selfish motives, can save us.
Thank God, lumbermen are by
tradition, fighters, and I believe
in this emergency we will stand
as one man to protect the in
dustry of which we are so proud
and upon which depends the
livelihood of thousands of work
men.
“Few, even of the larger oper
ators, have realized in recent
years the important position the
box industry occupies as a con
sumer of lumber. Of the total
cut of lumber in the United
States approximately 33 per
cent is used in the manufacture
of crates and boxes. In the Paci
fic Greater West 50 per cent of
the pine is converted into con
tainers, thus indicating the im
portance of the box industry.”

ALASKA COAL FIELD TESTED

Core drilling will be done this
summer on Anthracite Ridge, in
South Central Alaska, on the
north side of the Matanuska
River Valley, about 200 miles
north of Seward, to determine
whether there is sufficient high
er rank coal to warrant com
mercial development, according
to word received from the de
partment of the interior in
Washington, D. C.
R. W. Richards and G. A. War
ing have ju?t completed a survey
report, but, it was explained,
there is not yet sufficient data
available to show conclusively
that mining operations would be
feasible. The report said that
there were some beds of coal
from twenty-four to thirty-four
feet thick.
