ALASKA PULP
MILLS OFFER
OPPORTUNITY
The Seattle Railway and Marine
.Wwo is pushing a scries of articles
netting forth “New Trade Opportuni
ties of the Pacific.” The article in the
series appearing in the current numb
er of the magazine is devoted to the
chances for the paper and pulp busv
ness. Concerning Alaska’s offering to
the opportunities for the Pacific coa
it says:
“In this connection we can visual
ize that vast coast line of Alaska, all
the way from Dixon’s entrance to
Cook inlet, two-thirds of the distance

being an inside passage, both shores
being covered right to the water’s
edge with a class of Sitka sprue*?
which is almost wholly worthless as
marketable timber, but all of which
is good for the manufacture of pulp
1 wood as it is the same identical tirnP
er from which the British Columbia
pulp is ground. That it has never been
utilized is due to the almost criminal
negligence of those responsible for
handling the affairs of the Unite!
States forestry bureau, dating from
the time when Gifford Pinchot suc
ceeded in his baneful work of placing
a valuation on Alaska’s growing timb
er based upon its worth as market
able lumber, when every person pos
sessing a knowledge of the country
knows that it has no commercial value
except as wood pulp. Yet with that
vast tonnage of United States wood
pulp available, and whose many well
protected harbors and inlets and un
limited water power offering the
grandest opportunity for the success
ful development of pulp and paper
mills, we are still importing millions
of dollar's worth of wood pulp. Even
the leading daily paper of Juneau,
Alaska, printed in a locality surround
ed by thousands of acres of timber
available for pulp, gets its supply of
print paper from across the line in
Canada.**
FISHING INDUSTRY IS
GROWING IN ALASKA
Leaflets giving a list of fishing in
dustries in Alaska, together with the
Alaska and local address of each com
pany, have been compiled by the
Alaska bureau of the Chamber of
Commerce. As in previous seasons,
salmon heads the list with more than
a hundred canneries, nearly as many
salteries and fifty mild-cured plants.
Herring ranks next in importance.
With the market created by war last
year , dozens of new plants were open
ed and the herring salteries at the
close of 1918 numbered about one
hundred. Canning of herring was car
ried on by only two canneries, one lo
cated at Port Walter, the other at Big
Port Walter.
Fifteen plants specialized in the
salting and canning industry, which
was scarcely started until last year,
was represented by eighty plants by
the end of 1918.
Under the heading “miscellaneous”,
arc included canneries which engaged
in the preservation of atkafish, mack
erel, sablefish, shrimp, whale, ancho
vies, crab or clam cocktails and trout.
Several companies, specializing in fish
byproducts and fertilizer, are also
listed.
Copies of the leaflet may be obtain
ed upon request from the Alaska bur
eau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
