FIRE PROTECTION COVERS 55 PER
 CENT FOREST LAND.

Approximately 223OOO00O acres of State and private forest potential forest lands were rer ported by the States being under form of organized protection from fire last year, according to the United States Forest Service. The acreage protected is 55 per cent of the total forest area classed needing protection
 Thirty-eight States cooperated with the Federal Government in fire protection under the Clarke McNary Act during the fiscal year ended June 30 1883. total of $3141 445 State and private funds spent in cooperative forest-fre protection in the fiscal year.
 The total area of protected State and private land reported burned by forest fires in the calendar year 1892 29o4,35O acres (of which 498,970 acres classed not having productive value) against 5854 270 acres in 1881. Of un- protected forest lands 38410OOO acres were burned in 1892 against 45,20OO0O acres in 1881.
 Within protected units the 380 acres classed productive forest land which were reported as burned over constitute II per cent of the forest area protected. It is significant that 93 per cent of the State and private land burned over was outside of protected units, the Forest Service states
 The number of fires reported for protected units of State and private landd for the calendar year 1882 was 55,575, against 56,443 in 1881.

The C. C. C. and More Forests.
(New York Herald Tribune0

It is encouraging to read that the lumber in- dustries acting under clause in the lumber code, have got together with Federal and State foresters and agreed upon forestry program which appears to be farsighted and constructive Apart from the technical aspects of forest management and State supervision the plan is interesting because it offers an opportunity for the further utilization of the 10. c. O. service. This organization, composed of youngsters most of whom have never before had a steady job, has been of the most successful of the relief measures of the New Deal With few exceptions the organization has transformed dis gruntled and demoralized young into self respecting workers. It has taken them on in poor health and undernouished and turned them into strong healthy youngsters. It has taught them the discipline of work and the companionship of camp life. To the credit of directors and camp members alike it must be recorded that drastic coercive measures were necessary The boys that the game was worth playing, so they conformed
 If, as now seems possible the C. C. c. camps are indefinitely prolonged part of a relief plan there will be much for the young men to do in connection with the forestry program. One of the handcaps of both national and State forestry bureaus has been their lack of to carry out necessary work of clearing and replanting Hence the c. C. c. has been boon to those forests where they have been stationed. The mere acquisition of extra forests is of little avail unless they can be protected and developed.

Constructive Thinking.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

It is well that the air-mail controversy is pass ing out of the stage of name-callng and venom, and is becoming instead the subject of careful plan ming for deal To be sure, there are some in the Congress and elsewhere who still prefer to center Jneir attention the methods chosen by the Administration to dramatze the issue. These charge the President with every sin, including murder, for his decision to have the army fly air mails.
 Such criticism is not only in bad taste, but it is inaccurate Granting that the nasty cancellation of the contracts and enlistment of army fers for the job constituted blunder at the White House it is unfair and impertinent to question the motives of the Chief Executive in seeking to correct an evil condition.
 Attention could much better be fixed on the work of the Houst Post Office Committee which is draft ing bill to restore commercial air mail under con- ditions fair to all concerned At is now reads this measure will provide air-ma service cheaply to the public with smaller loss to the Government and with opportunity to all air lines to bid in Iopen competition for the contracts. This is the important side of the air-mail controversy, not the endless pickering of politically minded men.
 It is inconceivabe that a full readustment of the air-man situation could have been made with out injury to some innocent parties. When eab- crate system has been built up on the basis of all that has been done, of going back to the time when those contracts made. Only by drastic faction could the Government clear the way for a thorough revision of air-mail arrangements It is probably true that less spectacular reconsideration lof the contracts would have served as we'll But il the carriage of the air mails restored to private lines under strictly competitive conditions and al reasonable rates, the major objective will have beer achieved

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER.

The allotment of funds by the Office of Indian Affairs to put to work, beginning April l, 15O Alaska Indians under the Emergency Conservation Work system is timely, indeed. Employment of Indians in the Territory through of funds pro- vided by Congress to meet the unemployment emer- gency has been slow to come, in fact great deal slower than justified by conditions that pre- vailed among them. It has seemed that not in every instance have those in charge of the funds, the Alaska Division of the Indian Service, been fully appreciatve of the basic for the alotments of Public Works funds made to them And until now there has been any allotment made from the CCC, or it is known in the Territory, ECW funds by the Office of Indian Affairs, although a large given it for the entire country a year ago.
 Due to that fact, there has been privation among local Indians that could have been averted had even small amount of money been diverted the Alaska Division of the Service It is gratify ing that action has been taken, even though it is so tardy. There should be delay in organizing ECW from the Indian population, and they should be put to work soon after April l, as is possible.

Hero of Myth and Legend.
(New York World-Telegram.)

Maybe the great popularity of baseball was created, as often has been asserted, by the bright young men of the press box who dress up the games in such rhetorical purple as would equally befit a coronation
 Maybe so but the sports writers even at that had gorgeous and inspiring material in the person of John McGraw
 He was a Paul Bunyan of baseball, Legend and anecdote were his by inaenable fitness The tallest of the stories about him were true even if not all were factual. Stories of his pugnacity his aggressiveneSS, his loud voice and nimble brain all are far more pertinent than the record of his amazing
 They say John McGraw was the man who made New York baseball town. He did more than that for in the far reaches of the Middle West and the Deep South and on the Pacific Coast where lads never saw big league game, still they read every line about McGraw and emulated his gestures. He was the man who first made baseball great dramatic spectacle.
 Tragic disappointment shadowed his latter days but that is the epic pattern. John McGraw was one Of the heroes, of mighty stature

 pletely electrical the apparent surplus would turn into a serious shortage
 If one mentally multipes his average monthly electric bill by 30 in computing the cost of operat- ing such home the figure will run beyond reason. Actually the rate, because of the great quantity used, would be much less than the usual one The engineers estimate the total cost month would be $45. This includes lighting, refrigeration air con- dtioning in the summer, cooking and scores of new appliances not yet the market that accom- psh amount of work equivalent to 864 servants.

RECOGNITION FOR REV. HUBBARD.

The decision of the National Geographic Society to cooperate" with Rev Bernard R. Hubbard widely known as the Glacier Priest" for his explorations in Alaska is timely and well-deserved recognition Of his worthwhile achievements during the past several years. Father Hubbard, as he is known by most Alaskans, has added greatly to the knowledge of some of Alaskas remote spots His daring exploits in sealing volcanic heights, interestingly described in his writings and the lecture platform have thrilled many thousands But he did not confne himself to the adventurous side of exploration The scientific studies he has made of volcanoes, of glaciers, and of all of the country in which he has travelled have a real and lasting value
 That this is recognized by leaders in the world of science could not be more convincingly demon- strated than by the National Geographic Socetys announcement it is cooperating with him in his work during the approaching season. That organza- ton does not lightly lend its its assistance to casual travellers. Many seek it. but only few honored. It is gratifying to Father Hubbards many friends that he has been signaly recognized It is timely because he has had to finane his own expeditions in the past earning by his lectures and writings the funds required to defray the costs which have not been neonsderable With this help, he should be able to take the field better equipped than ever and do even finer work than has been possible heretofore.

From The Empire

MARCH 19, 1914.
 J. T. Barron, head of the big cannery at Funter Bay, passed through Juneau on the steamer Spokane with a large number of men that were to be employed | in the establishment. MT. Bar ron was very enthusiastic over the outlook for the fishing industry as the result of the big get-to- gether that took place in the New Washington Hotel in Seattle on March 1. We have organized all of the Pacific Coast fishing interests under the name of the Pacific Fisheries Association, which takes in everyone connected with the business, including the work men," he said.
 The Hard Time" ball given by the young bachelors of Juneau to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, was a huge success. The Elks Hall was crowded to capacity and the gal leries were overflowing with spec tators attracted by the novel idea, Everyone had obeyed the edict to put on their old clothes, and come out for a good time.
 Juneau people thronged the Ju- neau Music House in the Malony building at it's opening during the afternoon. Among those who en- tertained the visitors were Mrs. Pearl Burford, Mrs. Alice M. Jordi- son, Professor Sumpf, Professor Close, Professor Popp and others. Edison, Victor and Columbia pho nographs were also being used.
 The person who fired the shot the previous morning that shat tered the window of the Nelson Shoe Store had made himself known to Father A. R. Grathman, for the purpose of making resti- tuition through him. He was poor man and felt very badly about the affair, and said it had taught him a lesson.
