Loggers Asked to
Help Reduce Chances
For Forest Fires
PETERSBURG, Alaska, UP) —
Loggers in the Petersburg district
of the Tongass National Forest,
were being put on a “hoot owl”
logging schedule Thursday to re
duce chances of forest fires.
This means they’ll not be able
to use power saws during heat of
the day after 10 a.m. The order
went out to loggers from District
Ranger Burton Clark’s office as
men in the district finished com
batting the third small forest
fire in three weeks.
Loggers were not responsible
for the fires «fout were ordered to
reduce the hazard. The public
also was warned to use more
care.
Wednesday night Forest Ser
vice men, aided by the local fire
department, subdued a blaze at
Blind Slough that was confined
to about five acres of scrub tim
ber.
Last week a fire started by a
careless camper at Sand Lake 10
miles south of here was caught
before it spread more than an
acre. The week before Forest
Service men were called to put
out small blaze on Dead Man’s
Island near Wrangell.
The Weather Bureau reports
only 2.62 inches of rain here since
May 17.
