SPEAKING

Helena, Mont.-What many cap.
itol observers regard as the begin
ming of a campaign to be elected
governor of Montana next year
has been started by Lewis Pen
well, Helena sheepman.
Penwell already has addressed
meetings of taxpayers groups in
various cities, and has written let
tiers to numerous individuals-but
so far has not mentioned publical-
ly any desire for political office.
Referring to the "rotten situa-
ton at the capitol" Penwell Of
fers some kind of plan by which
state taxes would be reduced, and
more efficient government brought
about.
His scheme involves publication
of a weekly newspaper of non-
partisan complexion, to be pub
lished here under the masthead of
the Capitol News.
Penwell's campaign involves
mostly an attack on the corpora
lions, on the public service and
tax commissions, and urges public
ownership of utilities.
Organization of a closely knit
taxpayers association with branch
es in every county so that petit
lions for introducing initiative
measures could be quickly dis
posed of, is also advocated by Pen
we'll.
Already an opposition to Pen
wells campaign has been voiced
while others are inclined to scott.
Some say he is merely taking ad-
vantage of the depression and
drought to further his own career.
"The plan is still in the making"
Penwell told a Great Falls audi
ence. Meanwhile everyone is look
ing forward to the first issue of
the Capitol News which is ex-
pected to fire some bombs and
give definite indications which
way the wind blows.
Political activity generally will
get well under way during the
next three months-and from then
on political fireworks will be the
order of the day.

 The trees which must be cut are defined as follows: Any tree which in the judgement of the Forest officer contains one or more logs, merchantable as hereinafter defined and having a net total scale of 25 per cent of the tree, may be marked or designated for cutting as Q mer- chantable tree"

They deal with sanitation brush disposal fire control, height of stumpS, etc, but under the head of other conditions, the vicious cycle to which I referred to above is completed.

WASTE OF ALASKA TIMBER
 By E. $. HungerfOrd

Forestry experts estimate that seven hundred million feet of timber may be cut annually from the Alaska forests without the least danger of depicting the supply. No one, to my knowledge nas given any estimate of the loss suffered annually from rot But it may be reasonably assum- cd that it is equal to the poten- .ial production capacity, less the amount utilized.

YEARS OF FAMINE

Tn our humble opinion, Alaska must face three years of famine.
 More than a million and a half cases of salmon are on the market today at prices which mean the death of the operator who is not strong financially, Virtually all of the small opera tors of last year are facing ruin and disaster. Many of them were unable to pay even for the salmon which they canned; their stock and equipment ac- counts have not been met. They are unable to finance operations this year. The larger corpora tions are curtailing operations eliminating duplication of effort by closing down various units in different sections of the ter ritory. But they plan to utilize their traps and use as little of the ne-caught salmon as possible.
 Attention is again called to lhe Canadian system which though packing less salmon an- nually, yet employs more resi- dent fishermen than does the Alaska packing combine. Ill Ca nada there is no trap system and all salmon are caught by gillnets and seiners. Under this system a cheaper salmon is pro- duced in spite of the statement that the trap system is the most efficient and scientific.
 Canadian salmon last year cost from two to four cents per fish while the Alaska product trap caught-cost the packers from twelve to fourteen cents This price thereby was the standard demanded by seirers but they got a bit less. The cost Of corporation owned traps rais- ed the cost of salmon to a higher level than the system as wa; worked out in Canada. The Alas ka system then is not the eff cient, scientific" method ascrib- ed. It must therefore be changed by the canners themselves i they would save the industry from going on the rocks.
 Where the Resident Business
 is Hurt
 Under the American system a thousand men are employed as trap watchmen and two thou sand seiners, to put up five mil lion cases of salmon Under the Canadian system nine thousand gillnetters and seiners put up 9 little over two million cases. The Canadian fishermen make better living, according to a sur 2ey of the situation than does the Alaska fishermen The busi less situation in Canada there 1ore is in a healthier condition than it is in Alaska where resi- dent business men are carrying and have been carrying fisher men accounts for several years always in the hope that enough would be earned to wipe out tn. accounts. Instead, however, the accounts grow each year and tn, oebit accounts of the bushes; men grow heavier as they try t, meet wholesale accounts.
 For several years we have tried to convince the business men of this condition but they have preferred to listen to the .alse prophets; they have been lulled to sleep by the songs of the nonresident sirens WhC without compunction operate without thought of the future If the industry and without re- gard to the human side of the problem.

market or utilize less than that amount, we are wasting, not conserving. our national re- sources. During the past twenty years, despite the increase of de- mand and improvement in meth ods of handling, we have utilized less than one fourteenth of our potential capacity
 I wish to go most emphatical- ly on record as saying that it is not the quality of our timber, nor our geographical situation, but the Forest Service who are responsible for this waste.
 There is a market and a pro- fitable market for 50 per cent of our timber today in sufficient volume to keep pace with pro- duction. It is a market which our millmen and loggers stand willing to exploit for the benefit of themselves and Alaska. It is a market independent of pulp mills a much higher priced market. The returns from which would be spent 100 per cent in Alaska.
 It may reasonably be asked: Why have we not been prof1ting by this market?"
 The answer is not fattering, nor do I take any pleasure in
 rying to make the matter clear o the vision of men and women not acquainted with the timber -usinesS. I feel like a man who 5 stirring up a filthy mess with 2 stick, with the idea that my fellow citizens may see fit to of 'er hand in it's removal. I justi- y my actions by the simple 'tatement: Filthy messes breed disease. Cancerous growths on our body polite are the business of every American citizen and call 'or serious consideration. If we 10 not treat the groWths in their
 arlier stages, they become deep
 ooted and dangerous They may rot be immediately fatal but they are weakening, painful and emain always a source of worry and danger, Our Forest Depart nent in the administration of the national conservation pro- gram here in Alaska is badly in need of a good, big dose of the
 erum of comon sense.
 l Conservation may be likened
 o a cold. Doctors tell us that 1 they are really desirable in one way; they relieve the system of , lot of impurities. But let the
 odds settle in your lungs, like the Forest Department has set
 led here in Southeastern Alaska nd it becomes a case of pneu- monia, which calls for serious
 nedical attention But let Us get >ack to the subject of trees.
 Our millmen can go out and get orders for various items of 7aill produce. Profitable orders, IT at least they should be pro- ftable. The margin for ma4au- lecture at a profit is ample. Our 'OggerS can go out and get orders for logs for export, at a price considerably above what they are
 cling their logs for locally. Why then can they not pros per?
 Our representatives put the Forest Department in charge of our national forests to insure an economical and helpful admin istration in the broader sense. They put under it's control all, IT practically all, of the land in
 'outheaStern Alaska. On thi7 and stands a virgin forest prac +ically 100 per cent ripe an ready to cut. Owing to climati conditions, a peculiar condition of affairs prevail in this forest Forest fires are practically un- known.

met the test2

They have succeeded in kill- ing off the healthy, growing mill business which was already es- abolished when they took charge They have done this by estab- fishing a vicious cycle in the name of conservation" They have kept public sentiment smoothed down by promises of great activity and profits from pulp mills, just around the corn CT. They have excused and ac- counted for the failure of our sawmills and helped their down fall by some of the most flag rantly untruthful and nislead- ing propaganda that has ever been written,
 Their chief propagandist, B
 F. Heintzleman, is fond of refer ring to the Pulp Fore t of Southeastern Alaska," giving
 thereby the general impression
 of cheapness or inferiority I am met a trained Forestry Expert,
 nor do I put myself up as such
 I am merely . logger who has
 seen hard service in the pine, redwood and fir forests of tn fracif1c Coast states, with seven :
 teen years at the game here in i Southeastern Alaska have had
 the pleasure Of looking at a vast
 lot of country end timber in the twenty two years of my resi-
 dence here in Alaska. This is my
 verdict: If the forests of South
 eastern Alaska are pulp forests land nothing else, then So also
 are the forests of California. ! Oregon and Washington.
 l We have just as nice timber, land in many places heavier
 stands than many countries en- toying the benefits of a prosper
 ous mill business. The only diff : ference I can see, other than 9 difference in species, is the a.
 mount of rotten or cull timber; caused by the lack of cleansing
 fires. This inferior grade of tim
 Der, which is mixed with the
 better timber in greater or less
 CT proportions, is what I have
 always considered pulp timber
 It is a timber which, with our present market demands, cannot
 be handled at a profit as a saw mill timber. It is a timber which is not very desireable even as g , pulp timber, altho it is possible to utilize some of it. It is this ; timber which is being used as 2 club to hold our saWmills from : expansion and to thereby pre- vent the development of a lum- her industry in Alaska.
 : If you owned a store and were compelled to buy goods from . wholesaler who would not fl
 your order for butter and sugar which sold fairly well, unless you took a like amount of dry beans which your costumer. didn't want regardless of how ! lnany beans you already had 1T stock, you would be in the same position that the Alaska mil mar and logger is in today. : h order to get timber to fl 5 orders the mills have to take 2 varying amount of timber unfit
 ted for available markets. Il >reaks well of the Alaska forests that they have been able tt , operate even to the extent they have.
 The cutting regulations of the
 Forest Department take no heec of this fact, nor do they take any heed of modern forest prac- tice which has come to recOg-
 nize the added waste of hand
 ling unprof1table material. They
 introduced several years ago anc fsre still enforcing the cutting technique of the timber hog without the saving grace of al
 owing the market demands tC

 not merchantable. They tell us

 All four catches will be shipped to Seattle on the steamship Ad- mirsal Rogers, sailing south to- night.
 A quantity of fresh salmon will also be taken to Seattle by the Ad- miral Rogers.
 The schooner North, Capt. Nels Rorvik, from Ketchikan, took bait,
 and the Hyperian, Capt. Oscar Oberg, a boat of the Juneau fleet, took bait and ice, and left for the halibut banks today.
