Regarding Alaska
Timber Sales

WASHINGTON. d. Civilian
Greeley, Chief Forester Of the Unit
ed States. IN his annual report to the
Secretary Of Agriculture says
The most notable development OF
the timber-sa1es business Of tbs year
vas the award of two large pulp
wood units in ALASKA. aggreg ting
1910, 100000 cubic feet. The great
est importance Of these awards lies
not in the sales themselves but IN
what they mean to the development
Of Alaska.
These two units The juneau In
the northern part and the ketehi-
kan in the southern Of the Tongass
National Foreat-Were offered fer
sale after prolonged efforts 10 give
publicity 70 the proposed sales and
10 arouse the interest OF possible
bidders The units we're advertised
at a price of SO cents per 100 cubic
feet for spruce pulp wood and 30
cents per loo cubic feet for hem-
lock. Two bids were received fer
the ketehikan unit and one for the
Juneau unit. Each sale contem-
plates so years supply Of pulp wood
for large paper plant. with proW-
sion for an adjustment of the price
paid the Government at intervals Of
five years.
These large pulp-Wood sales IN
Alaska represent the elimination of
15 years Of work by the Forest Ser
vice to get the newsprint industry
extended TO Alaska. The two big
paper mills which will be built will
mean much IN the economic devel-
opment of Alaska. Each project
will require an investment Of at
least sS.000.000 or s10.000.000 in
water-power development. manu-
featuring plant. and logging equip
ment This primary development,
requiring the employment of a large
number of men, will inevitably
bring about the establishment of
other business enterprises. Both
awardees are responsible concerns
and each has received power permit
from the Federal Power Commits
sion with two years to qualify for a
power license and to complete the
preliminary steps for securing a fl
nal timber contract.
These two units are but a portion
of the available power and timber
resources OF Alaska. 1t is estimated
that five or six large plants, produc-
ing an aggregate of 100000 tons
Of paper annually, can be maintain
ed in Alaska in perpetuity. The poll
icy OF the Forest Service is to en-
courage the establishment OF paper
plants in Alaska only to the extent
that they will utilize the annual
growing capacity of her pulpwood
forests. To each group of water
power sites sufficient areas of tim
Der and timber-growing land have
5een tentatively allotted to make
possible a continuous supply OF raw
material through natural Tegenera-
lion following cutting. In planninf
this permanent development OF the
paper making industry in Alaska
due provision has been made for
holding available the timber areas
needed to supply the local markets
of Alaska. her fish industries. and
her saWmflls which are now profit
ably exporting high grade lumber.
