APPRECIATES LOCAL UPPORT. CAPITAL The enthusiasm with which capital has greeted the public spirit shown by Port Angeles, Washing- ton, because that town voted 2819 to 11 in favor of a bond issue to bring water into the place in order to secure the location there of a 500-ton pulp mill and a 1,000,000-foot sawmill, is a lesson to other towns that desire to progress and prosper. Among the things taught by the congratulations that poured into Port Angeles is that capital appreciates local friendship as one of the finest possible assets. There is nothing that will do more to secure capital for a town than assurance that it will receive mei utmost co-operation from the local residents. The following editorial from the Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry magazine, commenting on the attitude of Alexander Polson, the largest lumber- man of the Grays Harbor country, toward Port Angeles tells an edifying story, one from which other towns along the coast might profit: Alex Polson, leading Grays Harbor lum- berman and a militant figure in the in- dustry, is financially interested in the new pulp mill and sawmill venture of the Olym- pic Forest Products Co., at Port Angeles. Following the successful water bond el- ection at Port Angeles he expressed his congratulations to that city upon its civic cooperation and enterprise in welcoming a new industry. He expressed a touch of bitterness towards Grays Harbor as a com- munity and said that that community had Jost this self-same industry through its fail- ure to cooperate. “I congratulate Port Angeles on secur- | ing this new industry,” Mr. Polson said. “New industries need some consideration in matters of taxation and should be helped along. Vacant sites pay no taxes. The attitude of Grays Harbor on the question of taxation and in other ways has served to drive this desirable industry out of the community. “Grays Harbor will not feel the loss so heavily today as in the future. On account of the policies inaugurated by Federal and State bodies in charge of forests, insisting more and more upon complete utilization, the industries which set their houses in order best to meet those policies stand the best chance to get these public bodies of timber when they become available.” Mr. Polson indicated that failure of civic spirit in Grays Harbor caused him to throw his support to Port Angeles. This is a lesson to Juneau at a time when she is seeking and expecting the development of a pulp and paper industry and other industries here. Let us support in every way possible the people who are coming here with miliicns of dollars to make a manufacturing city. And let us not forget for a minute that one of the finest and surest ways to convince the coming capitalists that they are really wanted is to give all possible support and encouragement to the industries we already have. FORMER JUNEAU VISITOR RUNNI FOR HIGH OFFICE. Frederic R. Coudert, Jr., son of the famous New York lawyer of the same name and grandson of the even more famous lawyer of the same name, nephew of Gov. and Mrs. Riggs, has accepted the fusion nomination for District Attorney of New York County. He takes his place on the fusion ticket as an anti-Tammany Democrat. The day after he decided to accept the nomination, he received the unqualified endorsement of two eminent Democratic authorities. One of Mr. Coudert’s endorsers was his Tammany opponent, Supreme Court Justice Thomas C. T. Crain, who declared that “Mr. Coudert is not too young to be District Attorney. His record has been a splendid one.” Mr. Coudert is 31 and Justice| Crain, his endorser, who is running against him, is 69. The other endorser of Mr. Coudert was the Democratic New York World, which said: In nominating Frederic R. Coudert, Jr., for District Attorney, the Republicans have made an excellent selection, and in our opin- fon at this time, Mr. Coudert is clearly to be preferred over Justice Crain, the Demo- cratic nominee. Even if the personal qualificaions of the two candidates were equal, the argument in favor of supporting Mr. Coudert would still be decisive. There is every indication that Mayor Walker will easily be re-elected. And that being the case, it is highly desirable that in the crucial post of District Attorney there should be a man who is not beholden to the same political influences which sur- round the Mayor. It is a very healthy thing for the city to have a Mayor and a District Attorney who belong to different parties. With a competent, vigorous and courag- . eous District Attorney such as Mr. Coudert _ghows every promise of becoming, the city | that he has made good and that his merit is being |lap at the remarkable speed of nearly thirty knots. would have some ohe to turn to as a check upon the kind of administration which came to the surface in the Rothstein case. The World welcomes Mr. Coudert to political life and will suppport him. Frederic R. Coudert, Jr., visited Juneau with his father and was a guest at the Governor's House when his uncle was Governor of Alaska. He made many friends here at that time when he was still a college student. His friends will be glad to know recognized by high authority. Interest in 1929 elections in the United States thus far seems to_ be confined to Virginia and New York City. Both will have exciting cam paigns. The most interesting thing we can think of in connection with them, at that, is that they are a long way from hert population of 520,000. It time to make ex- Seattle is claiming a is perilously close to counting travagant population claims. Alaska has native buffalo. returns from the imported elk. Now let’s listen for Public Spirit Wins Great Industry for Port Angeles. (Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry.) When it comes to community spirit there seldom has been a more simon pure chunk of it exhibited than at Port Angeles on July 30. Nor is it entirely fair to confine this exhibition of spirit to that single date. On that day occurred merely the climax. The story goes like this: Port Angeles was told that it had a mighty good chance to get a group of wood using indus- tries, included in which would be some items such as a 500-ton pulp mill, a 1,000,000-foot sawmill and some other auxiliaries not quite so specific. The people who had in mind building this new | payroll were well known to Port Angeles. One was E. M. Mills, President of the Washington Pulp &“ Paper Corporation, which already operates a 270- ton news print mill there. He is also an officer in the Fibreboard Products Co. which operates a]WOMAN'S TRUE WORTH 60-ton pulp and paperboard mill at Port Angeles/ also. Then there was J. H. Bloedel, timberman, who kept 1,000 or more men busy cutting logs just west of Port Angeles. There was Joe Irving, Puget Sound ! logger and head of the Port Angeles Western: Railroad that runs west from Port Angeles down| into some mighty fine virgin timber country—and is building on farther. And there were others. So Port Angeles people knew fairly well who| was talking. There was a site on the waterfront| at Port Angeles that these interests looked upon with favor. On it was a set of buildings built by the Federal Government during the war to cut| Sitka spruce for airplane stock. Not a stick was ever cut. This sawmill and the Port Angeles West- | ern Railroad were both a part of the Government | scheme which died with the signing of the Armis- Brince in Ill-Health || PROFESSIONAL e | | :,T ""DRS.

Phone 484 The international jury which made the awards declared that the outcome was the fault of woman tice. ! Now these mnew interests looked upon these! varied assets, looked to the virgin hills of timber | to the west beyond, and figured they would do| something by knitting them together. So they| formed a temporary organization known as the Olympic Forest Products Company. They needed two things. They must have industrial water for this large enterprise. They need- | ed the public support of the community. | And that is where Port Angeles stepped in. The Olympic Forest Products Company said to Port Angeles: “We will need 20,000,000 gallons of water daily for this enterprise. If you will vote bonds to build an industrial water line we will contract | for the supply.” Subsequently the contract wa: made, the company to pay the city $30,000 for the | first year's rental and $37,000 annually thereafter, which would completely amortize the debt. The| company was to maintain the line after building. ‘The civic spirits then got busy. Here was a chnnce\ to add a big payroll, that rested squarely upon the big, prime resource which covered the hills back of Port Angeles with green-tinted wealth. The | committes got busy, everybody boosted, everybody talked bonds. | On July 30, when the polls closed, 2,830 Port Angeles citizens had cast their ballots. The 1928 Presidential election had pulled mightly for votes, but this bond election which was much closer to home knocked that record way out. And out of| that total of 2,830 votes cast there were only 11 cross marks after the word No. Do you wonder | that Port Angeles citizens made whoopee that night | and danced in the street and all that sort of thing? Immediately upon hearing the election results, | Mr. Mills wired to Port Angeles: “We all greatly appreciate the splendid feeling indicated by the water bond vote and we hope to establish an industry entirely worthy of your fine city. Engineers are already preparing plans for mills and construction will be started within a short time.” Thus did the Olympic Forest Products Company | get the two things they were affer, the water supply and the community's support. As this issue goes to press it is officially stated to Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry that Mr. V. D. Simons, consulting engineer of Chicago, is work- ing on the plans of the mill units and construction is expected to start possibly some time in Sep- tember. The completed mill will have a.daily capacity of from 500 to 600 tons of pulp. The Bremen. (Manchester Guardian.) Even her rivals will congratulate the Bremen on her remarkable feat in breaking the trans- Atlantic record for speedy crossing. What makes her triumph all the more notable is that foggy weather seemed likely to rob Her, almost at the end of her course, of the coveted distinction. Rally- ing from this handicap, the Bremen ran her last That would not be a bad rate for a boat which, like the destroyer, is built primarily for speed. But for a liner of more than forty thousand tons it is magnificent. Thus does the Atlantic contract. Of course, five-day crossings are not likely to become the rule for long enough; even the Bremen will not hurry to break her own record. But such feats as hers are far more important than flights by aeroplane in the history of trans-Atlantic trans- port. People are wondering where the tourist traffic to fill the new and projected superships is to come from. Obviously, the mammoth liners are intended lo accommodate the rush of prominent New York Repubicans to Europe on the eve of a Mayoralty nomination.—(New York Times.) e S Question omitted from Edsion test: What kind of speech does Bernard Shaw invariably make?
