RECORD TIMBER CUT MADE IN 47, NATIONAL FOREST - Annual Report on S. E. Al- < aska Cut by Regional Forester Heinizleman cut of National Fores made in the rests of Fore A record timber was from the National Fc according onal nk Heintzl It amounted to 3,663,000 board fest on the two ional Forests, of which over 83 million were cut on. the, Tongass in Southeast Alaska. The total cut of the previous year was 54,390,000 board feet The money reccived by the Gov- ernment stumpage for the com- mercial timber cut in 1947 is $142,- The Terri receives 25 per of this money for schools and and trails on the Alaska For- € The Regional Forester believes that the total cut in 1948 will ex- cced 100 million board feet with a stumpage value of $200,000. Records ! that S in the Regional Office show 1,634.000,000 board feet of timber having a stumpage value of $2,500,- 000 have been cut on the Alaska National Forests since their crea- t in 1909, Largest Sale to JSC The largest sale of the past ye was made to the Juneau Spru Corporation and covered 128 million feet of timber on Kosciusko Island A valuable stand of Sitka spruce had become infested with a species of bark teetle, and salvage operations were necessary. The contract. calls for completion of logging within six vears. Logging activities on the two National Forests furnished employ- ment to an estimated 500 men in the woods, divided among 47 camps Ten sawmills employed an addition- | al 400 men. The largest mill at the present time is the Co ation which operates two shifts and cuts 180,000 feet of lum- ber daily. The shipment of logs from the National Forests of Alaska for man- ufacture outside the Territory is prohibited except for special pur- poses. Two rafts containing one million feet of mixed hemlock and spruce logs were allowed to be ship- ped to Bellingham, Wash., last year as experimental material to deter- mine the pulping qualities of Al- aska woods. The resulting products were found to be highly satisfactory. Telephione poles were also shipped trom Wrangell to the extent of 50,- 000 linear feet to determine the feasibility of building up a market , of ' jormer Juneau Spruce . |in continental United States for Al- aska poles. For Pulp Mills Efforts to bring pulp mills to the st were continued and taken during the establishment ustry. The Re- Forester s] t two months in Washington and other cities of the country largely on pulp mill busi- and during that time contracts were prepared and sale advertise- ments startad for cutting rights on the Na al Forests for two large pulptimber units, each embracing 1,- 500,000,000 cubic feet of timber and covering a cutting period of 50 years One uni® is located in the vicinity Petercburg and the other near K:tchikan, The sale advertisements were placed in national trade publi- cations and local newspapers. Bids on the two sales are to be consid- ered on February 18 and April 14 respectively Private Party Perr The use of National Forest land by private parties continues to in- crease. Three hundred sixty-five special us2 permits were issued dur- ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 1947, and the total number in ef- iect was 1480, of which over 400 are free cha The total area in use by permittecs is over 83,000 acres The most popular class of use is as csidences and summer homes, 513 1 permits being in effect. Home- follow with 231 permits. Hun- dreds of tracts for homesites, ca. ncries S, wmills, homesteads and other f of land use have been eliminated from the National Forests by the Forest Service to pomit em to be patented by the permittees. steps expedite the s important of resor Groups oy Homesitcs iroups of homesites are laid out in the vicin of cities and towns in advance of demand. Spur roads are then constructed by the Forest Service to serve these groups. I'wo such roads were built in 1947, one of 1.3 miles at Point Higgins, near Ketchikan, and the other of 1.1 miles on Mendenhall Peninsula at Juneau. These roads will open lands new homesites. No funds for construction work on the Na- onal Forest Highway .system were ade available to the Forest Service by Congress in 1947, but sufficient allotments for such funds are ex- ted early in 1948 to permit of re- ing the bridge on the loop road 1car Mendenhall Glacier which has een closed for some time as un- saf2; also for reconditioning the por- tion the Tongass Highway be- yond Bugge Beach south of Ketchi- kan. Funds for the redecking of the Douglas Bridge are also expected to be made available soon. - NOTICE We will not be responsible for 1y debts contracted by any person sther than ourselves.
