Southern Publishers
But. as Mr.. Allen points out,

their pulp wood a little less than
one-half, on the average, OF what
the mills in Canada pay. S

All evidence indicates that e

ject will be cheap enough for a
newsprint MILL, which requires lots
Of power.
On this point, the South Carolina
Public Service Authority, which
governs and directs the" program
of the Santee-Cooper Project,
says:

while no definite rate schedules

the elements of construction a n d

power will be distributed to ulti-
mate South Carolina consumers at
an extremely low rate. From an
industrial standpoint the low cost

up much of the slack caused by
Improbable agriculture"

The formal opening of the Will
mington Camera clubs photo
graphic exhibition will be held be-
tween 3 and 6 o'clock this after
noon at the Wilmington Museum
of Art, 225 Princess street, in the
first floor gallery.
The public is invited to attend,
especially all members of the
Camera club and anyone who sub
mitted prints to the jury. Prizes
will be awarded at the exhibition.
Over so prints were submitted
to the jury of selection and
awards. Thirty prints were chosen
for exhibition and five prints were
awarded honorable mention, aside
from the three cash prizes to be
presented today.
Museum officials said that the
majority of the prints are OF un-
usually high quality and show the
amazing technical and artistic
ability of the amateurs of N e W
Hanover county. AS the subject
matter of the prints was unre-
stricted, there is a great deal OF
variety in the pictures.
"As is natural in our vicinity,
there are a good many marine
scenes included in the landscape
subjects. Several very appealing
prints of children and animals, as
well as a few portrait studies, are
included in the exhibition" 4

RAILROAD HAULS TIMBER
TO FACTORIES

Today, with construction pro-
gress on the Santee-Cooper Pro-
ject nearing the halfway mark,
four industrial plants Of impor-
lance have determined that they
will locate in the area served by
electrical current from the Pine
polls Power House., according to
an engineer of the South Carolina
Public Service Authority. The
names of these companies h a V e
not yet been announced.
Not only will a ship drawing six
feet of water be able to 60 from
Columbia to Charleston, S. c., a
waterway distance of a hundred
and sixty miles but the project is
well located by rail.
The main double track of the
Atlantic Coast Line -ailroad runs
within a quarter mile of the Pine
polls Power House. While many
millions of feet of commercial tim
Der have been removed from San
tee basin over the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad and sent to the saw
mills and furniture factories of the
South and East, much has been
taken by army environments. Serv-
ing with transportation a vast area
that will also receive abundant
cheap electrical power, the Allan
tic Coast Line stands ready tc
meet increased activity in the re-
juvenated Southeast. 1t is only 81
miles from North Charleston sta
ton to the Santee-Cooper Power
House at Pinopolis by the Coast
Line.
Logging Primeval Forest
Upstream of the Santee Dam is
an area of forested swamp, APP
proximately four by six mile s,
which had never been logged. 1t
contained 81,575, 900 feet of virgin
timber, about fifty per cent of
which has already been cut. 1t is
upon this virgin tract that most of
the heavy numbering operations on
the upstream side of the Santee
Dam are concentrated. When this
timber is taken off, the remain
der, of no commercial value, will
be burned. Thus, an area of van
ished forests and long-gone planta-
tions, some of which flourished be-

will be covered by a vast lake.
Altogether, it is said that over
TIA, 600, 900 feet Of cypress and
hardwoods will have been taken
out upstream of the dam by the
time the logging is finished. And
much more remains below the
dam.
The Santee swamp is a famous
spot for cypress. From it for gen
erations great logs have come. A
famous sample is the plantation
barge in Charleston Museum made
from a single cypress log for use
at white Oak" the home of Gen
eral Arthur Middleton M%anigault,
head of a famous Carolina family,
on the North Santee River. 1t is
40 feet 10 inches long by 5 feet
10 inches wide and could easily
have transported IS people across
the river at one time. The oldest
and largest living cypress tree in
the United States is said to be
near Sanford, Fla. 1t is AZ feet
around the base md 125 feet high
and estimated to be $500 years
old. Logs this size are not coming
out of Santee basin, though now
and then one sees a log clearly
big enough to make a capacious
dug-out.
Power For Forest Industries
The Santee-Cooper Project vii
probably always be connected with
the forest: that is to say-some
of its abundant power will prob
ably find it's way into the con-
version of forest products o
various types of manufactures,
building material, furniture, paper
pulp, and what not.
The South now c%onceives of its
timber resource as producing, by
new growth, an annual "crop"
which can be harvested without
impairing the source of production,
but, in fact, actually aiding 1t.
Millions of words have been writ
ten in elaboration of this b a C
idea.
There are also coming into pro-
duction vast areas of regcnerated
forest upon land where destructive
methods of numbering were once
employed.
These two facts make the addi-
ton of new stores of power to the
Atlantic Coastal Plain of the South
eastern States a highly significant
fact.
The Atlantic Coastal Plain of the
| Southeastern States comprises
about one-fifth of Virginia, one
half of North Carolina and one
half of South Carolina, all of Florl-
da and about one-tenth of Alabama
and one-tenth of Mississippi.
This coastal plain contains 225,-
100, 900 cords Of pines and 101 ,641,-
600 cords of gums.
Big Chance For Newsprint Mill.
The Santee-Cooper Project is in
this richly forested coastal PLAIN.
The opportunities for pulp mills
in the South are not nearly ex-
hausted," said Mr.. W.. F. Allen of
the Herty Laboratories at Savan-
nah, Ga. provided the cost OF
power from the Santee-Cooper Pro-
ject is low enough, there would be
opportunity for a n%eWsprint mill
in the Charleston area for there is
an abundance of raw material for
such an enterprise"
The Herty Lahore tories is an ex-
perimental and endowed institution
to study pulp produ ton. 1t is
named after the late DR.. c.. H.
Herty whose propaganda brought
an investment of $500, OOC, 900 in
paper mills and properties, includ-
ing forest land, to the South. The
institution is impartial-the la S t
word. MI. Allen is a RECOGNIZED
impartial authority.
This is good news for Southern
newspaper publishers. Although

Logging Firms Rush Clearing
OF Upstream Sdntee Dam Acres

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. L.
Giant cypress trees whose lives
reach back through the centuries
are falling before the axe in San
tee swamp where the primeval
foresl is being cleared for the 81
gantic reservoir nov being con-
structed on the upstream side OF
the Santee dam, north of Charles
ton.
The work of numbering must go
ahead fast. Storage Of water be-
hind the new dam will begin in
February when the opening
through which the Little /
flows is closed. The Little river is
a branch of the Santee. The Santee
itself will be closed off next sum-
mer, creating a reservoir which
will occupy 1855 square miles OF
the earth's surface. Daily, diff
ferent sections of the great swamp
are discharging heavy trainloads
of cypress and valuable hard
woods.
Twenty-Five to thirty lumber
companies, including about half a
dozen large concerns, are logging
the basin of the Santee upstream
of the Santee dam. The loggers
are highly mechanical. Logging
tracks penetrate deep into the
swamp to spread fanwise into the
uncut stands of primeval forest.
Like the daring young man on the
flying trapeze, huge logs fly
through the air on great cables.
More often, they are drawn along
the floor of the forest on sideways.
Cranes, pulleys, and Winches han
die them on and off logging trains
and flat-cars to the conveyors OF

Counties Seek

Yreka, Calf, Nov. 1e-AP-Re-
bellion spread along the California
Oregon border today. its leaders
seeking to create a 18th state from
six "unloved" counties rich In min
eral and other resources.
The uprising began years ago
when CALIFORNIA; Siskiyou County
talked vigorously OF joining Ore
gon. Then, couple OF months ago,
Curry County in Oregon sought to
secede and Join California.
II grew into a demand for the
creation OF new state yesterday
when Gilbert Gable, mayor OF Port
Oxford and head OF the Curry Coun-
ty secessionists, convinced Siski-
you and Del Norte Californians that
their counties were being mistrea.-
cd, that their states were paying
no attention to them.
The Siskiyou County board Of
supervisors, stirred by Cables
speech. set aside 500 to finance
an investigation OF new statehood
possibilities, and find a name for
the proposed new commonwealth.
Del Morte County supervisors took
similar action.
The rebels then sought TO line up
Modoc County In California, and
Jackson and Josephine Counties in
Oregon.
Creation OF a new state is not an
easy Job. II would have to be
approved by the legislatures OF
Oregon and California, the voters
OF the two states, the counties and
their voters, Congress and the
president.
