NEW RECORD IS
SET IN TIMBER
SALES IN 1926
FOREST SERVICE ANNOUNCES
OLD RECORDS BROKEN BY
TIMBER INDUSTRY
Although complete figures for the
timber cut for the calender year
1926, sales form national forests in
Alaska probably exceeds all previ
ous records, it was announced at
Juneau by District Forrester C. H.
Flory. Receipts from sales to about
December 1, later figures being un
available, amounted, to slightly less
than $100,000.
The high mark, previous to 1926
was set in 1925 when the receipts
from timber sales were $93,233,11.
Mr. Flory said all indications pointed
to 1927 sales reaching a figure mate
rially larger than those for last year.
REVIEWS YEAR’S ACTIVITIES
In a brief statement reviewing last
year’s work, Mr. Flory said:
“While complete figures are not
available, it seems probable that the
timber cut on the National Forests
of Alaska for the year 1926 will ex
ceed all previous records. The pre
sent high mark, both in volume and
total receipts for the Tongass. forest
was set in 1925, when timber sale
receipts totalled $93,233,11.
“The three largest mills in the ter
ritory are the Ketchikan Spruce
Mills, cutting 12 to 14 million board
feet; the Wilson-Sylvester Mill Co.
at Wrangell which cuts from 8 to
10 million feet annually and the
Juneau Lumber Mills with a cut of 6
to 7 million feet. Other small mills
deriving their timber supply from
the Alaskan National Forests are the
Ketchikan Lumber and Shingle Mill,
Ketchikan; Hyder Lumber Co., Hy
der; The Cordova Mill and Lumber
Co., Cordova, and the Sitka-Spruce
Lumber and Box Co., Sitka.
INCREASED DEMAND
“There was one cargo shipment
to the east coast supplied jointly by
the Ketchikan and Wrangell Mills.
A generally increased local consump
tion due to development at home as
counts for the fact that only one car
go shipment was made, although a
considerable quantity of high grade
spruce was shipped to the general
markets of the United States by the
regular steamers plying between
Alaskan ports and Seattle.
“The three largest mills operate
box factories and this product con
stitutes approximately 50 per cent of
their output.
“Trap piling, both for standing and
floating traps comprises another
large class of material cut from
Southeastern Alaskan forests. During
the past year there was a heavy de
mand for building a new style of
floating trap originated by C. J.
Alexander, the wrell known cannery
man.
“Beginning with last year the mills
of Southeastern Alaska have begun
to cut ties from Western hemlock for
th Alaska Railroad. This feature of
the timber inductry promises to in
crease considerably during 1927 and
succeeding years.
