its predestination as an ideal city. This

SELL MILLION
 CORDS PULPWOOD

Washington, D C.. July 22-One
 million cords of pulpwood on the Ton
 gass National Forest, Alaska, has just
 been sold by the Forest Service of
 the United States Department of Az
 riculture to the Alaskan-American
 Paper Corporation. The timber is To-
 cated along the east short of the
 Behm Canal, Revillagigedo Island,
 about 32 miles from Ketchikan, the
 largest city in the Territory. The
 contract price of the timber was 60
 cents per 100 cubic feet for spruce and cedar, and 30 cents per 100 cub ic feet for all other species. The sale area covers 45.0oo acres and ex- tends for 55 miles along the coast Twenty per cent of the forest IS spuce. 66 per cent hemlock, and IA dar.
 A conditional award has been made by the Forest Service to the company, pending approval by the Federal Power Commission of their appiica-
 ton for a hydro-electric power lie ense. The timber sale contract covers an initial period of 32 years, until 1853. The price of the Stumpage will
 be redetermined and fixed by the Fed
 era1 Government in 1928, and every five years thereafter. Cutting must
 begin by October l, 1923, thus allow mig two years for organization ana construction of improvements The contract also requires the establish ment of ap ulp mill of not less than
 25 tons capacity by October 1, 1926.
 A yearly cut of from 2,50O.OO to B. 100000 cubic feet is contemplated. The award of this sale is in line with the general policy of the Forest
 Service for making available the tim- Der resources of Alaska as a means of increasing the supply of pulpwood for the United States. The National
 Forests of the Territory probably
 contain 1Oo,OO0,oo0 cords of timber
 suitable for the manufacture Of news
 print and other grades of paper. Un-
 der scientific management, experts
 says that these forests can be made
 to produce 100000 cords of pulp
 wood annually for all time, or
 enough to manufacture one-third of
 the pulp products now consumed Tn this country.
