A BENEFIT TO ALASKA
* “In our opinion these two paper
mills we have in prospect will be
lj very beneficial to the Territory.
11 Each calls for an investment of
^ i'b ) t $10,000,000 at the start and !
^ this will be Increased to around j
$16,000,000 at the end of 10 years of I
s’ operation. The plants will operate
e 24 hours per day thruout the year, I
Sundays excepted. Each of them
will give employment to between j
s 500 and 600 men in the mill and in j
" the woods and should add around *
j2,000 persons to the population of
I the Territory. Their heavy freight I
e offering should result in better |
e j transportation facilities and lower
0 I rates. The chief resource on which
e |they are dependent—timber—will !
' i never become exhausted if forestry i
" measures are applied, so that the ,
a paper mill enterprises will be per
a manent fixtures in thd Territory.
NO DEPLETION
“I cannot see where the Territory i
s will lose anything that will off-set j
~ | the benefits gained from these .
' plants. All timber cutting is to be *
done under government supervision j
■so that the forests will not be d>
1 ;pleted; the government will charge
* and equitable price for the timber
and a portion of this is refunded 1
k jto the Territory; no monopoly on
timber is granted to one concern; i
the paper mills have no control j
over the land from which they cut |
i timber, so that settlement and min- i
ing cannot be blocked; and local |
industries, aside from paper mills j
that need timber or timber pro
i ducts, are wTelI provided for.
NEW ERA DEVELOPMENT
“In fact, I believe the establish- j
i ment of one or both of these mills j
i will be the first step in a new era j •
I of development on the southern -
! coast of Alaska. Once one or two : ’
mills have pioneered the industry j
in Alaska it should be much easier |
to obtain additional ones and if our '
| estimates are correct we can take *
care of the timber and power needs j
of a half dozen mills of the size now 1 I
in view'. One industry helps to at- |
tract others and I think within the j j
next 10 years we will see a very j
substantial increase in population
and wealth between Ketchikan and j
Sew'ard.”

STATEMENT OF TIMBER
USE POLICY, TONGASS
NATIONAL FOREST
REVISION OF 1928
The following is a condensed
statement of the main objectives
| and general policies which have
been establishd by the Forest
Service to govern the management
of the timber resources of the
Tongass National Forest. They
provide for a line of action that
will insure a continuous and ad
equate supply of timber to wood
| using plants installed in that re
gion which, in turn, will foster
the permanent development of
the Territory and allow of a
sustained Contribution to the
Nation’s demand for timber pro
ducts.
OBJECT OF MANAGEMENT
The management of the timber
resources of the Tongass National
Forest has as its prime objec
tives:
1. The development and main
tenance of a permanent pulp and
paper manufacturing industry
commensurate with available water
; power and timber resources.
2 -The furnishing of a per
: manent and convenient supply
j of timber for local consumption
: with such an additional supply
: to the local sawmill for the gen
i eral lumber markets as may be
i needed to justify efficient mill
: ing facilities and provide year
: long operations.
\ TIMBER USE POLICY
: 1. The productive forest land
■ will after examination and care
j'j ful study be divided into pulp
■ timber allotments, local use al
: lotments and general use areas.
: 2. Pulp timber allotments will
: be laid out as complementary I
■ to definite available water power!
: sites suitable for use in the man- j
■ ufacture of pulp. Each allotment j
: will include sufficient timberland j
: to supply a sustained annual |
j yield of timber equal to the mill —
capacity obtainable through a
full economic development of the
power site or sites to which the
! allotment is considered comple
| ment.
3. Local use allotments will be
laid out with consideration of the
suitability of the timber for the
more general local uses and of
accessibility to points of consump
tion, In determining their size,
consideration will be given to
the probable opportunities for the
local users to get material from
present or future sales on pulp
wood allotments, and consequent
ly the allotments need not in all
cases be so large as to supply
the entire estimated future local
demands. They will, however, be
