Practically all of the money allotted
to the Chugach forest is spent lo
cally; that is, at the settlement with

port just compiled by the office of
the Chugach national forest for the
fiscal year ended June 30, the timber
sale business of the forest shows a
healthy increase- During the year
the service made 112 individual tim
ber sales covering the equivalent of
6.138,070 board feet of timber having
a stumpage value of $10,543.91. Much
of this timber was in the form of pil
ing, trap poles, railroad ties, mining
timbers, etc. In addition to these
I
commercial sales, there was taken
under free use permits by the Alas
kan engineering commission, the war
department and the bureau of public

board feet having a stumpage value of
$6,419.00.

5,349,650 board fett valued at $9001.35.
Up to the present season nine for
est fires have been reported as oc
curring in the Chugach national for
est, all of which were along the right
of way of the government railroad
between Seward and Anchorage. A
total of 258 acres were burned over,
but as all the fires occurred in brush
and grass lands no particular damage
was done. In order to prevent, so far
as possible, fires along the right of
way of the railroad, the Alaskan engi

pleted equipping all locomotives and
steam shovels with spark arresters.
