forester Reports
On Year’s Work
A cut of 93,663,000 board feet
of timber was made from Alas
ka’s two national forests during
ffte past year. Forester B. Frank
Heintzleman reported from Ju
neau recently. Over 83,000,000
feet were taken from the Ton
gass alone. Government stump
age fees on the cut amounted to
$142,235, a quarter of which
goes to Alaska’s schools and to
roads and trails through nation
al forests.
Largest sale of the year was
made to the Juneau Spruce
Corp., which was given a six
^year contract to log 128,000,000
feet of Sitka spruce on Kosci
usko island. Logging activities
in the two forests gave employ
ment to 500 men in 47 camps
and to 400 men working in 10
sawmills.
Two shipments of national
forest timber, prohibited except
iS special instances, went out to
the states in 1947. Alaskan
spruce and hemlock went to
Bellingham, Wash., where ex
periments proved that Alaskan
pulp is highly satisfactory. A
shipment of cedar from Wrangell
was sent to the states for use as
telephone poles.
Use of national forest land by
, private individuals is increasing,
Mr. Heintzleman declared. Three
hundred and sixty-five use per
mits were issued last year, to
bring the final total to 1,480.
Most permits were granted to
Alaskans wishing to establish
residences and summer homes
on national forest lands.
