That Alaska will furnish the bridge
that will carry the paper suply of the
United States over until the refor
ested lands begin producing is the
declaration of Col. W. G. Greely, the
chief forester of the United States, in
in interview given Rene Bach for the
New York Times, and apearing in the
New York Times and Book Review
of January 2.
It takes a full page of the Times
to carry three interviews with Colore
Greely and the author launches the
page’ wth that part of it which dis
cusses the important role Alaska will
play in the paper suply of the coun
try/That part is as follows:
• “When we get our'new forests go
ing we vHll be able to supply all our
needs for wood.” So said Col. William
B. Greely, the new chief of the Uinted
States forest buiiau. “But it will take
fifty years to get them, grown,” he
sai<^. ,
“What are we going to do in the
•neanthne ?” I asked.
“Alaska will furnish one bridge tc
carry us over, be said. “Her resource?
of fr'mber are enormous. All we have
to do*it to get busy and develop
•hem. Our western states and our for
ests most do the rest. We have vast
areas of cut over lands formerly cov
ered with timber, but now practical
ly waste. Nature, if left alone will re
produce* the forests on those areas
helped out by artficial tree planting
here-' and ’there, whore the devastation
has been exceptionally thourough But
this canndt be accomplished unless
adequate protection is given espec
ially against fire.”
“About this Alaskan timber bridge
that Is to carry us over until our new
forests are in shape to suply our de
mands ?” I asked.
1 “The'population of Alaska is only
abotit hktf what it was ten years ago,
CoL Greely answered. “The cream has
been skimmed off the territory. The
rich placer has been worked out and
somo of the gold lodes have been de
serted.^ The salmon industry has been
over'developed and exhaustion of
their enormously profitable fishery
threaten* The time when a small in
vestment is a salmon cannery would
yield assured rich returns is past”
f V ' ' • *
!' ;*But Alaska still has immense re
couma'that have hardly been touch
ed. Its deep sea fisheries, for example
Off the west coast are said to be cod
'and hattbt&'hanks which are said to
be larger and capable of greater pro
duction than the banks of Newfound
land or Norway.
‘‘What is needed is that Alaska be
put on an entirely new footing. Hither
to it has been on a mining basis. Its
economic structure must be made per
manent in character through agricul
tural and ‘ industrial development.
When this has been accomplished Al
aska wiH become a much greater pro
ducer of wealth than she has been ac
complished Alaska will become a
much greater producer of wealth than
«he has been up to now. Her latent re
sources iHB'be made available. The
reindeer, to mention one item, will
multiply by millions. They will be
come most valuable source of meat
supply. Jn particular'.for production
of pulp ind'paptf supply her forests
will be productive of riches.
“Once 1109, we have been largely
dependent upon* imported supplier of
pulp Wood. But the national forests
ed Alaska offer to paper manufactur
ers quantities of . pulp timber at low
'prteqp under long term contracts. The
•forest service* is doing its utmost to
, develop- this resource of the Territory
We pdpect to mirice Alaska a great
^producer of paper. f?r v the United
'States'and to put thr industry on a
permanent basis as frir in Norway,
by keeping/the cut'within what the
forests are growing. In other, wonts

In fact the territory'jh** th* fipeat

ca. It is one the best substitute*
for white pine and is now Whg "used
for piano boards, .ipr outside finish
jf houses, and for alt other purposes
to which white-pine, now so nearly
gone is adapted.
“The forests of Alaska are not lock
?d up or shackled with burdensome re
strictions, as has oft been alleged. For
he last fifteen years they have sup
plied all the sawmills on the eoast of
he territory, furnished large quan
tities of lumber for local use, salmon
:ases by the hundreds of thousands,
and high grade spruce for hsipment
to the Eastern states.
“Ninety per cent of the work of
he forestry service in Alaska is done
)y our resident supervisors and (9nly
matters of exceptional importance
ire referred to Washington. That sort
jr organization is the cure for long
>.*ange administration and1 red; tape.
“So I say that the.forests in Alas
ka, together with the timber in our
estern states, will furnish the tfridge
to safety. As I have said before it will
-ake about fifty years to grow our
new forests—to bring them to a ma
nured and productive state,' where
hey can be relied upon, under proper
nd careful management, to meet our
equipments for timber.”
