BAD FOREST
FIRES
The following communiciatlon is
from A. Christensen, chief of field
division of the land department,
directing people how to build cami
fires and drawing attention to the dan
ger to which forests, etc., are exposed:
“The forest fires raging at Haines
and vicinity reminds us tnat when
there are periods of dry weather there
is always great danger of forest fireB.
Large areas of forests, public and
private, are destroyed each year bj
fire. This destruction is an injury to
everyone and is a great danger, espe
cially in ali mountain countries where
a regular flow of streams is of vital
importance. It is also well at this time
that the attention of the public be
called to certain laws passed by Con
gress which forbid:
1st. The setting of fires In the
woods, and
2nd. Forbid leaving camp-fires and
others without first extinguishing
them.
This law also provides a maximum
punishment in a fine of $5,000 or im
prisonement for two years, or both, if
a fire is set maliciously, and a fine of
$1,000 or imprisonment for one year,
or both, if a fire results from careless
ness. This law also provides that the
money from such fines be paid to the
school fund of the county in which the
offense is committed. It is unfortun
ate that people will be so careless as
to leave fires without extinguishing
them and thereby cause the loss of
valuable timber which cannot be re
stored for centuries, and the destruc
tion of homes as well. It is, therefore,
suggested that since so many fires
start from neglected camp fires the
• public be requested as follows:
1. Do not build a larger fire than
you need.
2. Do not build your fires in dense
masses of pine leaves, duff, and other
combustible material where the fire is
sure to spread.
3. Do not build your fire against
largo logs, especially large rotten logs
wliero it requires much more work
anil time to put the fire out than you
are willing to expend, and where you
are rarely quite certain that the fire
is really and completely extinguished.
4. In windy weather and in dan
gerous places, dig a fire hole and clear
off a place to secure your fire. You
will save wood and trouble.
5. Every camp fire should be com
pletely put out before leaving camp.
G. Do not build fires to clear off
land anil for other similar purposes
without first taking the necessary pre
caution to see that the fire will not
spread to surrounding timber.

A GUN FOR ROOSEVELT
AND FREE TRIP TO WAR
SOUTH MANSFIELD, Ln„ June 4.
—Notes sent to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt offering to furnish him with
a gun and transportation to join either
the allied or German army and his
rejoinder to one of them became pub
lic today. The first message read:
South Mansfield, La., May 11, 1915.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Syra
cuse, N. Y.: •
Judging from the statement or yours
at Syracuse that you have the fighting
spirit, we, the citizens of this village,
will furnish gun and transportation for
you to join either the allied or Ger
man forces individually—no substi
tutes.
CITIZENS SOUTH MANSFIELD.
Colonel Roosevelt answered:
Syracuse, N. Y., May 12, 1915.
Citizens South Mansfield, La.:
If your citizens who addressed the
telegram to me will volunteer to join
and accompany me to Europe, w'e will
join the allied forces, purchasing our
arms from your city and starting im
mediately from South Mansfield.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Fearing that the Colonel misunder
stood the meaning of their first tele
gram, the following message was sent
South Mansfield, La., May 15, 1916.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Syra
cuse, N. Y.:
Get the meaning of the former mes

MATERIAL FOR ST. ELIAS
The Admiral Evans landed J. W.
Woodford and 13 workmen at Katalla
to start the work of building a light
house at Cape St. Elias. A shipment
of 175 tons of freight and 300,000 feet,
of lumber was unloaded and will be
lightered to the cape as needed. The
lmuber was purchased from the Wor
then Mills at Juneau and a second
shipment of 50,000 feet will be brought
north on the Admiral Watson. Capt.
Ben Durkee has the contract to land
the freight at the designated point off
the cape and has started at work to
take the freight from Katalla.
When completed the lighthouse at
St. Elias will be one of the best on
the coast and will stand 120 feet above
sea level. The site selected is on
Kayak Island. It will require two
years to construct the light and have
it in condition.
(Special to the Dally Times)
ANCHORAGE, June 1.—There Ib
not much improvement In the stock
quotations of the labor market. The
latest is 12Vi cents for ties at the
stump, peeled and the ronds swmnped.
And already you can hear the talk of
the good old days on the Copper River
railway.
The weather is ideal and everybody
is busy planting garden, with bare
footed children In evidence and Ihe
ladies sporting sun shades. In fact
one could very easily Imagine that he
was in Southern California. Dr. Car
mlchael, of Nome, claims that climatic
conditions are such there is no room
here for any members of his profes
sion. Even Bob Hayner, formerly of
Cordova who Is always willing to take
a chance in the undertaking game, re
alizes that he has placed Ills bet on the
wrong card.
James Carscadden has played his
Seward interest ngainst success here,
while M. II. Diedrfck has turned
Prohibitionist, since his bottling works
is getting the money. Peter Oilovlch
believes the pay streak runs to a pool
room and is erecting a large log build
ing to house tables; Doc Madden is
looking longingly towards the govern
ment pay roll; C. R. Peterson has gone
into the homestead game; Bert Me
Cutcheon Is here with a bunch of Can
adian hustlers, watching the stables
and flirting with the jockeys, trying
to establish a first-class hotel; Sandy
Wilson, of Fairbanks, and several
others from the outside, are also on
the same trail; Walt Bowker tried to
break into the millionaire class
through the Broad Pnss route hut
believes the government provides an
easier way.
M. Flnkelsteln is the livest wire here
and the firm of Flnkelsteln & Sfaplro
is a household word. Doc Schmitz and
his able assistant. Miss Clenevleve
Whalen, have an attractive drug storp,
and while there is little or no sick
ness they are doing a land office busi
ness in toilet nnd other articles.
Billy Bolte is furnishing a good part
of the hardware used here. Mrs. A.
E. Lee conducts an up-todate room
ing house in a log building. Church
& Walston, of McCarthy, have an at
tractive pool room. Johnny Berry is
as "busy as a cup of tea” looking after
Capt. Lathrop's transfer business. The
Cordova Dally Times finds a ready
sale at A. Frodenberg’s news stand.
All the old-timers will be glad to
know Mr. and Mrs. Bud Whitney are
located on a nicely paying ranch where
the latch-string is alwnys out for
friends. Frank Hlvers, of Fairbanks,
is building a bunglow and says this
Is the last one. Frank Johnston, of
Nome, likes his new postoflice ad
dress so well htat he will make no
more changes. James Heany is work
ing on the right of way and Clint
Olffort Is In the transfer business. W.
M. Spencer, familiarly known as
"Bronco Bill” has hlB dog team here,
with which he did freighting nt McCar
thy. W. M. Hiltz (Montana Bill)
says contract work looks good time.
The play against the lodging house
game is light, while the restaurants
failed to pass the first quarter and
It Is even money neither will reach
the half mile post. The barbers com
plain that they were touted wrong,
and should have remained at their
home town. The carpenters played
the field but forget to to take into con
sideration the steam l>ont percentage.
Our Cordova friends will certainly
pluck some flowers from the townsite.
while the plucking Is good, as Anchor
nge Is undoubtedly the city the Seward
people dream of.
ANCHORAOB, June 2.—There are a
number of people here who were In
Cordova at the time of construction
of the Copper River & Northwestern
Railroad.
The government is surveying
grounds this side of the creek where
the town now is, for homes for gov
ernment employes. Mr. Warner and
three crews are surveying the new
townsite.
Marshal Warden hns heen here six
weeks and hasn't made an arrest or
sworn out a warrant. The jail is a
fine, big log building.
The commission Is building a large
hospital and social hall.
Carscadden came over from Seward
but isn't doing anything.
The Mot Tamale Man from Cordova
came over the trail from Seward yes
terday.
About six launches run between
here and Knlk and meet all the boats.
