Even if no fish or wild game is obtained, members of the Rocky Pass Gun Club will not suffer any bangs of hunger on their approach ing outing of 12 days. Neither will they experience any of the dis comforts usually incident to lack of housing accommodations in wild and rugged country. And long eve nings will not be allowed to become dull because of the absence of en- tertainment.
 Food supplies assembled for the outing contain all nutritious ne- cessities and in addition every epi- curean luxury procurable in Ju- neau.
 Comfortable Hunting Lodge
 Living quarters at Rocky Pass will consist of a two-story log structure, which was built by the club last year and which is con- veniently appointed into kitchen and large, combined dining and living room on the first floor, and a spacious dormitory on the sec ond floor. An 8oO-pound range at the lodge and the engagement of chef insures the best of culinary creations.
 The latest type of radio receiv- ing set will bring to the sportsmen daily reports of new events and likewise the dulcet strains of fa- nous orchestras and the lifting notes of vocal artists from almost the wide world over.

Anyone who did not do so, can register with J. T. Petrich, local Post Command CT in the United States Customs offices in the capitol.

 Forty seven persons registered last night. Of that number Is said they had resided here only a short time, coming here since last Spring in search of employment. Ten were Indians, mostly men with families. A number of Indians were includ- ed in the registration for the first three nights.
 With the registration complete, authorities and those cooperating with them were today turning to the second phase of the program that of formulating some plan which will give relief to the idle. There is a general agreement that every effort will be made to fur nish work to them, rather than charity. Neither the unemployed nor the community are considering any bread line" establishment.
