lA HINT" AS GOOD AS
 A "kIck" SOMETIMES

The news of the Allied Victory at the Marne is indeed cheerful. We can all feel proud of the small part we at home have done in conserving food in order that the soldiers who are offering themselves in sacrifice may as well as need be to carry on their work Our work of conservation must ! continue just as consistently and per sistently as the fighting at the front must continue if we are to expect an i overwhelming victory. For this reas- minded of the present rules in ef- feet in Alaska governing the use of i flour and sugar.
 | Householders in towns and cities may not buy more than IS bbl of i flour or , pounds of sugar at any one time. Householders in the country may not buy more than 1-4 barrel of flour or 10 pounds of sugar at any one time. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PURCHASER HAVE MORE THAN THIRTY DAYS SUPPLY OF EITHER ON HAND.
 i Householders should not use more than 3-4 pounds of sugar per person per week.
 Do you realize what this means. If l shere are four in your family you 1 cbnuId not bava r,ora than 12 pound 6 of sugar on hand at any one time, Figure it out for yourself. Count the mouths to be fed and if. you have an over supply of sugar take it to any merchant and he will pay you cash for it. It should be realized that the sugar situation is serious. In the States the limit has been cut to 2 pounds per person per month. Mer- chants in Alaska have been restricted to 70 per cent of their purchases for ! the same period last year.
 Householders who are obliged to use wheat should not use more than a total of l 1-2 pounds of wheat flour or prepared Wnedl, III any loIHi pe' person per week.
 Let it be said that every householder in Ketchikan who found more thar q thirty days supply of either four ol sugar on hand has turned back the surplus to Ee re-sold to meet the dc mand. In doing this you save trans portation and what is most important release that much for immediate ship ment to France.

ORDERS TO POST
 MASTERS ON SHIP
 ADVERTISEMENTS

The Post Office Department author izes the following:
 Office of the
 Postmaster General
 Washington. July 20, 1918 instructions to PostIaasters:
 Your attention is called to the fol- lowing statement of the Secretary Of the Navy, published in The Official Bulletin of the Committee of Public Information on July 6, 1918:
 To the Press in America:
 The appearance of submarines on the Atlantic Coast makes it impera- tive that TO mention should be made in any newspapers either in the ad- yertising or news columns of the sail ing or departure, or location, or sup posed location of any ship in Ameri- can waters.
 This information conveyed by ad- vertising is as dangerous as in the news columns, and I am making this request to all the newspapers in the country in the assurance that they will cooperate with the Government in it's effort to prevent any information about ships reaching submarines which may be off the American coast.
 JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Secretary of the Navy My attention has been called to the gGct that the above request of the Sec. ratary of the Navy is being ignored by 9 number of publishers, and from in. formation received from several sources I am convinced that the pub ! lication of this class of news and ad. vertisements is actually being used ] to promote the cause of the enemies i of the United States in the present war You are, therefore, directed to promptly advise all publishers within 1 the delivery of your office that this l department will, after notice of these instructions, regard the publication ol such shipping news as giving aid and comfort to the enemy and that such matter is nonmailable under the Els pionage Act,

Dear MT. Rivard:

Dear MT. Rivard:-
 Just received some more papers from you and thoroughly enoyed read ing every word in them. After finished reading them I gave them to the other boys and they read them and were surprised to find them so newsy. They have more news in them than the Macon or Atlanta, Georgia papers. have, every one had good word for your paper.
 Some of the boys here did not know that Alaska belonged to the U. g., so I had to get busy and do a little ad- vertising. but I gave it to them straight and not padded.
 I guess ketchikan enoyed the Fourth Iof July more than I did, and 1 was thinking of the good times have had there for the last six years. was brought to the Base Hospital on the 2nd of July, and operated on for double Hernia. on the 3rd, so you see was pretty sick on the Fourth We have been treated royalty by every one here in the hospital and will be sorry when the time comes to leave for my regiment.
 The RedsCross and the Y. NJ. c. A. are also doing good work here in the hospitals. In the ward that I am in are 50 beds and they are all occupied mostly by Appendix and Hernia cases. We have very good times in here, the other day the Ladies of Macon came over and gave each of us a large dish of Ice Cream, we will re- member them always.
 The weather has Been pretty warm lately but is a little cooler today Last week we had little of ketchikan weather, plenty of rain.
 am able to sit up now and expect to be out of bed about Friday. And then I will get 4 weeks at the conval escent depot.
 I will always look forward to the arrival of the Miner. and thank you very much for the past editions.
 With Besr Wishes to you.

fisheries work at top speed to-day
 The salmon industry is expanding and the clam canneries are increas- ing their output. A law of 1917 au- thcrizes a new territorial fish commis- sion, which will construct fish hatch cries, protect the natural spawning. grounds, and otherwise increase the
 important Alaskan fish trade.
 Copper mines supply the greatest contribution from the Territory in war materials. The output of these mines has greatly increased to supply the demands of the allies since the out break of the war The high price of copper and the activities in the mines have attracted men there from the gold mines. Gold is of supreme inn portance now. The country needs a vast supply to back up loans and se- cure its credit. Secretary McAdoo says that the supply of gold, after munitions and food, is the most inn portant problem of the Nation. So the great gold fields of Alaska are one of the financial securities of the United States.
 Deposits of rare metals, tin, anti mony, and tungsten are being devel- oped. Chrome, formerly shipped at expense of much tonnage from New Caledonia, is mined in Alaska now. The Geological Survey is concentrat- ing its investigation of mineral re- sources to those of value in the war
 Valuable spruce forests are con- tracted to the Government for aero plane manufacture.
 | Alaska is a country rich in valua- i ble resources. The scattered popula- tion is engaged in rushing them to the places of consumption for the war. In the meanwhile they are making every effort not to call upon the States un- necessarily except for news. The Alaskans are always eager for that. They prove that it takes more than iclimate to freeze the patriotism of Americans.

From Point Barrow and Kotzebue Sound the word comes, "We're strong for the war" There is no such thing as a halfway measure with "the che ckako" of the far North. Let him once express his approval of a policy and you can be sure he's all for it. Alaska is bearing her full burden of the war, and hers is no tottering SUD- port.
 War funds are oversubscribed in Alaska Returns from the third lib erty loan show the Territory is 240 per cent American. This is the high est in the twelfth district, Arizona following with 201 per cent of the as- sessed amount
 People in the land of the northern lights get excited over the buying of bonds. They go for them enthusi- astically, as if they were tickets for the Fourth of July midnight ball game. At the town of Ketchikan they crowd ed to the banks the first morning of the loan. Five minutes after the win dows opened the town had filled it's quota. Fairbanks, the most remote incorporated city in the United States, took out five times its quota in liberty bonds.
 Red Cross membership covers 80 per cent of the 50,000 white, and the war fund drive raised s147,00O over seven times their estimated share At the Government coal mines many of the laborers have pledged generous month ly contributions to the Neuilly Hos pital.

 Mere distance fails to daunt the ever affixed Hess" to as many days as New York City. Also there has been strong voluntary movement to les sen the imports of food from the States. Clubs and oranizations have pledged themselves to eat no meat but that of Alaskan animals. They dine on moose, caribou, and mountain sheep
 War gardens dot the arabic land. At each of the native schools small Indians bend over their gardens. Their products and the interest their success has aroused in the adults will go far toward relieving the problem of food for the native population. This has heen a serious question. A short age in the fish supply created hard ships among the fishermen Fur bearing animals have been scarce, and the prices of belts have decreased, so that hunters have had to change their means of Livelihood Through the schools the Bureau of Education is trying to teach the natives the value of raising foodstuffs, not only for themselves but for the miners and others in the vicinity.
