IMPORTANCE OF GREEN
TIMBER *
*#*<• *****#**#**#♦*•
A few yea' * ago quite a number of
jv r If* thought that the burning off of
green timber was a benefit to the
We are beginning to realize
the va’uo of timber more and more
rvory year, not only because of th'
vnliio of iho timber itself, but because
ji give* refuge to wild animals and
birds and regulates the flow if
st eam*. We in Alaska of course, do
not appreciate the importance of
tve-im regulation as do people in oth
er parts of the country, because agri
cultural endeavors have not been pur
I to anv great extent as yet, hut
tlv.* time will come when farming will
h * one of the main industries. The
mining and fishing industries would
also suffer by the needless burning of
gre n timber. Many a small mine
would ho compelled to shut down if
forced to send to the “outside” for the
lumber necessary for development and
operation. The same can be said of the
mall fishing outfits.
In view of the above facts, now the
fire season is approaching. I wish to
make a few suggestions to those con
templating trips into the woods this
spring and summer for the purpose
of prospecting, fishing, picnicking or
for any other purposes.
Those who smoke should be sure
that their matches are out before
throwing them away. Never throw a
lighfed cigarette or cigar into the
brush or moss. In cleaning your pipe
be sure that the tobacco is not burn
ing.
When you start a camp fire builri
if on gravel or dirt. Never against an
old, rotten log, because a log will re
tain fire for hours after you have left.
Refore leaving throw water on your
camp fire and be sure that it is enth*
ly out.
The adoption of these few sugges
tions by every one going into the
woods will help greatly toward the
protection of one of our important re
sources.

MAIL CONTRACT
TO NEW STEAMER
LINE TO ALASKA
If the Territorial steamer line, now
proposed, goes through, the govern
ment will partly subsidize the new
venture by giving a mail contract fo*
the various steamers on the three dif
ferent routes. Also, the Alaskan En
gineering Commission will ship all
freight hv the territorial steamers.
The above facts were brought out
last night at the Seward Chamber of
Commerce m#eting, contained in a let
ter from Representative John Noon.
Mr. Noon asked that the local chamber
endorse the plan as the other com
mercial organizations in the territory
had done so. The local Chamber in
structed Secretary Lucas to send a
night letter tonight to Mr. Noon, fav

WASHINGTON, April 12— British
abroad are bombarding their Home
government with complaints of Amer
ican business men’s activity through
out the world. These complaints, ac
cording to private advices received
here, state that the Americans arc go
ing after the business of the world and
seem to be getting it.
Several London newspapers have
vouced a general apprehension that
the United States will take away Eng
land's lead in the world commerce be
cause the Americans are hustling and
are shoving their best hustlers to se
cure the business.
It is reported that the Englishmen
need action in the Lancastershire dis
trict in relation with the Oriental
trade. England may send a commis
sion of business men to China to solic
it business. .'/•••>»
