TACOMA GETS POWER

Naval dignity will probably suffer from consider
able jarrnG during the next 80 days the aircraft
carrier Lexington acts as auxiliary house to the
city of Tacoma. but the citizen who foots the
navy bills will be inclined to consider the act good
job.
Suffering. from the most severe dry spell in many
years, the entire Northwest is short ratons
Germs hydro-electrc power. The city of Tacoma has
been curtailng its lights and power for more than
month past
Learning that the Lexington capable of develop
ing enough power fill the ctys needs the citizens
of Tacoma made application for its relieve the
existing shortage Many navy men, believing the navy
should be used only in actual warfare and in conduct
ing the pomp and ceremony incidental to its peacetime
existence, were Mortified at the suggestion.
Why this should be is difficult to understand.
Let crisis in any part of the world and the
United States has ALWAYS been ready to respond
1t did noble work during the great Japanese earth
quake six years and two decades ago performed
similar service during like disaster in Italy.
Tacoma facing crisis and certainly its appllca-
ton for aid should receive the same consideration as
that given to foreign nations in time of distress. For
tunatey, the secretary of the navy things in the
rioht light and Tacoma will not 30 without its cleo
trio power.
The Iexington's NAV be the precedent necessary
to give the navy something better to do in time of
peace than burning powder in saues and target prac-
tice and keeping up the gold braid traditions.

These youngsters brought up with wrong slant

ously endangers the republic and that night in Jail
Is only dong them the favor of cheap martyrdom,"
read the Presidents message to the ailers ordering

Wiser than the angered citizens the President used

Christmas candy. He took a cloth
bag with him, as he had so much
candy to buy for forty sixteen bun

At the store, which was kept by
a jolly old dog gentleman, Uncle
Wiggily bought sticks of candy, can
dy canes, lollypops, hard candy, soft
candy, chocolate candy and even
some candy animals made in red and
yellow. There were elephants of
candy, with candy trunks and candy
camels with candy humps.
"You have quite sack of sweet

The Chugach National Forest of Ala rka comprises approximately 5,00O,0OO acres on the shores of Prince will liam Sound, d portion of Renal peninsula, and the Afognak Island group
 Within the area the Bureau of Public Roads has constructed with in recent years 1l2 miles of forest highways, the principal proiect5 being the Seward -EEenai Lake High way, the Moose Pass- Hope High way, the Cordova -Eyak Highway and number of smaller projects.

 WATER POWER
 The National Forest possess an abundance of water power in units af suitable size for individual plants The best sites range from 5000 to 30,0oO horse power in capa- city and can be very economically developed for a year-round power supply. A typical power site has a high hanging lake, short dis tance inland provides excellent water storage facilitle requires short conduits to connect the lakes with power houses located at tide water, and the power can be used for paper manufacture where de- veloped so that transmission lines are unnecessary. Tn many cases power from a number of sites can be concentrated readily at one in dustrial plant, if So desired, by the use of short transmission lines. All waterpower sites are publicly toWned and can be leased under the Federal Water Power Act for 5O- year period.
 The National Forests are capable
Seward daily gateway., 1929-12-17

Of producing over 100000 tons of neWsprint paper each year in per- petuity. This amount is more than one-fourth ot the present total rel Guirements of the United States.
 Cheap and abundant power is second only in importance to the timber supply in the development of the neWsprint industry ana this exists in Alaska irt the form of water power About 33O,O0O horse power is required for an annual production of 100000 tons of paper and investigations made to date show this amount of power to be available
 ADMINISTRATION
 The National Forests of Alaska gre administrated by a branch of the Forest Service reaident in All aska. Only matters involving inn portant questions of general policy late referred to Washington, ID. C., a procedure which capacities action in dealing with the public. The chief administrative officer is the Dis trict Forester with headquarters at Juneau. Forest Supervisors in charge of each of the two Forests have offices in Cordova and Ket- Echikan respectively.

 ROADS AND TRAILS
 An extensive road and trail pro ram is in progress to make the Forests more accessible. It is fiji 5aanced from direct Federal apprQ- Ipriations for this purpose and from funds received for timber an4Aother resources, 10 percent of which un- der the law can be u ed. The roads connect isolated agricultural set < dement's, small towns and mining districts with the principal towns and the water highways The trails open up new regions for minara prospecting and other kinds of de- velopment, S3,89O,O00 has been spent for such roads and trails to June 50 1928.
 RECEIPTS, SCHOOLS, ROAHS
 Twenty five percent of Jne gIbss receipts of the National Forests from timber sales, occupancy pkr mits, etc., are turned over to Ehe Territory for schools and rodds The total amount to date is $3t5,- 496.

CHICHAC0F MAN FOUND ALMOST
 DEAD ON BOAT
Bernard Johnson Rescued by Passerby and Taken
 to Sitka Hospital

Bernard Johnson, settler at White Hot Springs, Chichagof Island, and pioneer of Southeast Alaska, was found last week in an unconscious , condition aboard his boat in the harbor there, and carried to Sitka, where he is being cared for at the Pioneers Home hospital, according to word received by Gov. George A. Parks.
 Johnson was found to have a broken leg, and was suffering from partial paralysis. He was in an al- most starved condition and his gan eral condition was aggravated by that and exposure.
 He was found by Yankee ,Tols 1s7.l who had dropped in at White Hot Springs to see him. He waj ta,zs by the former to Cnichagof and aid was rushed to him from Sitka on the Forestry boat Ranger ", nurse be ing sent to look after him. Recog- nizing his condition as serious, he was immediately rushed to Sitka and placed in the hospital. His recov- cry is regarded as doubtful
 On recovering consci1lsness after entering the hospital, Johnson said he was living in @ cabin at White Hot Springs. His leg became para lyzed. He attempted to attract at tention by firing a rifle in the hope that some one passing might hear the reports. This is the last he remembered, and occurred about the last week in October
 More than one month elapsed be- tween then and his rescue. What transpired in that period, and how and when he got aboard his boat, he said, was a mystery to him, At tendants at the hospital believe in his delirium, he crawled from his cabin to the boat. In getting aboard it, he probably fell and broke the leg, feeling no pain from the wound because of it's paralyzed state He lay there until Yankee Johnson dis covered him.
 Bernard Johnson is TO years of age. He came to Alaska in 1884 and has resided here since that time, about 45 years.
