GUARD THE FORESTS
The recent warm summer days and
attendant forest fires, in which thou
sands of acres of timber were burned,
game animals killed and fur pockets
wiped out, show' how necessary it is
for Alaskans to be very careful of
fire. Possibly the locomotives on the
government railroad were responsible
for many of these fires. Others were
undoubtedly set by campers, hunters,
or prospectors.
A government forester who was
here a few days ago said that 91 per
cent of forest fires are man-made.
More than nine fires out of ten there
fore have their origin in carelessness
or neglect; and since the annual toll
of fires in Alaska run into hundreds
ol thousands of dollars, the price of
carelessness and neglect is high.
Our standing timber some day will
be one of our greatest assets. When
we destroy it by fire we are through,
as it takes several hundred years to
reforest a burned-over section.
Owing to the formation of Alaska
soil, fires once started are difficuA to
extinguish, as they smoulder for sev-'
eral weeks in the moss and tundra,
running long distances under ground,
and ready to fanned into flame by the
first gust of wind. Despite warnings '
and posted signs many persons delib- i
erately leave lighted fires in the for- |
ests. An appeal to the g"ood sense of:
the individual who visits the forests ;
appears to be the only remedy.
The forests are here tobe enjo\ ed.'
They are the heritage of all the peo-!
pie, and will if protected, be a never
ending source of revenue when all
others fail. Let us guard our forests
jealously.
MAKING A NEWSPAPER
(Prince Rupert News)
A newspaper is not a charitable in
stitution. It is established lor the
double purpose of serving the commu
nity and providing a means of liveli
hood for the owners. When it ceases
to do the latter, the former service
also fails.
The cost of printing a newspaper
and providing a proper foreign and
local news service is very large. Just
now the cost of publishing the Daily
News is about four thousand dollars
a month. To meet this cost, the sub
scription price is hardly noticeable.
The income is derived from selling
advertising to national advertisers, lo
cal merchants and those who promote'
entertainments, public meetings, lairs,
theatrical performances, and other
gatherings of public or semi-public na
ture.
In every newspaper office is a con
stant difference of opinion between
the management and those who want
advertising published without cost to
them in the news columns. Also there
is a constant stream of matter that
comes through the mail that is really
advertising and that it is attempted to
get it in as news. This generally goes
into the waste basket.
The management of the nswapaper
judges whether matter is news or ad
vertising. News is published free of
cost. Advertising matter must be
paid for if published.] It is only by
guarding carefully against free publi
cation of advertising in the news col
umns that a newspaper can exist. At
the most the margin between profit
and loss is very small.
