MILO KELL! TAKING
Hid TO STATES
TAKES SOUTH A CARLOAD OF
BIRCHWOOD LOGS FOR DEM
ONSTRATION PURPOSES
Milo Kelly, accompanied by Albert
Johnson, passed through Seward Sat
urday night en route to Seattle, tak
ing with him a carload of birch logs
for demonstration purposes with a
view to ultimately developing the
birchwood industry of Alaska. Mr.
Kelly’s trip was for the purpose of
making personal selection of the
grade of timber required by furniture
manufacturers in the Pacific Coast
States, and believes the consignment
going south will have the effect of
enlisting sufficient capital with which
to develop his 25,000 acres of timber
across Knik Arm from Anchorage.
In addition to birchwood, Mr. Kelly
is taking out several specimens of
cottonwood lumber now being utilized
in car paneling by The Alaska Rail
oad which, it is believed will go far
toward attracting the attention of cap
ital to this wood, both for boxes, dres
ser drawers and veneer work.
While Mr. Kelly is interested in
birchwood; he advises that attention
will •be-given to the acquisition of
areas of cottonwood, as he believes
the day is not far distant when the
pulp men will flock to Alaska to se
cure fibre suitable for the manufac
ture of the higher grades of paper.
