OUR NEW FOREST DISTRICT
As previously reported in tele
graphic reports received by The
News, Secretaary Meredith, of the
department of sericulture, lias ap
proved the establishment of a new
National Forest district, for Alaska.
The new district, which came into
being on the first of the year, is
known as the Alaska district, with
headquarters at Juneau, and is in
charge of Charles H. Flory, as dis
trict forester. Mr. Flory has beer
superintendent of Alaska National
forests for the past two years, with
headquarters at Ketchikan and the
headquarters of the new district
will remain at Ketchikan until the
first of July.
Colonel W. B. Greeley, the chiet
forester of the forest service, spent
some time in Alaska last summer, se
curing first-hand information on con
ditions in the territory, and as the
result of his trip, recommended tc
Secretary Meredith the establish
ment of a separate National Forest
district, to be handled under direc
tion of District Forester George H
Cecil, in Portland.
Assistant District Forester Wah;
of the Portland office, states that
the Alaska National Forests now be
come a separate district because ot
their increasing importance as f
source of pulp material and mainlj
in order to get the adminisrtratiov
of Alaska forests as near to thi
ground as possible, a policy, Mr
Waha emphasizes, which the fores
service has followed since 1908
when district headquarters were es
tablished in six western cities, t<
handle on the ground the protec
tion and administration of the Na
tional Forests.
The announcement of the estab
lishment of the new district is mad
at the Portland office almost simul
taneously with the news from Wash
ington that President Wilson ha
authorized an inter-departmenta
committee to co-ordinate feders
activities in Washington having t
do with Alaska. Mr. Waha make
it clear that the forest service is i
entire accord with the idea and the
this move is considered as the mos
important one yet made by the Go\
eminent to correlate its efforts t
develop the territory of Alaska. I

the forest service, who spent sora
time in Alaska, represents the d<
partment of agriculture on the ne
Alaska committee.

TRAIN OFF THE TRACK;
SCHEDULE IS DISARRANGED
For the first time since the in
auguration of a regular schedule
between Nenana and Fairbanks,
communication between the two
towns is interrupted today, owing to
an accident on the Fairbanks-Chata
nika line.
i A train left Fairbanks as usual
| yesterday for the creek terminal,
but was derailed by a large snow
drift near Ridgetop, and it was
necessary to send the new engine
I to the rescue from North Nenana.
'
The derailed engine was pulled
! back on the track today and the
! train reached Chatanika at a late
, hour this afternoon, it requiring
both engines to open the drift which
caused the derailment.
The train will make the run to
Nenana tomorrow.

Constance Peterson was taken ill
. yesterday and was still under the

! Fred Hanson, of the Hot Springs
j district, came down from Fairbanks
| on the last train, enroute to his
I home down the river. He spent
j Christmas in the upper town and
New Year’s in Nenana.
There is a report in town to the
effect that Mail Carrier Tom Maurer
frosted his feet on the way from
the coast this week and was com
pelled to make a run for Healy for
medical relief. The report cannot
be confirmed at the local offices of
the commission, but it is a fact
that the incoming mail was delayed,
J which gives color to the report.
; One Pair Did Not Wear Out!,
s TT was a scientific expedition composed of three
s JL white men and five Indians.
t They tramped clear across Labrador, five raon ths of
t that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
» One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
’• wore--other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
v The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
S! of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
,r the footwear with the Red Line Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
