TO ASK FOREST SERVICE
 ADVERTISE SITKA PULP SITE

JUNEAU - Plans are nearing completion for the construction ol pulp mill al sitka, il was learned this week from Ben Mullen of Jun eau and New York who is Vice President and Treasurer Of the Al aska Industrial Corporation
 Mullen revealed that his com pany hopes to ask the |. s. Forest Service late this month 10 adver- tise for bids on approximately one billion cubic feet of pulp timber in the Sitka area.
 4 crew of men has been working at the plant and timber site for the past several weeks.
 The project will represent an in Festment of between IS and 20 million dollars. Mullen declared Most Of the financing will be done through Belgian interests although some local money has also been m- vested in the company
 Asked why Sitka was chosen 1n- stead of another of the five pro posed pulp timber sites. Mullen ex- plained that the mild winter wea- ther and favorable climate was the main factor because such condi- tious Qll help to attract highly skilled pulp labor. He also said that the location will do away with .the necessity of building a com pany town although the company Twill need a minimum of loo hous- ing units as soon as il begins op- erations.

WHAT CANADIANS
 THOUGHT OF PURCHASE
 OF ALASKA BACK IN 1867

The following ta an excerpt from an editorial appearing in th' Montreal Gazette on April 30, 1867. An original copy of this was given to the Terri torial Museum at Juneau, recently and is on display there:
 "The Russians seem to be quite elated at the success of their negotiations for the safe of RusSia-America and, to use current term, evidently think that the United States have got a hard bargain The Yankee 'cuteness. of the latter, however. will yet stand them in good stead. It was general ly supposed that the bargain would have to be settled for in good hard gold, equal to at least eleven millions in green backs But in this it appears we were all mistaken, the Rus sian Government being satis- fled to take the account out in Monitors instead of gold. We do not know what they may be worth a piece, but as they cannot have cost much less than a million each. the Russians, if Congress consents, will be entitled to seven or eight. They would undoubted- ly be well adapted to the shall low waters of the Baltic, but the difficulty will be to get them there. In any event both parties would be mutually sat isfied. The United States will have a territory perfectly use less for all practical purposes and the Russians a fleet Of slow-going, half worn out war vessels which can never keep the sea or make head a. gainst the swifter. heavier and handler iren-clads of the old world"

This just about assured the Terri tory would be able to pay it's bills in August. If it could get through another couple of months after that. it would probably be in the clear when the next Legislature meets so far as current expenses were concerned as additional rev. enue could be expected in the late fall months.
