The *26.730.87 Which has just com*
to Alaska from the receipts from for

gass National Forests for the fiscal
year ending Junp 30 makes a total
amount of *178.918.98 received by the
Territory from this source since the

figures just furnished by Forest offl
This money. 25 per cent of ‘he total
receipts from National Forest business
goes i/*to the road and school funds
of the counties in which the Forests
are located: hut in the case of Alaska
Which has no counties, the fund may
be used for road or school purposes by
the Territory in any part of Alaska.
That t'he turning to Alaska on the
part of pulp and paper manufacturers
seeking a new source of pulp wood
will not only hasten the development
of the territory but will grea'ly stitn
uhite timber sale business on the two
National Forests located in Alaska is
the belief of the Forest officials. The
official records show that during the
past fifteen years ov^r 444 million
feet, board measure, of timber has
been sold from the Alaskan National
Forests. Increased forest business will
return to the territory more money
for roads an<T schools, and these an
nual payments constitute one of the
continuous benefits assured Alaska by
the location of National Forests within
her boundaries, say the Forest officers.
