A number of areas suitable for pulp op- erations have been cruised and pre- pared for sale; and during the com- ing summer the survey of pulpwoods will be extended in order that other desirable tracts may be brought to the attention of manutacturers. Promising developments in paper manufacture, in fact, are now pend- ing. The forest service has also in- vestigated stieam flow in cooperation with the geological survey, and has collected data of value to engineers in planning power developments.

The National Forests of Al- aska probably contain 100,000,000 cords of timber suitable for the man- ufacture of newsprint and other grades of paper. Under careful man- agement, these forests can produce 2,000,000 cords of pulpwood annually for all time, or enough to manufac- ture one third of the pulp products now consumed in the United States. The Alaskan Forests, according to Secretary Meredith, also contain-the second chief essential of a paper man- ufacturing industry—water power.
