that it would require 20 years of

would become adjusted to the pro

That progress was being made to

BIG INCREASE
! ALASKA SPRUCE i
; FOR EXPORTING
Twelve Million Feet of Alaska
Timber Will Re Shipped
from Three Mills.
11 Twelve million feat of lumber will,
i I-> shipped from tan three lumber;
mills operating in Southeastern Al-j
: a si..:*, the Ketchikan Power Company'
I at Ketchikan; the Wilson & S;. 1 v. — i
ter mills at Wrangell, and the Jti- \
noaii Lumber Mills at Juneau, to
in I td in foi
countries, is comport i to 5.0V0.OO0
, feet of 1 um 1 shipped last year,
from tho two former mills, j
at: tirding to F. U. Hrvnolson, of the .
Northwest. Spruce Comp mv, of Van-1
icouver, IP ('.. luniher brokerage firm,
I handling the shipments from lliese,
j mills. Mr. Brynolson arrived in Ju
j neau on the steamer Jefferson from j
j tlio South, here on business in the
interest ol' his firm,
i The Northwest Spruce Company,
j entered the. Alaska field last year.
I handling the shipments for the mills
| at Ketchikan and Wrangell, outside
'the Territory, totaling 5,000,000 feet
j of spruce lujjber. About two-third*
I of tills total output went, to foreign
j ports and one third to the interior
j states in ibis country. With the in
i elusion of tlie Juneau Lumber Mills
in the export trade and the increase
which lias been made in the (business
this year, Mr. Krynolson said he is
confident a permanent industry will
be ■established between Alaska and
the foreign field.
The first ship, probably a steam
freighter, will come north in June
to take on a. lumber cargo for Aus
j tralia. It is the plan of the North
[ west Spruce Company to maintain
' steam freighters In exporting lum
i her to foreign ports, Mr. Krynolson
! said. This is because of the supe
riority of these ships to the sailing
| vessels, In time and working devices.
A steam ship makes Australia in 30
days from the United States, whereas
la sailing vessel is 00 days on the
.journey. Wood shipped on sailing
I vessels, as it Is put in the hold In
I its green state, is acted upon by th;
climate of the south and when it
treadles its destination Is stained
| and not so acceptable to tha pur-'
idhaser. .
So far the Nartjiwest Spruce Com-!
pany has taken the entire output, ex
cept. that for local business, front i
the throe mill's in the district.
Tito establishing of a steadily in
| creasing 'business with the outside!
markets will mean the building up of
a large and permanent industry by
the mill operators in this part of!
the Territory, Mr. Rrynolson said.
As ho soes it there is no reason why
tiie mills cannot operate 10 months
of the year, in the climate of this
j district, and the mill men must look
to the outride markets for a busi
ness which will keep them operating
■ from eighi to ten months every
season.
“Spruce is the doming commodity
lot tha lumber trail-. It is an excel]-,
| on substitute to southern pine, which
is fust ^becoming extinct,” said Mr
i J+rytiolson, “or. account of no refor-,
j caution, in' the status. Alaska spruce -
i4 superior ibotli ns to main and tex
ture and g -norm quality for factory
Itnniber, to any spruce shipped from
