RECOMMENDS PAPER
MILL FOR ALASKA
WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 31.—
Secretary of Agriculture David F.
Houston has Issued a statement vir
tually recommending that the gov
ernment establish a news print paper
plr. 't in Alaska, utilizing some sev
en dllions of feet of spruce and
Iiei jk timber of the national forest
of that Territory. It is estimated that
a mill with a capacity of one bun
drcd tons of news print paper a clay
can lie built in Alaska for $2,500,
000.
Experts of the forest service report
that it is entirely practicable to manu
facture news print in Alaska and de
liver it in New York through the
Panama canal at a cost of $35 per
ton or less. These experts believe that
Alaska will he the United States
source of paper and will be found
to exceed the value of any other of
her resources, coal minerals of fisli
i ries.

HUGE GRAVE DUG FOR
VICTIMS OF REVOLT!
LONDON. March 31.—Telegraph-j
ing from Petrcgrad. the Times eor-1
respondent says:
"Hundreds of delegates elected by;
the troops in the provinces are trav-;
eling to Petrograd. all of them being;
anxious to share in the labors of the i
committee of workmen’s and sol- i
diers delegates, which, sooner or later*
will number many thousands. The
military members completely out- ■
number those of the workmen.
“The Black sea fleet is in excellent
condition. Vice Admiral Koltchak,
commander of the fleet, was isolated
at Sebastopol until he was able to as
semble his men and explain tin
eents to them. The effect was entirely
satisfactory.
“The night before the attempt was
made to shoot Minister Justice Ker
ensky, an equally unsuccessful at
tempt was made to shoot Minister of
War and Navy Gucjikoff.
“A huge grave for the victims of
the revolution has been dug in the
Winter Palace square.”
LOOK FOR GREAT BATTLE
ALONG SOMME I KON I
BERLIN. March 29. —German crv
alry is now in touch with the French
and British mounted troops whit a
have been in action for several days a
the territory evacuated by the Ger
mans so that for the first time since
'the fall of 1914 cavalry on both side:*
j is being employed on the wester.’
; front. This is regarded here as an in
dication that great events are takii *r
i I lace and that a real battle is in pros
pect. trench warfare being over for
the time on this part of the front.
The French and British attempted
! to use cavalry on the Somme last year
as well as at the time of the Cham
pagne offensive, but the employmev.
of these forces in the face of entrench
ed troops with machine guns resulted
in very heavy losses. The present sit
uation is a very different one, because
neither side is now protected by
trenches.
