CONTROL OF HOME
 GUARD IS QUESTION

The standing of the Home Guards in their relation to the Councijl Of Defense and the governor of the Territory, and their right to select officers, were discussed by the Guards last night after they had returned from paying their respects by marching, jointly with the Elks, to the city dock where several Of the enlisted men were embarklng for Fort Seward.
 Governor Riggs first read a com munication from the military com mittee of the Alaska Territorial Council of Defense, in which they recommended the resignation of the present acting captain and acting lieutenant of the Home Guards. It seemed to be the unanimous opinion of the committee, composed of Jas. A. Smiser, John Reck, s. Hellenthal and Claud Erickson, that their ap- pointment of officers had only been temporary appointment in order 9 perfect an organization that later should be governed by suchh regula' lions as the laws permitted, or the Home Guards decided to adopt, in the absence of rules and regulations governing them. The matter was finally leftt standing for further COL; sideration.
 It was the Governors opinion as expressed last night, that no organ izatiou could exist of military nature not directly under the com mand of the Governor of the Ter ritory or under federal control.
 The general opinion seemed to be that as a voluntary organization without arms, they should have the privilege of selecting their own lead CTS. Incidentally Governor Riggs stated that the bills of lading had been received advisingg him that TOO new rifles and ammunition had been shipped. These guns are some that had been manufactured for the Russians but not delivered to them.

SAVED WHEAT TO FEED,
 AMERICAN ARMY FOR MONTH

In other words, they have saved, since April Is, the equivalent to 14,S95. 900 pounds.
 The Federal Food Administrator for Texas has taken the position that every State should actually save enough flour out of it's nor nal consumption to feed the boys 1t has placed. in service.

SULPHUR IN ALASKA

The known sulphur deposits of Alaska are of volcanic origin and in the belt of active volcanoes that extend through the Aleutian Is lands and Alaska Peninsula. The depoits on Unalaska and Akun is lands and near Stepovak bay, on Alaska Peninsula, were examined in the summer of 1917 by A. G. Mad dern of the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, The examinations showed that tho there is some sulphur. at each place examined there is little hope that any of t can be Urofitably mined at present or in the near future, for the deposits are of small areal ex- tent and are probably shallow; sup plies and labor are not at hand, the open season is short, the diff culties of transporting the material from the mines to ships would be great and the haul to the larger markets would be long. A brief summary of the more important re- suits of the investigation of these deposits has been published and will be sent on application to the Director of the Geological survey at Washington, D. c.

STRANGE Fl|GH1 {. 0f DUCKS 0N
 HE YUKON

Dawson, July 20. - A singular movement of ducks IS reported a long the Yukon river. Night before last Nels Macdonald. the White Pass night watchman. and the police on the night patrol noticed great procession of ducks coming down the Klondike river, and flying toward Sunnydale. They were so numerous and continued to come in great nun bers for two or three hours, and looked Nels says, like 6 cloud of black. Arrivals by steamer re- port the Yukon river alive with great flocks of ducks between DaW- son and Whitehorse. It is believed some great forest fires or other exceptional conditions of nature to the north of Dawson has caused this early and unusual movement Of wild fowl. AS 8 rule the ducks do not fly in any numbers until late in the fall after the heavy frosts |.and after the young are well ma tured. Bert Lamb, who arrived from the McQuesten and the upper Stew art this week, reports that the young ducks were barely able to paddle along the streams, and in no condition for flying with their parents.
 Chief Isaac reports that & forest fire got a big start on the hillside this side of Moosenide creek a few days ago, and that he called out his men at the village and formed bucket brigade, and, after a desperate fight of several hours, sue ceeded in stopping the flames. The chief fought with the others, and at one time was nearly suffocated by the smoke. He says the fire was started by an aged Peel River In- dian, supposed to he over 100 years old, who arrived recently, and who biult 6 fire in the brush for some un known cause, possibly not realizing the danger it would be. The chief feared the fire might sweep south to Dawson.
