Mr.. Thomas F. Pollard,
Mr.. G. A. Jeffrey,
Committee on Invitations,
Beartooth Boosters Club,
Red Lodge, Montana:
Since receiving your kind inv-
tation to attend the celebration
and banquet in observance of the
assured construction of the Red
Lodge-Cooke City highway, I have
been endeavoring to arrange my
engagements to be present at this
event. At the moment, however,
it does not seem possible for me to
be in your city on May 26.
In Washington few weeks ago
| had the privilege along with Mr..
Shelley, of helping to reach the
final conclusions just as the Sec
rotary of the Interior and the Sec
rotary of Agriculture were allot-
ting the necessary money for mi
tial construction on this enterprise
as we'll as arranging the connect
ing mileage fof uniting this ap-
proaeh with the Montana Federal
system. After those things were
out of the way, I believe every eff
fort has been made to let the con-
tract at the earliest possible mo-
ment. My latest information is
that the project will be advertised
by June l, which I think, should
be quite a satisfactory conclusion
to the long effort that has result
ed in the success which I know
causes great rejoicing in all Of
your section of the State.
Montana is fortunate in secur-
ing the first allotment out of this
approach highway money appro-
priation. Building of this highway
will afford immediate employment
and great satisfaction to all those
who have labored so earnestly and
through continued effort to bring,
about the outcome that you cele-
brate.
| understand that Mr.. Mulvaney
will go down from Billings and |
know he will convey the many good
wishes of the Montana Highway
Commission.
| wish to add my personal con-
gratulations for Mr.. Shelley and
for all of the people who are so
fortunate as to attend your ban
quet.
With personal regards. and
thanks, I beg to remain.
Sincerely yours,
o. S. Warden
Chairman, Montana State
Highway Commission.

ton of the Red Lodge-Cooke City
road as an approach road to Yei-
lowstone Park, available for con-
struction under the provisions of
the Leavitt Act of January 81,
1881. | think you have very great
ly estimated the assistance
that | rendered in this matter. 1t
looks as though my part in the
project is just about to begin.
I want to take this occasion to
express my very great apprecia-
ton for the work you did in get
ting this park approach road prob
lem so thoroughly understood by
Legislators in Congress. Right
along you employed wholesome
national viewpoint in promoting
the approach road idea, and I am
sure that other States than Mon
tana will be thankful for your en-
ergy, persistence and foresight.
| know that the people of Montana
appreciate the work you have done,
and judging from the editorials |
have seen, I feel that this appre-
citation is widespread.

are most modest if you do not take
unto yourself the first responsible

You are to be congratulated upon

| want to extend to you my
heartiest congratulations on the
outcome of the Red Lodge-Cooke
City Road Legislation.
During the several years of ex-
perience as Secretary of the Sen
ate no effort in the seeking of leg
islation has come to my attention
that compares with yours.
Many times I have thought that
your bill was completely destroyed
and that all your work had come
to nil but fortunately you never
looked on the side of defeat and
continued the battle.
The people of that community
and State should be most grateful
to you as you have rendered them
service that no one else, in my
opinion, could have or would have
accomplished.
| have been close observer of
all of your work here in Washing

scientiously say that it has been
of an upright and most outstand-
ing character. If / had any pro-

Raw Materials Us. Finished Products

woods gangs and the only source of supply left for Alaska sawmills would be the spruce mixed in the hemlock groWths which could be logged only at a cost so prohibi- tive as to make it impossible for the local manufacturers to com- pete on open markets with Puget Sound and British Columbia mills.
 Currently, as in the past and will continue to be in the coming few years at least, Southeast Alaska saWmills rely in large measure upon their production of clear spruce to enable them to operate at a profit. It can be sold prof1tably even during slack times because it is a unique pro- duct which has no real competi- tor for certain uses. Should this source of revenue be cut off from local manufacturers their chanc- es for successful operation would be seriously endangered. The export of raw spruce would menace this market in two re- spects-by limiting the source of the supply for the local mills and by bringing Puget Sound or ether factories into direct com- petition with them. The latter, being nearer the markets, na- tUra]ly would have decided sales advantage over the local plants.
 The timber industry, including logging, sawmills and box fac tories, is the source of some $1,- 500,000 in annual revenue. Ten years of unrestricted exporta- tiOn of spruce logs would wipe out at least goodly part of that sum and endanger capital in- vested in the saWmilling branch.
 The comparison made by the Ketchikan interests as to fish and mining are unfortunate for themselves. One of the hardest
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-02-15
From the Juneau Empire

The Empire there appears a communication entitled "A Pro- gressive Movement for the Alas ka Logging Industry,' signed by a number of responsible busi- ness men of Ketchikan, includ- ing three men who are actually engaged in the logging business. Inasmuch as they plead for a direct reversal of one of the ma jor policies of the United States Forest Service in Alaska, what they have to say is of vital in terest not only to the residents of Southeast Alaska, but, also, to all Alaskans since revenue deriv- ed from Alaska's forest resources is diverted into Territorial as we'll as local channels.
 The issue which this con- munication raises can be stated simply and in few words. It is the long established policy of the Forest Service to protect local timbering industries, such as saw mills, by denying the ex- portation of logs to British Co., lumhia and Puget Sound points. Certain Ketchikan interests now demand the abandonment of this policy and ask in it's stead that a new policy be promulgat- ed which will permit the forest resources of Alaska to be shipped in raw form to foreign manu- featuring centers.
 This immediately raises the question: Which is the more profitable for Alaska, to manu- fracture and market it's own for ests in a finished form, or to per- init them to be cut and shipped elsewhere to be manufactured into the various articles of cOm- merce and marketed there? Up- on the correct answer to it de- bends a great deal. The proposi- tion is so elementary that it hardly needs arguing. The For
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-02-15

pCCCo. 1CS QcClSlOIl was that Alas ka would never have any sub- stantial forest products indus tries if it permitted the exploit ticn of the raw resources for the benefit of already established industries in other localities. And this seems to be a logical con- clusion. At least it is in line with the history of all industrial com munities, and is borne out by the development record of other lands. That country is most pros porous and populous which comes nearest to completely transforming into finished pro- ducts it's natural resources, sur passing by far those which strip themselves of raw materials to have them manufactured into final forms somewhere else.
 Some of the arguments of the Ketchikan interests, while bas- ed on facts, do not give the whole picture. For instance, the state ment, Ut is estimated the standing spruce timber in Alas ka is equivalent to the entire standing growth of both the States of Oregon and Washing ton," needs clarifying It is true the entire spruce stand in the Territory probably exceeds that of the two States mentioned, but the stands of commercial log
 ging chances are something else again. The spruce trees, scatter ed containing billions of feet, do not cffer logging chances for saw timber. The entire spruce stand of Southeast Alaska is estimator to be 15,800,O00,000 feet broad measure. Of that a. mount, about 316,000.000 feet board measure probably consti- tute the logging chances avail- able today. The effect upon that supply if it were thrown wide open to logging operations for export would be disastrous. In
