A NEW WAR STARTED

Seemingly, there is g war on between the woodpeckers and squir- rels that will eventually extermin- ate them.
 It is over a large stand of old growth high land hemlock, on the north bank of Lemon Creek.
 We called on the Forest Service to look into the situation but found the war had been known for some time
 In cutting these trees to supply the City of Juneau with fire wood we find the dry and semi-cured condition produces very large burrs and has become great feeding ground for the squirrels.
 The tops of these trees are dead, hard and dry, the woodpecker uses them in the early morning to, thump his bill on and send his challenge to friends and foes alike.
 The squirrel doesn't like this, so he attacks the woodpecker from behind, biting off his tail, causing him to lose his balance, falls over backwards, tears off his toe nails and down he goes and breaks his neck.
 The woodpecker defends himself by picking out the eyes of the squirrel; that puts him out of busi- ness, so on goes the war.
 Now to stop this fight we are going to cut down this excellent stand of timber and fetch 1t into town for fire wood. The Morris Construction Go. has started an extensive wood camp there, outlin- ing a ten-year program that will furnish the city with the best of wood available.
 Now our hearts are in sympathy with these poor little creatures in taking their homes, but we console ourselves that we are going to give the people of Juneau superior quality of wood that has great heat value.
 We are cutting this wood into any length that is necessary to fit your stoves. MT. E. A. Smith is our wood man Call him or the Nor ris Const Go. and we will tell you more about the war
 Any length, any time you want it." Is our slogan. -ady.
