FOREST PROTECTION
WEEK

The forest fire season OF 1924 in
chis district promises to open unusual
~ early, according to predictions Of the
local forest officers. There was less
than the normal amount Of snow last
winter, and consequently the ganger-
Gus season is advanced.
Forestry officials are busy prepar-
ing for any contingency. Fire tool
caches have been overloaded, equip
ment put in shape anG distributed to
atragetic positions. Fire guards will be
paced on duty as soon as there is any
danger Of fires spreading
The season of 1923 was more severe
from forest fire standpoint that the
average year. nty-eight fires were
reported in this district of the Chu-
agch National Forest during the year.
The area burned over aggregated g.
OH acres, or an average of 108 acres
70 each fire. Fortunately, most of these
fires occurred in old burns or other de-
nuded areas, and consequently little
virgin timber was destroyed.
The average number Of fires report
ed in the last ten years was 26 year,
with an average burned area Of 112
acres to each fire, or total of nearly
10000 acres burned-over land for the
whole period The total damage charg-
able to forest fires during this period
would exceed $4,000. This takes into
account only the fires within the
boundaries of the Chugach National
Forest and in what is known as the
Anchorage ranger district. Unreport-
ed fires occurring outside the forest
boundaries probably caused just as
much damage, but of this there is no
record.
Keeping fire out Of our forests, ac-
cording to the forestry people is mer-
ely matter of education. All of the
fires occurring in this district are man
caused. That means that the careless
ness Of our citizens has cost the COM
munities Of this part Of Alaska not
less than one-third of million dol
lars in the past ten years.
This represents needless and pre-
ventable drain on one of our chief re-
sources. Public sentiment can and
should put stop to this tremendous
waste.

LOCAL 'NE: WIS
0CEAN-GOING FOXES
 NEARING DESTINATION

George Goshaw's ocean-going foxes are on the last lap of their long voyage to Shismaref. MT. Go- shaw gave the little animals a good rest in Nome since the ar rival of the Victoria before they were loaded again on the Schooner Silver Wave on Wednesday.
 The introduction of fox breeding in these parts is looked upon with interest by Nome people, as the success of the enterprise will bring in million dollar enterprise to the section. The present stock. numbering 103 blue foxes are in way an experiment, as the long ocean voyage might have some bad effect upon the animals. With this in view, Mir. Goshaw has ex- ercised the utmost precaution to see that they are in good condi- ton and properly attended to on the voyage.
 Corrals are made ready at the farm to receive the shipment and it is expected that everything will he in readiness when they ar rive. On account of the deep snow, the pens will have to be enclosed from the top as well as the sides and it is a practice with breeders to bury heavy wire mesh beneath the ground in the corrals to pre- vent escape by burrowing. This is precantion which is not neces- sary on islands, which are the flvorite breeding grounds of the fox raisers on this account.
 MT. Goshaw had expected to bring a forty thousand dollar ship ment of the silver-tip variety of foxes but the sailing date of the Victoria would not permit delivery or them in time. These will prob ably be added to the new farm as early as possible. however next Spring.
