1940 ALASKA TIMBER
CUT SHOWS GAIN
The timber cut on the National
Forests of Alaska during 1940
'exce ded that of 1939, according
to an announcement by Regional
Forester B. F. Heintz’eman.
The increase on the Tongass
Forest was due principally to the
demand for lumber occassion:d
by the defense program in var
ious parts of the Territory. Two
iestablished mills in Southeast A1
aska opened new lumber yards at
Anchorage and Fairbanks to fac
ilitate the marketing of their out
put.
The timber cut from the Ton
gass Forest was 28,500,000 board
feet of sawtimber and 400,000
lnear feet of pling—a total of
nearly 31,000,000 board feet. This
does not include the timber cut
under free use privileges by resi
dents, settlers, miners and others.
The cut on the Ghugach Forest
during 1940 also showed a satis
factory increase in sawtimber,
piling and ties. This amounted
to 2,000,000 board feet.
Good Year Ahead
Heintzleman predicts an even
larger timber cut for 1941. In
addition to increased local us? of
lumber, paticularly on defense
projects in the territory, South
east Alaska mills expect to ship
more airplane spruce lumber to
the States.
The total cut on the Tongass'
Forest since 1909 is 1,058,000,000,
board feet at a stumpage value j
of $1,634,000. The Chugach cut of
118,000.000 board feet within the
same period was valued at $178.-1
800.
Ten per cent of all National
Forest rec-'ipts are expended by
the Forest Service for roads and
trails within the National For
ests and an additional 25 percent j
is turned over to the Territory
for expenditure on public schools
and roads.
The card party, the first of the
season of the Pioneer series held
last evening in the IOOF Hall
1 after the business meeting of the
Igloowas a decided success. The
; attendance was greater than an
jticipated. The K. P. was raided
j but not discharged as they prom
ised to have more food on hand
next time. The spirit and en
thusiasm of the players was ex
hilarating. The winners of the
games were: Ladies, Mrs. H. G.
Miller, first, Mrs. Krabler, sec
ond, and Mrs. Ole Hay, Consol
ation. Men: first Carl Lindell, sec
ond Geo. Modini and Consolation
Dave Gray.
The committee promises a com
plete change of program and
many new features to follow. If
you have missed this one be sure
and save the date, February 27th.
