PROGRESS MADE ON LOCAL INDUSTRY Plans For V Pulp Mill Going Ahea;dily; Type Of Hartley Upon Nothing is being held in abeyance but, rather, definite progress is being made regarding the local pulp mill project it is stated in a letter received today by Olicr Hesner of this city from Frank L. Buckley of Vancouver, who is promoting the project for the establishment of the new industry, at Prince Hupert. This will come as reassuring news to Prince Hupert people who had heard that there might be some interruption in the plans for the enterprise. Mr. Buckley's letter to Mr. Besner reads as follows: "I wish to assure you and want you to so advise everyone else who is interested that nothing is 'being held in abeyance. We arc steadily working on our plans having now definitely decided on a 200-ton Mitchcrlich pulp mill, this being the highest grade of pulp known on the market, and there is not another Mitchcrlich pulp mill on the Pacific Coast. I had expected to leave for the north tonight but am obliged to wait over another week in connection with some plans I am working out with our engineers. "You and all other business men of your district know that this is a most difficult time to get under way but I again assure you wc are not hesitating and as I stated to you in the first instance wc may be delayed a little and it may take longer than anticipated or rather we might consume more time than if conditions and times were normal but wc will go steadily ahead and eventually win out."
