The United States Forest Ser
vice has issued the following
bulletin:
1 Washington, l) C., July 3.—
IVids have just been, received by
the Forest Service for 300 mil
lion feet of timber which has
been advertised for sale on the
Tongass National Forcrff in
Alaska, and <^u additional 300
million feel from the forest has
been applied for. A large part
of this timber is Sitka spruce,
which will be made into paper
pulp not only for the Pacific
Coast and the Orient, but for the
general pulp market.
The latest estimates of the
Forest. Service available show
that there is a stand of approxi
mately 70 billion feet on the
Tongass national forest in Alas
ka. Recent investigations have
shown this amount to be very
much larger than supposed.
The Alaskan forests, according
to Bureau cpcperis, contain ap
proximately one-sixth of the to
tal stand of timber on the na
tional forests. The annual cut
on the Tongass forest has in
creased gradually from zero at
its creation in 1902 until it
amounted approximately 43 mil
lion feet in the year 1912. This
•entire amount lias been cut for
'i cel use *, largely for boxes to
r unlain canned salmon. |The
latest large sale is remarkable
in that :f ii oicates a beginning
of the utilization of Alaska lim
ber in I he general markets.
On I lie area on the Stikinc
river, for which bids have been
received, the species to be cut
include Sitka spruce, hemlock,
red cedar, cottonwood, and yel
low cedar, and the minimum
stujmpage rates range from $2.
50 to $1.00 a thousand feet, ac
cording to species, the yellow
cedar bringing (lie highest price.
Another pulp company has made
application for the other area,
at the head of Thorn Arm, which
contains the same species to be
sold at similar prices. This
company has had Uien examin
ing timberlands in Alaska dur
ing a long period and over large
areas, and has come to the con
clusion that the Tongass tim
ber offers the best opportunity
if has seen.
The three great advantages
which the paper .manufacturers
say they are tinding in Alaska
are abundant supplies of tim
ber, cheap hydro-elect ric. power,
and tidewater transportation—
all of these in one and the same
locality. Both areas adjoin deep
water, and it is probable that
tho plants will be so located that
ocean freighters can be loaded
at the mills.
A cuttng period of twenty
years will be allowed, with two
years additional for construction
work. The prices may be ad
justed at livd-year intervals to
take care of possible advances in
lumber values.
Money and the “Movies.”
Every one, of course, knows
that the moving picture shows
are liberally palronizetl, but a
hint of the i^al extent of the in
dustry haw just been furnished
by the chairman of the first In
ternational Exhibition of the
Moving Picture Arts, soon to be
held in New York. According to
these statistics, -.tiie yean> at
tendance on moving picture
shows is in excess of 3,600,000,
000, or 36 visits for eypry man,
woman and child in the nation.
The figures, which are the first
official ones ever prepared in this1
country, are etxpected to create
considerable interest, not alone
among moving picture men, but
the public at large. The figures
show that $319,000,000 was re
ceived in quarters,' dimes and
nickels: that #90,000,000 is in
vested in the industry; that more
than .300,009 perfons are em
ployed and that 10,000,000 feet
i of picture film are produced
weekly. i
A great responsibility rests
upon the moving picture people,
; for their influence is tremendous.
It is for them to inpplcate good
I morals and worth? fthpa*
; It is tp the credit of the mov
; ing spirits-^no pun intended—
’ of* the ihduslry that they recog
! nize" their.responsibility and that
; little attempt has been made in
> the last few years to offer ob
! Jectionable films to the public. ,
