New Weyerhceuser Pulp Mill
Speculation on Weyerhaeuser Timber Company's plans for constructing pulp facilities in the Grays Harbor ,area came to an end with the announcement by President J. P. Weyerhaeuser, Jr., that a 400-ton sulphite mill would be built at Cosmopolis on an 850-acre site purchased from the Ultican interests. Work on the new mill will start late this year ancl is expected to be completed during 1957 at a cost in excess of $20,000,000.
The sulphite process of pulp manufacture was selected because of the high incidence of western hemlock on the company's forestlands in southwest Washington.
More Thqn $8O f,fillion Collecled in Yeor From Notionol Forest Resources
More than $80 million from the sale of timber, grazing permits and other land use was deposited by the U. S. Forest Service in the Federal treasury during the year ending June 30, 1955, the U. S. Department of Agriculture announced. This all-time record was due largely to an increase in timber sales under the Service's scientific managemdnt program. The harvesting of national forest timber was stepped up by access roads constructed by timber purchasers and the government. An even greater amount of timber could have been sold without affecting the continuous yield of the national forests.
The 1955 record cornpares with $68,992,686.38 taken in during the previous year, and $76,505,198.67 collected in the year' ending June 30, 1953.
