PRODUCTION OF
PULP BOOSTED
TO FORTY TONS
j
Speel River Mill Puts on;
Three Shifts—600 Tons j
Ready for Shipment. ,
With .three shifts working pro- j
ductlon of pulp at the Speel River |
plant of the Alaska Pulp and Paper
Company has been boosted to 40
tons dally, according to Manager
W. P. Iaiss, who came to town to
day for a few hours. Six hundred
tons of pulp are stored on the docks
at the plant awaiting shipment to
southern mills, Mr. Lass' trip herej
being to arrange for transports-,
tlon.
The quality of the company's pro-!
duct continues to be maintained at
a high standard, said Mr Lass. Re
cent shipments aggreagting 1,000
tons made to California mills were
reported by them to be the finest
they had ever handled. All of the I
mills who have handled it, he said.i
have praised tt highly.
Demand for labor throughout the,
district has been so heavy that it.j
has been with difficulty that tliej
company has been able to keep Its’
shifts full and It was only by
combing the district that it has
been able to put on three shifts.
The third shift was made possible,
■aid Mr. Lass, by pupils from the
Sheldon Jackson school at Sitka i
Who were secured by him. Several,
students from colleges on the Pu-i
cific coast have been employed fori
the searon and will arrive at the!
j/.'ant in the near future.
“We have plenty of power, lots]
Ci logs, men enough to keep grind
ing continuously, the plant is in
flae shape. All we want now is the
transportation companies to keep
our docks clear," said Mr. Lass. The
Curaoo, Admiral Line freighter, will
call at Speel River southbound and
take on a cargo already on hand.
Mr. Lass returned to the plant tills
afternoon.

OH, BOY! ISN'T THIS LOVELY.
r
Who If the happy pair in tho picture?
A thousand gueese,-: Wrong—all wrong!
Meet George McManus yes. the very man wlio draws the
"storm and strife” cartoons about Jiggs und Maggie — and his
chat ming wife.
You would expect that a bohlnd-scenes snupsiiot of the creat
or cf Jiggs would show him dodging rolling pins, wouldn’t you?
J1 is knowldege of such missiles, as demonstrated in this drawings,
would seem to indicate that the home life of Mr. McManus was
not all sunshine.
That proves again that you can't always tell from where you
sit. Tlic McManus "household is as different from the Jiggs-Maggio
menage as white is from black. The photographer discovered that
when he met the last boat from abroad.
Mrs. McManus, returning from a trip to the Holy Hand, was
cne of the first passengers down the gang-plank. And the man at
tlie foot of the gang-plank met her with a regular honeymoon kiss.
(See picture.)
"We nearly always travel together," smiled Mrs. McManus,
holding tight to George’s arm. "But he couldn't get away in the
winter, which is the only time of year to visit Palestine. And
I've always wanted to get there! So he prevailed on me to sail
without him. But 1 never will again, will I, George?"
And George agreed with a heart-felt, “Not if I know it!”

PARKS RETURNS1
FROM WESTWARD;
TO MOVE SOON
Says Iransfer Part of Depart-1
inent Policy—Will Have j
Office in Juneau.
To remain in this district until
his headquarters are removed to
Anchorage on July 1, George A.
Parks, Chief of the Alaska Field
Division, General Dand Office, ar
rived last night on the Admiral
Watson irotn Anchorage. The trans
fer of his own headquarters, he said,
w'as designed to bring him in closer
touch with the districts in whichi
moat of the field work exists.
Mr. Parks had but little comment
• o make on the transfer of the local
U. S. Land Office. "I believe It to j'
bo a plank in an established policy!
of the Department of the Interior;
to concentrate, its forces and efforts;
in the districts in which it is in',
charge and for the development ofj
which it is responsible, that is,!
whore there is the greatest amount j
of open and unappropriated public!
lands. The move for the transfer,I
so far as I know, was initiated and;
consummated at Washington where!
a complete file of all Alaskan bu.-l
ncss is kept and details for the!
change were worked out there.”
An office will be maintained herej1
by Mr. Parks. All of the files per- •
tainitig to Field Division work in'
Southeastern Alaska will be keptj
in it and a clerk assigned here to !
handle all cases, W. B. Heisel, Mr.i’
Parks' chief clerk and disbursing!
agen.t, will he left here us Field'!
Division representative. Mr. Parks! i
said lie expects to spend consider- •
able time here, probably as much as1
he has in the past, transfer of his!
headquarters merely bringing him!
in closer touch with the field in'
which he has in the past spent all!
of the summer season.
,”I am satisfied that the Depart
ment will yjgke satisfactory ar
rangements to take care of all local!
Land Office business,” lie said. Just'
what they will be, he lias not been
informed. This information will!
probably come from the Washington!
iffices in the near future.
