PENNY WISE FOUND FOOLISH

One of the big problems facing the
nation today is the saving or elimi-
mating waste of the timber resources.
We are using our timber four times as
fast as it grows. Timber burned by
forest fires is used timber "a useless
waste when we consider over half OF
the fires are man-caused. National
efforts are being made to reduce man.
caused fires. Each year time and mon
ey are expended. In face of this,
Roadway is not being made as rapidly
as should be. Has the cart been put
before the horse?
Who sets the fires, anyway? Usu-
ally they are charged to railroads,
campers, smokers, hunters, incendiar-
les, and the like, which boiled down to
the essence means, mere man." He
is the man we are after and 100000
600 more of his kind There is where
the seat of the whole matter lies and
there is where the cure must be ap-
piled. And that cure is not going to
be accomplished, either by buying
long handled shovels or by hiring mer
to use them
There is just one effective way OF
Seward daily gateway., 1924-04-24

there is a Ion gstretch of high lands
and bluffs interspersed with towering
mountains. 1t is believed that Wilkes
land is continuous to the South Pole,
and in all probability contains vast
deposits of oil valuable metals and Of
other minerals. In area it is almost
equal to half of the continental United
States.
The explorations of Commander c..
Wilkes are set forth in detail on
charts of the United States Navy and
of the British Admiralty. The title of
the United States to the territory is
generally admitted, for in all the "a
years since its discovery there have
been no other claims filed upon it..
But unless this country perfects it's
holding and provides for the govern
ment of Wilkes Land it is likely to
find itself involved in a controversy
over its control. Even now the British
are fitting out ship for south seas
exploration which may visit the ter
ritory and set up conflicting claims.
Great Britain is keenly alive to the
potential value of land holdings in that
part of the world. AS recently as July
of last year there was an order Of the
King in Council constituting the Ross
Sea sector of the Antactic Continent
British dependency under the juris-
diction Of New Zealand. That sector
adjoins Wilkes Land on the east and
the British title is based on discov-
cries by the British Captain Ross in
1910, the same year as the Wilkes ex-
petition. It is reported that in 1922
Ross sector yielded 81 100000 of whal-
ing revenues to New Zealand, and in
1923, 100000. In 1917 the British
extended their dominion by constitut-
ing the Falkland Islands Dependency
which now governs the sector between
20 and so degrees of west longitude.
Both of these British sectors extend
all the way to the South Pole.
Let us act before Wilkes Land suf-
fers the same fate as has befallen
other discoveries of American explor-
ers. In 1918 Captain David Porter of
the United States Navy discovered
and claimed the Marquesas Islands.
The discovery was not properly fol-
lowed up and in 1912 the French took
over the islands and have remained in
possession ever since. In 1921 Captain
Nathaniel Palmer, an American sealer
discovered Palmer Land, but the U. S.
was again negligent and that territory
is included in the British Falkland Is
lands Dependency. In 1881 Wrangell
Island, destined to become an import
ant station in the air route across the
North pole, was discovered by an Am
erican, but is now occupied by Brit
ish expedition.
The immense natural wealth of this
new land will slip from our grasp if
negligence such as followed other dis
coveries is to be continued. Future in
ventive genius will surely find a way
to make that wealth available. Pend
ing that THE all danger of loss of SOW
ereignty over the country should be
removed.

HELP THAT COUNTS

On the Routt National Forest in
District 2, Rocky Mountain District,
a cattleman was driving bunch of
beef cattle to a shipping point.
He saw a smoke in the Forest, turned
the cattle into the first field he came
to returned home, got the flivver and
started with another man for the fire.
Before he arrived he was advised that
a sawmill was afire, that the surround
ing timber was not menaced and that
there were plenty of men on the job
to do everything necessary. He return
ed, picked up his cattle and went on.
Much nearer at home we have g
case of this kind of help. A prospec-
tor found a fire, last summer, which
he was not able to handle. He walk
ed seven miles and rowed eight miles
in order to get word to the local for
est officer. This is help that counts

NEW LANDOF US.
MAY PROVE Be RICH

WASHINGTON, D. c., April "a
Although the flight Of the Shenandoah
to the North Pole in search of new
territory has been abandoned for the
year, the intervening period may be
profitably employed by organizing a
more effective administration of lands,
title to which the United States ac-
quired by reason of the enterprise Of
other American explorers.
Such territory is Wilkes Land, dis
covered and charted by Commander C.
Wilkes of the United States Navy in
the course Of tour Of the South Seas
in 1910. The bold coast line Of that
continent extends for no less than L.
500 miles approximately along the
Antarctic Circle from the Tooth to the
16Oth meridians east Of Greenwich.
It's eastern end is about 1000 miles
south of New leland. Thence westerly
