New York.—"It's all jolly well to

problem, but at the
same ii,,.e |iii.illf-st)lriteU men mid
women, working independently, with
the ri^lit ideas, can do much toward
aiding the government In reducing
this problem to a minimum."
That in substance is what Mrs.
Henrietta Burnett had In mind when,
with others Interested in community
welfare, she established the llamp
stead Harden Suburb, five miles from
London.
"Our village now is a most attrac
tive place," said Mrs. liarnett, at the
Cosmopolitan New York, where
she is staying for a few days before
returning to England. "Uampstead
(Sarden Suburb now lias a population
of about 10.IHK). The ground was brok

tion of this pioneer experiment of

of building more than six years, Is
iuo*t satisfactory." •

Home bread-making is urged to,

The final report of the grand jury
Lester D. Henderson, foreman, was
submitted to Judge Robert AV. Jen
nings this afternoon, after which the
members of the jury were thanked
by the judge and discharged. The
report, after tho usual introduction,
says:
"We have been in session 22 days;
have acted on 2S bound-over cases; 2
old cases referred back to the grand
jury by the court; have conducted a
number of other investigations; have
found 42 true bills, and 5 not true
bills. We have examined 137 wit
nesses and employed 1 interpreter.
"We have had various matters pre
sented for our consideration, among
them being the condition of the fed
eral jail at Sitka, the sanitary con
dition of the various dairies distrib
ting milk and milg products in Ju
neau, and tile apparently ilagrant
violations of the prohibition law by
the so-called soft drink establish
ments in Juneau, and make tho fol
lowing rocommendat'ons regarding
the same;
Federal Jail at Sitka
"We recommend that the oldllus
I sian building at Sitka be demolished
[and that temporary quarters be pro
vided for use as a federal jail until
such time as a new structure can be
erected.
Dairies
"A committo for the grand jury,
ill company with Dr. L. O. Sloanc,
territorial health commissioner, and
T. K. P. Keegan, city chief of police,
visited the four dairies which distri
bute milk and milk products to the
j residents of Juneau. We find the
condition of two to be very unsani
tary .
"It is recommended that the pres
ent legislature pass a law providing
for the regulation of dairies and pre
scribing certain definite sanitary re
quirements and fixing penalties for
the violation of the same.
Stuff Drink Establishments j
"We flud that many of the pool i
halls and soft drink establishments j
in Juneau have attempted to conceal l
their operations by painting their j
windows, placing screens on them j
or constructing partitions which di-1
vide the main room In such a way as ,
to* make it possible for the proprie
tors of such places to do away with
any liquor and gambling games be
fore the officers of the law can reach
the screened portions of such rooms.
"We recommend that the territor
ial legislature enact legislation em
powering municipalities to license
and regulate all such establish
ments.
"We recommend that the depart
ment of justice provide funds for the
use of the United States attorney's
and United States marshal's office
for the employment of special offi
cers to assist in the detection qf the
violations of the prohibition law.
"In our opinion, the imposition of j
jail sentence for violations of the
prohibition law is one of the most i
effective means of bringing about
proper respect for the observance of I
the same.
"We have inspected the federal
t-ourt house building and federal jail
and find them to be in first class con
dition, with a few exceptions."
The jury says in conclusion that it
visited the schools and turned in a
fire alarm without notice and that
file school was emptied in one-half
minute.

were as follows: D. M. Bothwell,

Advices from the interior report
that the mo«-f important 40I1I strike
in Alaska in recent years has been
•nade on a stna'l cire'.; a few miles
from Fairbanks creek, approximated
20 miles from the city of Fairbanks.
The strike has caused a stampede.
According to the report the gold
runs $6.00 to'the yard, and the pay
streak in the "new strike is more than
50 feet wide.
A ledge of solid galena between
7 and 9 fee; in width has been
struck on the Rico claim in the
Mayo district, according to news

Cold Company, better known as the
Gnggent?ir. Company of Dawson.

ening of navigation.
Ernest Kirberger, pioneer mer
chant of Kake, is in Seattle. Judge
Kirberger is going east on a busi
ness trip expecting to return north
in May. The Judge reports the Ka!:e
section fairly prosperous on account
of Prince Rupert buyers taking all
the king salmon from the white and
native trollers. He says these troll
ing outfits are making good money
and the usual number of mild curers
preparing for the season in antici
pation of a fair market. He also says
the trappers in the Kake section are
finding a fair price for fur as the
market starts to right itself.
Seattle interests are willing and
able to provide adequate passenger,
freight and mail service from Sew
ard to Western Alaska and Alaska
Peninsula poiirfs, there being no ne
cessity to call on the government to
provide a vessel, according to in
formation submitted to the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce. The inter
est announced they are in a posi
tion to place a 400-ton steamship
on the route and maintain a sched
ule of one round voyage a month
during the winter and two round
voyages a month during the rest of
the year. The late national admin
istrations' postoffice department |
adopted the rule of letting such con- [
tracts to the lowest bidder regard
less of the freight and passenger
end of the problem, and an eight
passenger halibut boat has the con
tract.
Substantial deve\opment work is
reported underway on the quartz
property of the Alaska Treadwell
Company at Nixon's fork in the Kus
kokwim. A substantial amount of
cross cutting and shafts have been

ter by four outfits on Poorman creek.
About fifty men are engaged in plac
er mining and prospecting for lode
claims in the Kantishna district. Dr.
J. A. Sutherland, Carl Selberg and

Yukon from the left limit of Lowden
creek about fourteen miles. have
been taking out smelter this spring.
