FOREST FIRES
TOO NUMEROUS
During the forest fire season of 1924
rhere was a total of 88 fires reported
by Forest Service agents within the
bounds of the Chugach National For
est. Seventy-one of these were fires
on or near the right-of-way of the
Alaska Railroad and six were of un
known origin. Six were started from
camp fires. Five were started by
smokers, and brush burning'increased
the number three more.
The fires on or near the right-of-way
of the railroad were caused chiefly by
sparks from locomotive stacks. As
the season progressed the employes
of the railroad improved the spark ar
resters and toward the end of the fire
period there was a notable improve
ment. Further improved arresters
will be used this season and carefully
watched. As defects show up they
will be corrected. This season will
show a marked decrease in this type
of fire.
Six fires were caused by abandoned
camp fires. This means that six
campers at least walked off. leaving
their camp fire burning. They did not
put it out with water or scatter the
coals. They were absolutely indiffer
ent as to what might happen, as they
were through with that part of the
woods. A few buckets of water would
have put them all out and the sorry
part of it is that water was handy to
them all. Laziness is the only plea.
Five smokers’ fires. Five men, as
the writer has yet to see a woman
smoke in the woods, were careless.
They threw their cigarette butts into
some moss or dry grass and went mer
rily on. If these five had staid home
or had used chewing tobacco, many
acres of trees would be green today.
Then three farmers burned brush
and the fires got away from them.
Perhaps a little foresight would have
prevented these fires, such as a cou
ple of pails of water handy with a
sack or two for beating out the
flames.
Fourteen fires caused by careless
ness and some others that might have
been avoided. This is quite a record
for a small section of country.
Prevent Forest Fires. It Pays!

A PROCLAMATION
Territory of Alaska, Office of the Gov
ernor, Juneau.
A PROCLAMATION
By proclamation of the President
of the United States and in conform
ity with the action of the Governors
of various states, the week of April
27 to May 3, inclusive, 1925, has been
set apart as “American Forest Week,”
when all patriotic citizens are asked
to give thought to the forests and
“unite in the common task of forest
conservation and renewal.”
The President wiseley says:
“Our forests ought to be put to
work and kept at work. I do not
minimize the obstacles that have
to be met, nor the difficulty of
changing old ideas and practices.
We must put our hands to this
common task. It is not enough
that the Federal, State and local
governments take the lead. There
must be a change in our national
attitude. Our industries, our land
owners, our farmers, all our citi
zens must learn to treat our for
ests as crops, to be used but also
to be renewed. We must learn
to tend our woodlands as care
fully as we tend our farms.”
Alaska is blessed with an abundant
timber supply, Here “the rich and
magnificent gift that nature bestowed
upon us,” has not been “too freely
spent” as in the States. Here, too, our
forest reserves, thanks to protective
climatic conditions, have been singu
larly immune from the devouring ele
ments of fire. But in less favored and
unguarded regions of the interior,
countless acres of valuable timber are
annually laid waste and the present
and future supply thus seriously im
paired and jeopardized. To this and
kindred dangers Alaska should give
timely heed.
Therefore, a proper observance of
American Forest Week, with thought
ful consideration of pending and pros
pective problems and patriotic coop
eration for their safe solution, is ear
nestly enjoined upon all citizens of
the Territory.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the Territory of Alaska, in Juneau,
the capital, this fourth day of April,
in the year of our Lord, one thousand
nine hundred twenty-five and of the
independence of the United States of
America the one hundred forty-ninth.
(Seal) SCOTT C. BONE.
Governor.

KARL THEILE,
Ex-officio Secretary of Alaska.
