 "The local market at present is in a very uncertain and stagnant condition with little promise for improvement in the immediate fu- ture due to our extremely limited sources of local demand and con- sumption and with no export out let permitted to the loggers.

 KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Dec. 19 1930.-To the Editor, The Empire Juneau:
 "A PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT FOR THE ALASKA LOGGING INDUSTRY:
 During the last few years AL askan loggers have been confront ed with serious disadvantages en- deavoring to find profitable and permanent markets in which to dispose of their logs. The local selling markets are strictly limited in regard to both demand and consumption due to the few saw mills operating and to the pre- vailing weak economic conditions of local business in general which has been very uncertain and dis couraging to the industry.
 "The few sawmills in Alaska who conaume and cut any considerable quantity of logs are organized and have their own dependable logging companies which assures the mill of steady and constant supply of logs throughout the months they operate. AS a result our local saw mills are fully protected for logs by operating their own logging companies.
 Due to the rigid climatic con- ditions Alaska sawmills operate on a seven months per year schedule, or less, which forces the logging industry to lay practically idle four or five months each year with no local market to purchase their logs but with their constant living ex- penses and heavy depreciation costs on logging equipment prevailing twelve months year. At the same time unemployment naturally re- suits for majority of the loggers who follow the industry as a direct result of the long shut down of the camps each fall and winter.
 Fibre Box Factor
 
 "In the last few years large com- panies below are manufacturing fiber boxes of compressed paste board which are rapidly replacing the wooden boxes for shipping canned salmon and fish among the canneries. These paper box manu- lecturers are increasing production yearly as the demand increases due to cheap costs of manufacturing a fiber box in place of wood. These paste board boxes have cut into our local markets and are being used extensively even in Alaska which reduces our sawmills de- mand for logs as well as reducing one of our mills biggest outlets
