WILD LIFE SUFFE.;S
FROM FOREST H.I.E.S

In an article fnr tho DiDSory4 tiOn Of Forest Firr P .nv .ntion Week. >pril 24 t, 90 -Llwr., a J. Palmer, he td of the rnindp.r industry in .Alt~ila rnr the Bnr,.aI, Of Education, after mallinp T special plea for the preservation of the benefitof the mighty herds of reindeer now grazing on them, continues as follows;
 If fire are permitted to run rampant. considerable forage is destroyed and the available range. for grazing reduced. The damage to lichon range iS particularly serious It may take a burned over lichen area as much as g years to come back: or where so badly burned that the cover of humus is destroyed. What it has taken Nature many years (perhaps eeneratior) to build up, fire may destroy in a few hours, Lichens are especially important to rais. ing of reindeer as comprising the principal winter forage.
 Damage to the range by fire involves not only loss of forage and trees but also of game and fur animals, since the small gro und animals, as we'll as the cover of vegetation are destroyed by the fire. The nests and youny sf game and birds are also destroy ed. Thus the burning over of large areas will result in a serious depl etion of the game and fur which ill turn initiates against the vel fare of the trapper; hunter and prospector. The waste of forage, trees, game and fur by fire per- haps has not been called sufficie ntly to peoples attention in the past, although a Territorial law is in effect providing penalty for the deliberate setting of range fires. What is needed for Alaska is a general fire. prevention pro gram, and in that connection a wide, educational propaganda against forest and range fires, particularly in the northern and western sections of the Territory reaching the Eskimos through the schools.
