CHIEF FORESTER
SAYS FUTURE OF i
Col. W. B. Greeley, chief
U.. S. forester, who is at the
present time on the Alaska
coast, believes that with her
enormous forests of trees
species suitable for pulp, her
immense water power, and i
her tidewater shipment of'
manufactured products, the
territory of Alaska will un
doubtedly will become one of
the principal paper sources
of the United States. He be
lieves that tile time is now
ripe for extensive exploita
tion of Alaskan pulpwoods.
He points out that the de
mand for paper has increased
to an extent which makes it
possible for well organized
and adequately financed con
cerns to operate pulp and
paper mills on an extensive
scale, particularly for news
print paper.
Col. Greeley not only be
lieves that Alaska’s timber
resources should be develop
ed for pulp, but in putting
this belief and his confidence
in Alaska’s future into prac
tical form, by using all avail
able men and funds of the
forest service to see that the
pulp and paper industry may
know what Alaska has to
offer in National forest tim
ber and water power re
sources.
The chief forester takes
the position that the Nation
al forest timber of Alaska
has never been locked up,
and points out that for dur
ing the past ten years more
than half a billion feet of
sawtimber has been sold and
cut from the Alaska Nation
al forests, to help develop’
the territory. This timber has;
been used for such a wide
variety of uses as canneries, j
wharves, homes, stores, fish
traps, piling, boxes, fox
farms and whaling stations,
all used in Alaska. Govern
ment foresters say that con
servatively estimated the Na
tional forests of Alaska con
tain approximately 100,000,
;000 cords of timber suitable
: for the manufacture of news
print and other grades of
paper. Under careful man
agement they state that the
i forests can produce two mil
lion cords of pulpwood an
Inually for all time, or suf
|ficient to manufacture at
least one-third of the pulp
products now consumed in
;the United States. And by
jcareful management they
I mean conservative logging,
^complete use of all the mer
chantable contents of each
tree felled, care to see that
'the young trees and second
jgrowth timber are not un
inecessarily injured or de
stroyed when the mature
jtimber is taken out. “If this
is done, and with the ravor
able climatic conditions, the
National forests of Alaska
ishould continue to produce
Itimber forever, and her
igreen slopes should yield a
rich revenue for all time.”
Foresters claim that forest
ry is the growing of trees to
produce a crop of timber
jagain and again, only it must
; be remembered, they say,
j that tree growth is slow and
'annual crops cannot be har
jvested from the same land,
jbut by careful and conser
vative cutting, young timber
j will come in to take the
place of the old. Forestry is
pot like mining, which seeks
[■■j get as much out of the
ground in the shortest time
possible, and then the mine
is left cleaned out and with
out value for further mining.
Forestry is the careful man
agement of a forest so that
it will continue to produce a
return in timber and timber
products indefinitely, and re
turn thus a stable and per
manent revenue.
“Alaska needs stable and
permanent industries, and
pulp and paper plants are
both stable and permanent”
Colonel Greeley declares.
Former Baseman Is Suing !
Manager of Ball Team
Los Angeles, Sept. 2—An
action has been started in
the local courts in which
Babe Borton, former Vernon
1st. baseman, seeks to collect
the sum of $50,000 in libel
money from William Essick,
manager of the Vernon ball
team.
The suit is the outcome of
statements made by Essick
regarding the recent revela
tions of Borton's charges
that the Vernon players con
tributed to a fund to aid
them in winning last year’s
pennant.

Chairman White informed
the committee that he had
no evidence to sustain any of
Governor Cox’s charges con
cerning the Republican fund,
or quotas but he told Senat
or Kenyon that he knew the
charges must be true be
cause he had confidence in
the governor and felt that
he would not prefer charges
unless he knew them to be
true.
Treasurer Upham denied
under oath that he had not
seen or ordered such a list
of cities and quotas as shown
to the committee by Govern
or Cox.
Cox Insists
Columbus, Sept. 2—In a
statement made in this city
today, Governor Cox brand
ed as “absolutely false” the
statement of Hays before the
senate committee to the ef
fect that it is not the inten
tion of the Republicans to so
licit subscriptions in excess
of $1,000. The governor re
ferred again to what pur
ported to be an official docu
ment alleged to have been is
sued two days after Harding
! had been nominated, and
jdeclared that it showed that
• subscriptions were to be so
ilicited in excess of $5,000.
