KLUKWAN

The trappers have been look ing forward to a good season q: trapping this year but they have been spending their time look ing for a good day in which to set their traps. Before the most of them got started the season was over so that no one up here even caught a mouse this year. There is between eight and nine feet of snow up this way. At Porcupine, fourteen miles above KlukWan the snow is about twelve feet deep and some of the houses will be under the snow if this keeps on a couple of weeks more.
 The roadhouse at Wells was destroyed by fire recently. Wells is about one mile above KlukWan and is owned by Samuel Whitak- CT who had gone down to Haines late in January for short trip. When he returned on the last day of January he found noth- ing but ashes where his road house once stood. As no one in KlukWan had gone up there that week on account of the deep snow, they did not know any thing about the fire The loss to Samuel is about three thousand dollars. The Brotherhood and Sisterhood took up a collection for Sam and his wife to ease them over the first hard stretch after the fire. Mrs. Whitaker is mother of Ed Donnelley who died recently while out on a hunting trip.

sense are not only those lrn-
 mediate industries using timber
 but are all of the industries
 Springing from the needs ot
 the timber industry. I would
 say that the by-productS of the
 Washington and Oregon timber were 90%o of the cities, towns
 railroads, highways, telephone and telegraph lines, farms
 chicken ranches, dairies, in fact all industry and settlement with , in the confines of the timber belt has felt the help and support of profits derived from the harvest ing of the timber.
 What is the Forest Depart ment proposing to do with the profits derived from Southeast ern Alaska's timber industry? Is it going to be used to build up subsidiary enterprises to benefit this country? Or is it going to turn it over to on-residents. Are our cities going to prosper to the point where they will be able to house and entertain the woods worker and fishermen, keep them from feeling the need of going to the States for en- tertainment and a contact with progress or are they going to remain forever the landmarks of a people without viSion-a peo- pie despoiled.
 What subsidiary enterprises supported by news print pulp mills are there which could be expected to benefit our towns. They are like the packing houses 3f Chicago they utilize even the squeal of the hog but they turn out only Cne product, paper
 The towns of Alaska will have the same chance at the payroll of their employees as they have at present at the payroll of the cannery help. Company towns are an old story. They will pay Stumpage charges of about S50,- 900 a year each. Part of this may be used to build roads and re- lieve taxation. This is the sum total of the benefits derived from pulp mills under Forest Service salesmanship. I as a log ger am not thinking that I can log for the pulp mills even on contract basis without buying my supplies from the Company store. That will mean of course that I will pass right back toI
 them all but what profit I make, if any. Any new men in my camp will behave as all such men do. They will stick close to camp until they have stake. They will use the money either for a big bust or to start themselves off in business. They can not own land here and Se- attle calls to those with money to spend.
 Under private ownership of tand the local towns will have chance at spending the cost of delivering pulp wood to the mills Roughly about one million dol lars for each plant of the size projected. They will have al chance at an immensely higher percentage in the mill industry which will develop around our present towns as labor sources.
 The best brains of the country say that national ownership of resources is wrong. Why not step out and get our own?

BRIDGE BATTLE
Of CENTURY
DUE SOON

NEW YORK, Dec. / 0NSO.
In that charmed circle of card
playing society where the decks
are always new and shiny and a
nonchalant bid of six spades Is
heard and played in unctuous
silence. they are squaring off for
the battle Of the century-the
long-awaited Lenz-C ulbertSon bridge
tournament.
December z has been set for the
time when the Cards first go
Skimming over the table, fraught
with the task of proving once
and for all, if possible, whether
Ely Culbertson has the right
idea or whether that distinction
belongs to his arch-enemy. Sid
ney Lenz.
This will be no namby- pamby
affair like the 10-round bouts
they stage at Madison Square
Garden to decide upon which
pugnacious brow shall rest a box
ing title.
It goes back to the forgotten
day and age when warriors bat
tied with bare fists until one
or the other passed out of the
picture, for Mr.. Culbertson and
Mr.. LEM will fight it out for
$50 rubbers.
Whichever system stands up at
the end of that terrific ordeal,
so they say, should be recognized
as the official, accepted. gilt
edged manner Of playing correct
contract bridge.
