PAPER INDUSTRY OF ], $. WILL ESTABLISH
 SELF IN TERRITORY
ALASKA OFFERS EVERY NATUR- AL INDUcEMENT FOR PAPER
 PULP MANUFACTURERS
FOREST DEPARTMEMNT ACTIVE
Public Warned One Obstacle in Way of Pulp Industry is Forest Fires

That the paper industry of the United States will establish itself in Southeastern Alaska on large scale in the near future is confidently pre- dicted by Governor A. Parks and Dis trict Forester Charles H. Flory.
 The Forest Service is making ag- gressive efforts to bring one of more big pulp mills to Alaska. B. F. Heint- zleman, assistant district forester with headquarters at Juneau, is now travelling throughout the United States and Canada on a special mission, the sole purpose of which is to turn the attention of the big paper manufac- turers to Alaska.
 That the time is ripe for this move ment is indicated by the fact that the United States is dependent on the Dominion of Canada for nearly one- third of our pulpwood requirements. The great pulp and paper mills throughout the Lake states and the east are bringing the bulk of their pulpwood from Canada. It is to these interests that Alaska must appeal if it is to have a paper industry.
 Southeastern and Southwestern Al aska offers every natural inducement to the pulp and paper manufacturer. Water power, prime requisite, IS there in abundance The great spruce and hemlock forests of these sections offer a nearly unlimited supply of the best grades of pulpwood. Cheap wa ter transportation is available, eli matic conditions are favorable, and market conditions are good.
 The pulp and paper industry ranks next to lumber as forest industry. It employs 150OO0 persons and it's out
Seward daily gateway., 1926-04-28

put is valued at nearly one billion dol lars annually. More than nine-tenths of all our paper comes from wood pulp.
 As paper has become one of the indispensable commodities of civilized life it has created a new denendance on the forests. When it is consider ed how essentially paper enters into every general form of knowledge dis semination, instruction, and record, it may be said that our civilization could not be maintained without the pulp that comes from the trees.
 When the paper industry becomes established in Alaska on large scale some of the Territory's economic ills will begin to vanish. For number of years Congressman and other pub lie officials have been asking what is wrong with Alaska? Why does not the Territory advance more rapidly?"
 Numerous reasons are advanced concerning this condition, but one of the outstanding ills of the country is plainly evident, and that is seasonal work. There is not year long em- ployment to keep a large permanent population busy.
 In order to cure this ailment we should build up and utilize the re- sources of the Territory, such as min- ing, fishing, timber, etc. The more these resources are developed the farther we will go toward establish ing permanent population and accel- erating year long employment.
 Consumption of local timber will some day play an important part in the development of Alaska, and every effort should be put forth to stamp out forest fires which still annually sweep many timbered areas, destroy ing timber the Territory can ill af- ford to lose, and killing young growth that is needed to establish the for ests of the future.

State on a sort of morganatic honeymoon.
would not have enjoyed themselves quite
so much if they had known what was 20
ing on in the mind of a wife very con-
SciOus of her own wrongs, but not so con-
scious of the legal rights of Others Some
how Mrs. Farmer was informed of the
day of their return to Memphis, and went
to meet her enemy with a horSewhip in
one hand and pistol,in the other. Some
how she got into that apartment and
waited
According to the prosecution, in the
murder trial which has Just been finished,
she waited behind portiere and, when
her husband and Mary walked in, she shot
the other woman to death, firing four
times to make sure that she made a good
job of it. At the trial, DR.. Farmer, who
was now the attentive husband of old,
stood by his wife and denied seeing her
shoot. He said:
at was about o'clock in the after
noon the day we reached the outskirts of
Memphis on our return. We stopped at
rOadhOuSe to get a sandwich and drink
of whiskcy. Mary Lee telephoned to her
maid that she would be home in thirty
minutes. We resumed our journey into
the city. | was careful in driving to Mary

He shook her, so he says. Then he dis
cerned red stains on the rug. Plaster on
the wall had been shattered and a window
was broken.
The doctor rushed out, without notify
ing the police, and motored to his home at

On her return, the doctor was more atten-
tive than he had been in the last two
years. This was an important symptom
and indicated that absence, as usual, had
made the heart grow fonder. The wife
thought it was fonder of her, which was a
wrong diagnosis.
There were gossips who were waiting t9
set her right in this matter, but before
they had time the doctor suggested trip
to visit her sister in Chicago.
"You take Junior and go ahead" he
urged, with that liberal Christmas express
sion that wives like to see on their hus-
bands at such an important time of the
year, "and | will join you the day before
Christmas and We'll have regular Gule-
tide round of fun"
Mrs. Farmer went. Why shouldn't she?
1t is always nice to be going somewhere;
she really wanted to see her sister and it
pays to let husband have his. way in
unimpOrtant matters around Christmas
and birthdays. Still, some blind instinct
warned her that he was too good TO be
true. The longer she meditated the more
uneasy she became. When Christmas day
passed and no husband, she did not fear
the worst--she knew it-and took the
next train back to Memphis
One day of fast work among her friends
and she had all she needed to know and
tackled her husband. She gave him
enough facts so that he would not try to
deny it, but held back sufficient to hang
him in case he tried any alibis. But he
didn't He not only verified all she had
heard and confirmed her own suspicious,
but asserted that this was no passing in
fatuation for which he would like to be
forgiven, but divine and beautiful love
the real thing He could not live with
out his Mary Lee. The only thing, of
course, was divorce.
