Coaches Allen and Ault have been

ALASKA TO START

Negotiations Under Way To

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Negotia-
tions are under way which are ex-
pected to initiate the establishment of
an important industry in Southern
Alaska capable of furnishing perpe-
tually large proportion of print pa
per demands OF the United States.
Secretary Wallace of the Department
of Agriculture expects soon to sign
contracts with a numt er OF respon-
sible concerns for the purchase of
pulpwocds from Alaska National For
ests and for the ALLEGATION of water
power sites through tho Federal Pow
er Commission for the purpose of
manufacturing both pulpwood and
paper On the Tongass National For
est. II is estimated there is a source
of supply of timber which can fur
nish perpetually an annual yield of
print paper equal to one-third OF the
total national CONSUMPTION of the
United States. The industry when es-
tablished will be upon a permanent
basis with raw material at a reason

Sailors Of Reina Mercedes Held
Local Quint Close In
First Half II

Expecting a rather easy time of it,
but meeting something of a tartar.
about describes the basketball game
between the Vagabond Athletic Club,
of Annapolis, and the bluejackets at
tached to the station ship Reina Mer
cedes at the Naval Academy. which
was staged in the gymnasium at st.
Johns College last night The vaga-
bonds finally won out by the score of
30 to 20, but the decisiveness of the
count scarcely accredits for the good
work done by the sailors.
Sailors Clever Passers
Playing game of the standard that
would make the average college team
take notice, with a display of especi-
ally good passing, the sailors kept
their opponents on the jump all the
time in the first half. and the "Vags'
were forced to the limit to end that
period with a one-point margin, the
score reading Is to IT. Time and
again the blueiackets broke through
the Vagabond defense.
Vagabonds Spruce Up
In the second half, however, the
seamen were unable to get going
good They continued to play a
steady game, but passed recklessly
and lost their keenness in shooting
for the basket. The Vagabonds were
correspondingly stronger on the de-
fense, and also uncovered flashes of
better offensive play. AS an indica-
ton OF the better defensive work of
the "yags," the seamen scored only
once from court, as well as the foul
circle, during the closing period.
Wilson, Musterman and Ault were
the stellar performers for the Naga-
bonds, while Nidds and O'Dona.d ox-
celled for the bluejackets.

Prospects for a good rifle team are

showing in matches which will be ar
ranged with other collegiate institu-

To Develop Forest

For some time the Forest Service
has heen collecting the information
essential to the practical development
OF the Tongass National Forest and
the work is we'll toward completion.
The merchantable timber on that for
est includes at least 100,000,000 cords
or western hemlock and Sitka spruce.
As step forward the establishment
of the paper industry in Alaska the
Tongass Forest has been tentatively
divided into fourteen zones, each en-
bracing sufficient timter to furnish
large paper mill with a permanent
supply of raw material. Each zone
has 1een deliniated so as to include
water power sites sufficient to meet
the requirements of manufacture.
The Federal Power Commission has
hoen cooperating with the Forest
Service in securing the water power
data. In addition to providing reli-
able Information regarding water
power available for the Alaskan pa
per industry, the work has resulted
in the discovery of a number of val
liable water power sites not hereto
fore known to exist, notably one per-
mitting the development of from 22,-

Even as he sprawled about, and be-
