O OPERATION FOR BENEFIT ALL
s
vEW-VRI) enjoys the privilege of having 2o miles of j
IN first class auto road through a highly scenic country. •
This road has been built largely through the expendituie,
of Territorial and Federal Road funds. i
Adjacent to these fine roads are large tracts ot
standing timber, mines, farms, fishing streams, an i
hunting grounds. Is it not up to the residents of bewai cl,
and this district to co-operate in every way possible |
with the federal government in the suppression ot any- j
thing which may tend to destroy these vast possibilities 1
which are available to residents of this distiict?
Each year the federal government spends. a^ con
siderable amount of money in the prevention of forest;
fires which, if once underway, would destroy timber, |
dry up trout streams, and drive the big game to other
haunts. With the limited funds that is available for pro
tection it should be up to every lover of outdoors to
work in co-operation with the federal government in
aiding to keep the forest fires down to a minimum.
Therefore, let all of us resolve to use the utmost
caution in prevert ing fires from spreading from our
camp fires, from burning brush, or from the careless
throwing away of a lighted cigarette or match while
traveling through the forests.
Alaska, as a whole, contains a good many billion
feet of commercial timber, which, in not many years,
will form one of her most valuable industries. Co-opera
tion in FIRE PREVENTION by the public will be an
added incentive to the federal government for building
up a greater protection system covering the forests of
Alaska.
We always thought rheumatism was unknown in
California but not so for it is noted where some rheu
matic lady down there extolls the curative virtues of
Sargon.
CONVICTS HAVE THIS RIGHT
More than 300 hundred convicts perish in a pri
son fire. The hardboiled toss the matter aside with the
remark that bad men must be locked up, and if the pri
soners had not been bad men they would not have been
where the flames could reach them.
Those of more sensitive turn of mind are likely to
inquire whether the mortality would have been so great
in a well-designed hotel, and whether the desire to pre
vent getting away had any effect on the number killed.
There is no crime which can be punished lawfully by
incineration or smoke suffocation, and even the crim
inal has a right to demand exemption from death by
cruel and unusual means. The east is not marked by
the dawn of a new day in prison design, but when that
day breaks, it will bring some plan of incarceration in
which lawful escape and unmerited physical extinction
will be equally impossible.
Next month Iceland will celebrate the 1000th anni
versary of its parliament, established in the year of 930.
In preparation for the occasion King Christian of Den
mark, who is also the king of Iceland is struggling to
learn the Icelandic language, in which he will make a
speech.
Counterfeit $1,000 bank notes are reported to be

Efficiency experts might well have a try at de
vising some means of utilizing left-over advice.
