BRUNO GRIEF PASSES AWAY
 IN TACOMA

L. NJ. Churchill on Monday re- leiyed a cablegram announcing the ,eath of Bruno Greif in Tacoma last
 .aday.
 The local Redmen lodge at once cabled to the Redmen's lodge at Ia coma to ship the remains to Wran- gell for interment. The body will arrive on the Queen. The time of the funeral will be announced after the arrival of the boat.
 Bruno Greif was born 7S years ago in Saxony, Germany. He was d widely travelled man, and a brewer by occupation. He was located for a time in Juneau in the early days of that city. In February, 1896, he came to Wrangell and entered the brewery business here. He remain ed in Wrangell for 14 years until 1910, when his physician recom- nlended a change of climate.
 During the time that MT. Greif vas resident of Wrangell he took a lively interest in the civic and fraternal affairs of the community. He was a big hearted generous man who was always ready to lend a helping hand, or to show his sym pathy in a substantial way.
 Mir. Greif was an enthusiastic member of the Redmen's lodge. In 1904 he built the Redmen's Hall of Wrangell and stipulated in his will that if the Wrangell Redmens lodge was still in existence at the time of his death that the hall would then become the property of the lodge.
 Photographic advices from Tacoma since MT. Greif's death state that another paragraph in the will reads as follows:
 II request that upon my death
 the Redmen of Tacoma take
 charge of my remains; that they
 notify Stikine Tribe No. 5, Im-
 proved Order of Redmen, of
 Wrangell, Alaska, of my decease
 and await orders as to disposi-
 tion of my body"

Sixteen Leave Wrangell
 For New Gold Diggings
 On Eagle Creek in Cassiar

Grant, George R. Sylvester, Carl Carlson, James McGlinn, William H. Bitters, George Drapish, Jess Palt- ter, L.. H. Bar, Sam Brown, Charles
 son, and Fred Loodecker.
 More than half the party are ex- perienced miners who will get quickly to bedrock if weather per mits and determine to some extent the value of the strike.
 The general belief here is that the Eagle Creek strike is going to prove to be the most important thing in mining that has ever hap pened in the Cassiar. There are a number of citizens who will leave here next week for the diggings without waiting for news from those already on the creek.

Future Timber
 Supply for Paper
 Industry Is Studied

Written for the Wrangell SentineD
 The United States now uses about s,000,000 tons of paper year, consumption greater than that of all other countries combined, &C., cording to bulletin on the pulp wood situation recently prepared by the Forest Service, U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Also, our yearly consumption of paper is rap idly increasing and the Government experts estimate that by 1850 it will have reached the enormous yearly total of 1872 million tons. The rapidly decreasing timber sup ply of the United States leads to the question of how this increased de. mand is going to be met. Less than half of the present paper require ments of the country are supplied by forests within the United States, and the desirability of being inde- pendent of foreign countries for such an. essential commodity as pa per should lead, if possible, to re- duction rather than an increase in our imports of paper. The consump- tion of paper is increasing in the other countries of the world as we'll as in the United States and greater dependence on foreign paper is very likely to lead to restrictions in our supply due to competition.
 The pulpwood problem of the country can be solved by working along three lines, states the report; the forest lands of the United States. Our timber is being cut four times as rapidly as it is replaced by growth, due to lack of interest in getting a second crop of trees on cut-over land and to the devastating effect of forest fires. Millions of acres, which formerly carried heavy stands of timber, are now producing nothing. Second, manufacturing wastes must be reduced and new methods must be developed that will permit the use of more species of trees for paper making. Spruce. hemlock and white fir now supply the bulk of the wood fiber used in our paper mills. Third, the pulp and paper industry must be extend ed to new regions having timber suitable for paper making.
 Alaska Can Relieve Situation
 The report gives much consider ation to Alaska in analysing the pulpwood situation and shows clearly that the coast forests of the Territory must take prominent place among the paper producing regions. It says in part:
 Alaska is one of the two out standing regions with large virgin supplies of softwoods adapted to sulphite and mechanical pulp. As compared with the Pacific Coast States. Alaska has the advantage oi

NEW GRADING SYSTEM
 BEING INTRODUCED
 IN WRANGELL SCHOOLS

The old system of giving exami- nations and grading papers under which itwas possible to earn agrade on mere popularity, or where the mood that teacher happened to be in had more to do with the grade than the actual work accomplished, has been discarded in the Wrangell schools. The new system which was put into operation with the begin ming of the present school year makes it possible to have uniform grading throughout the entire sys- tenn regardless of whether some teachers may give hard examina- tions and others easy examinations Neither is there any possibility of favoritism being shown in the marking of papers as was almost in- evitable under the old essay type of examination.
 The new system provides that ex aminations be given in such form that each question or statement on the examination sheet may be ans wered by a single word The result is that it will be either right or wrong. An examination will con sist of great many of these ques- tions, statements, or sentences to be completed. Instead of marking with percentage mark the paper will bear a figure which merely indi- cates the number of correct ans wers. The paper receiving the high est number in the class will receive a grade of excellent or "A", and the one receiving the lowest number will receive a grade of failure if it is less than half as large as the number on the best paper. The numbers ranging between the high est and lowest will be assigned pro- portional grades. This method makes it possible to do impartial justice to all and is endorsed by the leading educators of the country. To illustrate the method, suppose that a test of sixty questions was given a class of thirty-five pupils and the best pupil in the class ans wered fifty of them correctly and the poorest pupil answered only nineteen. Then suppose that four grades. "A", "B", "C", and ID" are given above a failure and that ''F'' indicates failure. The person who answered fifty questions correctly would receive a grade of "A" and the one who answered only nine teen, because nineteen is less than one-half of fifty would receive a grade of "F'. The marks between 25 and 50 would then be divided in to four equal sections and the grades of "A", "B', "C", and ID" assigned to them.

ka has frequently been described as a second Norway in it's possibilities for pulp and paper making. Yet the Norwegian industry consumes only about one million cords a year and that only by overcutting. Swed- ish consumption has reached about three million cords.
 The pulp and paper industry can not, however, depend upon timber supplies alone. Abundant and cheap water power is equally essential, es- pecially in the manufacture of me chanical pulp. It will require not to exceed 5OO,OOO horse power of continuously available power to convert two million cords of pulr wood a year. Four hundred thou sard horse power is already known to be available in Southeastern Al aska, 325,0O0 horse power of this in sites or groups of 5000 horse power or more than can be developed eco nomically for pulp manufacture.
 "To conditions favorable to the development of pulp and paper in dustry must be added suitable mill locations and deep-sea transporta- tion. Mills can be located within easy and cheap towing distances from adequate timber supplies Sheltered channels afford year long deep-sea transportation.
 Capital moves slowly into new regions, and this is especially true in industries, such as pulp and pa per manufacture, requiring large initial investments American cap- ital has gone to the eastern Canadi- an forests, which are nearer to American centers of consumption and in which conditions are more comparable with those in the Northeastern and Lake States. Al aska has seemed very remote, and until recent years there has been an absence of the detailed, authorita- tive data necessary to secure real interest on the part of capital. Ocean freights, with relatively small volume of traffic, have been high. Alaskan timbers are suitable for newsprint production, and until the war newsprint prices particu- larly were relatively low.
 Neither time nor the funds available have permitted an attempt to secure exact data on the possibil- ity of successful competition of All aska in eastern pulp and paper mer- kets with Canada, or even with American mills. A few significant facts, however, will be given. Aver age prices by American mills for imported spruce were $27.9S per cord in 1921 and $24S7 per cord in 1922. Since these were average prices, many mills must have paid more In one large pulp unit on the Tongass National Forest, the tim Der on which was recently sold, il was estimated that, exclusive of a purely nominal figure for stumpage the cost of pulp wood at the mill from the more accessible timber or the area would not exceed $5.50 per cord. These estimates are based or 1928 wage scales and mill costs They leave a large margin for the payment of freight from Alaska tC eastern markets, as compared witf spruce-pulp-wood prices of 1921, ol even 1922. This is particularly true if the concern which under takes a pulp and paper development finances it's own system of ocear transportation"

practically pure StandS or these Spe- cies of pulp timber, lower stump age prices, and cheaper power. It has the disadvantage of being con- siderably farther from the large pa per markets. Ordinarily the pulp and paper industry has followed numbering, and has either had to displace the sawmill through com petition or to take the material which the sawmill left. In Alaska. however, cutting operations for lumber and other purposes are small, so that in this respect there would be a greater opportunity for the development of dominant pulp and paper industry than in the Pa cific Coast States.
 "Sixty-five per cent of the 80 billion board feet, of timber avail able on the coast of Southern Alas ka consists of western hemlock, al ready proven by actual use to be a
 satisfactory sulphite-pulp-wood spe- cies; and an additiinal 20 per cent or more consists of Sitka spruce. comparable in its properties for both mechanical and sulphite pulp with the various spruces of the east ern United States and Canada. While these species are suitable for construction and box material, gen. eral lumber requirements, and simi- lar purposes, and are being so used in increasing quantities, the gener- al belief of those most familiar with the Alaskan forests is that their great future use will be for pulp and paper This is especially true of the Tongass National Forest, in Southeastern Alaska which contains more than seven-eighths of the to- tai stand.
 "These Alaskan Forests unques- tionably contain 100 millions cords available for pulp wood, and prob ably even a larger amount. The es- inmates are based upon intensive cruises covering nearly 600,000 acres, and on a general knowledge of the remainder of the area. The | surveys have disclosed stands run ming as high as 200 cords to the acre. An average stand of nearly 40 cords to the acre was found on one large pulp and paper tract.
 "The pulp and paper industry can no longer afford to locate in new regions on the basis of existing stands of timber alone. It must inquire also into the productive ca pacity of the soil and timber species which can be grown. The Alaskan forests will easily produce two mil lion cords of pulp timber each year From the standpoint of permanent supplies. it will be safe, in the judg. ment of the best informed foresters to develop in the immediate future a pulp and paper industry up to these requirements.
 "The production of the Alaskan
 forests is more than twice enough to make up the s00,000 to 300, ,00( cords of spruce-pulp-wood import.
 from Canada. The total cut O
 spruce and fir for Canadian mill
 was 2,660,611 cords in 1922. Alas

Michael Moran AccldentallyShot
 On West Coast

Michael Thomas Moran, aged 23 years, was accidentally killed at U cock Sunaay afternoon while duck hunting near the old Mission quarry on the west coast of Prince oi Wales Island.
 Moran left Tokeen early Surday afternoon in company with W. E. Fraser on the latters gasboat 10T. When near the old Mission quarry an anchor was dropped. The men intended to go in a skiff to place where they expected to find ducks. Fraser was in the act of shutting off the engine when he heard the gun discharged. He heard Moran fall and upon turning around saw him about to fall over board. Fraser grabbed hold of Mo rams feet and kept him from going overboard An examination of the body showed that the full charge of the gun had entered Morans left breast and had ranged upward tearing his heart to pieces.
 It is supposed that while Fraser was shutting off the engine Moran reached out and took hold of the gun by the muzzle and drew 1t to- ward himself with the intention of transferring it from the gas boat to the skiff The gun was a 16-gauge single barreled shotgun, but any one seeing the wound would sup pose it to have been made by a To- guage gun. The gun fell overheard when it was discharged and was nos recovered.
 Fraser took the body to Tokeen, and there it was transferred to the Vermont and brought to Wrangell. The tragedy was reported to U. s. Commissioner Wm. G. Thomas who immediately summoned coroner's jury.
 After an hour of official inyesti- gation the jury were of the unani- nous opinion that death had been caused by an accident and that no one was in any way to blame. Ed die Moran, a brother of the de- ceased, was present at the official
 ..,estigation. When asked for his opinion he unhesitatingly stated that he believed the death was due to accident. The jury then rendered a verdict attributing the death to accident.
 Rev. Father Van der Pol was aboard the Alaska which was in port Monday afternoon. While the vessel was in port he blessed the body. The funeral occurred Tues day afternoon, being conducted in the Catholic church by P. c. Mo Cormack, layman. The casket rest ed beneath a wealth of floral offer ings. The pail bearers were select ed from the friends and associates of the deceased.
 Scarcely had the sorrowing friends returned from the cemetery when cablegram was received from the mother of the unfortunate young man requesting that the body be brought home for interment The body was exhumed on Wednes- day and will be taken south on the Admiral Rogers to Seattle and from thence to Rutland, Vermont, The body will be accompanied by Eddie Moran.
 Michael Moran is survived by his mother, two brothers and sis ter. The mother and sister reside in Vermont. One brother is located in Boston. Eddie Moran, the oldest brother, is connected with the To- keen, Alaska, branch of the Ver- mont Marble Company.
