Juneau’s proposed pulp and paper mills advanced another step Saturday when Mr. Cameron filed his application for a license to develop hydro-electric ] plants in this v y that will produce 81,000 i horsepower and involve the expenditure of $4,000,- | i 000 for power alone. The Federal Power Cumxmsilun; will check up the data upon which the application | is based, and early action is promised. When lhil‘ is granted, as it probably will be, we may expect| to see actual development begin, and when it begins it will be continued until we shall have mills in cperation. That will mean the expenditure of $20,- 000,000 or more before it is stopped, and then will| come operation that will give employment directly and indirectly to 2,000 or 3,000 men. The establishment of pulp and paper mills will mark the beginning of population growth for Ju- neau on a large scale. The town of Port Angeles, ‘Washington, has gained about 400 per cent. in population since the beginning of its pulp and! | paper development a dozen years or so ago. Like improvement here would make a real city of Juneau within the next dozen years.
