An Alaska Reaction EARLY THIS YEAR, the Cellanese Corporation of America, which had investigated the possibility of putting in a large pulp operation in Southeast Alaska, announced that it was investing considerable millions in a plant near Prince Rupert, British Columbia, only a short distance from Ketchikan, Alaska, says the Juneau, Alaska, Empire editorially. At the time the manager of the Akaka Development Board sought to keep up the hopes of Alaskans by hailing the Prince Rupert project as proof that the establishment of such an industry in Alaska was not far off, since this investment was only a few hundred miles south of Alaska. We failed to see it that way. To us it was nothing to. rejoice about. Here was American capital going to Canada within sight of Alaska's front door. The timber available would be no better, perhaps riot as good Pulo u rices were the highest they ; jhad ever been. Why didn't Ketchikan get the benefit of this new industry employing several thousand men? An investment running into millions of dollars js made for only one reason to turn that investment, into more money.; It isn't made to help any particular area or to employ men or pav taxes supporting any governmental unit, American or for-eicm. The sooner everyone in Alaska, and Alaskan officials in Washington realize that the sooner we will get a pulp industry,. We mut provide the opportunity for investors in thi" industry to make money in Alaska before they will invest What, advantages does British Columbia have ove" Alaska? Lower transportation cn?ts enter into the picture o a considerable extent. Th muddled -state of the land available for the nuln industry in Alaska ogives Canada another ad-vantanrp. Aboriginal claims to much of the land available for nnlp mills in Southeast Alaska are still not sttled. This nroblem, wa brought upon us bv the fnrmpr administration of the DpnartmRnt of the Interior. ami the present administration hs made nracticallv no. propross toward settlement.

JVUAIATOR NRF.PFP HERE SERIOUS FIRES here remind us that RF.CENT Prince Rupert lacks inhalator equipment, the presence or absence qf which, might, at aiy time mean the difference between life and dath from suffocatiqn or drowning. The fact -that there may have been no incidents to date where an inhalator : was required should be taken, as a .piece of good . fortune rather than an excuse for not having it. ; Since the cost is not great it miprht be well if the , addition, qf such, equipment, which is standard for ; most of modern fire departments, was considered without further delay here. tion is planning to build a $15,-OO0.QOQ, plant which will employ a .thousand, men in producing ctlauese for chemical purposes. The pkt will, he eight miles Irqm Prince Rupert, but most cf the business will centre at Prince Rupert, as It is not the Intention to establish a company tewn.
