That construction work will begin on a pulp and paper plant at Seward in the near future is the belief of Col. John F.. Ballaime, of Seattle, founder Of Seward. who visited in Ju- neau yesterday while the Northwest ern was in port. "The construction of fish ladder that will meet the requirements of the Bureau Of Fish cries to permit salmon to go up the Ksnai River beyond the proposed tam,' said Colonel Ballaine, "is all that stands between the promoters and the consummation.e of the in dustry. The plans for the fish lad der have been agreed upon and the cost $100,O00. has been arranged for" he said

 Colonel ,Ballaine discussed national politics freely yesterday. A Republ- can himself, he inclines very strongly toward the more radical element in tho party. He believes. however, that President Harding will probably be renominated "because he has the or ganixation.
