Considerable attention has been
given to 1 Ik; meaning of Korest
V ek, making all the more inter
esting the forest service’s method
of procedure in the sale of timber
ami the principal features of the
ecu raet being offered prospective
pulp and paper operators in Alaska,
as follows :
1 The standing timber only is
ofr\red for sale, title to the land
beii g retained in the United States
to insure renewal of the timber
supply.
2. All timber is sold to the high
est responsible bidder after a peri
od of advertisement of not less than
:i0 days.
2. Timber is paid for in install
ments as cutting proceeds and on
the basis of a scale made by a for
est officer at the time of cutting.
4. All merchantable timber on
1 he sale area is to be taken with the

groups of trees in which no cutting
is done, and not individuals trees
scattered over the area logged. On
a'oas where it appears desireable
tl.( operator may be required to lop
the tops left on the area so that
the brush.lies close to the ground.
5. Pulp wood contracts are offer
ed. covering a 50-year supply of tim
her for a plant of the size contem
plated.
The beginning of the 5 0-year con
tract period is delayed from three
to four years to permit the neces
cTiy investigations and plant con
s' ruction.
Additional protection to establish
ed plants in the matter of timber
supplies is provided by the general
forest .serVji£e; policy . of not selling
timber for the use of prospective
mills in a given locality if all the
timber that can be supplied indefin
itely through the forest growth is
needed for tie continued opera
tion of existing mills there. The
purpose of this policy is to give
stability to development in timber
r-gions by preventing future tim
ber depletion.
6. The minimum rates named in
the advertisement that will be con
sidered for timber to be used for
pulp are 60 cents per 100 cubic feet
for spruce and 30 cents per 100 cu
bic feet for hemlock. This volume
unit roughly equals one cord of sol
id worod.' In terms of board feet the
above rates are approximately equal
to $1.00 per M for spruce and 50
cents per M for hemlock.
7. The stumpage rates are subject
tc readjustment at regular intervals
to make them conform with the
then current prices being received
fcr similar timber in the region
The initial stumpage rates provided
f'-r in the contract cover a period
of ten years of operation; thereaf
ter rates may be reajusted every
five years to make them conform
with the then current values o‘
stumpage in Southeastern Alaska,
but the * rates to be set for the first
two of these five year periods may
net exceed certain figures given in
the contract.
