A fire reported miles in extent drove prospectors out of a section of the Hog River country, consuming an wuntold amount of valuable timber and mar- ten cover. Fires, like these, in 1939 alone, have caused losses in fur and | timber, necessary to the develop- to be return to town | ment of any given territory, that can exchange. hardly be replaced. From July 6 until September 10 | three highway patrolmen covered a | total of 14,000 miles on Interior Al- aska’s 2,000 miles of road. They contacted some 1,000 or more min- ers, woodcutters, ranchers, and other residents in constant effort to in- auguurate the program of fire pre- vention and to enlist the aid of these residents in the detection of fires along the highways. Complete Picture Patroimen mapped in roads and trails, noted areas of high hazard timber and game areas, watershed cover deficiencies, etc., giving the Division of Fire Control a gomplete picture of the conditions on that portion of the public domain cov- | ered by the patrols. The railroad patrol established through the cooperation of the Al- aska Railroad, covered a total of 111,000 miles over a patrol route of 315 miles. Most steam trains were trailed at time distance of twenty minutes, allowing any fires started | by the trains to gain enough head- way to be easily spotted and yet not to become too large for one man to corral and extinguish. Daily contact | was made with all section foremen {and railroad employees along the patrol with the purpose of further- ing prevention, detection, and sup- | pression of fires adjacent to the Al- | aska Railroad. | Prevention Education An extensive reconnaissance trip was made, gathering data and for- warding fire prevention education in the following districts: MeGrath, | Ophir, Takotna, Flat, Bethel, and downriver Kuskokwim points. An- other trip with similar objectives was made on the Kenai Peninsula, contacts being made at Kenai, Hom- er, Seldovia, Iliamna, and Seward. Residents in both these areas are interested in the plan of fire pre- vention and suppression. The administrative personnel has | utilized all available channels through which prevention informa- tion can be put before the public. I”I'he cooperation of all local news- papers has been gained and their columns open for any discussion deemed opportune by the Senior | Forester. The Anchorage radio sta- tion, KFQD, made available all news | items through radio broadcasts. Lo- cal organizations such as chambers of commerce, sportsmen’s claibs, etc. have received talks on fire preven- tion favorably. Booth Exhibits Booth exhibits were used to furth- er the prevention and suppression program at the Matanuska Valley Fair at Palmer and the Tanana | Valley Fair at Fairbanks this sea- son. Various measures of cooperation were offered by the U. S. Forest Service, CCC, Alaska Railroad, Na- tional Park Service, Alaska Game Commission, Alaska Road Commis- ' | sion, Civil Aeronautics Authority.‘ Soil Conservation Corps. U. S. Land Office, and many private individuals and organizations. Senior Forester W. J. McDonald has left for Washington, D. C., to attend a conference where plans will be made for extending the scope of fire control on the public domain in Alaska.

ON SHIPPING OF BRITISH Well Known Author of‘War Planes, Submarines| Again Active, Min- istry Reports LONDON, Oct..23.—British Naval authorities admitted today that at- tacks by German submarines and war planes on allied shipping have again “become considerable,” but contended that the losses are small in comparison with the attack in 1917 when Germany began an un- restricted submarine campaign dur- ing the World War. The disclosure is made today of the sinking of two British vessels with a total of 14 missing persons and 30 survivors, Raids Significant British naval experts agree that from their point of view the raids| are most significant and show the development of raids by German war planes on British shipping at anchorages. In one raid, the 1600-ton steamer ‘White Mantle was sent down “some- where” in the North Sea. Fourteen of the crew are missing and known survivors are five. They landed at an east coast port Survivors on Island The 2300-ton coastal vessel Ven- | ture, owned by the Dover Navigation Company of London, was air bomb- ed and then submarined and in the explosion some members of the crew were killed. Twenty-five survivors landed on an island in two of the lifeboats of the sunken craft. Later one lifeboat reached a northern port awl a destroyer was sent to the sland for the other boat load. oo — Held Saturday Night Ballcens, hats, noisemakers and | tured Elks’ Ballroom.
