WARNING POSTED
 FOR FOREST FIRES

To All Employes of the Alaskan Engin-
 eering Commlssion;-
 Your attention is invited to the fact that during the summer months there is a great danger of destructive forest fires starting from any small camp fire or smudge or any carelessly thrown match es or lighted tobacco, and causing an in- calculable loss to the country. During the construction period of the road this menace is especially threatening. It is the desire of the Alaskan Engineering commission that all of its employees care fully guard against leaving any smolder- ing fires or ttoughtlessly throwing match es. lighted cigarettes, or anything of like nature, i'll any place where there is any chance for it to cause a fire All fires should be carefully extinguished with water or buried with earth in such manner as to prevent any possibility of spreading. A fire i'll moss may remain unnoticed for several days and then be famed into fame by chance breeze. If each man will take it upon himself to observe all possible precautions the dan ger of fire will be reduced to minimum. In order that proper steps may be taken to prevent the spread of fires every em- ploye is expected to comply with the following instructions:
 As soon as a fire is discovered, if it is already beyond control, the matter should be reported 10 the nearest Engineer who will issue proper instructions i'll the premises.
 The Engineer will notify this office and the Fire Guard or Special Agent of the General Land Office as soon as possible, and if the fire is liable to destroy valu- able timber he will take steps to control 1t, using whatever employees he may need. The time of the men SO employed is to be kept separately and charged against the general land office. The ac- count will be properly adjudicated by the representative of the general land office when he arrives. The foreman or other person III charge of any work IS authorized to supply men to assist Ill the control or extinguishing of fires when called upon to do so by the Fire Guard or Special Agent of the General Land Office, it being understood that they will receive the same wages during the time they are thus employed as when engaged in their regular work.
 If 1t is discovered that any person has left fire without taking proper precau- tions to prevent it's spread all of the facts should be reported at once to the Fire Guard or Special Agent for appropriate action. Strict compliance with these in- struct1ons is requested.
 Thomas Riggs, IT,,
 Member of Commission.
The Nenana news., 1917-06-02

One of the strongest arguments in favor of planting potatoes for home consumption is the fact that we cannot depend on neiehboring towns or Outside markets to SUD- ply our needs at Unreasonable prices. Potatoes are not plentiful, but there is reason to believe that the shortage has been greatly exasger- ated by speculators in order that consumers mi sht be the more cas- fly induced to pay the prices de- manded. In any case it is not right that the people of Nenana should be compelled to pay fifteen cents a pound for potatoes that can be raised profitably for third that amount. and the one sure way to preventa a recurrence ot the pres ent situation is to plant enough to last us thru the coming year.
 Not only should we do this as matter of self-protection: it is also our patriotic duty to relieve the Outside markets as much as pos sible of the responsibility of feed ing us. It is simple matter to grow all the potatoes needed here and the soil in and about Nenana is sufficiently fertile to insure the growth of variety of other crops, the cultivation of which will make us very largely self-supporting.
 Alaskans must learn to depend upon themselves for food and the crisis thru which our country is passing at the present time makes it imperative that we begin at once to make our hills and valleys pro- duCe those things which war con- ditionS turnout the United States have created an unprecedented demand.
