The eruption of Pavlof is the first great disturbance of the kind since the blowing up of Mt. katmai in 1912.
 Nit. Pavlof is a more or less active volcano of a height of about $500 feet.

It is but one of the many active cones of the Aleutian arm and is located near the east side Of the mainland just off Pavlof Bay at the lower end of the Peninsula.

ALASKA PULP WILL. SUPPLY
 BIC MARKET

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Negotia- pected to initiate the establishment of an important industry in southern Alaska capable of furnishing perpet- ually a large proportion of print paper demands of the United States. Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture expects soon to sign contracts with a number of respon- sible concerns for the purchase of pulpWood from Alaska National For ests and for the allocation of water power sites through the Federal Pow CT Commission for the purpose of manufacturing both puIpWood and paper. On the Tongass National Forest, it is estimated there is a source of supply of timber which can furnish perpetually an annual yield of print paper equal to one third of the total national consump- ton of the United States. The in dustry when established will be upon a permanent basis with raw material at a reasonable price.
 For some time the Forest Service has been collecting the information essential to the practical development of the Tongass National Forest and the work is well toward completion. The merchantable timber on that forest includes at least 10G,000,000 cords of western hemlock and Sitka spruce.
 As a step forward the establish ment of the paper industry in Al .sl,a the Tongass Forest has been ten tativeIy divided into forteen zones, each embracing sufficient timber to furnish a large paper mill with a permanent supply of raw material Each zone has been deliniated as to include water power sites sufficient to meet the requirements of manu- fracture.
 The Federal Power Commission has been cooperating with the For est Service in securing the water power data. In addition to providing reliable information regarding water power, available for the Alaskan paper industry, the work has resulted in the discovery of number of valuable water power sites not here tofore known to exist, notably one permitting the development of from I22.OOO to 24,OOO horsepower at very low cost.
