S logg, representative of the ) print Service Bureau, who return el to town today L Snettisham Inlet and Seymn nal. The nization which e presents aintained by the print many utrers of Noril America and a large part of its work consists of keeping in touch with each new project. and ve ur' Ca org b Pointing out that enormous capi-. tal is required for the establish ment of the industry in any coun- try, Mr. Kellogg emphasized thal ho did not mean that it would blossom here overnight. “It will not come with a rush but through the processes of gradual develop ment,” he said. Two Essentials Present Two essentials are required for the. upbuliding of the pulp and newsprint making industry, Mr. Kellogg continued. These are: cheap timber of a suitable kind and economically developed water- power resources. Alaska has both of these, and pre-eminent in its possession the first resource. Its forest s well suited for pulp | manufacture an¢ can be harvested and brought to manufactory poinis at a cost that is probably lower than in the most advantageously situated areas of eastern Canada, he said. In his opinion its waterpower resources are not quite on a par with those of eastern Canada. The best of the Alaska waterpowers are not comparable with the best of the eastern Canadian powers he contended. Question of Market The final determination as to immediate development, which is being contemplated by the Zelles- bach Paper Company and George T. Cameron and associates, Mr. Kellogg believed, would rest upon the finding of a market for thc product. At present the capacity of the newsprint industry of North America exceeds the rate of con- sumption. And while the growth in consumption has been tremen- dous for many years, there has been a corresponding increase in the producing capacity. Today the latter is still increasing largely in eastern Canada.

Of no uncertain tem- perament, he ordered all his slaves away and in selecting his grave on the mountain gave orders he should be interred in an erect position, his face toward the val- ley. Then let any slave dare ap- roach the flelds again. Another legend says Colonel Hancock was buried standing up, so he could always be on the watch of slaves at work and keep them from loafing. . some | olof the Mint. | i | | ticn Cemmission. ury Department'’s (lower right) woman in Government service.
