 AT NOON MEETING

Nrangeu Junior Chamber or Commerce, at its noon luncheon aIonday mad as guest speaker Col. otto OhIson, Receiver appointed Tor Alaska Asiatic Lumber Nils in which Col Ohlson said:
 "I am sure that you all have heard of my appointment as rece!v- CT by the District Judge for the Al. aska Asiatic Lumber Mills, a1 Wrangell and 1 know that all 0r the business men and other citizens here are very much interested in resumption of operation of this plant
 T feel that MT. Wagner has many friends here and l sincerely hope that he will be able to raise sufficient funds to Hquidate the creditors and regain control oyer the property at an early date.
 'I have been instructed by the court to request those who have any claims against the mill cor Loration to present their claims to me which order will be executed
  for four consecutive weeks in the Wrangell Sentinel and in the Jun- eau Daily Empire paper.
 There should exist no appre- hension on the part of local cred. itors or others regarding the liqui- datiOn of all just claims.
 Should Mir Wagner be success ful in raising the needed funds al once, the mill could resume oper ations producing green lumber within one week after the creditors have been fully paid and within approximately two and hall months producing dry kilned lum Der as the dry kiln equipment Is about 609o complete, otherwise, Il will be necessary to locate a buyer for the property or find a respOn sible and efficient mill operator 10 operate the mill under receiver ship.
 The Army Engineers have, how ever, clearly indicated that they will not go ahead with the com pletion of the installation of the dry kiln equipment until they re assured that the producer will re. sume delivery of lumber in accord. ance with the provisions containen in the contract in effect with the Alaska Asiatic Lumber Mills, prior to the closing of the mill.
 While it is true that the price Ot logs has gone up somewhat and labor about 9O9o, it is felt that through efficient operation anu management and the installation of modern equipment that the pIo duction cost can be lowered a.: though it may be necessary to raise the price of lumber owing to the increased cost of materials and la bor
 Tt should not prove very diff cult to find a buyer for the Wran gell mill owing to the fact that logs can be so readily obtained which will assure a steady flow o1 logs at all times and a ower cost because of the short haul of this commodity.
 "I desire to further state that in case MT. Wagner is not success tul in regaining control of the pre- perty that every effort on my part will be made to expedite resump tion of the operation of the hill"
