Sitka is figured at 15,800,000,000 board feet, or 20 per cent of all the standing timber in the area; west- ern hemlock totals 58,000,000,000 feet, or 74 per cent; and western ted cedar and Alaska yellow cedar 2,350,000,000 feet each, or 3 per- cent each. Pictures of Sawmills Pictures of sawmills at Juneau, Ketchikan and Wrangell, and of the Seattle sales depot of the mills illustrate the article. Attention is called to the fact that climatic conditions are favor- able to all-year logging and saw- mill operations, and that because spruce in this part of the Temtory' the pulp and paper industry and two large plants are projected for Juneau and Ketchikan. Excellent water sites are available and these can be developed at a minimum cost. The timber is easily accessible and can be logged cheaply. Water- ways and harbors are navigable 12 mdhths of the year and provide an outlet to the world's markets." In speaking of the sawmills of the region, the Timberman says: Total of 15 Mills “There are about 15 sawmills, only three of which participate in ex- port markets, the remainder being of small or portable type, catering |to the local requirements of their districts. The combined capacity of the three large mills will exceed 250,000 per 8-hour shift, manufac- turing about 75 per cent Sitka spruce and 25 per cent western. |hemlock. Approximately 50 per cent of the lumber is manufactured into salmon boxes, and fresh fish boxes for the halibut trade. Most of the upper grades of lumber are exported to the world’s markets and the balance of the log is conferted into yard lumber for-the Alaska trade, also railroad ties for the Alaska Railroad. The increasing use of Alaska hemlock is a notable factor, particularly for use in edge grain flooring, ties and general construc- tion. Its strength compares fav- orably with the competing woods and. excellent results are being ob- tained by the railroad from the hemlock ties. | Spruce Is Well-Known “The clear spruce is well known ONDAY, NOV. 10, 1930. g m— U. 8.

The pressure is low from the Gulf of Alaska to British Co- lumbia and is high in Western Alaska and the Pacific States. It is Rain has fallen in Southeastern and firmly established in the world’s Alaska and snow in the Interior has been followed by" clearing and of the relatively high humidity and heavy rainfall, forest fire risk is negligible. “Practically all the timber land, comprising about 16,000,000 acres, is lincluded in the national forest sys- tem and operated by the federal government, with B. F. Heintzle- Iman, assistant district: forester of Juneau, in charge,” says the article. “The timber is cruised and then sold, by the usual form of sealed !tenders, to the highest bidder. Stumpage prices vary from $1 to $250 per thousand depending on location, species and quality. Most of the merchantable trees are from two to four feet in diameter and from 90 to 140 feet in height. The average stand per acre approxi- mates 25000 feet, but stands of 50,000 feet are not-uncommon. Ap- proximately 75 per cent of the com- mercial timber is within two and a half miles of tidewater.” | Cost of Saw Logs The average cost of saw logs, de- livered to the mills, exclusive of stumpage, is figured at $9 per thousand, and mention is made of floating logging camps which can |be easily towed from one area.to 'another. Boutheast Alaska, continues - the artiele, “embodies unusually favor- lable conditions for exploitation of | i market and shipments now go to all parts of the United States, Canada, South America, United Kingdom, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, and Australia. The most general uses for Alaska spruce in the clear grades. include airplanes, boat lum- ber, oars and paddles, omnibus con- struction, musical instruments, lad- jders, wood rolls, garage doors, re- frigerators, masts, spars and table tops. Tt commands good prices due to its fine, even texture, and light color. In 1929, the mills were un- able to supply their ever-increasing trade.” Juneau Mills Described Speaking particularly of the Ju- ‘neau Lumber Mills, the Timberman |says: | “The Juneau Lumber Mills is the largest sawmill in Alaska, with a capacity of 100,000 feet per 8-hour ighift. It was established in 1898. |Roy Rutherford is manager and |President. He is also the principal |owner of the Independent Lumber Company of Fairbanks, one of the |farthest north operations on the continent. The Juneau mill caters to the box trade for the Alaska fishing industry, also to the gener- al yard trade throughout the Terri- tory. ‘The upper grades in spruce are shipped to Seattle for export. | o o ‘THE WAR IN BRIEF -,":\’ 1914 % * Aug. 4—Britain at war with Germany. ¥ Aug. 20—Brussels occupied.

Thirty-five men are employed by the logging company. A. E. Owens is its president and manager and Mr. Rutherford its treasurer.” Plant at Ketchikan The Timberman describes the mill at Ketchikan, saying: . “The Ketchikan Spruce Mills w: built in 1903 by H. E. Burkhardt, and taken over by J. J. Daly in 1906. Since his death, it has been operated by his two sons Eldor J.“‘ Daly, president and general mana- ger, and Milton J. Daly, secretary and assistant maneger. The mill] was entirely rebuilt in 1924, an comprises one of the miost modern/ electrically operated units on the Pacific Coast. Its capacity is 100,- 000 feet per 8-hour shift. The boyi factory has a capacity of 50,000 feet per day. The mill normally op= erated 10 months per year, and in| addition to the box business caters| to the Alaska yard trade. ‘| “The MacDonald Logging Com- peny is a subsidiary of the Ketchi- ! kan Spruce Mills, and supplies the mill with approximately 60 per cent of its logs. C. P. MacDonald is the logging company’s manager. Enterprise at Wrangell The Wrangell Lumber and Box Company, Inc., is described as fol- lows: “The Mill was built in 1888 and operated under the name of Wil- son, Syllvester and Company until 1906. Upon the death of the own- ers‘and untfl 1912, it was operated under jurisdiction of the district court of Alaska, after which a new company was organized with H. Gartley as president. The plant was burned in 1918. Mr. Gartley reconstructed the plant and en- larged its capacity. Its name was changed to the Wrangell Lumber and Power Company. Mr. Gartley died in 1926 and the comipany was reorganized under the name of the ‘Wrangell: Lumber. and Box Com- pany, with N. Nussbaumer in charge. The mill ‘has' a capacity of 65,000 feet per 8-hour shift, and the box factory of 45,000 feet. The product is sold principally within the Territory, catering especially to cannery orders, salmon box shooks and general building ma- terial.” Speaking of the sales agency the Timberman sdys: “Sales for the three mills have | been handled by the Northwest Spruce Company, 468 Stuart Bulld- ing, Seattle for the past seven years. The distributing yard is at Smith Cove Terminals, Pier 41, Se- attle. Sales extend to the world’s markets, where the ‘NS Arrow’ is becoming well known. ‘The con- cern is well represented throughout domestic and European markets.” : - . e — Re: COURTS OF THE JUNEAU TENNIS CLUB Children have recently been breaking into and damaging the courts of the club adjacent to Gold Creek, the persons doing the damage being known. , The courts are closed for the winter and are private property and can only be used for tennis; persons continuing to break into thé courts can be punished under the law but it is hoped such action will be unnecessary and this notice §s simply a request that parents inform their children that the courts must not be broken into or damaged in Any way.

W. Council made 75 straight at the shoot of the Ju- neau Gun Club yesterday. Council and Mort Truesdell first broke 50 straight and then shot it out. Truesdell missed his 66th and 73rd targets but Council made his 75 straight. Morris missed 2 out of the 75 and thus tied with Trues- dell. Dr. Council is going to try and continue his run next Sunday to beat his former record of 128. He must break 75 more to get free shells and targets which the club |is giving to anyone beating their |former records in round numbers of 25. Guy McNaughton won free shells and targets a week ago last Sunday. A new feature for the shoot next Sunday is the Red Bird event. This always causes plenty of amuse- ment among the fans. There will be two Red Birds thrown in at every squad, time unknown to the shooters. If the shooter breaks the birds he receives 25 ‘cents for each Red Bird. On Sunday, November 23, the 50-turkey shoot will be staged. At the shooting yesterday two new scattergun artists showed up, Hyler and Swemm.
