BRIGHT FOR SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA
The fact that Isadore Zellerbach, head of the Zeller
bach Paper company, with his associates contemplates
making an exhaustive survey of pulp possibilities in Alas
ka, involving, as is stated, the expenditure of $150,000
with the ultimate investment of $30,000,000 if findings of
the survey warrant, forecasts what appears to be destin
ed as an establishment of a great industry in the Terri
torv.
It is quite natural that the seekers of pulp wood will
give attention to points nearest the scene of distribution
and utilization, and therefore the rose-tint encompasses
Southeastern Alaska, rather t^an the Westward as the
immediate or near future possibility.
Data already available thru the Forestry Bureau
points to the area under consideration being possessed of
all the essentials to the pulp industry, including stand of
timber, water power and clean water for manufacturing
purposes. The promised survey will deal with the co-or
dination of these features in a given area and considera
tion with respect to economic questions.
There is no doubt that once the pulpwood interests
launch upon the work such as Mr. Zellerbach contemp
lates, the inquiry will extend further when Southwestern
Alaska may look for an equally propitious situation, and
its vast resources in timber come under scrutiny with the
same objects in view. , .
In the meantime everyone will join with Southeastern
Alaska in the satisfaction that a portion of the Territory
naturally feels in the envisioning of a departure which
means so much in its economic life.

The Iowa corn and hog growers want Secretary Jar
dine removed from the Department of Agriculture be
cause he does not represent that section which produces
“hog and hominy.” As Iowa is long on hogs and short on
political plums—fair enough! fair enough!
A Canadian judge, denying a divorce, told the wife
she would exercise more discretion in selecting a husband
who did not “tank up.” Evidently that is what she was
trying to do when the break threw a monkey wrench into
the discretionary machinery.
Dawson reports a rich silver discovery 25 miles away.
Which is a hint for everyone to begin scratching around
in their own back yard. No telling what they may find in
addition to milk cans.
Doheny saws he got what he expected. There is
some consolation in that he did not expect the national
capitol, Lincoln memorial and other embellishments of
Washington.
You have heard people say they “don’t want anything
for Christmas.” Well, that seems to be Mr. McAdoo’s at
titude toward a presidential nomination.
The man who does most to protect wild life is the one
who thinks another hunter is a caribou or bear.
What Chicago really needs is one good oldtime 1870

Santa Claus is the only man who pays any attention
to silk stockings when there is nothi ng in them.
The entombed miners who ate their corncob pipes
may have hit upon a new idea for a breakfast food.
Only 75 Americans get $1,000,000 a year. Why, we

Fortunate is the farmer who can look at a couple of
husky sons for relief instead of to Congress.
The fellow who really has inside information usually
keeps it inside.

HIRE BUMS PLACED
UNO POSTS REMOVED
In line with the general improve
ments w'hich have been under way at
Ogle’s Garage for some months past
four of the heavy posts on one side of
the main floor have been removed
and replaced with two. The weight
of the upper floor has been equally
distributed by placing 9 x 17 beams
below the 12x12 beams. This altera
tion permits of much greater freedom
in jockeying autos about. A like im
provement will be made on the oppo
site side of the garage.
