A steamship that arrived in Seattle
recently brought the first shipment OF
Sitka spruce from Alaska for use In
making airplanes. This wood is supe-
rior to any other for lightness and
strength, and rods go feet long without
a knot or blemish are easily obtained.
Much of this spruce has already been
shipped to Europe from British CO.
lumbia. Oregon and Washington. Sit
ka spruce is the dominant tree of the
Alaska coast region, and was for q
long time regarded with contempt by
lumbermen and used only for fish
boxes. Now 1t is the hope Of the Unit
ed States for paper pulp and airplane
frames.
