TURNED OVER TO FOREST
GOURDS FOR PATROL WORK
One of the improvements over last
year, stated W. J. McDonald, forest
supervisor of the Chugach National
Forest, yesterday, is the two high
power “Casey Jones” gas speeders
which the Alaska Railroad has turn
i
ed over for use by the rangers in
this district. Formerly, Mr. McDon
ald said, hand cars were used in the
railroad patrol work. Naturally, tho
scope of control is enlarged with the
recent acquisition.
During the fire season it has al
ways been the custom of the fire
guards to follow all trains for a dis
tance of 20 miles or through the
heavily wooded areas where sparks |
from locomotives were apt to start a
blaze. The efficiency of the fire
t>atrol is now enhanced considerable
with the speeders and it is expected
dangers of forest fires along the
right-of-way cut down to a minimum.
Last week Mr. McDonald sent the
forest guards thru their paces at the
Rawing ranger station and yesterday
they went to their stations at Law.

Owing to snow conditions between
