WORLD WANTS MORE WOOD

An impression is widespread that the use of concrete, steel and other materials has greatly diminished the worlds demand for timber. Quite to the contrary, Axel H. Oxholm, direc- tor of the national committee on wood utilization of the department of commerce, has returned from a four months extensive tour of Europe to report that the old world is making strenuous efforts ot increase it's tim Der resources and meet the steadily growing demand for wood. Mir. 0x- holm visited Sweden, Norway, Ger many, France, Belgium and England. He studied sawmill and woodwork ing machinery in those lands, partic- ularly current methods of wood con- struction.

SEAL HERD THRIVES
Seattle Times)


 The Federal Governments report on the condition of the seal herd in the Pribilof Islands shows the eff cacy of the period of conservation with use" Although the number of pelts taken each year has steadily increased, the number of animals in the herd has multiplied five-fold since 1910, when control was given to the Bureau of Fisheries. The seal population in 1927 was S0S,S70. It is likely that this years figures will show not less than S50,O0O.
 The annual pilgrimage of the fur seals to the rocky islands in the Der ing Sea is one of the wonders of the world. For ages they have been go- ing to that particular place. It is estimated that fully S5 per cent of all the seals in the world frequent these rookeries. The Russians dis covered the Pribilof Islands and their furry inhabitants in 1786.
 When the United States bought AL aska in 1867 the number of seals was variously estimated at between 2,000, ,O00 and 5,OO0,O00. For the first few years there were no restric- tions, but to perpetuate the herd it was decided to fix the limit at 100,- 900 skins year. This arrangement might have gone on indefinitely had not seal hunters taken up the prac- tice of killing at sea. It was extreme ly wasteful in that large propor- ton of the animals was not recoV- cred and the killing was carried on with no idea of perpetuating the herd.
 In 1911 the United States, Great Britain, Japan and Russia agreed to prohibit pelagic sealing. The num- Der of seals at that time was estimat- ed at 132,0OO. The fact that it had increased 500 per cent in less than two decades encourages the hope that posterity will have Alaskan sealskin coats. The seal herd is one resource which we have not dissipated.

FUR ANIMAL BUSINESS
lJuneau Empire)

A. R. Maser, one of the largest figures of those engaged in the do- mesticated fur business, who was in Juneau last week eontemplates com ing into Alaska. He is now active in several American states, Canada, and several of the countries of Eu- rope. He is at the head of seven cor porations engaged in the various phases of the industry. They have millions invested and are finding it profitable. His companies have proved a great benefit to every place where they have become active. They operate in a scientific manner They have a staff of expert veterinary sur geons who have made careful study and have had years of experience in caring for the health of fur bearing animals, and who have learned to breed them to type and constantly to improve the type. Their product is so large that their companies have a stabilizing influence in the business. They market their product scientifi- cally as we'll as raise their stock un- der the best methods indicated by scientific knowledge.
 If MT. Maser should locate in AL aska he will establish a large experi- mental and service farm from which his operations will radiate and be of service to others engaged in fur ami nal farming. He has several such service headquarters establishments which have developed towns of con siderable importance through their payrolls and the business they cre- ate.
 MT. Maser thinks, and there are years of experience behind the belief, that the domesticated fur business will become a very big matter. It is already a large business, employing millions on millions of capital, but it will grow larger as the demand for furs increase through growing pros perity of the people and as the supply of wild fur decreases.
 The location of such an industry as that planned by MT. Maser would be of immense benefit to Juneau and develop new business and employ more people. but it would be won derfully beneficial to others engaged in fur animal culture. Anything within reason to encourage Mir. Ma ser to locate here ought to be done. He would probably invest million or more before his plans would be fully developed, and he would help to make fur animal raising a far greater industry than it now is.

George Carson, miner, whose suits against the American Smelling and Refining Company and Anaconda Copper Company for infringements of his patents covering certain smelt- ing processes attracted nationwide attention in mining circles in recent years, has been fully sustained in his claims by the refusal of the Unit ed States Supreme Court to review the decision in his favor given by the Circuit Court of appeals. according to late announcements.
