The most of the timber is sold from
national forests with the condition
written in the contract that all debris
must be piled and burned in such a
way as to protect all young growth.
Outside OF the national forests and
the organized protective associations,
are large areas OF timbered lands on
which no fire protection is main
tanned. In these areas very destruc-
tive fires sometimes start and spread
to valuable timber, resulting in de-
struction of timber values. The de-
struction of these timber values de-
stroys potential future timber indus
tries, and should be stopped by law
in the interest of all the people.
These outlying timber districts should
be organized into protective districts
the same as the other timbered dis
tricts, and made to protect their
standing timber. This can only be
done by law, and public sentiment
must proceed the enactment of law.
The cast of this fire protection must
be paid by the timber protected, and
must be paid voluntarily, as is now
done in the protective districts, or
must be in the form of tax levied
against the timbered lands, or levied
against the logs taken from the land
in the form of an output tax.

 The interest in Alaska was mani fested, said MT. Rogers, by the great volume of mail received by the Out look Magazine as a result of the lrllcles on Alaska published by it last winter. The office was simply Hooded with letters from those in all the walks of life.

Last Trip This Season.

IliS present trip Will ee the last
 this season MT. Hayes said How
 ever many tourists, travelling alone
 or in small parties have been booked
 to the Westward and return to Ju-
 neau for 3 trip to Atlin and Daw- son, using the Estebeth service from Juneau to Skagway.
 In this way we have favored Ju- neau with many extra day stops, of considerable of our business said MT. Hayes. Next year the Travel Service Bureau intends to cater more to the Alaska businecs than it has this. We estimate that. approximate | ly 1000 people will be sent north next season on tour of Alaska. Tn the city of Les Angeles this year at least 2,000 people have been booked for various Alaskan trips. It is estimated that approximately A. 900 people have been unable to obtain accommodations for trips to the North.
 Fine Treatment on Ship. The wonderful treatment our party has received from the officers of the steamer Northwestern has done much toward making the tour 3 successful pleasure In all my ex- perience in travel I have never known a better staff of men, in their treatment of the passengers MT. Hayes said that cooperation of the cities of Alaska for publicity in the States should be given con siderable thought.
 l "If the cities of Alaska would group together and get> out one general booklet to be distributed in Southern California and other points along the coast and in the States 1t would be splendid aid in turning the tourist toward tkel North. My idea is to sell the round trip to the fartherest point North and in that way giving each city an opportunity to have a short time of the tourist"
 MT. Hayes has lived in the North west the past Is years and expressed himself as being enthusiastic for the growth of Alaska He has been in the transportation business the past 12 years and prior to the World War was located in Seattle, as gen cral agent of the Hamburg American Line.

MORE DISASTERS IN
NON-UNION MINES

How many Of the daily papers,
when reporting a mine disaster, do
not report whether the mine in which
the accident occurred was union or
non-union mine? The public is not
very often informed. II one will take
the trouble to keep track of the dis
asters and buys a book large enough
to record all of them, 1t will be found
that most of the accidents occur in
the non-union mines, which are far in
the minority.
The reasons why less accidents oc-
cur in union mines is plain. In the
organized mines the union sees to II
that the mines are watched and In
spected, gas tests are made at regular
intervals, and rescue equipment must
always be ready for immediate use.
Not a single detail involving the lives
of the miners is overlooked. Some OF
the Harbor's population may be sur
prised to learn that at one of the re-
cent disasters three hours we're lest
before rescue work commenced be-
cause rescue equipment had to be Dor
rowed from another mine. This mine
was non-union.
