to offset production losses due to timber de-
pletion around old plants the industry has
reached farther and farther af1eld from the
great consuming center represented by the EAST
ern United States The virgin forests capable
of supplying the spruce, hemlock and true mrs
so essential for the mechanical and sulphlte
pulp used in newsprint have long since been
followed across the border into Eastern Canada.
and this migration has now reached the stage
where the greater part of the newsprint re-
quiremsnts Of the United States are supplied
by Canadian mills.
This expansion of the industry into the re-
gion next in accessibility to the large markets
though on foreign soil was logical develop
ment. But the projects of outstanding merit
in Eastern Canada have now largely been taken
up. Those remaining apparently possess no adj
vantages for supplying paper to the Eastern
markets that cannot be offset by other advan-
tages enjoyed by plants operating in Alaska
and shipping on relatively cheap per ton-mtle
rate by vessel through the Panama Canal"
How vast the news paper industry has be-
come in the United States and how steady its
growth in the last few years is indicated by
the following figures:
The average daily circulation of morning and
evening papers is now 1896, 756 copies and the
Sunday circulation is 25.469037. This repre-
sents q gain I'M the last six years of 49.3 per
cent in the morning paper field, 1913 per cent
in evening paper circulation and 33.2 per cent
in Sunday circulation.
AS these gains continue and as the demands
for newsprint which is now being used in in
creaSing amounts for other purposes such as
catalogues, telephone directories railway guides.
school tablets, scratch pads, handbills wrapping
paper. etc, will be greater from year to year.
new sources of supply must be developed to
maintain normal prices in view of future needs.

Imprisoned BY Sn07O Crust.

SHOWS followed by heavy crust such as
visited Washington during Christmas
week make plenty of fun for the youngsters,
but they play havoc with the grouse or part
ridge. as it is called in the Northeastern Sec
ton of the country.
During heavy SHOWS the partridge beds down
in the snow for warmth and allows the de-
scending blanket of white to cover it COM
pletely. When the birds are buried beneath
the flakes the severe weather does them no
harm. for they are snug and warm. When a
rain follows, however, with immediate freez-
Ing the crust formed over the snow is too
strong for them to break through and many
perish.
series of such SHOWS during the course of
Winter will so deplete the grouse in given
section that, the following Fall, hunters find
the birds few and far between. It takes sew
eral seasons for them again to appear in any
quantity, for the natural enemies Of the
grouse, the fox, the owl and other predatory
birds and animals. along with the hunter ac-

A FURTHER important advantage to the es-
tablishment of the newsprnt industry in
this section which the Forest Service points out
the excellent transportation facilities. The
Alaska Steamship Co. and the Pacific Steam
ship Co. provide year-round transportation be-
tween Seattle and all ports in Southeastern
Alaska, operating combined passenger and
freight vessels. well many strictly cargo
carriers. The Canadian Pacific and Canadian
National Railroads operate four to six vessels
from Vancouver British Columbia, in the pas
senger trade of this region during the Summer
months and one boat in Winter. The average
interval between arrivals from the south of
passenger vessels at Southeastern Alaska ports
is one day from June to September and three
days during the remainder Of the year.
The network of protected sea channels in this
region is admirably suited to the use of small
motor driven boats The various centers of
population are connected by ccmmon-carrier
boats of this type. and all industrial enterprises
make of motor driven workboats. AS this
network of sea channels extends south to Puget
Sound. small tugs with barges and fiat scows
are used extensively to transport products to
and from Seattle.

eellent opportunity to operate a railroad-car

OXFORD THEATRE
TAKES FRONT RANK
Manager c. G. Mullen Will In
stall RCA Talking Machine
in Very Short Time
LAST WORD In TALKIES
Bigger and Better Theatres of
Country Have, or Will In
stall the RCA

Manager Mullen of the Oxford
theatre, announced that he has
concluded negotiations with the
RCA Photophone, Inc, New York
City, for the installation of its
sound reproducing equipment in
his theatre. In making the an
nouncement Mr.. Mullen said that
the equipment had been shipped
from New York and that installa-
ton engineers would arrive within
a short time.
"It is with a great deal of salts
faction that 1 make this announce
ment" said Mr.. Mullen. Having
had many opportunities to see var
ious types of sound reproducing
equipment in operation in various
theatres, it did not take me long
to come to a decision when I saw
and heard the RCA Photophone
projection apparatus in operation.
In my opinion having made COM
parisons with other sound repro
ducing equipment, it is the best.
The invasion of sound into the mo-
tion picture industry presented a
great problem to the exhibitor and
particularly to the small town the
atre> owner. Coming as it did, al
most over night there Immediately
followed a wide variety of So
called sound projection apparatus,
and while many exhibitors, in the
effort to meet the competition, in
stalled models of the first equip
ment they could acquire, I made
up my mind to await development
dependent solely upon those
who have so literally patronizeo
my theatre in the past, I felt OBJ
ligated to give them the best sound
reproducing equipment available
Therefore, investigated a number
of theatres where various types of
sound projection apparatus had
been installed and not only heard
the sound delivered by them but
carefully inspected the machines in
the projection rooms,
when I learned that RCA Pho,
tophone, Inc, was a subsidiary OF
the Radio Corporation of America
and that it's own engineers along
with engineers of the General Flec,
trio Company and the sWesting.
house Electric and Manufacturing
Company, had built the sound
equipment, became convinced
that it was the apparatus for my
threatre. Having satisfied myself
on this point, which, in passing
was the most difficult problem ]
ever had to solve, hope the pat,
rons of the Oxford theatre, and in
fact everybody in this community
will endorse my judgment"
Manager Mullen saaid he hoped
he would be able to make the an
nouncefhent of his opening date OF
the RCA machine in the Herald OF
next week.
RCA Photophone sound repro.
ducing equipment is installed in
many of the largest motion picture
theatres in the United States

Northwest Farmers Urged
To Increase Flax Acreage
Returns Higher Net Profit Than
Spring Wheat or Oats, A. C.
Army Says

st. Paul, Feb. 1O-Wide interest
has been aroused throughout the
northwest in proposals to extend
flax acreage this spring, according
to A. c. Army, agronomist of the
Minnesota Experimental Station
University Farm, who today urged
farmers who are planning to en-
large their acreage to make sure oi
their supplies of seed for plant
ing at an early date.
In order to guard against losses
by wilt, Mr.. Army further advised
that farmers try to secure wilt re-
sistant varieties, such as Buda and
Bison. These, he said, are avail
able in quantity and should be Civ
en- the preference. The Minnesota
Experiment Station has developed
a wilt resistant variety known as
Red Wing but only a limited supply
of this flax is available.
Three other varieties, Iinota,
Chippewa, and N. D. r. la are not
so desirable as Buda and Bison but
they are wilt resistant and may be
relied upon. a greater extent than
known varieties brought n from
the outside.
Seed lists giving the names of
growers of approved varieties who
have seed for sale may be obtain
ed from the Minnesota Agricultur-
al Station University Farm st.
Paul and the North Dakota Sta
ton at Fargo he said.
Mr.. Army declared that fax
growing in Minnesota for several
years has returned a higher net
profit than either spring wheat or
oats and that the flax outlook con-
tinues good.
