LOGGING OPERATIONS
SURVEY TRIP MADE
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Larry Zach of the Alaska Forest
Research Center has returned from
p, joint Forest Service and pulp in
dustry survey trip covering some of
the northern British Columbia log
ling operations.
Forest Service personnel besides
Zach included C. M. Archbold
and Ivan H Jones of the Southern
Division at Ketchikan and Art
Thompson, skipper of the Forest
Service vessel, the Forester Puget
Sound Pulp and Timber Co. men
included Carl Salin and Bill Cat
lo. John Beach of Rayonier Inc.
also made part of the survey trip.
Rayonier Inc. is the largest wood
pulp cellulose producing company in
the world with offices in New Yo'k
City and plants in Shelton, Koq
uiqm and Port Angeles, Washington
and r ernandina, Florida.
The northernmost British Colum
bia operation in Khutzezmateen In
let off Portland Canal is only 70
airline miles southeast of Ketchi
kan. Operating conditions are very
similar to Alaska with logging en
tirely carried out by donkey yard
ing and swinging.
Flat rafts are used to transport
the logs to the new Columbia Cell
ulose Co. plant near Prince Rupert.
Logs from the company's Terrace
operation on the Skeena River are
presently feeding thus mill. A 90
mile railroad haul is required. Large
operations were seen on Graham
and Moresby Islands with very
good utilization of the timber
stand.
Excellent camps and equipment
are operating to supply the Cana
dian mills at Ocean Falls and Pow
ell River.
On Graham Island a unique sys
tem of bundling logs was observed.
This system was developed by the
operator to allow the towing of
logs from the exposed shores of
Hecate Strait where storms and
ocean swell would make logging
impossible. It appears the system
should have wide application in
Southeast Alaska logging since it
I eliminates the loss of "sinkers,” al
: lows towing in water too rough
for flat rafts and is much cheaper
^han "rib rafting.

ALASKA'S GREATEST NEED:
More
Population
Today THERE are some 130,000 men, women and children
living in Alaska-an area covering 586,400 square miles.
The Territory’s population is 0.21 persons per square mile. In
the continental United States, the average is 50 persons per^
square mile. *
To grow and prosper as it should, Alaska needs thousands oj
new residents.
The answer to this problem is new, diversified industries.
Historically the Alaska salmon industry—unfortunately a seasonal
enterprise because of extremely short periods when the runs of
salmon occur—has been the Territory’s largest and its heaviest
taxpayer.
Nature dictates when salmon can he caught and processed.
This month, jor example, the industry’s activity is concentrated in
Bristol Bay. 1
k It would be to the advantage of everyone in Alaska and this
Industry if others came to the Territory and helped develop this
great country. This is well worth encouraging and fighting for.
