FOREST FIRES DEEIEISE
*
- .n ••• , -- •**-■*<
The annual fire report for the Chu
gach National Forest, which has Just
been completed by the local forest
office, shows a total of only 14 fires
during the calendar year 1926, as
against 35 fires for the year previous.
The total acreage burned over this
year was 200 as against 4,207 last
year. Damage caused by fires this
year was $23g, last year $2100. Cost
of suppression this year $1,263, last
year $9,572.
Seven of this year’s fire occurred
along the right of way of the Alaska
railroad, and all but one were in the
Anchorage rangeT district. For the
first time in the history of the for
est, a fire occurred this year in the
Prince William Sound district.
More effective public co-operation,
increased protection personnel, better
fire equipment, and more modern sup
pression methods are gradually re
ducing forest fire damage on the
! Chagacdi forest. For example, the
the number of fires reported in 1926
equals only half the average num
ber per year during thje last te^
years. This, too, in spite of an ex
; ceptionally dry summer. Damage
figures and suppression costs show a
like downward tendency. During the
10-year period ending with 1926, the
average annual damage figures for
the Chugach forest amount to $1521
and the cost of suppression to $1,842.
Next Steurday being New Year is
the signal for another day’s Tacation

du&trial plants, warehouses, merchan
dise stocks which were destroyed or
seized by German military authorities i
in the war area, constitute some of 1
the numerous other items in the cata- ^
logue of American claims. J
The original value of German pri- i
vate property seized by the United «
States is estimated by German offi
cials as exceeding $500,000,000. Large
parts of those assets have been releas
ed by the Alien Property Custodian,
either because they wered held illegal
ly which was lost to Germany thru
the Treaty of Vercailles.
One of the largest claims held
against the American government by
German nationals is that for about 100
German ships seized in American
ports. They were commercial ves
sels with an approximate gross ton
nage of 600,000. In a suit brought
before the United States Court of
Claims the German owners placed the
value of the fleet at approximately
$300,000,000. Among the vessels were
the pick of the North German Lloyd
and Hamburg-American passenger
fleet. The value of the German ra
dio station at Sayville, Long Island,
and of various German patents taken
by the American government also
await adjudication.
