newsprint mill we have to offer sales of pulpwood sufficient to car " plant of 500 tons dally capacity for as long a period as 50 years NM this we have to compete with east- ern Canada where there has been a very great development of the news print industry in recent years to supply the United States market and where they offer much great CT supply of wood than we arg now offering. When we started trying Ito induce paper mills tO come into Alaska about five years ago We thOt that a 3O-year supply of wood under contract would interest them but we had to increase the supply I'll order to have the manufacturers
 give us consideration along with
 Canada. But in granting this long
 term supply of wood we reserve the
 right to increase the stumpaga rates
 on the timber at the end of the first no years and at the end of each tive
 year period thereafter. As you know
 the stumpage is paid to tie govern
 ment as the cutting process thru
 out the years covered by the con- tract.
Seward daily gateway., 1930-01-10
COMPACT UNITS

W
 in granting these large sales of timber the areas to be covered by the contract will consist of few compact units as these will cause a less amount of interference with other interests than if the sales were made up of dozens of small patches scattered over the country. Also, the paper mills are simply given cutting rights on their con- tract areas and have no control lover the use of the land. Tracts valuable for homesteads, mines, in dustrial plants, reridences, etc., can tbe taken up by the public on such lands the same as ii the large tim Der sale had not been made. In addition the pulp timber contracts provide that we can sell small quantities of timber to others from these areas to supply local needs.
 SPECIFY DEVELOPMENT
 Large concerns cannot purchase large tracts of Alaska timber and hold them indefinitely without de- velopment. The contracts specify that the necessary timber cruising and other investigations shall be lcarried on in the first three years after they are awarded the timber and that by the end Of five years the mill shall have been built and that start be made i'd actual paper production. The licenses under which the concerns take up water power are made to agree with the timber sale contracts so that they also cannot hold power sites without developing them. Failure to develop the power and produce paper in the time allowed subject the contract to cancella- tion.
 LOGGING BY CONTRACT
 "The pulp timber contracts allow the paper mills to purchase one third of their wood supply each wear from outside parties rather than take aIl of it from their own contract areas. The purpose of this is to give the paper mills VI chance to buy from outside loggers who will buy stnmpage from the government on their own account. and then sell their saWlogs Uo the saWmills, their piling to the can- Ineries and the poorer material that ' is left to the paper mills. Ut IS likely too, that practically all logging on the paper mills areas will be done by contract rather than by the company itself as this is the general practice in other paper making rel gions. look. therefore, for s vely great increase i'd the number of small logging outfits in Alaska as soon as the paper industry starts TWO AWARDS MADE
 We have made two awards of timber and water power for paper mill use. Each covers 5000, 900 900 board feet of timber to De cut-over a period of 50 years after allowing five years at the start to get the plant in operation. The date by which the plant, in each case, must be brought into production is 1882. The plant on that date must be ca pable of making not less than POO tons of newsprint paper pei day and the contract provides that this capacity must be doubled within the first 10 years of operation. If the plant is not installed by 1852 the timber and water power awards will be cancelled, and if not doubled by 1922 the amount of timber and water power held will be reduced.
 These two plants will have Al total of lOOOO,OOO,OO0 feet of timber under contract and perhaos lJO,0OG horse power of water power. As

CHEAP LOGGING, POWER

Alaska has a disadvantage to the establishment of paper mills in that we are located so far from the large markets and, of course, the freight is a big item on a cheap
 bulky commodity like neWsprint. But We have the advantage Of cheap logging costs and cheap pow
 Ter which helps to offset the heavy
 freight costs. Tn one other import ant matter we are as we'll off as Canada. There the forests are
 publicly rather than privately own- ed so that it IS possible for the
 paper companies to get long terr awards of timber from the goyerr- Iment and pay for the timber only as it is cut As the timber in Alas
 ka is also publicly owned we can of fer the companies much the same kind of a contract, in fact, we could lnot get them into Alaska on any Eother basis than that of contracting for large supply Of timber and paying a stumpage charge as it is Icut for they would go to Canada in- stead It is impossible fo- 2 large (Continued on Page Six)

valuable for pulp rather than lum- Der. We, therefore, are trying to encourage the building of paper mills on these forests, and eSpec- ially mills making neWsprint paper as our timber, water power, water transportation etc, make & more attractive "set-up" for newsprint plants than for any other grade of paper Also, newsprint mills will require such huge investments that they can be regarded as permanent when once established and, in addi- tion, they are extensive employers of labor and these two factors permanent investments and large labor employers seem to me to be what the Territory is especially in need of.
 EXCELLENT SAWTIMBER
 However, our forests have con- siderable quantity in the aggregate of good sawtimber suitable for saw mills and in addition timber is ab solutely required for other uses such as piling, mine timbers, railroad ties, etc. We cannot, therefore, hold up all of our timber for sale to the paper mills but must have an assured supply available for pur- chase by saWmills, canneries, mines and the public generally You will notice from the mimeOgraphed statement that we have definitely provided for such purposes by set ting aside local use areas in which we will grant no large pulpwood sales and they are to be located where the timber is best suited for the purpose intended and where it is readily accessible.

the National Forests of Alaska have at least 0O,OOO,OOO board feet of timber and between 5U0G00 and 100000 horse power of undeveloped water power it will be seen that granting these projects will not cause a monopoly. Much room is available for additional plants, while saWmills, piling dealers, can neries, mines and other industries have been very little restricted in
 their source of timber supply and
 their chances to develop water

NAL program.
The collection of baskets and leath-
err goods secured from the Veterans
hospital at Walla Walla will be on
display all afternoon, all the articles
being offered for sale. These sales
are without profit to the club, which
takes this method of assisting the
veterans. Baskets of all kinds, and,
in leather goods, bill folds, purses
and key cases, all the hand work of
disabled soldiers and ranging in price
from so cents to $3.50, will provide
an attractive selection for Christmas
shoppers.

w. s. C. PROFESSOR
PLEADS FOR COYOTES

A discriminate preservation of coy
otes rather than thoughtless destruc-
ton of the animals is endorsed by
Arthur Svihla, assistant professor of
zoology at the State College, Mr..
Svihla declares that the good done by
the coyotes far outweighs the harm.
"The coyote feeds primarily upon
what it gets by hunting" claims the
State College professor. 1T does not
pass up any dead animal and thus
serves an important function in the
removal of carrion. One of the princi-
pal objections to coyotes is their fond
ness for, lambs. But rather than blame
coyotes for all the sheep-killing, +
would draw attention to the many
worthless dogs roaming about. Right
now a great many westerners are re-
alizing that the destruction of coyotes
means an increase in jack rabbits,
ground squirrelsl and other rodents
detrimental to agriculture. / should
say that a certain number Of coyotes
should be permitted to inhabit agri-
cultural territory"
Mr.. Svihla also emphasizes the ro-
mantle element which the coyote oc-
casions. Eastern dudes" consider the
howl of the coyote at night an intrin-
sic part of the typical western atmos-
phere. To them the coyote cry repre-
sents the essence of things wild and
natural.

DATES ARE SET FOR '''''- 4
PRUNING DEMONSTRATIONS

]. T. Bregger, Extension Horti
culturist, will be in the County De-
cenber 10, IS, and 16 to cooperate
with the County Agent in the holding
of series of pruning demonstration
meetings covering the various vari-
cites and ages of fruit trees. It is
planned to give more time than it has
been possible to give in the past to
these meetings so that more discus
sion can be had this year.
One very important feature which
Mr.. Bregger brought out last year
was due to his experience in older
orchards of the east, and
showed the necessity for more
spur pruning and the proper fertili-
cation of trees in connection with the
pruning to bring about a fairly uni
form crop of fruit year after year.
This work can be enlarged upon
this year and we believe many grow
ers can profit by the suggestions
made by Mr.. Bregger. Some of the
leading orchardists of the County last
year were very favorably imp 'essed
by this new angle of the p uning
problems.
Tentatively the program as ar
ranged, is as follows: Saturday fore
noon, December 18th, Whitebluffs
and Hanford; Saturday afternoon,
Ringold and Franklin County; Mon
day forenoon December Is, Benton
City; Monday afternoon, Prosser and
Tuesday forenoon, December
18th, Hover and Kennewick; and
Tuesday afternoon, Richland.

Land Under
Ditch Is Being
Segregated
Map To Show Improved
And Unimproved Land
Below Canal

Those interested in getting the wa-
ter case in shape for the receivership
sale have been busy for the past week
gathering information and data on
the amount of good land below the
canal that might be watered from it,
through personal examination.
A map is also being made with
different colors showing both good
and poor land, improved and unim-
proved, as well as the water right
land and that that is being watered
from individual pumping plants.
When completed, this map will be
very valuable as well as being very
essential to anyone furnishing finances
for the purchase of the project at the
sale or for the rehabilitation of the
project. Whoever furnishes the fin
ances will, of course, want to know
the nature of the security for the
loan. About ninety per cent of the
trouble in which some of the projects
in the state find themselves, is due to
the fact that they included in their
districts a good deal of poor land
land that was not worth the construc-
ton cost assessed against it-and
when it was forfeited to the district
for nonpayment of assessments, the
burden was shifted onto the good land.
Those who are working on the pro-
ject here now are determined that
such condition shall not exist here,
and, in the event the irrigation dis
trict plan is the one finally adopted
for handling this project, they want
to include in it only good land, SO
that if there are any forfeitures the
land so forfeited will be worth at all
times whatever amount is assessed
against it.
The final decree in the case has
not yet been signed by Judge Web
ster, but it is expected the Court will
have the decree ready for fling any
day now. Whensthe decree is entered
those interested will know just what
conditions will have to be met.

New Variety Delicious Apple
Propagated by Sequim Man

So great demand for young trees
for planting has come to A. v. Wallis
of Riverside, who propagated the
Delicious Superb which has been
named the "Ready-Red Delicious"
that the grower is declining large or
ders from experienced fruit growers
of eastern Washington and Idaho and
Oregon that he may reserve few
scions for home folks.
Mr.. Wallis is an experienced horti-
culturist, having been in the CONNER
.cial fruit growing business in the
Idaho fruit sections. He got the idea
for the Ready-Red in his experiences
in Idaho, and carried the idea to
fruition at Sequim, with results which
have caused the biggest apple grow
ers of the Pacific Northwest to fairly
gasp in amazenent, but not in sur
prise, for most every old orchardist
constantly dreams of scoring just
such triumph as that of Mr.. Wallis.

READER SAYS PETER MIGHT
HAVE OWNED TIVE EARTH

To the Editor:
There was an article in last Fri
days Spokesman, headed "Peter Min
uit's Buy makes big profit, New York
cost $24, now worth 18 billions"
Well, suppose it did, and is; it was
a poor investment at that. Just think
of all the expense of improvements
such as streets, sewers, water works,
sky scrapers, brown stone fronts,
taxes, etc., and only 18 billions to
show for it. Why, if Peter had kept
that $24 and the whiskey and put
the money out at per cent COM
pound interest, the estate would have
owned the whole earth some time
ago, as tswould amount to $3.50 bill

MRS. PERRY INJURED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. L. L. Perry, formerly of White
Bluffs, but now a resident of Orofino,
Idaho, was painfully though not Sc
riously injured in an auto accident
last Saturday between Orofino and
Spokane. With three other people,
Mrs. Perry was on her way to Spo-
kane in Buick sedan when their car
ran into the back of truck loaded
with poles and was torn apart by the
impact and the body smashed and
twisted and thrown to the side of the
road. The driver of the Buick suffer-
ed fractures Of two ribs and his wife
was almost scalped, while another
woman in the car received injuries
to her brain from which she may die.
Mrs. Perry, in letter to Mrs. F. A.
English of White Bluffs, said that
she considered herself lucky to have
escaped with her life and that she
"told Len he would never know how
near he came to having $1,000 instead
of a wife"

Arrested for Taking Auto Ride

A charge of unlawfully riding in
an automobile with knowledge that
it was stolen was filed yesterday in
the Yakima county superior court
against two 18-year-old girls, Zeffie
Close and Valentine Stewart. They
were placed in the county Jail We'd
nesday. Their bail was set at 500
each.
Officers said the girls admitted
knowing that the car in which they
started out for Spokane with the
two boys week ago had been stolen
by the boys. The car belonged to
Mrs. O. K. Conant and was taken
from its parking place by the First
Methodist church last Friday morn
ing. It was alleged that the two boys
got the girls after taking the car
and that they then started out for
Spokane. They first went to Kenne-
wick, officers said the girls related,
but decided not to try to cross the
toll bridge there for fear that Off
GERS might be watching for the car.
They then went to White Bluffs,
where one Of the boys tried unsuc-
cessfully to cash a forged check, it
was said, and slept Friday night in
the sagebrush near Hanford. They
returned to Yakima the following
day and the boys and the girls sepa-
rated, according to information the
officers obtained. Yakima Herald.

INTENDED ACREAGE FOR
EARLY SPUDS FOR 1891

Report under date of November
18th of intended acreage for early
potatoes for 1881 shows 1911, 800
acres. The acreage for 1880 was 173,
$40; for 1922 1860; for 1928, ZIG,
430; for 1927, 1880; for 1926, 152,
$50; and for 1925, 127,160. Early
potato growers will undoubtedly be
interested in these figures.
According to the forecast it would
seem that early potato growers in
order to be successful another year
should, as far as is within their power.
grow crop which will mature as
early date as possible.

RAISES HALF TON OF SPUDS
FROM One SACK OF SEED

Nearly half a ton, or $50 pounds.
to be exact, from IS pounds of seed!
This is what J.B.Tromanhauser said
was his experience in spud raising at
The Hesperus this year. Not all the
seed was good, either, as only about
two-thirds Of it sprouted. In addition
to the good yield, J. B. said that the
potatoes were exceptionally large,
some Of them weighing as much as
six pounds. The vines also grew lux
uriently and from these Mr.. Troman-
hauser says he expects to have about
half ton of fertilizer for his orchard.
