pulp daily, with the utilization of between 75,0O0 and 100000 horse power from hydroelectric development.
 The industry is now moving farther north. The various hand leaps imposed on the develop ment of Alaskan resources by an unduly restrictive governmental policy have been largely removed and replaced by helpful attitude. Alaska has every advantage now possessed by British Columbia, and in addition has the advantage that its products do not have to pay duty to enter the States. The plants now under construc- tion or in contemplation will use the most suitable water power sites now available and it will not be many years before expansion of the pulp industry in Alaska will be limited by ability to se- cure cheap power.
 Among the advantages which Alaska offers to the pulp and pa per industry are the following:
 Timber Supply
 A limitless supply of suitable pulp wood situated on tide water, such that it can be delivered at minimum cost.
 The timber of Southeastern Alaska is practically all subject to the jurisdiction of the Forest Service, which offers to reserve a sufficient area around each pulp and paper mill constructed to supply it for at least 30 years; and to sell this timber practically as it is required for use.
 According to Professional Bull letin $50 of the Forest Service, the average stand of timber in Southeastern Alaska is estimated
