BLACK HILLS HOPE SOON
 TO PRODUCE HELlUM GAS

DEADWOOD, s. D., Sept. 30-Foot- hills of the Black Hills of South Da- kota are offering the latest hope that a supply of helium gas is available near here for use of the war and navy departments in furthering ex- periments with lighter-th -than-air craft
 This discovery was made by Dr. Dor sey Lyons, assistant director of the federal bureau of mines, while investi- gating the possibility of treating blue ores" cheaply enough so that their valuable metals may be extracted at a profit.
 Nasty analysis of gas taken from wells driven near St. Onge and Belle Fourche, s. D., showed it odor- less, impossible to ignite and of a lower specific gravity than ordinary Illuminating gas,, pr. Lyons said. La
 boratory tests are to be made to de- termine definitely whether the gas is helium, and whether it exists in sufficient quantity to make develop ment feasible.

fraternals organizations are to take part as an organization in trying to point the way to the solution of AL aska problems then there should be some way so that the composite judgment of those citizens whose in- terest in Alaska is fully equal to that of those who are members of the Pioneers of Alaska may be expressed. The writer is member of the Pio- neers of Alaska-has an Alaskan res idence that dates back for 27 years, and believes in the order thoroughly However, the Pioneers of Alaska. rep resent, comparatively speaking, only a small part of these who live in the Territory, all of whose interests are here, and who are vitally affected by government in the Territory. No bloc of the people can possibly rep resent the whole unless the whole have selected it for that purpose.
 The Empire is not, generally speak ing, favorable to the idea of forming secret societies for action on matters that concern all the people. It be- llieves it would be better if the Pio- Ineers of Alaska would restrict their activities as an organization to ques- tions which directly concern them selves or to those upon which there is no division of public sentiment. If the Pioneers of Alaska should permit Itself to develop into a political or
 ganization it's life would not last Hong. The danger to societies which permit their leaders and representa- tives to get into controversial matters outside of strictly society affairs is that a few delegates, or officers, or local branch or so, may take po-
 sition in such way that it will be represented that they are speaking | for the whole membership which may never have been consulted on the subject at all.
 Usually meetings of secret fratern- al societies are attended regularly
 by a small percentage of the mem bers. That is also true of societies and organizations which are not se- cret. For instance, we have seen
 many cases where the officers of a society have attempted to pledge the votes of all men engaged in certain ocations, those of all the members l of certain races, etc., and frequently
 the result is Reorganization or, at
 least internal troubles.
 l This is not said in criticism of
 action that has been taken by the
 Pioneers of Alaska, though some of
 the local branches of that organiza-
 tion have stepped dangerously near the brink of controversial matters,
 but it is suggested by the possibilities
 indicated in the letter to the Alaska Weekly
 If there is a demand for a frater
 nal organization that would be strict ly Northern, membership in which

SOCIETIES AND POLITICAL
 PROBLEMS.
(From the Juneau Empire)


 A correspondent whom the Seattle Alaska Weekly from Nome describes as responsible" writing to that pa per, urges the formation of a society in Alaska in which all Alaskan vo- ters might be eligible for member ship to act in conjunction with the Pioneers of Alaska in calling Alas ka's need to the public. The writer says:
 This Society would of course, in no way interfere with the organi- zation of the Pioneers; they would still retain their identity as Pio- neers, but it seems to me, at least, as one of those who loves Alaska Out still not eligible as mem Der of the Pioneers) that they should assist and materially air in the organization and formation of such a Society.
 It seems to me that the neces sary qualifications for voter should be sufficient for time re quirements in such a proposed So- ciety Such an organization, I be- lieve, would, in time, gain large membership, and I think that the wants and desires of Alaskans could be made known much fas- ter through such an order, because when an opinion is desired on cer tain legislation which may be pend ing before Congress, the parent body would request the lCcal bod ies to make known their 'si';oLs on the question; they in turn would forward the same to the parent body, who would notify the Dele gate to Congress, as to whether Alaskans did, or did not, favor the legislation.
