ALASKA’S PARK
HAS LARGESt
NUMBER ACRES
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4 (by As
sociated Press).—To the majority of
prospective summer campers or those
figuring on vacations in the great out
doors there exists little or no distinc
tion between the national forests and
the national parks. As a matter of
fact there is considerable difference
which must be taken into considera
tion by the vacationist in arranging
for his annual outing. The prims dif
ference between the tyvo is:
The national parks are maintained
in their primeval state, it being the
purpose to preserve these districts as
natural heritages to future genera
tions as examples of wilderness jvhen
the hand of man has eradicated all
frontiers. For this reason nothing is
allowed to be disturbed and birdi and
wild animals find safe sam tuary
here. Rigid regulations are s rictly
maintained.
The national forests, on the other
hand, are maintained as an ecc jomlc
asset. Timber is cut and herds e azed.
Campers are at liberty to com i and
go as they please without resti ction,
and the huntsman and angler with
few exceptions is required on j to
conform to the game laws wh ill ob
tain in the state in which th park
is located. Furthermore, it is p ssible
for persons to rent from the , overn
ment, at from five to ten do lars a
year, a half acre or acre of U id, on
either short or long term rer swable
leases. To this he is given p ictical
ownership during his lease. 0 i it he
may build any sort of summe home
his fancy dictates. He is at enable
only to such regulations as ol Rin in
any community. Should he not are to
renew his lease the property
to the government. If there ar i
ings or other improvements, t le
eminent will buy these at a fa r
if they are available for use.
event they are not, the own

There are national forests Ii
24 states, or just half the
the union. Alaska and Porto

West Virginia 1 13,700
NVvoming 12 8.619.855
Thus the 151 national parks of the
United States contain a total of 175,
951,266 acres which are open to the
people of the country as permanent
recreation grounds. In the Tusayan
and Kaibab national forests of Ari
zona, the Pisgah of North Carolina,
and the Wichita of Oklahoma are lo
cated national preserves designated
under special acts of congress for the
protection of game.
Maps of the national forests are
printed for free distribution and are
obtainable at any forest service office,
headquarters or stations. They show,
among other things, every road and^
trail within the forest, exact descrip
tions as to nature of the country, the
best fishing and hunting grounds and
where meals, supplies, water and other
necessities may be found.
FOREST RANGER GIVES
SOME TIMELY ADVICE
Our former townsman, Grover Han
neman, who is a forest ranger in Cook
inlet, writes the following circular let
ter cautioning against fires:
A few years ago quite a number of
people, thought that the burning off of
green timber was a benefit to the
country. We are beginning Jo realise
the value of timber more and more
every year, not only because of the
value of timber Itself but because it
gives refuge to wild animals and birds
and regulates the flow of streams.
We In Alaska, do not appreciate the
importance of stream regulation as do
the people in other parts of the
country, because agricultural endeav
ors have not been pursued to any
great extent as yet, but the time will
come when farming will be one of the
main industries. The mining and fish
ing industries would also suffer by the
needless burning of green timber.
Many a small mine would be com
pelled to shut down if forced to send
to the Outside for the lumber neces
sary for development and operations.
The same can be said of the small fish
ing outfits.
In view of the above facts, now the
tire season is approaching, I wish to
make a few suggestions to those con
templating trips into the woods this
spring and summer for the purpose of
prospecting, picnicking or for any
other purpose.
Those who smoke should be sure
that their matches are out before
throwing them away. Never throw a
lighted cigarette or a cigar into the
brush or moss. In cleaning your pipe
be sure that the tobacco is not burn
ing. - *
When you start a camp fire build
it on gravel or dirt. Never against an
old rotten log, because a log will re
tain fire for hours after you have left.
Before leaving throw water on your
camp fire and be sure that it is en
tirely out.
