NATIONAL FOREST FOR PENNSYL- 

 VANIA 



A new National Forest, to be created on 

 the headwaters of the Allegheny River in 

 I'ennsylvania, according to an announce- 

 ment of the Forest Service, United States 

 Department of .Agriculture, will minimize 

 the danger of destructive floods in the river 

 which have caused losses amounting to 

 millions of dollars in the past. This river is 

 one of the most important navigable streams 

 in the State, and is subject to sudden floods. 

 By perpetuating the forest areas and re- 

 stocking the cut-over lands of this water- 

 shed the danger of erosion and of destruc- 

 tive floods will be lessened. Tracts of 

 land comprising 412,000 acres in Warren, 

 McKean, Forest and Elk Counties, have 

 been approved for purchase by Federal of- 

 ficials, and will be known as the Allegheny 

 National Forest. This purchase marks the 

 first application in Pennsylvania of the 

 "Weeks Law" under which lands on 17 

 purchase areas, totalling 2,000,000 acres, 

 have already been acquired in the White 

 Mountains, Southern Appalachians and 

 Ozarks. The National Forest Reserva- 

 tion Commission, formed under this law, 

 approved the location for purchase of i,- 

 080,000 acres in Pennsylvania and 62,000 

 acres in New York. This latter area was 

 subsequently excluded from the program 

 upon New York's adopting the plan of 

 turning the land into a State park.

ALASKAN PULP WOOD FOR SALE 

 Two billion feet of Alaskan pulp wood, 

 the largest amount of National Forest tim- 

 ber ever offered for sale, is described in a 

 prospectus recently issued by the Forest 

 Service, United States Department of Ag- 

 riculture. The timber is within the Tongass 

 National Forest, on the west side of Ad- 

 miralty Island, and covers about 90,000 

 acres with a frontage of 48 miles of navi- 

 gable water, and 24 miles by boat from 

 Juneau and 900 miles from Seattle. Four- 

 fifths of the timber is western hemlock and 

 one-fifth Sitka spruce, both of which make 

 excellent grades of paper, as has been de- 

 monstrated by the mills of Oregon and 

 British Columbia. 



The sale period will be 30 years, and a 

 large plant will be required to utilize all 

 the timber within that time. The sales con- 

 tract requires that a pulp manufacturing 

 plant of not less than 100 tons daily capacity 

 shall be established in Alaska by the pur- 

 chaser within 3 years. This section of 

 Alaska has many unappropriated power 

 sites of suitable capacity for large pulp 

 and paper plants. 



The need of developing our pulp industry 

 is emphasized by forestry experts who point 

 out that although prior to igog all the pa- 

 per consumed in this country was manu- 

 factured here, in 1920 two-thirds of the 

 news print used in the United States was 

 made from timber grown on foreign soil. 

 Reduced to dollars and cents this repre- 

 sents an annual payment of $191,000,000 

 for pulp wood, wood pulp and paper which 

 this country has been obliged to import 

 due to lack of raw material available to 

 existing pulp mills. A partial solution of 

 this problem, foresters say, lies in establish- 

 ing pulp mills in Alaska, where there is now 

 a large supply of spruce and hemlock, and 

 where wood can be grown at a rate suffi- 

 cient to furnish indefinitely one-third of the 

 present American news print requirements. 



1922 IDAHO FORESTER STAFF 



The staflf for the publication of the 1922 

 ID.\HO FORESTER was elected at a re- 

 cent meeting of the Associated Foresters 

 of the School of Forestry at the University 

 of Idaho. W. Byron Miller, of Stevenson, 

 Washington was elected Editor-in-Chief 

 and Leslie E. Eddy of Dietrich, Idaho, 

 Business Manager. George J. Madlinger

 ly appointed as .\ssociate Editors and Rus-

 gun to push the work on the annual pub- 

 lication of the Idaho School of Forestry 

 and the book promises to be of more in- 

 terest to lumbermen and foresters through- 

 out the northwest as well as to those asso- 

 ciated with the university than ever before.
