PROFESSIONAL JURORS ARE
NOW BARRED
A law was passed by the last legls
latice assembly designed to abolish
from our courts the class of jury men
known as "professional Jurors." The
act is short, and for the information
of the public we herewith reproduce
the same in full, to-wit:
"Section 1. That no person shall
be qualified to serve as a grand or
petit juror in the district courts of
Alaska, who shall have served in a
grand jury, in the district court, with
in two years next before such juror
is being examined on his voir dire.
"Section 2. It shall be a sufficient
challenge for cause to any juror in
the district court that he has been
called as a talesman or an open ven
ire, and served more than three times
as a juror within the preceding two
years before such challenge.”

WORK AT ANCHORAGE STOPS.
Word was received in Cordova in
yesterday's mail from Anchorage that
all W'ork on the government railroad
had been suspended pending the pas
sage of the $2,000,000 appropriation
bill by Congress.
REPORTS ANCHORAGE AN
OPEN PORT
That Anchorage could easily he
made an open port for twelve months
In the year is the extraordinary state
ment attributed to Captain Porter in
the report which he sent to Washing
ton after he had Investigated matters
for the government along this coast.
Captain Porter visited Seward several
times, and while here he showed hts
report to a certain local gentleman,
who declares that in that report the
captain made tlip statement given
above. It is possible to offer an ex
cuse for a report like this coming as
it did after the mildest winter in the
history of Alaska, but it might be to
the advantage of all parties concerned,
even to Captain Porter himself, to
point out now that very serious in
jury might be caused to the reputation
of the government officials if such
statements are not corrected when the
real facts are proving themselves.—
