MILO KELLY TAKING
 B|RCHWO0D ID STATES
TAKES SOUTH A CARLOAD OF BIRcHWooD LOGS FOR DEM
 DISSIPATION PURPOSES

Milo Kelly, accompanied by Albert Johnson, passed through Seward Sat- urday night en route to Seattle, talk ing with him a carload of birch logs for demonstration purposes with a view to ultimately developing the birchwood industry of Alaska. MT. Kelly's trip was for the purpose of making personal selection of the grade of timber required by furniture manufacturers in the Pacific Coast States, and believes the consignment going south will have the effect of enlisting sufficient capital with which to develop his 25,OOO acres of timber across Knik Arm from Anchorage.
 In addition to birchwood, MT. Kelly is taking out several specimens of cottonwood lumber now being utilized in car paneling by The Alaska Rail- oad which, it is believed will go far toward attracting the attention of cap- ital to this wood, both for boxes, dres- ser drawers and veneer work.
 While MT. Kelly is interested in birchwood,, he advises that attention will be given to the acquisition of areas of cottonwood, as he believes the day is not far distant when the pulp men will flock to Alaska to se- cure fibre suitable for the manufac- ture of the higher grades of paper.

The battle for control Of The

spauperism " Of both major
parties.
Wkh the country teeming with
prosperity, business good, and

Congress that has cut taxes and
ehied away from regulatory legis-
lati0n, the fact remained today
that both the Republican and
Democratic organizations in this
campaign are almost BROKE and
bid fair 20 remain that way.
Sworn reports filed to date with
the clerk OF the House from the
Republican and Democratic COM
mitees reveal that all the campaign
organizatioist figuring in this Off
year election win not spend az
much as was spent IN the Pennsyl-
Fania Senatorial primary alone-or
anything like It.
For example, the Republican Ma

the Republican Senatorial Commit
tee, which has multi-miIl Ilionaire
chairman in Senator Lawrence G.
