JUNEAU FIRE LADS
 GET INSTRUCTIONS

Chief Milton winn of the Juneau fire department gave some stringent instructions at last nights general meeting of the department, governing the attendance at fires. Any member of the department missing three sue cessiye fires without valid excuse will forfeit his membership" is the decree set forth in those instructions, Other advice had to do with the observance of orders by heads of the different companies in the department. The names of tho formen chosen by the four companies together with secre- taries of the organization were submit ted.
 One of the most important things touched upon was the necessity of SC curing cooperation from the city gov ernment looking to the protection oi the firemen. This is considered es pecially necessary at the time of fires and as step in this direction 1t is probable that badges will be ordered at once for the members of the de partment. Chief Vim will have con sultation governing crowds at fires The plan will be to keep citizens back ana out of the way so that the fire men will have a chance to work.
 During the meeting a dividend amounting to $154 was divided among members as compensation fro mthe city for attendance on fire duty during the month of July.
 It was decided to so back to the old regular meeting night. the first Tues day of each month.

YUKON PREPARES TO
 FIGHT FOR EMPIRE


 With the other sections of Canada Yukon Territory people are offering their services to the British Empire in the great war in which 1t is now en- gagged. Members of the mounted DO. lice and others have offered their ser vices. and active steps are being made to join the Legion of FrontIersmen' which 1t is proposed to organize in Canada.
 The Whitehorse Star gives the fol- lowing information concerning this force in British service:
 "At this time the Legion of Front. iersmen offers all opportunity to those having certain useful qualification who do not belong to regular organizations, of offering their services in time of war. There are great many such men in the Yukon Territory,
 "The Legion, it is safe to say, has Q full regiment of one thousand such men with veteran officers under Lt. Col Driscoll D, S. O, now under arms in Great Britain.
 "There is every chance that such a body of troops will be among the first to be at the front and that from the numerous commands scattered abroad throughout the world steady stream of men will be available to keep this regiment in the field at its full strength
 "The membership in July was $500. The qualifications are residence in a frontier country under frontier condi- tions, packers, axemen, hunters, guides rivermen, miners, prospectors and others capable of undertaking certain useful and necessary duties indispen- sible to troops on active service. Ex- members of regular army, navy and colonial militar police are also elig- ible. This force has it's disposal the service of some very able officers, as may be seen from the Gazette, copy of which may be seen at the local bank"
 Mounted Police Would Fight.
 The Whitehorse Star, speaking of Whitehorse people who desire to serve their country says:
 Since England has become involv- ed in the European war, many loyal subjects have come voluntarily to the front and offered their services to aid in maintaining the honor and integrity of the British Empire. Among those in Whitehorse who have offered their services are nine of the twelve mem- bers of the local Royal N. w. M. ?. detachment, Captain Acland being the first to volunteer"

In spite of the confident tone of the
remarks of Charlie Whites hackers,
we can see nothing but defeat ahead
for him in his battle with Willie
Ritchie tonight in Milwaukee. The
fact that White is a local man I'M
doubtedly has something to do with
the fixing of the odds, which make
the champion a 1O-to-7 favorite.
In other cities there is a sleeper
price on Ritchie.
White is a good fighter, make no
mistake about that, and a defeat to-
night will not lower his prestige one
bit. All of the other leading light
weights have been up against the
Ritchie game with dire results to
themselves.
All arrangements have been made
for handling a record crowd tonight.
Special trains will leave at 5:45 and
6:1O over the Northwestern and CLIO
on the c., M. & st. P. The trains will
return half an hour after the fight
is over.
Richie is getting a guarantee of
$4,000, with the privilege of taking
As per. cent of the gate receipts.
White is to receive 221a per cent of
