No, that noise you will hear al dawn tomorrow and all through the day will not be pitched battle neither will it be a skirmish; it will only be Juneau sportsmen whangine away with the old scatter guns at the ducks on the Gastineau Channel Bar.
 The reason for the noise is the fact that tomorrow, September l, is the day that the duck season and season for all migratory birds opens in Al aska and the air tomorrow and for some time thereafter will be filled with birdshot out where the ducks fly
 During the recent stormy weather there were smiles on all the faces of those to whom the quack, quack of the Mallard is music, for they said. fine weather for ducks" When the sun peeped from behind the clouds this morning it was greeted with scowls by the scatter gun men as they all know that it makes the ducks and geese fly high.
 The deer season also opens tomor- row and many people are planning to take down "Old Meat in the Pot" from his hook and go after their winter meat The deer are said to be plentiful this year, but lingering far up on the hills. ,aN
