URGES MORE WORK
IN REFORESTAT|0N
Former Government Expert
Sees Unemployment SoIu-
ton in Plan.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 25.-For IS
years William r. Fraser, general man.
ager Of the Harold Lloyd Corporation,
was a member of the United States
Forestry Service. This work is still
close to his heart-perhaps his first
interest in life. Here are his views on
the subject:
mo more important question is be-
fore the American people today than
that Of reforestation. Look at the fig
ures! There is now left in this coun-
try some 10000. 900 acres of CONNER
cial timber, of which the Government
owns about 20 per cent. The other 30
per cent is in private hands. Disas-
trouS forest fires are consuming 4,000,-i
600 acres a year and commercial cut
ting accounts for another 1000 ,000-to-
gether 100000 acres. Divide that fig
ure into 130,000.000, and what does It
signify? Just this: In less than 20
years our forests will be gone. Then
what? Well have to import expensive
wood from the outside. But this isn't
the important thing"
Mr.. FraSer's courteous, mild manner
Of speech never leaves him even when
he discusses the future of forests, but
AAo fACWo dAC AAO1C t4tC ACSc uCCLSlNCs
THE whole problem Of rainfall,
moisture, water tables and irrigation Is
tied up in a proper forest system" he
continued. You see, a forest area will
retain "a per cent Of the rainfall, as
against IL per cent in a deforested
area. The far-reaching Importance of
that statement is tremendous"
Instead Of spending millions Of dol
lars in new irrigation projects, this for
est expert thinks, those millions would
pay for themselves many times over If
used bv the Government In a sane and
constructive plan Of national reforesta-
ton
1T takes 40 years to grow a yellow
pine tree eight inches in diameter, yet
We think nothing of ruthlesSly cutting
such tree down to meet O temporary
situation" said Mr.. Fraser.
For that reason he would compel
every private landowner to plant a tree
for every one he cuts and, further, he
would encourage reforestation by ex-
empt1ng from taxation all private lands
In which adequate REPRESENTATION is
being adequately effected.
Relieve the unemployment problem
by putting thousands of men to work
in this virtually important and con-
st-uctive field" said Mr.. Fraser.
An excellent suggestion at this par
ticular time.

TO SOUTH FOR
FLYING FIRM

E. e. Borland, pilot for the
Bennett-Rodebaugh Air Transpor-
tation Company, with headquart-
ers at Fairbanks, is a passenger
for Seattle on the Queen. He
arrived from Anchorage on the
yesterday morning
and has been visiting with his
uncle, DR.. w. A. Borland of this
city. The trip south is being
made to study advanced airplane
designs and to make an extensive
survey of late methods of air
travel. isa
Pilot Borland has been with
the Bennett Rodebaugh concern
for sometime in the capacity of
pilct and during the summer
made many remarkable trips
throughout the interior.
1t is expected that while south,
Borland will negotiate for the
purchase of new equipment. The
Bennett Rodebaugh Company has
enjoyed a steady growth since
its founding in 1919 by j. Rode
baugh. who was at the. time a
on the Alaska Rail
read, and since that time has
added each year to the number
of planes operated. The last two
or three years has witnessed such
an increase in popularity of air
travel that the officials plan to
further increase the scope of fly
ing and add several new modern
planes to those already owned.
The large Boeing plant in
Seattle will be visited by Borland
as will other plants devoted to
the manufacturing of planes. 1t
was announced by Borland before
leaving that he would return
after about a month.

A ehuttle service with smaller
planes OF the same type as the

Gov. Parks predicted this shuttle
service would prove to be a much
more profitable investment than
the company itself anticipates. He
based his forecast on the remark
able success attained by companies
in interior Alaska since 1920. From
one antiquated plane operating
there in that year the fleets have
grown to-. number II and opera
tions have been uniformly sue
cessful, he said
Big Advance Made
The stationing of an alienist at
Morningside Sanitarium was char
acterized by the Governor as a
great advance in the method of
caring for Alaska's insane. He
pointed out that this step was re-
quested by the Pioneers of Alaska,
at the last meeting of the Grand
Igloo. He was confident that an
alienist. to have complete jurisdic-
tion over its A la s kan inmates.
would take up his station at Morn
ingside sometime next April.
Funds. he added, would later be
available for local study of con
ditions with a view of having es-
tablished in Alaska an institution
for the insane.
President Charles f. Bannell OF
the Alaska Agricultural College
and School of Mines, is getting
much cooperation from Federal
Officials for his program for the
school, the Governor said. All OF
them are anxious to aid in putting
the college in it's feet. DR.. Bunnell
