FORESTRY WORK
OUTLOOK 1926
REPORTED FAIR
BRIEF REVIEW OF PAST SEA
SON’S ACTIVITIES OUTLINED
BY DIST. FORESTER.
WILL BE NUMEROUS GUARDS
Fire Fighters Will ,Be Stationed At
Advantages Points; Hope To
Suppress Bulk of Fire.
Though the coming season’s work
in this district of the Chugach Na
tional Forest has not as yet, been
definitely outlined, considerable work
is anticipated, John G. Brady, district
forester, who is a business visitor
in Seward stated to the Gateway
yesterday. Giving a brief review of
work accomplished by the depart
ment last summer, Mr. Brady point
ed out the work done at the end
of the KenaLSeward road, where a
guard was stationed thruout the best
part of the season and during which
time, aside from his regular duties,
two camp stoves were set up, a ta
ble and bench constructed, a lot of
debris removed and two lavatories
erected. A small area was set aside
for a public park at that location and
a home for the guard established.
There was also much work done
at the Kenai lake ranger station at
Lawing as well as at the Anchorage
ranger station.
(Regarding guards, Mr. Brady said
lext summer a guard would ,be lo
cated in the Anchorage office to han
lle the office end of fire work, and
here would also be guards station
id at Girdwood, Lawing, Hope and
iie lower end of Lake Kenai, one at
he end of Kenai road, and another
on the Moos© Pass road, Three or
four other men will he placed al
strategic places empowered to act in
case o fan emergency without waiting
for authorization from the district
ranger. >v
In Mr. Brady’s annual report suib
i-mitted recently at the ’Oordova head
quarters of the Forestry department,
it brought forth the fact that 36 fires
occured in the National Forest. Of
these, 22 were kept down to less
than one-quarter of an acre, nine
were between one-quarter and ten
acres, and tour exceeded ten acres.
Th toital area burned was 4,207 acres,
only 343 acres of which was in vir
gin timber, the balance being in
old or open country. The total dam
age to standing timber was com
muted at $1210. Cost of suppression
totaled $9800. Both damage and sup
pression figures would have been
considerably greater but for the fact
that the bulk of the fires were nip
ped in tW bud.

Fellows Hall Tonight
With a new bunch of dance num
bers up their several sleeves, the
Sjtarr orchestra are prepared to fur
nish a rare brand of harmony at the
dance this evening, which they are
giving at Add Fellows hall. The ar
rival of the steamer Victoria, which
always heralds the arrival of a num
ber of followers of the festive toe,
should add much to the general en
joyment to the public aflfair. Then
there is the train coming from the
Interior with numerous Interior folk
who never miss a dance. Yes, ver
ily. a good time is anticipated!
Now if the sun would only shine
for a few days, the ,local baseball

THE SEWARD
Weekly Gateway
■ V; ■' *. ' ? ; . *r , [if ‘
Will be published every Friday, the
first issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE in
tbe field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly 10UU
copie- It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and Ter
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries The Seward
Weekly Gateway will have nearly exclusive entry to the vast district west o S -
ard owing to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of correspondents
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect ma weekly paper.
We believe this new venture will prove sueessful inasmuch as it will offer an adve
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published m Seward, for a time at
least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublication, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $2.00 per month.
