TIGHTENED REINS
Repeated warnings on the par*
of the Daily Alaskan and the Kur
e-try Department of Alaska to
campers and hikers, about the seri
ous danger connected with the leav
ing of camp fires and the throwing
awav of burning ciiar and cigarette
stubs has been unheeded. This
same negligent spirit is no doubi

in this immediate vicinity.
Keuli2lng that the public, as a
rule, does not heed the warnings
pu" cut for protection of the for
ests and scenic sjpots, the frre war
den has set out with a determina
tion to weed out the ;>ersons guilty
and make an example of them. In
view of the Xact that timely warn
ings have been repeatedly given so
that j' must have come Xorcibly be
fore the general public, the move
ment cn the part oX the Xire war
den is to be commended. Those
who are found so grossly negligent
as to be responsible for the setting
e£ the fire should be punished and
jni-le an example, as it seems that
tha* is th^ only way in which peo
pie will awaken, and pay attuniiou
to the rules aud roguiatieiuj for
safety protection.
