Report on Alaska'r Availablc Timber Supply

That Alaska is an asset of almost incalculable worth in the economy of the United States, and that timber is one of the greatest of those assets, is stated in a special report on that Northern land just made by Interior Secretary Oscar L. Chapman to the President and Congress.

The report says that among Alaska's various sources of national wealth, its forests offer a worthy potential for immediare development.

Conservative estimates place Alaska's coastal and interior forest lanCs at more than 375,000 square miles-almost twice as large as the combined forest lands of the four Scandinavian countries where forest industries are a maior factor in the economy.

Alaska's most productive forest region is the l6 millionacre Tongass National Forest in southeastern Alaska. where some 5 million acres have been classified as merchantable timber.

At least 75 per cent o{ this timber stands within 2l rniles of tidewater, and is preponderantly hemlock ancl spruce.

The interior forests of Alaska are composed mainly of white spruce and birch, and cover an estimated 342,000square-mile area along the Yukon, Tanana, Kuskowim and Copper Rivers.

A rough estimate places the volume of these interior forests at 910,000,000 cords. r'

Production of Alaska's forest products is eagerly awaited by an evergrowing 'market, Secretary Ch4pman's report points out. Newspapers, magazines 4nd printing establishments must now depend, to a large extent, on foreign pulp production to meet their paper requirements.

Demand for pulp for other uses, including rayon and plastics, also is steadily increasihg.
