WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. (^—Cur
tis D. Wilbur, secretary of the navy,
stated orally October 16 that poten
tialities of the wood-pulp industry in
Alaska are tremendous and, if de
veloped properly, may be able to
emancipate American newspapers
from their dependency on the pulp
industry of Canada.
These possibilities were unearthed,
Secretary Wilbur stated, chiefly thru
the Naval Aerial Survay of Alaska
which was undertaken this summer,

and a continuation of which is now
being considered for next year.
Secretary Wilbur said that not only
from his own visit to Alaska, while i
the survey was In progress-, but also
from photographs taken by the ex- :
pedition, he was in a position to state
that the wood-pulp industry presented
a great future for Alaska.
Three Requirements Noted
Three requirements exist in the
pulp industry: Wood; water power i
with which to run the mills, and wa- !
ter with which to mix the pulp. The j
survey from the air, Secretary Wilbur J
said, had discovered new connections
between lakes and new possibilities
for the use of power. The Secretary
also stated that photographs taken
by the expedition had shown in de
tail the vast stands of timber which
cover most of Alaska, and which he
believed might materially emanci
pate the American newspaper indus
try from itSi dependency upon Canada.
It is not .yet definitely decided as,
to whether the Aerial Survey will be
continued next year or not, Secretary
Wilbur stated. Both the Departments ;
of Agriculture and the Interior have
requested that it be continued but the
matter is still under consideration.
The cost of the expedition was prac
tically nominal, it was stated, since
the upkeep of the planes and the
salaries of the pilots was a standing
charge, and was not increased by the
trip to Alaska. The chief cost of the
expedition, it was explained, was for
gasoline, cameras, and photo plates.
Camera Methods Described
Secretary Wilbur described the
method of which the photographs
w'ere taken as follows:
Each picture was taken through
three lenses. One pointed directly
down, the two others pointed oblique
ly to the sides. In this way, the photo
graph included not only the territory
directly underneath, but the surround
ing area within a radius of a little
over two and one-half miles. * Each
photograph overlapped on its neigh
bor by 60 per cent, so that they could
be checked against each other.
After the pictures were taken, the
detail from each one was sketched in
upon a large map of the country. The
photographs were taken at rapid in
tervals, sometimes every five seconds,
depending upon 'he speed of the air
plane.
Holds Planes Invaluable
Without the use of planes, Secre
tary Wilbur stated, it would have
been practically impossible to have
secured a thorough survey of Alas
ka, since the roughness of the coun
try and the denseness of the growth
makes overland transportation ex
tremely difficult. Giant trees which
have crushed to earth, and then have
been overgrown with thickets and
young trees, constitute one of the
most serious handicaps to ordinary
transportation.
