WAGNER REFUTES RUMOR
 CONCERNING FOREST SERVICE

Concerning the rumor circulat- led here last week that action of the Forest Service threatened op- eration Of Wrange1Ts mill by witn- crawal of timber saes. Mir. Waz- her denied there was any truth to the rumor and issued the following statement.
 Neither this mill nor any other mill, or logger or person has as yet been given any promise or right To log what is commonly known as the Edna Bay timber eract on the West Coast.
 While in Juneau last week I called on Charles Burdlck and Charles Forward at the Forest Service office and was advised that they were working up a call for bids on portion of this tract a. mounting to approximately 1z0 million feet, that they hoped to have his ready for advertising some time in February and that 1t
 9ulu run for the usual 9O-day period
 The successful bidder will have live years in which to compete the logging, several miles of roads will have to be built and 1t will De d logging truck operation almost entirely.
 The Wrangell mill and affiliate logging companies will have che same opportunity to bid on thls tract of timber as any other oper- dtor and with an Army Engineer contract, such as We now have, am quIte certain that We will be able to obtain logs to maintain production in line with the En- gIneers requirement."

PHILLIP G. BRIGGS
 EXPLAINS PROPOSED
 NEW SHIP SERVICE HERE

Phillip G. Briggs, operator of the new, proposed Briggs Steamship Company which is due to start op- crations March 15. was in Wran- gel Wednesday afternoon to out line his plans to Wrangel mer- chants and business men.
 Briggs has purchased a former Navy freight carrier with twin diesel power that is being convert ed for the Alaska run. He has made some contacts in Chicago. New York and the Twin Cities for shipping to Alaska and will offer rates from the outset averaging 20 per cent under Seattle-Alaska steamer rates.
 The company will be a full un- ion operator and its chief advan- eage to Alaskans will be a saving on handling in Prince Rupert a. gainst zooming Seattle handling charges. the advantage of carload rates in many overland shipments. plus the 20 per cent lower freight rate. If the coastal steamers cur Iently serving Alaska from Seattle gain higher rates after March 1. as they have asked, Briggs will not boost his rates to correspond. he said.
 Ship Refrigerated
 His ship will haul 450 tons uorthbound and will have 1O-car- load refrigerator capacity to take Alaska fish to Prince Rupert He will charge on either bulk or weight basis but points out that loading from railway ear onto ship at Rupert will eliminate drayage and warehouse charges now paid at Seattle.
 We think as much as SO per can move overland cheaper than cent of the Alaska-bound freight through Seattle" Briggs said.
 From here Briggs flew to Peters burg, and from there will go on to Juneau where he makes his home
