Expansion of Pulp Mills

The following excerpt from the
 pen of John K. Trowbridge, in The Portland Oregonian tells of expansion of the paper indus try of the Northwest, but We fail to find any mention of pulp ex- pansion in Alaska.
 Things seem to be looking up in the northwest pulp and pa per industry, and if expansions and new construction continue at their present rate it promises to become one of the most im- portant manufacturing enterpris es in this part of the country. Financial news of the past week has carried several announce ments of important plant ex- pansions. x x It is expected that contract will be awarded this month for construction of bleach plant on the Camas property of Crown Willamette as the first major step in a $4,- 100000 expansion program on which preliminary operations were started in July.
 Arrangements have been completed for financing and early construction of a plant for the Willapa Pulp & Paper Co.,, between Raymond and South Bend.
 Financing details also have been completed for the new Pu- get Sound Pulp Timber Co.,, which will build a $3,500,00O plant at Everett, Wash, with a daily capacity of 150 tons of bleached sulphlte pulp.
 Pacific Mills, Ocean Falls also plans expenditure of approxi- mately $1,5O0,OO0 at their plant.

SPIRIT OF THE COMPANY

The attitude and spirit of the sebastian-Stuart Company is typical of the high handedness of these concerns which have use for Alaska so long as they can skim the cream. It is we'll to remember their action against the Lincoln Rock for a sum less than $500.
 This same concern purchased 2 raft of piling from local log ger. They used all of the piling and then paid for only part de- claring that it was not fit for any purpose. The amount in volved exceeds $500. When the logger takes action to recover what is due him, this Cream Skinner will become real sore and declare that Alaskans are trying to chase them out of the country.

DEAL OF MONEY

Superior Judge J. M. Phillips, in a memorandum decision handed down recently, set $51O,- GOO as present fair market value for the Hoquiam water system and thereby ended as far as his court was concerned the con- demnation suit of the City of Hoquiam against the water ser vice company. The price in cludes the physical plant and property rights and franchises.
 The city placed a valuation Of $394,000 and by the owners at $800,000. Cost of the case was nearly $250,0OO for attorneyes fees, experts fees and court costs.

Family Left On
 Beach for Debt

Last week the gasboat Lincoln
 Rock of Wrangell came in for
 grub and before it left port was libeled by the Sebastia- -Staurt Company. Those who came in
 on her were unable to meet the claims and only enough money
 to stay in port a few days and unable to hire one to bring one George White, wife and two children to town.
 Wednesday, John Roach com ing by Kasheets Bay was hailed by White who asked for a little grub as they were just about out of food supply; Roach gave all he could spare, which was lit tie enough and came to town in his little boat.
 This office took the matter up with the United States Commis- Sioner c. Clausen and suggest ed that he use federal forces to bring the shanghaied family to town. He declared there was he could do and put it up to us to assume the reSpons- ibility. When we refused, de- claring that duty within the province of the government of flcers, he got real peeved and told us to Ego to he'll" We pass ed the invitation back and was threatened by MT. Clausen for SO doing when the court was not in session.
 For attempting to do a kind ly human act, we are kicked in the pants, the man and his wife with two children damned to starvation on the beach, and the dignity of the court upheld.

Timber Grab Feared

In a letter to a conference of Western governors, President Hoover stated that he might propose to Congress the restor- ation of 200, 100000 acres of pub lie lands now administered by the federal government to state control.
 His proposal bade fair to op- en the muchly argued conser- Vation question. It received such opposition from conserva- tion1sts, however, that President Hoover later intimated that his proposal was not understood.
 Some students of the subject, as it relates to Alaska, declare that consummation of this pro- posal will mean the stealing of all timber and water rights in the Territory Some even go further and declare that such scheme will be conSummated in a few months.

Where Utility Profits Go

The St. Louis "Post-Dispatch' has printed a diagram which helps one to understand how utility magnates get rich. Il shows the actual investment in the local street car company's property and how the profits are distributed.
 The bond holders furnished STATEHOOD, or 49 per cent of the total investment, and received last year $1,O29,65O, or 29 per cent of the profits.
 The holders of common stock furnished $4,3O4,OOO, or less than 9 per cent of the total invest ment, and received last year $1,- 138,968, or B per cent of the net earnings.
 The bondholders got Az per cent on their money.
 The holders of the common stock got 26 per cent on their money.
 But these stockholders, who of course have absolute control of the corporation, are not content bith beggarly 26 per cent re- turn on their cash. They are trying to get 10-cent cash fare. : No bondholder, no holder of loaned money to the company on short-term notes, would get 8 penny out of this increased income.
 The mon stockholders get it all, and the estimate is that it would give them .52 per cent per year on their invest ment!
 How do utility magnates get rich? By "blackjacking" the public with some aid from public service commis- sions and the enthusiastic sup oort and assistance of the courts.

WRANGELL GETS INDUSTRIAL

Word was received from Wrangell Wednesday evening to the, effect that Secretary of In- teriOr Wilbur had selected the Shoemaker Bay, WrangelD site for the proposed industrial school for Indian children.
 The big talking point, which had considerable to do with the selection was the friendly atti- tude of the people of that town as a whole; that they willingly accept any and all Indian chill dren into their school systems; that their hospital facilities were at the disposal of the Bu- reau.
 Initial appropriation for the school is $283,O0O for thirteen building units. It is expected that appropriations will be se- cured from time to time until the school is able to accommo- date 500 pupils.

Miss Marye Burns
 Gives Fine Concert

From the sparkling .tnd rip bling cadenzas of the POlonaiSe from Mignon to the sweet, ap- pealing melody of the we'll known Irish folk song The Last Rose of Summer, the concert given last Monday evening at the MacGregor Theatre by Miss Marye Burns, one of Alaska s own products, was most enjoy able.
 Miss Burns is the possessor of a clear and sweet coloratura voice. Her upper tones are of an unusual quality with caden- ga and trills produced with ease and relaxation. Her middle tones were clear, round and full making a fine balance in the rendition of her songs,
 Miss Burns is a real artist in the interpretation of her songs and each number showed with much feeling, joy, sadness, pa thos or gaitey as the moods of the respective songs demanded.
 Miss Burns is returning to New York to her professional duties. Many who heard her are importuning her for a re- turn engagement next summer. Mrs. Fern Vance of Juneau, was Miss Burns accompanyist, and will continue to New York with her. Mrs. Vance plans to study music while there.

tracks, one of the most congested
crossings in the States was worse
than usual yesterday. A wrecked
freight train on the main line of
the Pennsylvania, between Wash.

the routing of the Pennsylvania
trains over the B. and o. lines.
This action resulted in nearly

Town and county police aided in
keeping traffic in line.
Automobiles waiting to make the
