largest national forest in the contin-

Tomahawk Kraft Paper company of

$4,000 acres Of timber near Babbitt.
The sale is likely to be the fore
runner of other large sales on the

Milwaukee, chief of timber manage
ment in the region.
Since European war has cut of
pulpwood importations from Scandi-
navian countries, American paper mill
operators have been looking for mate
rial at home, even though labor costs
here make pulpwood prices higher.
The national forests are ready to
supply a good part Of this material.

Superior, ten times the amount pro-
