BETTER'HIES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don't lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates" as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad tines—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression."
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!

POLICY in ALASKA
(Continued from Pare Oral
there should be not only a large
volume of wood now available, but
also a productive capacity of wood.
The best opportunities to get this
wood and to grow future supplies
were found on the nearby Admiral
ty Island, and on the east side of
the slightly more distant Chichagof
Island. The resources, in power
timber, and potential timber
growth, each essential, are avail
able for a permanent industry
which will employ over a thousand
men, and are well grouped for low
cost produuction. Without the tim
ber and the timber growth there is
no incentive to develop the power.
Without the power, the timber can
not be manufactured and sold in a
highly competitive market.
Other water powers, mostly more
costly to develop than those near
Juneau, were found in other parts
of the Tongass Forest, and it is
apparent that, when economic
conditions justify full development
throughout the Forest, the ability
of the reasonable accessible timber
growing areas to produce wood on
a permanent basis will be at least
balanced by the availability of po
wer for manufacturing that wood
into paper.
From the start the Forest Ser
vice has insisted that the paper
making industry in Alaska must be
on a sound permanent basis. Some
times against the urging of impa-'
tient Alaskans, it took the stand
that the best interests of the Ter- J
ritory and of the nation would be'
served by having the industry es-1
tablished only when economic con
ditions justified the belief that it
would be reasonably successful in
its competitive field, when agencies
qualified technically and financial
ly were willing to undertake devel
opment, and when study has deter
mined the limitations of size of the
plants which could be supplied per
manently with raw material.
By 1926 and 1927 these conditions
seemed to have met. Applications
for timber and for water power per
mits were submitted by persons
of unquestionable financial ability,
and of experience in large under
takings. Newsprint prices were
high, and production in Alaska
.seemed economically sound.
One of these application was for
the water powers near Juneau and
for the appurtenant timber, in
cluding the timber on Admirality
Island. Public advertisement, call
ing for competitive bids in the case
of the timber, led to the granting
of a preliminary permit to Mr. Geo.
T. Cameron for the water powers
and to an award of the timber to
I him at the price which he bid and
under terms of the sample contract
which was made public during the
period of advertising and which
corresponded to the “specifica
tions” ordinarily furnished any in
terested parties when bids for pub
lic supplies or work called fcr.
Thus the good faith of the Federal
Government is involved in this out
standing award. The form of con
tract was printed in full as part
of the record of the recent hearings
before the Senate Committee on
,Wild Life. Under the award, Mr.
Cameron had to obtain a water po
wer license, and the formal timber
contract was not to be executed
until this was done. The Federal j
Water Power Commission has sent
the license to him for execution.
He also has the formal timber con
tract, ready for execution.
Economic conditions during the
last few years have made Mr. Cam
eron hesitate to invest the $1§,000,
000 to $15,00)0,000 necessary for
water power development, plant
construction, and logging equip
ment. Whether the development

specialist spent Friday in Seward
and this morning continued to An
chorage on the train. Dr. Edmunds
arrived on the SS. Yukon.
is undertaken by him or by some
one else, however, is not the essen
tial point, The correlated use of the
water power and the timber in the
northern portion of the Toaigass
Forest, under such control as will
assure permanancy, will be, in the
judgment of the Forest Service, a
a sound business proposition, an
aid to struggling Alaska, and wise
national economy. The timber now
standing on Admiralty Island and
the power of its land to grow fu
ture crops of timber are essential
parts of the development. Removal
of them from the project means
its collapse, the indefinite post
ponement of industrial develop
ment in the region, and an increase
in the difficulty of reducing the
dependence of the United States on
foreign sources for an essential
commodity. If development is not
immediate, it will come in a few
years, provided the project remains
intact. The Forest Service has not
forced and does not intend to force
development against economics, but
ts confident that the opportunity
which this project offers is funda
mentally sound from the viewpoints
of a business venture and both na
I ticnal and local benefits.
The Forest Service does not agree
with the proposal to destroy this
chance for desirable industrial de
velopment by making the 1,100,000
acres of Admiralty Island an invio
late sanctuary for the brown bears.
It believes that a variety of uses of
this island, including adequate pro
tection for the bear, can be corre
lated and harmonized, and that
this will best serve the social and
economic needs of the Territory
and of the nation. Exclusive use
of this land for a bear sanctuary is
unnecessary. So far as timber use
is concerned, any one area will be
cut over only once in about 75 years.
The opinion that such use neces
sarily involves the extermination or
noticeable reduction in numbers of
the bear is untenable.
It should be appreciated that in
dustrial development to a limited
extent has already taken place on
Admiralty Island. It has operating
gold mines and salmon canneries.
It has promising and extensive coal
beds and mineral deposits yet un
developed. It provides excellent
hunting and fishing. With these
various resources it seems destined
to play an important part in the
economic and social life of the Ter
ritory.
While the above facts would indi
cate the undesirability of reserving
the timber on Admiralty Island in
the interests of bear protection
they might be wholly inadequate if
this unique species were threatened
with extermination or serious de
pletion and there appeared no other
way of affording protection. The
Forest Service is vitally interested
in the preservation of all forms of
wild life. It is obligation which the
Service has assumed as a respon
sible administrator for public pro
perty, and results of the past 25
years ought to be ample proof that
the policy of the Forest Service is
one of perpetuation and not of ex
termination.
(To be continued)
An unusually large amount of
building lumber delayed the sail
ing of the SS. Yukon for the South
last evening until an early hour this
morning.
The SS. Watson, now to the West
ward will return to Seward some
time tomorrow and is scehuled to
sail for the South soon after its
arrival.
The SS. Starr, towing the coal
barge Lawrence to Cordova, is due
to return to port sometime today
and is scheduled to sail for the
Westward on Monday.
