WORK STARTS IN SPRING
UNDER B. OF P. R.
i Making a trip to this region tc
confer with District Ranger W. M
Sherman regarding this field’s sea
son activities, W. J. McDonald, for
est supervisor of the Chugach Na
tional Forest, arrived in Seward
Saturday from his headquarters at
Cordova. Definite plans are being
made to carry out the trail con
struction program and complete
fire protection plans for this sec
tion of the Chugach forest.
The Bureau of Public Roads,
Supervisor McDonald reports, will
reconstruct the Seward Radio sta
tion road and extend the present
Girdwood road two miles which
will be of considerable assistance
to the various mining operators
now operating on the upper limits
of Crow creek. They will also
build three and one-half miles of
road on Afog^iak Island leading
from the head of Letnik bay to the
Federal hatchery which is located
on the shores of Afognak lake.
While American Forest Week
has been discontinued, he said,
there will be no let-up on the part
of the Forest Service to keep for
est fires down to a minimum.
By the end of June tie cutters,
operating between Seward and An
chorage, will have cut 70,000 rail
road ties which means the distri
oution of approximately $70,000 in
;his vicinity. There is still con
siderable merchantable timber ad
acent to the Alaska railroad and
t is hoped that with the coopera
;ion of the public, coupled with an
idequate patrol system, will be
cept in he titmber, to keep it free
)f fires.
Timber operations in Prince Wil
iam Sound this season are normal
ind the canneries are opening up
vhich indicates another busy sea
ion in that region.
Mr. McDonald will return to Cor
lova about the middle of this
nonth and return here early in
tfay for a month’s work in this
iistrict.
An umbrella was left in the !
jostoffice the other day. Owner j
nay have same by identifying it j

A freight train left the local
ards yesterday forenoon for the

COLD STORAGE FOR
KODIAK SEEMS REAR
I What looks to the casual obser
| ver at Kodiak more like a cold stor
’ age plant than anything that has
transpired during the last two
i years is the fact that agents of W.
J. Erskine have for the last week
been active in securing easements
for water mains across the pro
, perties of land owners within the
village of Kodiak and beyond its
limits. In addition to this they
are negotiating for the purchase of
[certain properties the acquisition
of which are necessary for the con
| struction and operation of the j
plant.
