 TO HEAD ASSN
 FOR THIS YEAR
Fair Association Elects Off cers-Begins Plans for
 Fair Next Fall.

]. F. Mullen, vice president of E. M. Behrends Bank, was yesterday elected president of the recently in- corporated Southeastern Alaska Fair Association. The election of off cers took place at the first official injecting of the Board of Directors, held yesterday.
 Other officers elected at the same time were: J. P Anderson, president Juneau Florists, first vice president; George R. Marshall, president Mar shal4Newman Co.,, treasurer, and NJ S. Whittier, Special Deputy Collector of Customs, secretary. The election of II additional vice presidents, for whom provision is made in the by laws, from the membership in neigh boring communities, was postponed unuil the next meeting of the direc- torate Plans for this years fair were discussed and issuance of stock certificates were authorized by the board.
 Hold Fair Earlier
 The board unanimously agreed that the fair this year should be held somewhat earlier than last year on account of weather conditions which might fnjure contain farm and floral exhibits if allowed to remain too long out of doors. While no definite date was fixed at yesterdays meet ing. it was the opinion of the board that the fair should be held pr.or t1 September 15. The board als1 d. cided to hold the fair for three day this year, instead of two as last year.
 Notice relative to the tentative dates for holding the fair will be immediately sent the farmers in Southeastern Alaska in order that they may have sufficient notice be- fore planting season. The Fair As sociation has been assured there will be keen rivalry this year among the farmers of Southeastern Alaska for the gold medal given for the best all-around exhibit.
 Notice will also Ee sent the schools, churches, art exhibitors, busi- ness houses. the Native societies and, in fact, all who made exhibits last year, in order tha. they may begin at once making plans for exhitts for the next fair.
 An effort will a'so be made by the Fair Association to secure ade quate quarters to accommodate { large increase in concessions, the de mand for which is already being made upon the Association. Il is predicted that the concession floor oi the fair this year will rival any fair of similar size held in the States. Definite dates and plans will be an. nounced by the board as carly aa plans develop.

 The area will be surveyed in detail and mapped early next spring, work commencing as soon as snow and weather conditions will permit opera tion of field force. In the rec9a- naissance Mir. Williams used two as- sistants. It is estimated that some thing in excess Of 1000, 100000 board fee. of pulp timber is comprised in the tract.
 The reconnaissance WIS made diff ficult by heavy snow in the hills ard ice that has formed in almost all of the bays along the shores of the two islands. Work of this na- ture, said Forest Service officials, under normal conditions would not be attempted in the winter season. How ever, the promoters of the Thomas Bay pulp and paper projact-Hutton, McNair & ugherty-urgendy re- quested prompt assignment of tim bcr leasing unit in order to facil tate them in putting if through to completion. It was represented that capital is ready to back the proposi- ton as soon as definite timber sup plies are assured. In @iew of this the reconnaissance was made this winter and the mapping and cruising will bo done as soon as practicable, it was stated.

 Water was cut off from the grind CTS for q shert time owing to a rock sllde, said Captain Baye-s. This Aas removed without delay and oper- attens resumed. Only the grinders were idle fer a few days the slw mill being operated continuously. I he company now has 100 tons of pulp on hand ready for shipment and is adding to that amount daily.
 Thirty-fiye men are now employed al the plant, he stated. Superintend- ent Lass has employment for 15 ad- d.tional experienced woodsmen and pulp men. He desires to secure these locally. if it is possible. but may be forced 10 bring in men from the States if local labor proves insuffi- cient to fill the crew, said Captain Bayers.
 A big raft of logs was recently brought 10 the mill and no shortage of grinding material is expected The stock on hand is believed to be sufficient to carry the plant over un til danger of loss of rafts through bad weather is past.
