paper-making industry followed on
the perfection and general adoption
of processes of making print paper
from wood pulp. in the second half
of the nineteenth century.
BY far the greater part of the
worlds output is now made from
wood pulp. Linen and cotton rags
and flax waste and sweepings are
still used for fine papers. The
finest writing papers are made alto
gether Of linen rags for the softer
papers, new linen rags and waste
for bond paper. The best tissue
papers are made OF hemp and rag.
Wrapping papers are made OF all
kinds Of fibers-wood pulp, straw,
jute, old rope and Irvine, china
grass or ramie fiber. manila hemp
whence the name manila" paper,
and old paper. News-print papers,
in countries where wood is plenti-
full, are made from wood pulp; rags,
straw and esparto grass "a Spanish
grass largely used in England are
used elsewhere. Most book papers
are now made of wood pulp.
Featherweight papers are made of
esparto. Bamboo fiber Is an i'm.
portant new source of book paper.
Two Processes
Wood pulps are divided, according
to the processes by which they are
made, into mechanical or ground
pulps and chemical pulps, the latter
includes pulps made by the sulphite
soda and sulphate processes. The
soda process is used for poplar, bass
wood, beech and other soft, decidu-
GUS woods, while the grinding, sui
phite and suplhate processes are
used for coniferous woods. Which
ever the process, the logs usually
from trees ten to twelve inches in
diameter) are cut in two-foot lengths,
barked and trimmed to remove
knots, seams and decay.
To make ground pulp, the blocks,
placed in steel pockets against a
revolving grindstone, are held firmly
by hydraulic pressure, while water
playing on the stone carries away
the ground fiber. The pulp In the
water is then strained through vi.
brating screens to remove Jumps,
and, If necessary, bleached. In
some pulp mills the pulp is at once
made into paper; In some it is formed
into sheets for sale to the paper
makers.
To make chemical pulp, the log
sections are Clipped up, and placed
in a "digester," where they are
cooked for a number OF hours in q
chemical solution-caustio soda in
the soda process. acid sulphite of
calcium and magnesium in the sui
phite process, and sodium sulphate
(which becomes sulphite) in the sui
phate process.
There IS considerable difference in
the quality Of fiber obtained by the
different processes. Ground pulp and
soda pulp have little strength, but
are useful to supplement stronger
fibers. Sulphite pulp and sulphate
pulp, especially the latter, make
strong. tenacious paper. News.print
paper is made of a mixture Of ground
pulp and sulphite pulp.

Trade Forecasts and
Comment on Local
Market Conditions.
By RAIDER Winget

Potatoes prices probably will be
boosted as much as So on a $50 pound
bag within the next few weeks, ac-
cording to H. Click. commission
merchant. The market is flooded
with frosted and frozen potatoes and
as soon as these are absorbed the
values on good quality stuff will
jump.
Several weeks ago good potatoes
were Sc to 81 a bag, due to impass-
able roads in northern Indiana The
farmers were unable to dig potatoes
because of the frozen ground. Those
they secured could not be taken to
the market easily.
Recent warm weather, aiding
transportation, brought a flood of
damaged stuff to Indianapolis at
low prices, and potatoes in first
class condition were sold at lower
prices because of the over supply.
A Corner on the potato market
was reported recently, but e. A.
Johnston of the George Hitz Com
mission Company, completely routs
this rumor. cit is impossible to
monopolize the supply Of potatoes in
this city" says Johnston.
People in Indianapolis consume
over 100000 pounds Of potatoes
every day and 1t would be foolish
even to try to obtain room enough
to store a sufficient amount of po-
tatoes to boost prices by causing a
shortage" he declares.
1t appears that the present con-
dition OF the market is not unusu-
al. If the weather could be duph-
Gated, the same price trend would
follow as a natural sequence.
Reports indicate the clothing bust
ness in Indianapolis is In a much
better condition this year than at
the same time last year. No exact
estimates can be given because the
season is yet young.
AS an indication of the-trend of
business, a local buyer cites the
present condition Of the overcoat in
dustry. One firm in the East had
a surplus Of over 5000 overcoats
in November. 1924. These coats
were ready for delivery, but there
were no orders.
Several days ago the same firm
reported they had only 500 coats
on hand and were already work
ing on their spring orders.
Credit plans extended by several
local clothing firms have stimulated
buying. And aside from business
secured by these plans. buying for
the present season surpasses that OF
last year.
No predictions are made by man.

general opinion seems to be that the

RI PRACTICALLY any fbrous or

of the paper-mulberry was generally
used. Cotton and linen rags. cleaned,
soaked, boiled, reduced to a pulp by

FRENCH SECURITY.

With bitter opposition in England, with Italy non-committal and with the United States holding aloof, it ap- pears that the proposed treaty guar anteeing security for France against German aggression will not be signed by world powers.
 If the so-called security pact shall be ratified at all by Great Britain there will probably be numerous res ervations tackled on to the treaty as it now stands. The situation is sim- liar to that which exists in the United States with respect to the League of Nations. In fact some of the lan- guage used by opponents of the pro- position sound quite familiar.
 France, herself, has done nothing to insure the peace of the world. She has kept an immense standing army since the armistice was signed, and at the present time is endeavoring to subdue the Riffians, a liberty loving tride in Morocco. Unless she with draws her armed forces to her own land and demobilizes there is grave danger that other nations may be- come embroiled in the Moroccan af- fair. Spain is also using her troops to help subdue the Riffians under that interepid chieftain Ado del Krim, who up to the present time has met all corners with honors even.
 From this distance it appears that lack of money is all that stands in the way of further wars in Europe right now. Politically the situation is far worse than it was in the early part of 1914, with the difference that the belligerent nations are bled white of men and arms.

SEWARD TEAM TO PLAY INLETERS
 SUNDAY 1 P. M.
ARRANGEMENT COMP ETE D FOR BIGGEST GAME OF
 SEASON, SUNDAY.
TEAM HERE SATURDAY
En Route to cordova, Fast Inlet "9'' Will Show Wares Few Hours
 Prior to Departure.

Through contributions received yesterday from various business peo- pie and residents of Seward, Cap tain Rood of the Seward baseball team raised a sufficient amount of cash as a guarantee to the Anchor age champs for game in Seward Sunday afternoon The first guar antee was too much for the locals to raise for the one game and it was decided to let the opportunity to take the Anchorage team into camp, pass by the board. Upon the refusal of the locals the Inlet aces came back with the second proposi- tion which was accepted.
 Therefore, on Sunday afternoon at the one o'clock hour, the townfolk and the many tourists who will ar rive on the S.S. Yukon, will have the chance of witnessing, which in all probability, should be the fastest game of baseball this season. The local giants went at it hard and heavy last. night and practice will continue tonight, tomorrow night and Sunday morning.
 The Anchorage picked team, is probably the fastest in Alaska, so if the locals have any luck at all and can sink 'em, what a reputation they will acquire! The Inlet outfit is on the way to Cordova where three game series are to be played. These two teams have been rivals for years. The last time they met at Anchorage and the Copper City team mopped up on the Anchorage lads, three games in succession.

SEWARD'S BALL TEAM

The Seward baseball club, under able management is not lacking the stamina which goes to carry the National pastime thru the entire sea son. It has happened time and again, in almost any town in Alaska that just before the big 4th, every man that packs a hand that fits a mitt will usher himself out voluntarily 10 the ball ground and put in the regular daily dozen" in anticipation of gaining the offering on the Natal Day. Then, the day is, past and the ball season usually relegates itself sort of automatically into oblivion But, again we say that Seward citi- Zens should look with pride to the sturdy followers of the game that they have stuck with it and are still hard at it and out for any existing laurels that may be attached to their long list. The game to be played in Seward Sunday with the Anchor age lads is being bought" which goes to show the spirit in which the local players are entering the field The game should have the attend ance of every Sewardite and should be encouraged in a manner that will add longevity and not take on the old ephemeral air which so long has had the ruling hand.

GAME TONIGHT SEWARD VERSUS
 U. s. CABLESHIP

The Dellwood's team of ball tossers were out on the Seward dock this morning, warming up for tonight's baseball game with the local aggre gation. There are on board the cable ship Dellwood a number of university players who have considerable base ball ability, which will help much in the attempt this evening to smother the cocky Seward bunch, who with the exception of one game, have spear ed all the games this season, which to date are five. The game will start promptly at 6:3O o'clock and it is hoped a large crowd of fans will turn out en masse to boost the boys along and watch them strut their stuff.
