Alaska Road Hints Paper Development.
Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry)

(Pacific Pulp and Paper InduStry0
 Two hundred thousand dollars have been set up by the U. s. Forest Service from the Forest High way Fund, for reconstruction of the Juneau -Thane unit of the Glacier Highway system in Southeast Alaska. Work will be launched this summer.
 The plans call for the construction of an 18-foot standard highway, the first of that width ever to be built in the Territory. The route will follow approximately the present rght-ofway of the old Thane Road until the causeway at Thane is reached. At that point the route will follow the bench above the machine shops, eliminating the trestle work that would be necessary by sticking to the beachline.
 The announcement reviyes interest in the paper mill which has been projected in Southeast Alaska for the past four years. George T. Cameron, pub ciates holds certain timber and hydro-eectric power concessions in the vicinity of Juneau looking toward the eventual construction of a 200-ton newsprint mill and water power development adequate to supply such an industry
 Following detailed timber and stream surveys ex- tending over three years the Cameron group last year obtained Federal sanction to proceed, but the collapse of the news print market was undoubtedly chief contributing factor in delaying actual con- struction.
 While announcement of definite site for the Cameron mill has been studiousy avoided, popular street gossip has already located the mill at Thane due to some natural advantages and its proximity to Juneau of the two major population centers in Southeast Alaska, which could readily be tapped as labor reservoir.

POST AND GATTY ACHIEVE THE

Wiley Post and Harold Gatty. American avators who arrived at Roosevelt Field yesterday afternoon eight days fifteen hours and ffyone minutes after the moment they hopped off to break all records in a world enoircng trip, having achieved their objective have written their ndeliby in the history of aviation evolution. They have set a mark that will stand for all time. That does not mean that it will never be beaten but 1t so fast and So much better than anyone else had done it that it will always stand out
 The previous fastest time for round -the-world trip was that made by the German Graf Zeppelin in 1929 It sailed from Friedrichshafen to Fried richshafen in twenty days and four hours Post and Gatty beat that time by eleven days and twelve hours.
 Without over much of publicity or any sort of fuss and feathers Post and Gatty performed their task through knowing what they about and working hard. They understood just what they wanted to do knew how to do it, and did it. They offered no excuses or albis They did not need to. They will rank with Col Lindbergh Col Byrd.
