TIMBER SUPPLY IN TERRITORY
FOR 20 LARGE PAPER MILLS IS
ASSERTED BY CHIEF FORRESTER
(From Juneau Empire)
Col. W. B. Greeley, of Washington.
D. C., Chief forester of the United
S||Hes accompanied by George H. Ce
cil, district forester for the North
Pacific dictriet, with headquarters at
- Portland, Oregon Capt. John D. Guth
rie, also of Portland, in charge of
public relations educational and pub
licity work for the forestry bureau for
the Northwest, and B. F. Beezley, lo
coating engineer in the road building
branch of the forestry bureau for the
North Pacific district, arrived in Jun
eau Saturday on the forestry bureau
boat Tahn, and will remain in the city
ior two or three days. Thev are ac
companied by Superintendent O. II
l^ory, of the Alaskan forests. Col.
Greeley is here to become familiar
with conditions surrounding the na
tional forests of Alaska, with the pur
pose in view of promoting and foster
ing development in every way possi
ble. The development of the pulp
and paper manufacturing industry and
the water power of Southeastern Alas
ka are the propositions of greatest
present concern. The construct ion uf
roads and other activities are also
being considered.
“It is the purpose of the forestry
service to make the forestry bureau
as serviceable as it is possible to do
so in the development of Alaska,” said
« -Col. Greeley, “in all of the lines of
work that come within its jurisdic
tion.”
SUPPLY 20 LARGE MILLS
It is estimated by the forestry bu
reau, said Col. Greeley, that the na
tional forests of Alaska can supply
timber for making 2,000000 tons of
paper annually without depletion. That
is about one-half of the present con
sumption of the United States. It
means that the forests of this section
are able to yield timber to keep 20
or more large paper mills running con
tinuously. The growth of the new tim
ber would be sufficient to replace
that which is cut in the industry.
To secure this development the
forestry bureau must not only make
a contract for the supply of timber
•that will be attractive to capital, but
it will be necessary to provide an at
tractive lease on water power sites,
said" Col. Greeley. That means that
people must be permitted to acquire
water power facilities and have their
right protected where they cannot use
all the available water supply in the
early stages of the development of a
■business. In other words, persons
and companies who develop water
power must be permitted to have in
reserve water rights to permit of fu
ture development. Many companies
will want to start in a small way, and
they will want to know that they will
liave the water power in reserve to
^permit of growth.
• While the administration of the
water power resources of the United
States has been placed under the con
trol of the newly organized water
power commission, under the water
power bill that was signed by the
president in June, this commission has
so many problems to consider that
it is likely that the forestry bureau
will be depended upon to arrange the
details for the administration of the
new law within the national forests
for several years. Already a working,
I
agreement between the water power |
commission and the forestry bureau
is being arranged. Col. Merrill, for
merly in charge of the water power
branch of the forestry bureau, and
familiar with the bureau’s organiza
tion, has been made executive secre
tary of the water power commission.
SCENIC HIGHWAYS
It is the purpose of the forestry
bureau, in locating roads in Alaska,
to keep the scenic attractions in mind
as well as the development of the ma
terial resources. It contends that
tourist traffic is not to be lost sight
of in the development of the country.
In this connection it is proposed
to change the name of the Juneau
Eagle River road to the Glacier High
way. This road leading out of Jun
eau which it is proposed eventually
to extend to Berner’s Bay will one of
these days become famous for its
scenic beauties according to the be
lief of Col. Greeley, Superintendent
Flory and the other authorities of the
bureau. The fact that the road will
pass and provide excellent views of
the Lemon creek, Mendenhall glacier,
and of the Herbert and Eagle glaciers
justify, according to Mr. Flory, the
name Glacier Highway, and he be
lieves the name will make the road
far more attractive to tourists than
the present name of Juneau-Eagle
River road.
“The question has been asked,
‘What’s in a name,’” said Mr. Flory.
“But the appeal to tourists and lovers
of scenery in the names of the Sunset
Highway, Apple Highway, Pacific
Highway, Olympic Highway, and
others have proved that there is a lot
in the name when it is applied to a
road with attractive scenery along its
course” said Mr. Flory.
MAKE TRIP TO AUK LAKE
Col. Greeley and party made the
trip in automobiles to Auk Lake and
Mendenhall Glacier. Col. Greeley is
enthusiastic over the views along the
road. He said last night that from a
scenic standpoint the road is one of
the most wonderful in the world.
It is not the purpose, of course, to
sacrifice industrial development and
settlement in road building in consid
ering the scenic attractions along the
routes of roads in Alaska. The Gla
cier Highway will be as useful to the
mining interests at Auk Bay, Eagle
River and Berner’s Bay and to the agri
cultural interests who are settling the
Mendenhall and Eagle River sections
as would a road by any other name.
