LOOKS WELL FOR PULI* AND PAPER
DEV ELOPMENT.
The progress being made toward the development
cf the Thomas Hay pulp and paper project by San
Fiunctsco capitalists is one of the most hopeful signs
cf the times for this section of Alaska. A plant such
tt that described for the readers of The Empire by
Mr. Dougherty, aa near Juneau as Thomas Bay, would
have a tremendous effect on business in this city, and
terve to stimulate the develpoment of pulp and paper
mills closer here and elsewhere in Southcastrn Alaska.
The indications are that next year will see develop
ment work on at least two large pulp and paper
enterprir.es and, perhaps, an enlargement of the plant
cf the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company at Sped
Illvir This will mean that the development of this
industry will be larily under way.
There 1b nothing which contains so much promise
for increased population and prosperity for Alaska
is the utilization of the timber resources of South
eastern Alaska, and never before lias there been so
much activity in that direction as at the present
time. Juneau, ly uhikan. Wrangell and Petersburg
are ixpoitlng lumber in larger quantities than ever
before. This week will nee Juneau's first large cargo
of lumber shipped to Australia and it wu- yesterday
announced that a second large cargo will tie shipped
in September. These shipments all mean employment
foi men at the mills and in the woods. Hut as
promising as is tills lumber activity, it is small in
ccmparison with the possibilities of the pulp and
papt r braneh of timber utilization.
Tie great cities of Washington, Oregon and Brit
ish Columbia are in large measure built on the timber
atacureeB of those political divisions, and what lias
been accomplished there Is about to bo done for this
part of Alaska. As important as are the Ashing and
mining industries to Juneau and Ketchikan the pos
jibilltles cf population producing values in the timber
ere much larger.
Juneau welcomes this iiilluence of California
capital in her timber resources, and will unquestion
ably afford all the co-opera tl»n possible looking
toward its success.
INTERNATIONAL MATTERS.
President Harding made several points clear in
the speech he was to deliver in San Francisco on
intematicnal matters and which was given to the
public without delivery. One of them is that the
United States will not recognize the Russian Soviet
Government. Another Is tiiat he would not favor
changing the constitution of the International Court,
operating under the auspices of the League cf Na
tions tint in no wire bound to it or by it, as some
people seemed to gather from his St. Louis speech.
The President held out hope that there will be an
catly adjustment of our affairs with Mexico, and that]
we shall be able to recognize that country soon.
Aside from those radicals who desire immediate!
recognition of the Russian Communistic Government
ar.d who are so afraid of the League of Nations that!
they would have nothing to do witli Us World Court i
the President's position will meet with the approval!
of the American people on all three of these matters. |
Union labor, under the leadership of President1
Gompers, is jus; as strongly opposed to recognition I
for Itu ia with the militaristic rule as are other
end mote conservative elements of the population.
The u; uranee of the President that the country
dwells in a "cherished and unthreatened peace" adds
to the force of hi advocacy of entrance to the World
Court and his announced purpose to continue to
act with other countries in the interest of tlie per
manent peace of the world. The effectiveness of this
er.urse will bo all the greater on account of the fact
that there are no pressing complications which in
volve this country.
Tliis “unthrcatemd" peaceful situation in which
the United States fftTc's herself is largely due to the
Fcur-Puwer treaty which grew out of the Washing
ton Conference and insures peace on the Pacific. This
treaty wa . opposed by those who now object to
our tntiance to the World Court. The tine results
that have come from it strengthen the position of the
President with reference to his later proposal.
There is no clement of the population that will
r.ot welcome the early adjustment of the Mexican
situation and the recognition of the Obragon Govern
ment Wiilc h sfetmt to bo in (be c ards.
NOT LIKELY THAT OPPOSITION CAN BE
CONSOLIDATED.
It is r.ot likely that the opposition to President
Harding's Administration will be united in the next'
campaign as was that to the Wilson Administration j
in the la t campaign. In the first place no Will Hays!
has sppered on the liorison to organize the opposi
tion into one party. In the next place it is not
pic ba'ble that it could bo done even with a Hays’
leadei hip. lie me crats, have a way of fighting out
their differences to the hitter end and there is no
evidence that they will abandon that practice now.
However, II the Democratic Party should continue
on the progseselve course that it followed during the
Wlhan Administration and nominate a conservative
progressive, or a progressive conservative, as George I
Harvey described Wilson to be, it is within the possi
bilities if not probabilities—that there will b,e no
Third Party candidate. Under those circumstances,
unless conditions change materially in the next year,
there would be an excellent chance for Democratic
succeed in 1924.
If Henry Ford should become the candidate of a
Third Party there is no telling what would be the
result. Even Senator lai Follette as a Third Party
candidate might upset tilings so that there would be
grave doubt.
But the election is a year off, and a year is a
long time in the politics of these days.
Because Alaskans are willing to meet and maKO
the most of the eruditions that confront them rather
than to battle forever, single handed and apparently
hopelessly, for principle, it must not be take". far
grnU'd that they l ave become Pinchotites. They hive
not. Their continued acceptances of conservation
will depend wholly upon tlie ability of the Govern
ment lo make such iaws and regulations as will tiring
private capital into the Territory for development.

Volsteadians In this country account for the in

account for a similar increase because they do not

Lightning Competition.
(New York Tribune.)
The thunderbolt matinee staged in a laboratory
by tiie electrical experts up in the Berkshires may
have excited the jealousy of nature's foemen who
"lido on the whirlwind and direct the storm.” At
all events there followed an unusually capricious dis
play of the old-fashioned bolts manufactured in the
sky.
Tiie thunderstorms of Wednesday was a curiously
selective torn petit in New York, descending on some
spots with tiie utmost ferocity and leaving near-by
areas quite unscutched. It was as though the man
agers of the supernal electrical works were showing
their imitators that their control of vast voltage was
not less perfectly in hand than that of the pluglar
i ts In their little playhouse over their miniature
explosions.
The scientists split blocks of wood with their
lightning. Piqued at that, nature's electrician tossed
a bolt at army’s biggest blimp. A powder works
here, an oil tank there, any number of buildings
were fired. It was an adequate vindication of the
masttry of Jupiter Tonans. And yesterday he gave
a superfluous encore. It will he some time yet be
fore the electrical wizards win the world’s lightning
championship.
Mrs. Harding.
(New York Post.)
A genuine anxiety for tlie health of Mrs. Warren
G. Harding is relieved by the news that she has
rapidly recovered from the futigue incident to bo
many arduous excursions. It is by no means an
unimportant part that the President’s wife lias to
play. Women realize the responsibility; they have
always understood such matters. The circumstance
of Mrs. Harding's serious Illness shortly before the
Alaskan tour was planned and her determination to
accompany her husband called particular attention
to her nigh estimate of the importnee of her role.
When the President goes calling upon so many
thousands of his fellow citizens he makes that
ceremony more gracious if accompanied by his wife.
Whatever one may think about international rela
tions or Mr. Harding's policies, it is generally
realized that "the Hardings'' are a congenial, middle
aged couple, sharing each other's aspirations and
looking bek with plaesant remnilscene upon a road
they have travelled hand in hand to the highest
honor within the gift of their countrymen. They
expound by their very presence something about the
art of living that Is very dear to the hearts of ail
Americans.
It was a very brave and unselfish resolution
which inspired Mrs. Harding to go with her husband
on so long a journey, tilled with such an unending
succession of snclul duties. Hut sho has her reward
in H'e knowledge that together they ahva.Vs make
friends. Million a of men and women wish her a
most pleasant journey and a safe return, with health
unimpait d.. As first lady of th land, she is doing
her part lovely.
Novel Tug of War.
(Washington Star.)
Two huge steam locomotives of modern type were
decisively defeated in a tug-of-war contest with a
single electric locomotive of new design in a test
in an Eastern city. The electric gave Its opponents
a heavy handicap by allowing them to start first
but gradually brought them to a standstill as the
current was turned on, and then drove them the
other way. Five of the huge electric engines are
being placed In passenger service on the Pacific Coast
end of one of the transcontinental lines. They are
entirely gearless. Twelve of their fourteen axles
have motor armatures mounted directly upon them
that give a total or from 2,760 to 3,230 horsepower,
the engines weigh 630,000 pounds, run on a 3,000
volt direct current, and can make more than 65 miles
an hour with a load of 12 cars.
