MACKIE & BARNES
INTERESTED IN
ALASKA LUMBER
Investigating Logging Condi
tions — May Consolidate
Output for Export.
Consolidation of the lumber output
of the sawmills in Southeastern Al
aska, for exportation to Japan, is be
ing considered by Mackie & Barnes,
exporters of Seattle, according to
the statement of Henry K. Ort. spe
cial investigator for the concern. Mr
Ort arrived in Juneau on the steamer
Spokane. He is here to investigate
logging conditions in this district, to
determine the possibilities for a per
manent business between the saw
mill interests and his firm.
Mackie & Barnes will not enter
into the venture unless there is as
snranee of a permanent business,
Mr. Ort said. Should they undertake
the business they will handle the
exportation of the. entire output of
lumber of the mills in Southeastern
Alaska, with the exception of orders
for local consumption. They will
send theiir own ships, chartered from
the U. S. Shipping Board, to carry
the lumber cargoes, direct from Al
aska to Japan, making the trips as
often as cargoes are ready for ship
ment. A branch office from the Se
attle headquarters will be maintained
in Ketchikan, Wrangell or Peters
burg, the definite location having
not yet been made. Mr. Ort will be
in charge of the Alaska office.
Operate to Capacity
"The handling of the lumber out
rut of the mills In t,his district, by
Mackie & Barnes, will mean that
each mill will be taxed to capacity
output, during the entire season, and
will operate two shifts." said Mr
Ort. "The overhead expenses en
tailed In operating under the present
conditions will he considerably low
ered and the mills will lie assured a
permanent market for their lumber.
Mill owners will be relieved of the
business of getting orders for each
season, this business being handled
entirely between our Seattle and
foreign offices, and will know from
year to year what their season's
work will be. Loggers will also b?
assured of a steady business.
Realize Profit
“Mackie & Barnes will handle the
business so tliat mill owners will
realize a (rood profit on the season'd
output. It is the firm's policy to
establish a business which will yield
a good profit to every Interest and
unless this Is realized, the business
is not started.
“I believe existing conditions will
warrant Mackle & Barnes going into
the business of handling the export ]
in*? of lumber from the mills In this |
distrct. 1 have conferred with the]
forest officials here and they arej
interested In Mackle & Barnes oper-|
attng in Alaska. I hare been given j
valuable Informailon concerning log ]
sing conditions in this district, and j
from which 1 am assured there is]
every possibility that the business
can be carried on a permanent
basis.
Favorable Proposition
"I did not meet Mr. Rutherford,
manager of the Juneau Lumber Mills,
in Seattle, but 1 am of the opinion
that the proposition will meet with
his approval. I am also confident
that the mill men in the towns south
of Juneau will enter into business
with Mackie & Barnos.
“I expect to spend some time at
Petersburg in the interest of getting
the mill there 1n operation. If It
cannot he operated by local inter
ests It will probably be taken over
by outside Interests.
“Mackle & Barnes want every mill
In operation and the capacity output
of lumber from every mill, if they
enter this field. The firm is in the
business especially for cedar, which
has a good market in Japan, but this
■wood alone could not make the bus)
ness profitable and all lumber will
he handled."
Make Report
Mr. Ont expects to return to Se
attle In a short time, when he will
make hif. report on his Investigations
la Alaska, and if It is decided satis
factory arrangements can he made
for entering the Alaska field. The
Seattle office will immediately take
up the business with the office in
Japan, for the placing of orders.
Orders should be received early in
the summer, when operations in the
Alaska mills would begin
Mackie & Barnes is one of the
largest lumber exporting firms on
the Pacific Coast. It handles nearly
*M the exporting business from the
Grays Harbor district, in Washing
ton. and from other lumber districts
oj. the North Pacific Coast, operat
ing a number of ships.
Mr. Ort expects to leave Juneau
on the Jefferson for Petersburg.
Prom there he will go to Wrangell
to confer with lumbermen at that
place and will then go to Ketchi
kan, returning to Seattle.
Provided his firm enters this field
he will return to whichever town
!n the southern district i< decided on
for the branch office of the firm,
accompanied by Mrs. Ort. to make
their future home.

TO SLEIGH RIDERS
Anyone not having firm belief in
the hurt lurk which Is said to uc
•■■cmpany the number 13 is referred
to .1 H. Heher and Mrs, J. W. Kehoe.
Mr. Reher can prove it by an injured
b.,ck, which will keep him in bed Cot
several days, and Mrs. Kehoe can
prove it because site counted noses
and knows. It all happened at
10:30 o’clock last night, when a
paily of 13 piled on a bob-sled and,
starting at the ton of Gold Street,
near the water tanks, came down
the hiil with the sled hitting on all
six. Hut the speed was a telling
strain on the rope connecting the
front a, nl with James Sauls, who
guided the ship of fate, and as the
sit'd flew out over the hump in the
crossing on Gold and Sixth, by St.
Ann’s Hospital, the rope broke and
pandemonium reigned.
Thu sled, traveling at a swift
peed, skidtletl ’about f>0 feet an.l
turned over, at the side of the street,
scattering tho joyriders promiscuously
uni indiscriminately. Through the
t>.c. headedar:,! and quick think
ing ot Mr. Sauls, who turned his
bot.v, oppot'lt > I i the direction the
si*! skidded. tl*< others of the party
following Ills iiKvement, the sled was
held in the tc-d until it had slowed
down in snord. Had this not have
been done, the crowd woi^ld prob
ably have been thrown up against
[the sidewalk along the street, and no
doubt severely injured, several who
were present said.
No one was seriously injured, but
everyone, except Miss Emma Ueland
and Mr. Sauls, was badly shaken
up and Mr. Roller, Frank Ragland,
C. H. Norris, Mrs. Reher and Mrs.
Kehoe suffered sprains, cuts and
bruises. Mr. Ragland and Mr. Nor
ri» are also confined to their rooms.
Mr. Reher tells the world he was
the 13th member of the party, and
in fact he was, as he was the last
to join the crowd.
