LOCAL TIMBER
FROM RESERVE
The Chugaeh National Forest, the
headquarters of which are located ^t
Cordova, includes within its boundar
ies about five and a quarter million
acres of land, extending in a narrow
strip along the coast from Cape
Suckling on the east to Cook Inlet on
the west, including also, as an isolated
unit, Afognak Island near Kodiak.
The forest is estimated to contain
eight and a half billion feet of mer
chantable timber, principally spruce
and hemlock, of only fair quality for
lumber. Besides the two predominat
ing species mentioned above is to be
found in small quantities birch, cot
tonwood and yellow cedar.
Timber for any purpose may be
purchased from the government at a
minimum stumpage rate for saw tim
ber of $1.00 per M. B. feet for hemlock
and $1.50 for spruce; piling, any spe
f cies, at from 3-4c to l%c per linear
foot according to size; cordwood 25c
per cord; mining timbers, railroad
ties, poles, and other products at pro
portional rates. No charge is made
for timber for personal use of pros
pectors, settlers, campers, nor for the
development of mines up to the time
they become commercial producers.
Practically all of the native lumber
used in the Prince William Sound
region is secured from the Chugaeh
National Forest and manufactured in
to lumber by the sawmills located at
Cordova, Sheep Bay and Latouche.
Piling for docks, canneries, fish traps,
and similar purposes is likewise se
cured from the forest. Practically all
of the railroad ties used by the Cop
per River & Northwestern railroad,
, as well as by the government railroad
— to the westward, come from the same
— source.
f During the year 1919 the local for
\ est office made 105 timber sales cov
: eding 7,200,120 board feet of timber,
: the receipts from which aggregated
; $11,943.89, of which sum 35 per cent
l was turned over to the Territory for
: school and road purposes. Indications
; point to a substantial increase in tim
: her sale business during 1920.
: The government regulations are
: such that areas within the National
[ forest may be secured for any legi
: timate purpose at nominal rentals and
: under liberal terms. In fact, the for
i est service is exerting itself to at
i -—..
tract capital, and every facility is af
forded for the establishing of indus
tries within the forest*
At the present time about 200 indi
viduals and firms are conducting bus
iness operations of various kinds
within the Chugach forest on sites
rented from the' government and held
under special use permits. The fol
lowing list indicates the number and
extent of these operations:

During the past year the govern
ment has conducted a persistent cam
paign to interest capital in the pulp
possibilities of Alaska. So far as the
funds would permit reconnaissance
work has been undertaken to assemdle
reliable data on available stands of
!
timber, water power, suitable sites,
etc. Prospects for the early develop
ment of this industry in Southeastern
Alaska are bright, and the time is not
far distant when the great bodies of
| timber and the undeveloped water
! power resources of Prince William
! Sound will attract the pulp interests.
I In the region of Prince William
Sound, tributary to Cordova, the for
| est services estimates that there is
approximately three billion board feet
i of timber suitable for paper pulp,
i This is equivalent, roughly, to 75,
; 000,000 tons of pulp.
| While there is known to exist a
great amount of undeveloped water
power in this region, no reliable da
ta, especially as to winter stream
flow, is available, but there is no
question but that sufficient water
power could be found on the Sound for
the operation of pulp mills.
In the transaction of forest service
business, delay and red tape are re
duced to the minimum. The work
is handled exclusively by practical
men whc are on the ground and who
1'i‘cw conditions.
The lighthouse tender Ceder lost
her port anchor while off Lincoln
Point, recently. It was lost when the
vessel was preparing to get under
way.
