Upon his return from a recent tout
of investigation in Alaska. Henry S
Graves, chief of the Forest Service,
estimated that this past summer two
or three million acres of timber land
in this northern Territory were burn
ed over and that in the last fifteen
years not less than a million acres a
year were destroyed says the New
York Sun. This is the greatest loss
from forest fires as regards area that
i the United States has ever exepri
! enced, yet Mr. (graves says that the
government took no measure of pro
tection against them.
These vast tracts, mostly in the in
terior of the territory, are covered
with white birch, white spruce and
cottonwood. While the trees are not
large nor the yield great, still these
forests are important factors in the
development of the country and in
making it habitable. They are neces
sary to the establishment of the prin
cipal industries, mining and agricul
ture, and are essential to the building
and maintenance of the pioneer roads
and bridges. One of the national for
ests has a yield of seventy billion feet
of good lumber and promises to be
come a center for the manufacture of
wood pulp.
Mr. Graves says that on the Valdez
trail he passed through more than a
hundred miles of forests either burn
ing or recently burned:
“Many culverts, bridges, corduroy
roads and telephone poles had been
destroyed, and still worse the trees
had been destroyed along the trail
and these trees will be sorely needed
for repairs In the future."
He says, too, ihat llie ,:a’ tin.
I age here represents as much as "it j
! would have cost to prevent the fires
| entirely.” A trained forest force has
already proved Its worth wherever it
had been introduced nnd there is no
j reason that in the face of such great
j loss the same protection should not be
I immediately extended to the public
\ domain in Alaska.
