The Alaska fisherman., 1931-11-15
Answering 7he American Pulp & Paper Association

NO1 T. E.--Ou OCpU. l, 1SOl Ol1C American Pulp & Paper Associa- tion of New York addressed a letter to President Hoover and the Department Of Agriculture, asking them to restrict the sale of pulp timber from Alaska and to suspend present negotiations with pulp and paper interests whereby Alaska forests might come into competition With the interests of said Association.
 Protests against this request were made to the Department Of Agriculture by Chambers of Commerce of Alaska and on Sept. II, 1881 Secretary Hyde made an able and compre}eE- sive reply to the American Pulp & Paper Association. We deem this letter of special interest to AlaSkans and are therefore printing and transmitting same to you for your information.
 Board of Managers,
 Alaska Territorial Chamber Of Commerce,
 Juneau, Alaska, October i, 1881. Mr. Jesse H. Neal, Gen. Mgr, American Paper and Pulp As sociation, New York City.
 Dear Sir
 ITO clarify and orient our thought regarding the proposal contained in your letter to the President under date of July 24, and the numerous letters sub sequently addressed to the Presi-- dent or to me by your self and others, it seems worth while to reduce the proposal to it's sim rlest proportions.
 ''The Territory of Alaska, within the Tongass National Forest which is under the ad- ministration of this Department. contains a large volume of tim Der which is admirably adapted to the manufacture of neWsprint
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-11-15

but neither applicant company has thus far advised this De- partment of it's intention to a. bandon the project or to with draw it's applications for the timber and power privileges. :
 Gist of Proposal
 In substance your proposal is that this timber be withdrawn from industrial utilization and held simply as reserve until the time when neWsprint from other present sources of supply is in sufficient to meet national needs. This proposal is based upon the grounds that there is now an overproduction Of newsprint. that the price thereof is muc}? below previous levels, that the competition of the Alaska pro- Cuct would tend to still furthe1:' depress the price by creating a condition of ruinous competition and that as result many mills in the United States would be forced to close and their en- ployees would be thrown out of employment.
 During the calendar years 1929 and 1880 the average con- sumption of neWsprint in the United States was reported to be 3,653, ,464 tons per year. Of this, an average of 1,3O6,441 tons or 35.8 per cent of the total was produced in the United States. The remaining GAP per cent was imported from other countries principally from Canada and Newfoundland. It thus is evident that such overproduction as ex- ists is not domestic but foreign, and a proposal that newsprint development in Alaska be SUD- pressed until overproduction by foreign countries is discontinued might mean a practically per- n1anent prohibition of paper
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-11-15

CIlC DOWCI. All 1dCOOlS Cc1lQ IO establish very favorable condi- tiOns for the manufacture of neWsprint. The people of Alaska naturally regard this timber as an important economic resource and have long urged it's indus trial exploitation, which would GO much to promote the econo- mic progress Of the Territory. This Department opposed any speculative exploitation of the timber, but some seven or eight years ago, when economic con- ditions seemed to warrant the utiliza tion of the timber, steps were taken to make it available for such utilization. Conditions were prescribed which would preclude any but sound and con- SSIVdUlVC OCVC1OJ11lC11C.
 Resources Were Determined
 "The timber resources were carefully determined. The relat- cd water power projects were worked out. All factors indica'ed the existence of conditions fav- Crable to the establishment of a sound and permanent enterprise. Applications were received from companies Of unquestloned financial and technical ability 10 develop the resource. Condition al awards of the timber forming two major units of operation were made in 1927 and the Fed cral Power Commission took fav- orable action in the matter of related water power projects. The two applicant companies, both before and subsequent to the awards, made heavy outlaya i.,- engineering and timber sur veys. At the time, every circun2- stance warranted the contem- plated development. Conditions subsequently, arising have mili- tated against the final consuma-

Made for Hunter

When Glenn Hunter appears ct

ber 14th as the star Of Myron C.
Eagan's latest play, Peter Flies
High" he will be acting in q play
especially fashioned for him. It
was with Mr.. Hunter in mind for
the title role that the author, Mr..
Eagan, wrote the piece, and rather
than have anyone else portray the
part he preferred to postpone the
production until such time as
Hunter might be available.
Fortunately, no unbreakable
eontracts barred the way when the
producer. Leonard B Berg m n,
sought to acquire the young
actors services, and more fortu-
nate still, Mr.. Hunter, upon read
ing the play, was delighted with
It. The Hunter-Fagan combina-
ton at this distance seems to be
3 splendid one.
In their respective lines both
gentlemen have nluStriouS records
in the theater-Hunter, as the
star of Merton Of the Movies, ''

and Fagan as the author Of such

O'DonneII on Loose

"The gangster stepped into
a store and treated himself in
beautiful shape. He bought two
dozen ties, as many handker-
chiefs and a dozen sets of un-
derwear. Before he was finished,
he had a bundle that contained
every color of the rainbow. His
package all neatly wrapped, he
whistled merrily as he walked
from the store.

'They didn't even let him
finish his sentence. They
pushed him into a machine
and whisked him to headquar-

in, O'Donnell was talking to a
group of newspaper men who
stood around him.
At Headquarters

have most of those buns down
here before "a hours he as

when he saw Spike.

time. Maybe you'd like to give

Without waiting for an
answer. he spoke again to the
reporters.

knows nothing about anything
except guns and fancy colors.

about the beating that Spike re-
ceived q few minutes later. It
didn't do O'Donnell any good
either. There was an investiga-

investigation, O'Donnell went
on trial. And the court session
ended with the detective get

eager light in his eyes.

How much does it cost to own

Sam Harris Tale

At the same table, Sam H.
Harris unfolded one Of his IA
vorite stories. 1t had to do with
Jim Thornton, the old-time
monologist, who has been on
the vaudeville stage for more
than fifty years. Jim never
cared much about the sticks
and h, hated to be away from
Broadway. Necessity, however,
sometimes compelled him to
play the smallest towns.
A few years ago, he found
himself in such a spot. AS far
as applause was concerned, he
wasn't getting a thing. He
would walk on the stage, go
through his routine and walk
off with the smallest kind of
a hand. But Jim didn't mind
because it wasn't Broadway.
On the same bill with him
for three or four towns was a
German comedy band. The
customers went for his act in
a big way, and the outfit was
always compelled to take three
or four encores. After one per-
formance, the leader ap-
preached Thornton.
"Mr. Thornton" he said.
There's something I'd like to
ask you. You've played on sew
eral bills with us in these small
towns and you've noticed how
big we go, haven't you?"
Jim nodded:
"Well," the leader went on,
"why can't we get a break?
Why can't we do the same
thing on Broadway"
Thornton Scowled at the
other man.
Because" he grunted sOurly
"they like you here!".
