1940 ALASKA TIMBER CUT
 SHOWS GAIN
National Forests Yield B.. 000,000 Feet Dur
 ing Pdsi Year

The timber cut on the National Forests of Alaska during l940 ex- ceeded that of 1889, according to an announcement by Regional Forester B. F Heintzleman.
 The increase on the Tongass For est was due principally to the de- mard fer lumber occassioned by the | defense program in various parts of the Territory. Two established mills in Southeast Alaska opened new lumber yards at Anchorage and Fairbanks to facilitate the market ing of their output.
 The timber cut from the Tongass Forest was 28,500.000 board feet of sawtimber and 100000 linear feet of piling-a total of nearly 3l.000,00O board feet. This does not include the timber cut under free use privil- leges by residents, settlers, miners and others.
 The cut On the Chugach Forest during l940 also showed a satisfac- tory increase in sawtimber, piline and ties. This amounted to 2,000, ,000 board feet.
 Gocd Year Ahead Hemtzleman predicts an even larger timber cut for 1941 In addi- tion to increased local use of lumber, particularly cn defense projects in the Territory, Southeast Alaska mills expect to ship more airplane spruce lumber to the States.
 The total cut on the Tongass For est since 1909 is 1,058,000, 900 beard feet at a stumpage value of S1,634, GOO. The Chu2ach cut of 118,000,00 board feet within the same period was valued at ,800
 Ten per cent of all National For est receipts are expended by the For est Service for roads and trails with in the National Forests and an addi- ticnal 25 per cent is turned over tc the Territory for expenditure on public schools and roads.
