The great grab is once more on
in Alaska!! The stampede for con
trol of the one remaining unexploited
resource of the Territory has com
menced, and it is a fight to the finish
and the .survival of the fittest 'will
win.
The story as told by C. R. Berry
fairly crinkles with sensations; he,
it appears is the Great Obstacle in
the wray of the overriding paper
trust, that MUST get control of
Alaska’s wonderful pulp timber for
ests. He is the interloper who,
posing as an obscure engineer, seeks
to actually place himself in the way
of the great Juggernaut. So they
pull the strings all the way from the
District Forest Service in Juneau, to
the Chief Forester and the Federal
Power Commission in Washington,
D. C., and smugly assert they “will
win.”
The story as Mr. Berry tells it, fol
lows:
In the latter part of 1924, after
making some investigations in the
Ketchikan district of the Tongass na
tional forest, together with Mr. Nico
lai Aali, of the Miller Engineering
company, hydro-electric engineers of
Seattle. Wn.. made application for a
preliminarv permit to the Fish Cr°ek
power site: about five months after
that, actine upon the suggestions of
the Forest Service officials as to mak

that it had such merits as to warrant
the establishment of a large psner

prise can be located there. Aside
Jrom the engineering work done,
tome improvements have been made;
cabins built, trails' made and indus
trial and town sites platted. The
-expenditure of time and labor to
date, exceeds $25,000—expended with
the assurance that I would have the
aid and co-operation ofthe Forest Ser
! vice.
In November (I believe), L. and
J. D. Zellerbach filed upon these
identical power sites, including, for
! the sake of giving some little varia
; tion to their “grab,” two minor
| power sites, or no value to paper
mill operation, but of possibly great
ruture value to the nearby city of
Ketchikan for diversion to the city’s
power plants which are now drawing
all the available water. All that
fthe Zellerbachs have done in con
nection with the filing of their appli
cation is to have been personally es
corted around the waters adjacent to
these power sites by officials of the
Forest Service, the clr'of spokesman
hnd inspirational head of the exclusive
expedition being one Heintzleman,
whose official title is assistant district
! forester, but who is actually the For
! est Service “promoter” of the pulp
l and paper projects of Alaska, notwith
| standing these officials hold up their
hands1 in horror when some poor citi
i zen of the United States is tagged
j with that opprobrious name. Howe
it, this five-hour trip was sufficient
for these Pacific coast representatives
of the power trust to see the vast
possibilities of the ‘‘Berry” project,
£nd right then and there decided upon
getting it, notwithstanding the Forest
Service officials had all along tried to
locate paper projects adjacent to Ju
neau, not having themselves realized
the merits of any of the more south
erly projects.
t _ j. _ : „ ___i.
x_ia i,v> iu c\/v- in w vi f
was made on these power sites by the
(International Paper company (which
is the other name of the Zellerbach
Paper company), calculated to scare
the original applicant (myself) into
fading out of the picture, which said
applicant is loth to do.
The above represents in a concise
manner, the situation that now exists,
according to Mr. Berry. The whole
: matter, as he explains it, is the carry
ing to Alaska the economic battle now
raging between the paper trust and
the publishing interests. Further deve
velopment in Canada by the paper com
bine is to be seriously curtailed and
! groups of publishers of metropolitan
dailies are forming to cast off the
j shackles of price fixing combinations;
| the great stand of pulp timber for
newsprint is in Alaska and the strug
gle is being focused in the Territory.
An article by Mr. Berry, appearing
: in The Alaska Weekly some two years
' ago, entitled “Pulp and Paper Possi
! bilities in Alaska” was widely read
and reprinted; the attention it cre
1 ated, served to fix the attention of the
paper industry, as far as newsprint
was concerned, on Alaska. Mr. Ber
ry, having made his determination
more upon the timber and logging end
of the industry, chose a location for
the establishment of a paper industry
at the extreme • southerly end of the
Tongass forest, represented some of
those publishers whose names, for ob
vious reasons, Mr. Berry was not per
'! mitted to divulge. However, a cor
l poration organized under the laws of
| Alaska has been in the hands of the
| attorneys and organizers, awaiting
I the completion of the group syndicate.
; Commission has advertised a timber
'sale in behalf of the Zellerbachs of
ifive billion feet of pulp timber adja
cent to this power site group; . Mr.
j Berry’s application for three billion
feet is ‘on file (an amendment to the
original act allowing any citizen to
make application for NOT OVER
three billion feet, recently having
been put in effect). The application
of the latter awaits the final act of
making a deposit and furnishing of a
statement of financial responsibility,
all of which Mr. Berry states he will
;do.
in oira nn/i is the time
■when monopolies are seeking to
grab the national resources and make
the people subservient to their dicta
tion. Alaska is our last great store
house of unappropriated timber and
power and this paper making combine
is attempting to get full control in
the Territory and seems to have made
the Forest Service and Federal Power
move recently hte Federal Power
Commission see it as they want them
to see it.
There are some apparent irregulari
ties in connection with the develop
ment of the Alaskan pulp and paper
>tice. This evidence is being placed
in the hands of one of the Senators
projects that cannot quite escape no
whose official interest has largely to
do with Alaskas’ affairs, as rapidly as
ut can be gathered,'in an effort to pre
vent the complete tieing up of one of
the three great natural resources of
the Territory.
