RETURNING PROSPERITY
Within the sisty days since the
new year began, orders were placcd
lor 4,000,000 tons of steel, valued
at 5240,000,000. This cheering
ae»s comes as incontrovertible evi
dence that the industries of the
nation are reviviug, because the
orders are not for nax material, but
for equipment by land and water
transportation coaii>anies which are
olmoct swamped by tha increased
volume of traffic.
While activity ii< steol product
la not the only general business
barometer, it is regarded as a re
liable indicator. For years the
commercial agencies in their week
ly reports on the state of busin&ss
throughout the country have given
to the steel market tha first and
rha most prominent place, lu the
demand for steel there is reflected
the ac'ivity of nearly all construc
tive industries. Rolling mills can''
run full time if nie whoie country
Isn't able to use their product.
Bu*. the. colossal orders placed
during the first two months do not
tell the »hole s'ory, for the dis
patch adds: "And the crest of tho
boom has not ye" been reached."
Reports from different parts of the
country reveal stroujr efforts to im
prove and extend existing plants,
and 'he prediction is freely made
that the productive capacity of the
United States will be increased by
netxt year U tho ri'te of 4,000,000
tons annually.
This view may be too optimistic
for the conservative mind. If so,
then reduce it one-hnif, and enough
is left to put hope and courage ia
»o everj heart. To the Pacific
Northwest tho improved condition of
the 6teel industry w 11 bo especially
gratifying, for wherever there is
demand for steel there is also de
mand for lumber—the industry upon
whic"i our prosperity largely de
pends.—jPortland Itlegram.
CAPITAL READY TO
ESTABLISH PULP MILL
Capitalris now ready to' establish
pulp mills in this section, says the
Seward Gateway, U the government
| can !)<• prevailed upon to permit
ithtm to cut the timber.
Tills statement was made by
Senator Henry Rodeii, member of
(he upper house of tho first legis
lature. He declares that the
people who wish. to establish
the mills have already ap
plied for permission to cut tho
timbei but that under tho present
conditions they hare found the
getting of this percussion an im
posibil'ty. Fot fhjs reason as
well as tor many others he believes
that the Development iBoard bill
which is now before congress ought
to be passed as It ivould mean the
establishment on the spot of a
body that could ba spoken to di
rectly, could havo the facts ex
plained to it right on the spot
und would not find delay necessary
in coming to a conclusion. Mr.
Rtdeu, who apparently for some
good reason has given a lot of
»»udy to the matter, says that the
spruce growing an und hero, and
indeed ull the way to Queen Char
lotte ?ound, would make wrapping
paper and that the cottonwood
would make a high class bond pa
per. The establishment of a pulp
mi.l would mean the investment of
at least a hundred thousand dol
lars. The senator says positively
that he knows the people who want
t j establish such a mill here If
they are permitted 'o do so, but
lie savs, the government will give
them no show.
Those people also want to bo per
mitted to cut the yellow cedar and
hemlock which grow in patches all
through the sprucn forests. Those
two soits of timber could be cut
and exported as thu home market i
is not large enough.
-Mr. Roden doeo not say that he
is here particularly to take any I
steps in the matter and from his j
words it is evident that the peo- j
pie who have the wish to establish
the mills have no hope of being able
to do anything until the Develop
ment Hoard is established anH ready
to perfcrm its work.
