Vancouver, and all along the coasts of
British Columbia and Alaska the steamers
wind in and out through mountainous is

like walls, almost straight up from the wa
ter, and with glass you can pick out the
size of the timber. Some of the spruce

kan, Petersburgh, Wrangell, Sitka and Ju-
neau and other places. Father Duncan has
established a sawmill at Metlakatla, and the
Haida Indians have cooperative mill on
Prince of Wales Island. The mills make
building lumber and also boxes for the sal
mon canneries. More than two million
boxes are annually needed, and 80 per cent
OF the lumber of Alaska is used by the fish
ing industry in one way or another
AS to pulp wood, nearly all of the trees
are fitted for paper. The chief varieties n
the national forests are the Sitka spruce AMI
the western hemlock, both of which have
been tested at the forest service laboratory
at Madison, Wisconsin. There are also
western cedar, lodge-pole pine, yellow &C.

down to the ice and spread out through the

the clearing of land comparatively easy

not been able to get enough white paper to
supply their subscribers. The price of news
print paper has SO increased that several
thousand of the smaller journals of the
country will probably have to go out of ex-
lstence during the present year, and the ex-
penses of the larger journals will be enor-
mously increased. For instance, one news
paper OF Chicago uses about 10000 tons of
white paper per annum. The increase III
cost over 1916 will be about SIS per ton,
making an increase in expense of more than
Sl,OOO,OOO per annum. | have met a num-
Der OF newspaper publishers who have told
me that the increase in the cost Of their pub
locations this year from white paper alone
will be from $4,000 to 100000 and as this
additional cost brings no additional profit,
it will be seen that the situation is most
serious one.
Mr. Graves, the United States forester,
tells me that vast amount of pulp material
is wasted in the manufacture Of lumber. He
says at least one-fourth of the disable vol
TIME OF the average tree is left in the woods,
and less than half Of the material in the logs
is made into lumber The waste in one wear
is equal to more than 100000 cords, and
large part of this is IN soft woods that
could be used in the manufacture of paper
In addition, there are new kinds of wood
that can be used to make paper, and there
is vast supply of timber in the national
forests fitted for pulp wood which will war
rant the establishment of pulp mills upon
the chief reservations
Said Mr. Graves: eve have in the ma
tional forests several hunded billion feet of
soft wood that might be used in the manu-
facture of pulp. We have 1O5,OOO,OOO,OOO
feet of western yellow pine, 74,OOO,OOO,OOO
feet of western hemlock, 2O,OOO,OOO,OOO feet
OF Sitka spruce, and 26,OOO,OOO,OOO feet of
white fir, all in sufficient quantities in any
number of localities to justify the putting up
of pulp mill. We have also large quaint
ties of lodge-pole pine, Engelman spruce
and Amabilis fir. There is a great deal of
cheap water power available in the forests,
and the wood is sold on such terms that the
manufacturers can make large profits. Some
OF the pulp manufacturers are investigating
these forests with view to the establish
ment of mills, and this is SO in many, diff
ferent localities.
The forests of southeastern Alaska

The timber of the interior Alaska is Of
but little value in comparison with that of
the coast. The most of it is used for fire
wood, being cut into four-foot lengths and
piled up in long ricks Until recently, wood
was about the only fuel used by the steamers
on the Yukon, and there are still wood STA
tons on the upper parts of the river. The
lower Yukon is navigated by means of fuel
oil, brought from California and stored in
great iron tanks at the various ports.
Fairbanks is now heated with wood. and
this is so of all the homesteads of the Tan
ana valley. Much of the firewood is cut
into logs and floated down the river to Fair
banks 1t is also dragged by teams to the
mines, where it brings as high as Sl6 per
cord. The town of Fairbanks alone uses
from $4,000 to 10000 cords every year, and
that part OF the Tanana valley consumes
about 10000 cords. In Fairbanks the price
is about $40 cord, with an additional
charge of 81. SO when cut into stove lengths
Wood choppers are paid about 81 per cord;
or, If they work by the day, they receive S.
and board. There are three sawmills at
Fairbanks, each of which has daily capac.
ity of about 10000 board feet. Common
lumber brings about $35 per thousand. and
boat lumber, which must be entirely sound,

vice has picked out five locations where it
IS believed pulp mills would pay. Each is
surrounded by large bodies of valuable
timber and each has water power that could
easily be developed. So far no pulp mills
have been established there"

The kenai peninsula is part of the
Chugach forest reservation, and from now
on the woods there will be more carefully
watched. Much of the timber is in the
country that will be developed by the new
railroad, and not little of it is close to Con-
troller bay. From time to time bills have
been introduced in congress to abolish this
forest but the forest service believes that it
is important that it should be retained in
public ownership. The officers say that.
while the timber is not as good as that of
the Tongass, much of it will yield from TO-
600 to 10000 board feet per acre. and that
some of it will run as high as $4,000 feet per
acre They have found that it contains a
large amount of timber that will be of vaiuc
to the industrial development of that part OF
the territory.

lhere IS enormous waste going on in the
forests OF Alaska. Young trees by the mil
lions are killed by the rabbits. These little
ANIMALS strip off the bark as the snow melts,
girdllng the trees from the ground almost to
the height of mans waist The next sum-
mer the trees die and the whole region be-
comes brush heap
There are also many forest fires and, in
the Fairbanks district it is safe to saw that
ten times as much timber has been killed bv
fire as has been cut for fuel or lumber. Firo

miners and hunters are careless. and thous-
ands of cords of wood are DESTROYED by a
single prairie fire. There are such wastes
all along the Yukon and the damage doae
has been greater in Canada than in Alaska.
