WRANGELL PULP PLANT PLANS
 AWAIT ACTION ON CONTRACTS

Financiers interested in paper and pulp development at Elliot Bay, near Wrangell, are ready to go a. head as soon as contracts can be se- cured for timber supplies, accord ing to telegram received recently at Juneau by District Forester Chas II. Flory from J. G. Calvin, promo ter of the project, who is now in New York City. Mir. Calvin has re- quested as early action as possible.
 In his wire to Mir. Flory he said that engineers who examined the timber resources and the water pow CT project 10 which he had secured a preliminary permit, have made re- ports even more favorable than was expected by himself and associates. These have impressed the men who are ready to finance the project with the desirability of going ahead, he said. Before they will proceed. however. they have asked that con- tracts for timber supplies be se- cured from the Forest Service.
 Mir Fory has requested Mr Gal win to furnish data on the financial backing Of the proposition and as sured him that suitable timber ar ca will be available for supplies. This area has yet to be determined upon and cruised, which will be done as soon as weather conditions will permit.
 Nothing is known by the Forest Service of the capital Mir Calvin has interested. Several weeks ago a telegram was received at District Headquarters, signed by one J. G. Steenerson, who gave his address at the Coal and Iron National Bank of New York City, saying that s7, 100000 was available to estab- fish a manufacturing plant on the Calvin site if the reports of en- gineers were favorable.
 The water power examination was made by an engineer named Breck, formerly an engineer on the Alaska Railroad and now connected with a reliable New York engineering firm weeks ago and went East. The tim ber survey was made by Engineer Vanorsdel, representing the Lacy engineering firm of Seattle and O. ther Pacific Coast cities. Both re- ports, according to Mir. Calvin, were favorable. Data on the financial end of the proposition is expected by Mir. Flory in short time.
