LOCAL RESERVE OFFICERS ARE PUT ON BOARD Sides and Metcalf Appoinl-‘\ ed to Board of Officers by Maj. Gen. Hines Creation of a Board of Officers for the purpose of forming and locating a unit of the Organized Reserves of the U. S. Army provided for in orders recently igsued by Major General Hines, Commanding General of the Ninth Corps Area and made pub- lic here today. On the Board are: Frank A. Metcalf, Engineer Re- serves, and Second Lieut. M. H. Sides, Infantry Reserves, both of this city, and Capt. Horace J. Brooks, Chilkoot Barracks. Capt. Brooks, who is an offi- cer in the Seventh Infantry as- gigned to duty at the Haines post, is designated as President of the Board. The Board was created on the recommendation of Gov. George A. Parks at the suggestion of General Hines. The Governor had recommended Lieut. A. F. Karnes, reserve officer, of Ketchikan, but owing to the greater distance it is from Chil- koot Barracks, Army authorities decided to limit membership on the Board for the present to Juneau. The orders instruct Capt Brooks to call a meeting of the Board here ‘“to recommend the location of ‘the Organized Re- serves which has been assigned to the Territory of Alaska.” Capt. Brooks is authorized to proceed here at any time selected by him for the meeting of the Board. JUNEAU DECLAMING TEAM RETURNS FROM PETERSBURG TODAY Following their victory at Petersburg where the declama- tory trophy of Southeastern Alas- ka was won, Miss Helen Woods, Juneau entrant, and Miss Ardena Leer, who accompanied her, re- turned to Juneau today on the Highway, Capt. E. P. Clark. Juneau won with little trouble, Miss Leer said today, declaring Juneau's representative performed excellently and left little room for doubt as to her being the winner. Ketchikan took second place through Ned Shelton, who came nearest to winning the cup among the other three entrants. Peters- burg finished in third place, while Douglas was last. Miss Madeline Riedi and Miss Gladys Fleming, who are making the trip for Doug- las, are expected on the Admiral Rogers, due north this afternoon. An excellent crowd was in at- tendance on the evening the con- test was held, and the decision of the judges was a popular one, Miss Leer said. The inscription on the cup is as follows: High School Declamatory Tro- phy, 8. E. Alaska, Inter-School Meet; Edith Lingerfelt Cup Pre- sented by Pruell's Gift Shop. In its first year the cup was taken by Ketchikan, during the next two years Douglas and Skagway car. ried off the honors, Ketchikan re- trieved it in 1925, won it again the next year, then lost it last year when Juneau won for the first time. Juneau and Ketchikan are now the only two schools which have won it two years in succession. - LIONS LUNCHEON TO BE TOMORROW Meeting' for the first time since April 11, the members of the Ju- neau Lions Club will gather to- morrow at 12:30 p. m. in the Forget - Me - Not Tea Rooms, it was announced today by Lester * D.

L. Red- lingshafer today addressed the up- per grades in the Parochial school, continuing the observance of American Forest Week which started here yesterday. He em- ph 1 that American Forest Week to bring before th younger generation an apprec tion of the time required to grow a forest and that forests are ab solutely ne ary for the contin- uance of a nation. It is the youth & today whose interests are most vitally affected as it will be the people most to suffer if the forests are wantonly destroyed, he declared. History Traced Mr. Redlingshafer traced history of the forests the ice-age as seen before face of Mendenhall Glacier succession of such ground cover, gr mosses, weeds, shrubs, alders, willows and finally evergreen forests which in turn crowd out the grass and brush. At the time of America's discovery, he said, there were vast the the the as birds, rivers. filled with trout and plains covered with buffalo. He cited the destruction of forests and wild life that occurred in the settlement and development of the country. He said national forests were established as large farms ranches on which people were to be shown how to raise forests, and to insure the remaining large timber stands would not be de- stroyed as it had been in the eastern states. Benefits Are Given The benefits of the forest cover terior, as a safeguard against floods, save game, for use by the farmers, prospectors and miners in the development of the coun- try, the pulp wood possibilities in Southeastern Alaska, were cited. He praised the plan of the Forest Service in selling only what can be replaced by annual .growth so as to put the forest products in- SPECIAL 72 sheets. of fine WRITING PAPER with 50 ENVELOPES to match for $1.00 following | forests full of game animals and | or | in Alaska, particularly in the in.| dustries on a perpetual basis, The extreme destruction of for- ests by fire, when it occurs in Alaska, he declared, is almost parallel to that caused by the ice- age, and the same process of re forestation has to be gone through in the former as in the latter casc. e GERMAN DOCTOR VISITS JUNEAU An interested temporary dent in Juneau fs I Grundling of Leipsic, Germany, who will remain here for a year or two.

PRIMARY VOTE HEAVIER THAN THAT OF 1926 Gains Shows in Local Pri- mary Vote as Compared to that Two Years Ago (Continued from Page One) 69 as out on Willoughby Avenue, votes had been cast at 3 p. m compared to 36 two years ago. As had been predicted there was but little interest being dis- played Tn the Democratic election as there were no contests on the ticket. Few voters were calling for Democratic tickets. Watchers at the polls believed there was much splitting of the Republican ticket as many voters were engaged in more than a nor- mal length of time in marking their ballots. The polls will remain open un- til 7 p. m. Owing to the number of candidates on the Republican ticket, it is probable that the final returns will be somewhat de- layed in coming out. Light Vote Ketchikan Advices received at noon by The Empire from Ketchikan said in- terest there was not keen, and a light vote was predicted. This was surprising in view of the re- ported factional fight in that city which had been expected to bring out a record primary election vote.
