GREELEY REFUTES CRITICS OF
ALASKA AND NORTHWEST, i
DEVELOPMENT PLANS
The development of the pulp and
paper manufacturing industry in Al
aska will not compete seriously with
the industry in Oregon and Washing
ton, declared United States Forester
W B. Greeley in his annual report
to the Secretary of Agriculture, re
cently made public. He takes the
position that the Aaskan industry
will primarily be engaged in the
manufacture of newsprint while that
product will not be a major element
in the industry in Oregon and Wash
ington.
Col. Greeley pointed out that the
efforts of thp Forest Service to es- i
tablish the industry in Alaska are
in accord with its established policy
cf conservative development as op
posed to forced exploitation.
MEETS WITH CRITICISM
In his report, commenting on the j
Alaskan situation, he said in part:
“Considerable criticism of these sales
has arisen, particuarlv in the Paci
fic Northwest. The economic sound
ness of making such large tracts of,
Government timber available at this
t?me has been questioned. The claim
has been made that the Forest Ser
vice in placing these enormous virgin
tracts of pulp wood on the market is

‘it an invariabe rule, that if he swal
!
lows it, it is a male, and if she swal- ;
lows it, it wil be a female.
“We tried this, he took the bait
and It was a male. We cropped his :
v/in'AS so he could flit but not fly,
give him a couple of pounds of dog
salmon, half a loaf of old bread and | ]
a bar of soap, all of which he tried ,
to pack off at one load. We put on
our snowshoes and followed him
straight to the nest in a dense
thicket of young spruce.
“But after finding it, carefully
packing it, and expressing it, to New :
York, we found that a man from the
“good old state of Maine” had beat
en us to the reward. Seriously, now
these birds should be killed on sight
by all hunters, trappers, prospectors,
or anyone who loves to listen to the
sweet warbling song birds which
spend their summers in our forests.
They kill for the sake of killing, all
the young or other species of birds,
ptarmagin and grouse not excluded.
“Once, above timber line a robin j
had built her nest on the side of a j
cliff near my camp, the male, aways
on the outlook for danger, sang me
to sleep many a night. One morning
I heard a vicious fight being waged j
at the nest, I grabbed my rifle and
arriving upon the batte ground saw
cne of the murderers flying away
wth one of hte young robins and
two dead ones on the rocks 15feet
below the nest. I did for these two
criminals and today their feathers
are scorching in the bird hell. I
believe I have been the means of
fixing a similar destiny for more
than a thousand of these feathered
fiends.
“I hope and trust others will do
likewise.”
