LUMBERING IN
THE NORTHLAND
By R OV K .'..iOTWELL.
In "The Timberman.’’
II is mv conviction th.it South
casern Alaska, particularly the dis
trict lying between Petersburg, Ket
chikan and Craig, has a bridtt fu
ture. In I he past and until the pres
ent season, the existing spruce mills
of Ketchikan, Wrangell, Craig, Pet
ersburg and Juneau operated only in
the spring, summer and a portion of
the fall, a season not to exceed six
or seven months on the average.
Their output was consumed locally,
going principally to the fishing and
mining industries. Parcel shipments
of shop and clear spruce by the
established steam hip lines were
made to Seattle, thence east as far
as the Middle Western states, the
East and as far as the British Isles.
During the war period, considerable
airplane spruce of excellent quality
was purchased h* the government
The business has really been stag
n-ited in the past owing to the compe
tition with Puget Sound mills, for
warding consignments of box shooks
arid common lumber to Southeastern
Alaskan points cheaper than Alaska
mills could manufacture the same ar
ticle, this occurring at periods when
thpre was an overabundance of un
-■■alit hie common lumber in the Puget
Sound district. This, I feel, will bo
eliminated in the future, possibly by
Improved logging and manufacturing
methods. The greatest drawback tc
Alaska is Uftit of transportation. Th ■
existing rate on the two established
steamship lines plying between Seat
tle and Alaska makes it Impossib:
for those mills to ship their entir.
output exclusive of common grades,
and compete with the Puget Sound
mills. At present, it can only be
done by special shipments of high
grade stock as above mentioned. The
rale of tile entire mill output is th?
only solution, ns I view it. Th
present population, the existing in
dustries and the anticipated popula
tion with resultant developments for
the next 10 years will not eliminate
this situation. It Is solely a matter
of transportation and that will re
quire lumber carriers either sailing
or power vessels which will go di
rectly to these mi Is and load to
capacity with all grades from mer
chantable to clears, together with
lath, clear polQp and piling. These
boats to go directly from Alaskan
points to Australia or to the Atlantic
via the Panama Canal. The relative
distances from Alaskan and Puget
Sound points to Australia are almost
identical although the approximate
distance from Seattle to Alaskan
mills is 7*50 miles.
Handling the output of these mills
In this way would assure not only
the mill men but the logger as well,
a dependable operation from April
to November, enabling them to main
tain efficient organization, justify th *
installation of many improvements
in machinery and labor, saving de
vices for the handling of their prod
net and, above all, guarantee them a
satisfactory return on their invest
uont. Mr. Flory and Mr. Sherman,
of the Forest Service, have very
aptly described the operations of
