Available Water Power

Careful and accurate survey and measurement of the available water power in Southeastern Alaska, said Mr. Heintzleman, is 450,00O horse power and of that amount some hing like 35O,OO0 horse power would be required to manufacture he million tons of paper per year.
 While there are many advantages n favor of Alaska in the matter of the manufacture of pulp and paper. the only disadvantage, ac- cording to Mir, Heintzleman is dis tance from the more important mar kets of the United States. At pres ent trainload of paper arrives in New York every day from Canada for distribution throughout the country, but the cost of production in Alaska would be so much less than that in the states and Canada that the cost of transportation would be offset even though the product of Alaska was shipped to the east coast via the Panama Canal.

Resources for
 Manufacture of
 Paper Unlimited
Available Timber in Alaska Estima. ted by Forestry Service at 80
 Billion Feet.

It was an earful of interesting and surprising information that As sistant District Forester B. F. Heintzleman gave those present at the meeting of the Juneau chamber of commerce yesterday when he told of the pulp and papar possibil- ities of Southeastern Alaska where the estimated board feet of timber lvailabe amounts to 80 billion feet.
 According to figures obtained by MT Heintzleman there are three mil lion tons of news print used an nually in the United States and, in accordance with figures also com piled by him and based on power used in manufacture and on trans portation charges, one-third of the news print consumed in the United States could be manufactured in Alaska at saving to the consul mers.
 Owing to the proximity of Alas ka timber to water transportation MT Heintzleman estimates that tim Der for the manufacture of pulp could be delivered at mills erected for that purpose for s6.50 while the average price paid by manufac- turers in the states and eastern Can ada is s16 per cord.

FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO - Superior Judge Thomas Graham has discov- cred that married folks are not go- ing up in the air as much as for merly in order to relieve themselves of their marital woes, but that the best things that air affords are com ing to them by radio, and as a re- suit divorce is being literally shat tered by bolt from the blue. There were fewer divorce suits filed this year than during any 12 months
 period in Is years, the past records
 show. And Judge Graham says that the tuning in business is bringing about married as we'll as atmos- pheric harmony. He suggests re. ceiving sets as the chief wedding gift of the future. Radio makes married folks forget that they are weary of each other, the judge said

To Visit the Trade

Mir. Heintzleman will leave here shortly after the beginning of the new year on an extended trip, the purpose of which is to sell Alaska timber to the big manufacturers of the east He will go we'll proyi- ded with statistics and will be able to impart intelligent information concerning timber, water power and other commercial and industrial possibilities in Alaska. Asked as to the nature of inducements he will be able to offer in the line of timber and water power leases, he stated that he will be able to give eminently satisfactory terms to those contemplating engaging in the pulp and paper industry; that the Forestry Department recognizes the advantage to the country at large of having the surplus timber of Alaska utilized and that liberal and advantageous inducements will be given to get the industry launched. -Stroller's Weekly.

SEATTLE John W. McCord. prominent in Alaska mining and oil activities, who recently announced his intention to adopt fifteen-year old Victoria Deschamps of Missoula, Montana, is named as defendant in a suit filed in the superior court here seeking to recover one-fourth of the profits he is said to have made on certain Alaskan oil claims The action was brought by Peter Larsen, a veteran mariner of the north who asserts that he advanced $250 as a grub-stake to McCord and two other persons in 1920. Larsen contends that under an agreement with McCord he is entitled to one fourth of the profits realized on the claims staked by the party at that time. Larsen declares that the claims were valuable, and that Me Cord sold them at big profit.

ing conditions, each year from 1919 to 1925 shows a considera ble in crease in refined copper exported to Europe over the previous year and it is the natural and logical as- sumption that this growth will con- tinue. Still the consumption of copper in Europe during 1924 was 16 per cent less than in 1913. As against this, consumption in the United States increased about 90 per cent for the same years. These figures. believe, clearly portray the large potential foreign demand. Great forward steps in the rehabili- tation of the countries in Europe must come, and with them a com mensurate increase in the consump- tion of copper. This with .he an- ticfpated steady increase in domes- tic demand, indicates brighter inn mediate prospects as we'll as future permanent prosperity of the indus try.

The remarkably large consump- tion of copper during the year 1924 and thus far in 1925 has been due largely to the great increase in the manufacture of electrical appliances and to it's increased use in the build ing trade in the form of hardware. copper roofing, gutters and leaders. and brass pipe and fittings. Large ly because of the efforts of the Cop per and Brass Research Association, the public has, to a great degree, become educated to the superiority Of and real economy in the use of copper and brass. As this know ledge becomes more general, the rap- i'd growth of the population of the country and the constant need for more and better houses will mean a greatly increased demand for con- per and brass in new construction and replacements.
 The adoption of electricity for the conservation of fuel is practically an economic necessity. Particular ly is this true in Europe where ex- tensive hydro-electric development projects are contemplated. New construction work in the United States during the past two years has been and still is proceeding at an unprecedented rate. On the con- trary, there has been comparatively little new construction in Europe and reconstruction has been ne- giected to great degree due to lack of funds. Even under prevail.

Increase in
 Mining in
 Alaska, 1925

The interior department at Wash ington, in figures submitted this week, estimated the mineral pro duction in Alaska, for the year 1925, at $17,S50,000. This shows an increase of $329,00O over the year 1924 and shows a bigger min eral production than for several years past The gold output was placed at $6,15O,OOO, compared with s6,2S5,734 for 1924. Copper showed a production gain in 1925 of s646,279 over the year 1924.
 On the whole, the condition of the mineral industry of Alaska in 1925 showed improvement over the preceding year. It is true that there was a decrease in the produc- tion of gold and coal, but these de- creases are believed have been of only temporary significance and do not at all indicate a permanent de- cline. In fact, throughout the Ter ritory there were unmistakable signs that many of the operators were putting their properties in a more efficient condition and that people with capital were seeking opportu- nifty for investment in large opera tions of stability rather than in projects that would be quickly worked out or in speculative min ing ventures. The influence of inn proved mining methods and larger scale operations have already begun to yield results at some of the mines, and further effects are to be expected in 1926, though it may be several years before all the projects now under way will be significantly reflected by a notable increase of production.
 There are still large areas in Alaska that have not been ade- quately prospected, and many prom ising properties are now lying idle. because of lack of capital for the necessary equipment The shortage of enterprising prospectors is a ser ious drawback that has resulted be- cause wages for comparable work are actually lower in Alaska than in the States, though expenses are higher. AS a result Alaska can not attract or hold the class of prospec- tors it formerly did.
 capital grows more pressing as more extensive equipment becomes es- sential. Capital, however, will not be attracted to Alaska unless the extremely high prices now asked fol relatively little-developed prospects. are materially abated.

WARM DEMOCRATIC
SCANDAL PROMISED
Advertising Agency Head
Says Suit Will Reveal Things
of "IntereSt to Borah."
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 28.-L. A. Van
Patten, whose advertising agency is in
volved in a wrangle with the Demo-
cratic national committee over an ad-
vertising deal during the presidential
campaign last year, promises that fire
works will be produced at the trial Of
suits filed yesterday by both sides.
The Borah committee investigating
campaign expenditures will be interest
ed more than little in this suit" said
Mr.. Van Patten. He added that trial OF
the cases would "shed great light on the
reasons why John w. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate, and Charles w.
Bryan, vice presidential candidate, suf-
fered such a crushing defeat in the cleo
tion last Fall"
Ask. for Accounting.
The Democratic national committee
filed suit TO compel Van Patten, Inc, to
account for a $4,000 cash advance for
campaign advertising last Fall, and to
return any amounts due. Van Patten,
Inc, countered with a suit for sS4, ,220,
claiming the agency spent S9,220 above
the original $4,000 and lost additional
money as commission on a 100000
contract, of which the committee ex-
pended only about 100000.
After two unsuccessful conferences
in an attempt to negotiate a settlement,
subpoenas and notices to appear for ex-
animation before trial April were is
sued against Clem l.. Shaver, Demo-
cratic national chairman, and George
White.
Denies Discord Rumor.

Mr.. Jones was a McAdGo supporter.
Mr.. Shaver said is sfhntly a suit
for the adjustment of q clain that is in
dispute. The Van Patten sust is simply
a backfire set against ours.1
The chairman added that the intima-
ton of Mr.. Van Patten that the case
would bring out into the open rumored
charges of discord in the Democratic
ranks had no basis in fact
