LONDON, April 1.-THE pat

tone of the London press to-
wards the Soviet Russian dele
CATION at first adopted has given
way to one of surprise supple
mented by worry as it becomes
apparent that the Russians are
far less concerned with trade
agreements than they are with
political questions.
Rakovsky has made it quite
clear in the conferences held so
far that he does not intend to
enter into any discussions deal
ing with concessions, loans, etc.,
until all political questions have
been settled.

The reputation of Premier Mac

Russian representatives. The entire

the beginning Of the negotiations
urged Macdonald to adopt firm
tone; this he did, but it seems that
the Soviet delegation is just as con-
scious that Great Britain needs mar
kets as the British diplomats are that
Russia wants loan.
1t is being remarked here that the
criticism of the Macdonald govern
ment and the Independent Labor
Party leadership of the British Labor
Party by the Third International has
not ceased since the negotiations
opened, and if anything has become
more frank and uncompromising.
From various members of the Rus
sian delegation it has become known
that the Soviet government has de-
cided, since the Italian agreement, to
make no trade arrangements until a
favorable settlement of all political
questions has been effected.

ATHENS, April 1.-Two more

an uncon6rmed report received by

were killed.

message adds, fearing grave conse-

MAN WANTS PARADISE
 FOR HOMESTEAD HERE

Writing to the register of the land office at Anchorage, a Berke- ley, California man stated his de- sire to secure a homestead in south eastern Alaska. Nothing short of paradise was requested and, as Judge Green, the register, said, anyone knowing of such home stead would probably file on 1t in- stead of answering the letter of the Californian.
 The man said in part: T have long had a desire to go to South east Alaska and take a homestead but it is such a big country have never had the time or money to go to investigate for myself.
 "I want to find a place of scenic beauty bordering or near a naviga- ble water, good range for stock, some level land not too hard to clear. firewood and building timber availa ble, and as many social ad- vantages as possible. At the same time I must earn a salary while am getting established"

The Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church held fare well reception to Mrs. o. c. Palmer at the home of Mir. and Mrs. I. c. Bjorge last Friday evening to which the husbands of the Aid members and few other intimate friends of Mir. and Mrs. Palmer were invited.
 The chief diversion of the even ing centered in a Rogues' Gallery, consisting of photographs taken during the extreme early life of a number of we'll known local men and women.
 Mrs. Patterson succeeded in guessing the identity of the great est number of the "Rogues' and was awarded pretty little Indian basket as a prize for her ability.
 Later in the evening dainty re- treatments were served at the close Of which Dr. Diven in a few ap- propriate remarks presented Mrs. Palmer with a beautiful bar pin of Alaska mastodon ivory set in Alaska gold, as token of appreciation and affestion from the members of the Ladies Aid Society. Mrs. Palmer. who has been president of the Aid for the past two years, and an act i've member for several years, re- sponded most graciously to the trib- ute given to her loyal support of the church and it's activities.

The two chil- dren were born here and from the time they were little tots have con- Iibuted much to the pleasure ot public programs and entertain ments.

WHY ALASKA PULP
 IS STAGNANT

It has been frequently suggested that the vast amount of pulp wood in Alaska might become one of the territory's chief industries the grinding of pulp and making of paper. Speaking in round figures, the United States imported last year something like $200,00O,0 ,000 worth of pulp wood, wood pulp and manufactured paper, Canada and Sweden being the chief sources of supply. Exports from the United States were negligible. Alaska has enough available spruce and other woods with clear water for mixing purposes as we'll as ample water for power to supply any number of mills for years to, come. An ex- perienced lumberman was asked the question recently as to why AL aska pulp wood could not be utiliz- ed and his explanation summed up in the briefest possible way was to the effect that it is purely an eco- homie question. To date it is found much more expedient for the manu- lecturers of paper to import the pulp from countries where there is an inexhaustible supply and capital has already invested heavily in the pulp industry. To develop the AL aska pulp would mean that capital would have to invest vast sums in that territory and then be forced to meet in competition the plants all ready established in Canada and elsewhere. It would mean an init ial investment of many millions be- fore any attempt at competition can be made, for one or two small units could not possibly survive. The cost of the wood or the extent of the standing timber nor the trans portation charges to, take Omaha as a central point, do not figure to any great extent in the question. The same is true of the mill ends which are annually consumed by thousands of cords. in the burners of Northwest lumber mills as waste. That is another economic question.
 It is true that the wood as grate fuel might be in great demand in those cities where timber supply is not at hand but then come the costs of salvaging the mill ends, loading them on railroad cars or steamships, transporting them to destination and then unloading them at a wood yard or even truck ing direct to the consumer. It is true that thousands of cords are burned each year although the To- cal population purchases large SUD- plies at for$mtoSaswheelsestcoifmn plies at from $S to $11 per load. Handling and ndtransportation charges being added the price per load in some far away place would be pro- hibitive.- Railway and Marise Nowo

CONFEDERATION CLOSES
 KENNECOTT COPPER MINES
Disastrous Blaze at Kennecott Property Cause of Shut Down.
 Word received in Wrangell on

received here several days ago which could not be verified at the time. states that the power plant of the Kennecott Copper Mines locat- ed 196 miles from Cordova, was de- stroyed by fire on August 2, the estimated loss running into hun dreds of thousands of dollars. It is estimated in Cordova that it will take approximately three months to repair the damage, and in the meantime the mines must be closed, putting between five and six hun dred men out of work for that length of time. Those left without employment were taken into Cor dova on special trains.
 The account of the fire as it ap- peared in the Cordova Times for Monday, August 4, is as follows:
 
 On Saturday afternoon between the hours of four and six o'clock a disastrous fire occurred at Kenne- colt. located 196 miles from Cor dova and the terminus of the Cop per River & Northwestern Railway. The large power house, that con- tained two large Diesel engines that had just been put in year or two ago, and other necessary equipment toe furnish the power for the mill and mines of the Kennecott Copper Corporation, took fire from some unknown cause and was burn ed to the ground. In addition an adjoining supply house and resi- dence were also burned. The we'll directed efforts of the men with hose and a good supply of water prevented the flames from spread ing to the mill, shops, offices and residences
 While the loss of immediate de- struction may amount to several hundred thousand dollars the great CT loss, both to the company and the employees, will be the tempor- ary closing down of operations, as there is not sufficient power available to run the mill or permit of drill-mining. The reports re- ceived indicate that the Diesel en- zines and generators, as we'll as other machinery, is so badly twist ed and injured as to practically put them out of commission. To rebuild the power house and receive and install new machinery may re- quire three months, during which time very little work can be pur- sued
 Some of the men will be taken care of at the Latouche mine, which is operated by the same corporation. But most of them will be tempor- arily out of employment. A train with ninety miners left Kennecott at o'clock last evening and arriv- ed in Cordova this afternoon. The next train down will bring one hum dred more men. While it is ex- pected that many of these employ ees will remain about Cordova oth- CTS will undoubtedly go Outside. It will take a couple of days before more definite facts as to damage and time required for rconstruc- tion can be given.
