BUREAU PITS
ROSY PCTIIRE
OF CHUGACH
The following Information 1b fur
nished by the Forest 8ervlce from Its
Portland office.
The area of the Chugach Forest Is
reduced by over five million acres, ac
cording to advice just received. Elim
inated area includes glaciers and other
areas of little practical timber value,
orginally included in Forest on ac
count of the uncertainty of exact lo
cation of valuable tlmeber lands.!
Present boundaries of the Chugach
Forest which includes now eight mil-^
lion acres, said to include large body ’
of timber to be used in developing;
whole region Northern Alaska.
Word has just been received in the (
Office of the District Forrester that;
the President has approved the recom-|
mendatlon of the Forest Service
changing the boundaries of the Chu-J
gach Notional Forrest In Alaska by
proclamation of August 2. The new
proclamation effects an elmlnation of
5,801,674 acres of land and 661,094
acres of water. The Forest boundary
lines were changed not only by mak
ing eimtnatlonb but by making three
additions to the Chugach Forest. One
occurs on the Kenai Peninsula, north
of the city of Seward, another In the
Puget Bay region, and the third Oka
lee Spit and other areas in that vicini
ty. These additions were made in
order to include good body of timber
and to make workable administrative
boundary lines.
The lands eliminated conslts mainly
of glaciated mountains and muskeg
areas of practically no forest value
but which were originally included
within the National Forest because
of the uncertainty which existed as to
the location and extent of the timber
ed areas and in order to establish a
boundary that could be more easily
described and administered.
The toal area of the Chugach Forest
is now approximately 5,817,959 acres
of land and 3,058,073 acres of water,
•making a totaj of 8,876,C|33 acres.
The present proclamation, it is stated,
put the boundary lines of the Chu
gach Forest about where they belong.
This Forest is one of the largest and
most valuable bodies of timber of
merchantable size to be found any
where on the globe north of sixty de
I .
gress latitude. Owing to the more
rlgoious climate, the timber Is sma'ler
in size and yield than, for instance, In
ihe Forests of SoiMheastem Alaska.
However, it runs from 3,500 to 5,000
feet per ^cre, and In some plaees as
high as 30,000 to 50,000 feet. The
total amount of timber now In the
Forest Is reported to be about elgh'
billion feet on a conservative estimate,
and it is believed 'hat this body of
timber will be the principal and most
accessible source of lumber for the
development of the entire vast region
of Northern Alaska. From thefe for
ests, the Interior country mu9t draw
its supply of structural timber in the
future. This timber is even now used
locally, 196 sales having been con
summated since 1907, involving over
17.000. 000 ft. B. M„ in addition to the
large amount which has been supplied
free to local settlers, prospectors, fish
ermen and others. Exclusive of the
panhandle, the area of Alaska Is about
300.000. 000 acres, less than two per
cent of which Is to be retained within
the Chugaeh National Forest to sup
ply timber for this vast region.
The Forest will be drawn upon im
mediatly for railroad construction by
co-operation between the Forest Ser
vice and the Alaska Railroad Com
mission, the timber being supplied
free of charge to the Alaska Railroad
as authorized by Congress.
