Biggest Timber Business in
History S. E. Alaska
Sure, Says Gardner.
Soul heattern Alaska will have tin
biggest timber business this year it
Sts history in the opinion of C. T
Gardner, member cf the firm of Saw
yer, Reynolds ft Co., who with Mre
Gardner arrived early today on flit
Watson. Orders received by th<
company, he said, for logs for pil
Ing and for supplies for sawmills it
the district are unusually large.
Every sawmill in South east ert
Alaska can get all the orders the}
can take care of during the scasot
and are assured of the busiest yeai
in their history. Foreign buyers an
looking for Alaskan timber and sev
oral goed contracts have been placet
with Alaskan mills, two of whicl
were secured by the Juneau I. uni be:
Mills. An Australian schooner 1
nun in \r\Ji i. ni i\ruui&dii iu iiiuu i
cargo for Australia. Under plans nmi
being perfected steam freighter:
•will lead general cargoes at Seattli
for Austalian and other points ani
come to Alaskan ports and lake o;
deck loads of lumber, minimum re
quirements being 1,000,000 boarc
feet. The plijn will be tried ot\:
during the coming season, said Mr
Gardner. Shippers believe it wil
prove more successful than making
shipments of lumber on sailing
schooners which was tried out last
reason.
•'The outlook generally for all in
dustries in Southeastern Alaska
lumber, fishing, mining, was nevei
brighter as far as my knowledgt
• goes, titan it is for the immediate
future,” said Mr. Gardner. Thr
, company has three camps established
and is already getting out logs tc
All some of its contracts. It, and
every other logging concern, he said
will operate at capacity this year.
Mr. Gardner's company has just pur
chased 34,000 lineal feet of spruce
piling at Gantbier Bay from the
Forest Service and 600,000 board
' feet at Red Bluff and Kelp Bays.
| The latter purchase is to apply on
j orders from the local mills.
Mr. Gardner was connected with
1 ilie Forest Service several years be
fore entering the Sawyer, Reynolds
firm. He was connected with the
Tongaas Forest staff lirst as Deputy
i Supervisor and lHter as Supervisor,
! retiring from the latter office several
innoths ago to enter private busi
ness. lie and Mrs. Gardner will make
their future home in Juueau.
