Telephones in the forests may seem
out of place to the layman but if he
should ask any forester, ranger or
fire warden what his greatest aid
is in fighting forest fires, he would
very likely hear him specify the
telephone.
The national and state forests In
Virginia, and West Virginia, and the
state forests In Maryland comprise
about 100000 acres of timber land.
In this vast area there are rs fire
towers and lookout stations all OF
which have telephone connection
with central Offices OF the Bell System
or their connecting companies or by
forest fire service telephone lines to
points Of connection with long dis
lance circuits. Several thousand miles
of telephone lines can be utilized by
the forestry departments of these
states. The forest supervisors, rang
ers, and wardens of these forests are
frank to say that the telephone is
their main dependence in summoning
help to meet the emergencies that
arise when forest fires occur.
There are no national forests in
Maryland but the state Forestry De-
partment supervises the protection Of
about 100000 acres of TIMBER land
and j. R. Curry, assistant state forest
er at Baltimore in commenting on
the value Of telephone service in
forest protection recently said:
1T is universally recognized by
forest fire protective organizations
that the time elapsing between the
start of the FIRE and the reporting of
the FIRE to the agency responsible for
the suppression is a most important
factor In this phase of the work the
telephone is Indispensable Every
lookout tower must have a telephone.
Without TELEPHONE it would be use
less, In all sections where there is
telephone communication present ev-
cry warden has telephone. 1t would
be difficult indeed to imagine any
forest protective organization existing
without this means of communication.
"The State Department of Forestry
of Maryland receives, in all cases, ex
cellent service through the central
offices, Every telephone directory in

BY JOHN E. EALLAINE oLayinu the Foundation of Alaska" INTRODUCTORY
 CHAPTER |

lifting of the curtain from the stage of Alaskan scenes and activi- ties in the first quarter of the Twen- tieth century presents drama in true history on the4iast frontier with out parallel in American fiction or reality.
 The stage was more northerly, far- ther detached from the rest of the United States, beset with bigger and winter mountains and wf1er rivers, warmed by longer summer days and chilled by crisper winter nights, and the dense forests and the tall grasses were of greener hue, than any that the past frontiers had known.
 The parts and scenes of the drama offered in succession excited and stampeding prospectors and adven- turers pouring in by streaming thou sands from all continents of the earth to the latest of gold mining discoveries, and off again to newer camps; transitory. and shambling towns on the coast and on the banks of interior rivers which sheltered milling and noisy throngs for brief spell then faded to silent groups of empty and deserted log cabins; other towns of later origin grown steadily into modern communities, with stores and hotels, public schools and churches and lodges, and theatres and daily newspapers.
 Suddenly, out of a clear sky, riv- alries and clashes sl ruck fiercely in titanic blows to gain control of wall uable bodies of Alaska's mineral wealth, or to reap advantages of rail- road transportation, which reverbrat- ed to the breath of the continent, and embroiled three Presidential ad - ministrations in tempest or disaster.
 As a finale of the drama, a system of Government owned railroad. was in operation from Seward to Fair banks; telephones and telegraph and wireless united Alaska in a net of instantaneous communication, all converging at the central and con- trolling station in Seward, and thence by cable and wireless to the States and the world; six modern steamships operated from Puget Sound 10 Seward, and five out of Seward to the westward; the geo graphy of Alaska's future was defin- itely cast in routes of railroad travel and commerce permanently fixed /; new towns and little cities were dis playing all of the latest adjuncts and improvements of the most advanced civilizations; farms and gardens were being settled and improved, and new industries were rising.
 It was the formative period in the life and growth of Territory that embraces an area of 950,O00 square

miles in the same latItudes and un- der the same conditions of climate as the cores bonding areas. of North western Europe which support 27, 500,000 of the worlds hardest popu-
 latiop; a Territory whose mountains and valleys hold resources of coal and the precious metals, of timber. Iof grazing lands, and of productive agricultural soil, and whose waters sustain food fishes, in varieties and quantities which by comparison
 would make it the potential and pos sible home of twice '27,5OO0O0 of American citizens.
 But in the early days of the Twentieth century Alaska was un-
 known or misunderstood by the masses of the American people. They
 were eager only for the placer gold and the quick riches it offered Most iof them had formed preconceived ideas about Alaska from mistaken
 and misleading text books in schools, and they were unable or unwilling to Ireadjust their minds to the disclos- ures that explorations and investiga- tions brought to light They were indifferent to it's fate
 Only a few men at this period grasped the magnitude of Alaska s treasures and possibilities or the fav- orable aspects of its invigorating climate. This lack of knowledge and this indifference by the multitudes, amounting almost to a refusal to ad-
 init the truths before their eyes, off. ,set with keen appreciation of it's Opportunities by the few, made a problem and a crisis in the destiny
 of Alaska. Its issues finally awaken
 ed the masses of people.
 Was this land of empire in extent
 and of boundless opportunities to be given over as an exclusive field for private exploitation, or was it to be opened wide for settlement and de- Ivelopment as the home of many mil- l lions of Americans in the future with it's star on the American flag representing it in the Union of the United States of America?
  It is now universally agreed by all
 who have been familiar with Alaskan
 affairs for the last 25 years that the
 building and completion of the Gov
 ernment owned Alaska Railroad from
 Seward to Fairbanks, 470 miles in
 length with branches totaling 95
 miles more, was the event and the
 achievement that fundamentally
 changed the whole course of Alaska $
 future growth and development. 1t
 made certain the destiny of Alaska as land of homes and opportunities 1 for large share of the increasing
 millions in He United States who
 will occupy Inc last of the worlds
 vacant spaces, under a new policy
 of the Governments first venture in- \ to building and operating it's own
 railroads.
