TIMBER ON KOsCIUsKO
 ISLAND BEING PUT ON SALE

JUNEAU-The sale of 128,0O0,- GOO board feet of National Forest timber is being advertised soon by Regional Forester Frank Heintzle- man. of the Alaska Region, U. 5. Forest Service. The stand is locat- ed on Kosciusko Island, west of Ketchikan and consists of 63oo Sitka spruce and 379o western hemlock In order to log the tract of approximately 4,250 acres of merchantable timber, the success full bidder must construct 16 miles of road terminating at the boom ing grounds in Fisherman's liar bor. Bids specifying a minimum of S1.0O per thousand for hemlock and $2.00 per thousand for spruce will be opened in Juneau on June 10, 1947.
 The proposed sale area contains large quantity of high-grade Sit ka spruce now under attack by the Sitka spruce beetle, a tiny insect which kills trees by boring be- meath the bark and girdling them Although a 602o kill of approxi- mately one-third the stand has re- suited, with a lighter kill in the remainder, it is pointed out by the Regional Forester that the insect killed trees are still quite sound and no heavy scale loss should oc- cur if the infested timber is sal vaged within the next five or six years. No known damage to heart wood of dead timber by wood-bor. ing insects has ever been noted in Southeast Alaska
 Included among the conditions of the sale is the requirement. tn | primary manufacture of the logs must be accomplished in Alaska The sale contract will also specify an annual production of not less than 20 NM feet, and not more than 25 NM feet, and will pro | hibit the establishment of a new mill on the Tongass National nr- est. According to the Service, the existing sawmills in Southeast Alaska can utilize the entire oui- put. The timber on the Tonguss forest is primarily suited for pulp and paper production and because of the limited supply of stric y lsawtimber stands, the installati,r of another large mill or the export of any large proportion of the tim Der from this sale area would re- suit in shortening the life of ,he present mills and force them to use smaller. lower-grade logs with a smaller percentage of higher. grade lumber. The maximum yearly cut is established so that 1 'he normal market for existing loggers will not be upset. A mum her of local sawmills and logging
 oNcerns have expressed an inter- 1 est in the sale.

establish their homes here. That means our school will Asve to be enlarged. As Supt George Fab Iricius pointed out at a recent Council meeting, the school now is over-erowded by about a hundred students. Glasses are being held in the science room, the home econ omic room. and even in the store room. Something drastic will have to be done New homes and apart ments are needed The mill, itself. is planning some construction to house it's employees, but much more is needed.
 Probably not in it's history has the future of Wmngell looked brighter. An example of the mills value to the town can be shown in the fight Juneau and Ketchikan put up to get it. The Alaska De velopment Board did much to bring it to Wrangell.
 For many years Wrangell was a two-industry town fishing and trapping The addition of any in- dustry adds to the prosperity of the town and it's stability.
 As we pointed out to MT. Wag- Ter during our trip through the mill, it is too bad that every citi- zen of Wrangell can't go through the mill Seeing the steam and smoke, and hearing the hum of te saws from a distance doesn't .eeDpciallv impress one. It's only " hen you walk through it and see the top-speed activity, construction and remodeling that realization of it's bigness fully dawns. You come away feeling pretty fine and saying to yourself:
 Boy, what a great thing for Wrangell!"

Wrangell's sawmill

Over one hundred men are now employed in Wrangell's Alaska Asiatic Lumber mill Many ot them are local residents, but many more have come in from Juneau and from the Outside, making sizeable payroll for the town.
 This week, Tuesday afternoon 0 be exact, the firt pile was drFven for the new 110x120 planer build ing which will rise from what was once a fill-in of old slab piles. It will be the biggest building Wran- geIl ever saw and will house the planer plant. Clearing k going on and the steel work has arrived for the dry kiln building which will be erected by the planeT plant.
 As rapidly as possible space is being made for the big boilers which will drive the I,500 h.p. steam turbine which will gen crate power for the mill and the equipment which will make Wran- gell's sawmilI the largest in, Al aska is all here - waiting to be luSldl4Su.
 Going through the mill is eXcit- ing Jas well as a revelation. The scream of the saws, thump of the lumber and steady rattle of the conveyor carrying waste to the biz burner gives the operation big time" aspect. Later this waste wifi be waste no more, for it will be ground up and fed to the boilers which will produce the power to run the mill But besides all oi this is the sound of pounding, the machine gun-like staccato chatter of "a cement breaker which is ras' tearing down old construction sc the new can rise.
 Wrangell's mill is the only saw. mill operating in the Territory al the present time.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1947-03-07

'sThey told me 1 couldn't cul lumber in this weather Mr Fred ". Wagner, owner of the sawmill said. "but we're doing it.'
 Out on the old Burnett deck WrangelTs longshoremen are work ing night and day unloading ana reloading a huge barge It brought up the mill machinery and is re- turning south with a quarter mil lion feet of spruce peeler logs to be made into plywood.
 The dock is being enlarged to accommodate increasingly large stacks of lumber awaiting ship ment.
 At another place men are cut ting lumber which will go into the planer and dry kiln buildings. This construction is under diree- ton of Walter Stutte, who told this reporter he had already brought 12 men from Juneau 10 work and by the time actual con- struction starts, he will have 10 men imported for the job. An in teresting angle is that in all the construction of the buildings most of the work is being done on the ground That is, braces, studding, etc, are cut to exact length and measurement and even the nails are driven part way in so that when actual eerection of the build ings is commenced, they will go up in finished sections, much as pre- fabricated houses are nailed and bolted together.
 In spite of all the new cOnstruc- tion going on, and the tearing down of old, saving lumber goes on at top speed A shipment oi 12x12's and other miscellaneous pieces are due out of here on the Tongass to be used on the Haines cutoff. The Tongass is making a special trip into Wrangell to pick them up.
 Down near the feEced-in mil yard new office buildings have i been put up and will be occupied as soon as the interior paint and refiniShing dries.
 The ordinary Wrangell resident like ourselves, can't begin to real ize just what Wrangell's new mil l is going to mean to the town un- i til he goes through it. It is some thing bigger than Wrangell ha. ever seen. Every ounce of cooper ation should go from the town Fl to the mills expansion for, al though it may not help Us as in. diyiduals, what promotes the pros perity of the town as a whole, i, bound to help us in the long run.
 New people are coming in ever! week. Men working in the mil want to bring in their families ant

Lower River Irrigated
Area viii Be Doubled

The irrigated acreage in river
basins of Oregon and. Washington
tributary to the Columbia River
between Pasco and Bonneville
Dam will be more than doubled,
and power production would be
increased four times under the
Department of the Interiors COM
prehensive plan for development
of water and land resources of the
area. The report, covering the
entire drainage basin of the Co.
lumbar, which was prepared by
the Bureau of Reclamation, was
made public last week. .:
Potential irrigation develop
ments listed in the document
would bring under irrigation
about 100000 acres of new land
and provide supplemental water
supply for $4,000 acres now suf-
fering shortages. The ultimate
navigation development of the Co

states. These would create slack
water navigation up to the mouth
of the Snake River.
AS the Bureau advances its
planning investigations, projects
other than those listed may be
included and some now named
may be eliminated. Considerable
additional study is necessary on
most of the proposed develop
ments. ..a

Future developments on the main
stem of the Columbia would irri-
