AIkshA's GRAND JURY.
II Makes Some Pertinent Suggestions
10 the Home Government.

The district court OF Alaska. after the
longest session ever held, adjourned on
January : Most Of the session was devot-
ed 10 violators of the liquor laws. as -
per cent. OF the cases brought before the
court were for the alleged violations OF
the statutes which prohibit the sale OF
liquors These liquor cases cost the gov
eminent 81, coo The report OF the grand
jury to Arthur II. Delaney, judge Of the
United States district court. shows that
during the session that extended from No
vember q. 1895 10 January s. 1897, they ex-
amlued 81 witnesses. investigated ninety
one cases. of which nine were returned
mot true bills" and seventy mine were re-
turned as true bills" The indictments
returned were as follows: Assault with
deadly weapon. 5; polygamy, !; assault
with intent to commit murder ?; man
slaughter. l; murder. ?; mayhem, :: rob-
berry OF post0fflce. 1: perjury. /: libel. /:
violation Of prohbitory liquor law. e5. The
grand jury calls attention 10 the fact that
the prosecution OF violators of the liquor
law cost the government more than all
the other cases combined. The suggestion
Is made by the grand jury that as mat
ter OF common sense and practical econ
omy the present law prohibiting the sale
of liquor in Alaska should he repealed and
a high license law enacted in lieu thereof
The Jurors complain that the unusually
long session has been most burdensome on
the Jurors. for the reason that the compen-
sation allowed IS too small even 10 cover
actual expenses while in court. Some OF
the Jurors can I'll AFFORD 10 lose both time
and money while serving as jurors II Is
respectfully suggested that the pay of jur-
ors should be increased
IL Is suggested that the government
make some provision for the care OF In
sane persons. Two insane persons are
confined in the Sitka jail, and while they
ara humanely treated there the chances
for their recovery would be greater II they
were confined in an asylum where they
could receive proper attention looking to
their cure. The grand jury also claims
that Il has been found 10 the advantage OF
other cities OF the Pacific coast to unload
their paupers IN Alaska. These paupers
prey upon others, inclte crime. produce
nothing and have no visible means OF sup
port vagrancy law Is suggested for the
benefit OF tsis gentry.
IN conclusion. the grand jury suggests
tho appointment by the government OF
government assayer for Alaska. whose du-
ties shan be the same as those required Of
the commissioner OF mines IN the several
states and territories. This last recon-
rnendat3on Is deemed Of great Importance
by the grand Jurors. They think that the
aSsayer should reside IN juneau. which is
the present center Of mining development
ia Alaska.

Special correspondence 20 the Post-In-
tellsgencer from Rossland, 8. c.. under
date OF January Il. says among other
things that a local attorney has drawn up
the papers for an application 70 the pro
yincial legislature for a charter 10 con-
struct an electric railway from the inter
national boundary line 10 Grand Forks,
Ana conda and Greenwood, and thence 10
RosslanS. Il is understood that the par
ties back OF the scheme include number
OF influential COVER .ment officials and also
several Eastern capitalists. whose names
have already become prominent IN Tral
creek and the Boundary country. An ap-
plicatcn VIII also be made 10 the Wash
ingtOn legislature for a charter from Spo-
kane 10 the international boundary line,
and IL granted. as il undoubtedly VIII be,
work is 10 begin early in the spring.
The line will be operated entirely by
electricity the entire distance from Spo-
kane 20 the Boundary country. The power
will be obtained from the falls OF the ket-
tie river. which Is 10 miles from Spokane.
From Kettle Falls the route will be along
the river 10 Grand Forks, thirty miles
north. Al this point Il will tap one OF the
richest parts OF the British Columbia gold
fields and II is understood that the tracks
will be extended TO the other camps in
this vicinity. At any rate. an engineer has
been there looking over the ground. and
recently he came through 10 Ross,and. He
believes he has found feasible route
from Grand Forks to Rossland. 1t is not
likely that the Rossland branch will be
constructed this year, however. The COM
pany back OF this scheme will endeavor 10
finish the road into the Boundary coun-
try this summer and will then rest until
the following year.
An eminent New York capitalist. who
is interested in the proposed new railway.
has prepared bill 10 congress asking per-
mission to cross the ColviIle reservation.

porter of this paper yesterday by J. w

received notice from the officials Of the
Northern Pacific TO vacate the premises

occupied by the firm runs through 10

Northern Pacific company Is 20 establish
ITS express business IN that very desfr-
Sole location. The Northern Pacific Rail-
way Company owns the entire block. as

GENERAL BRYANT TALKS.
He Speaks of the Railroad Situation
rs Relates to the =. sS I.

Gen. John II. Bryant, president OF the
Seattle & International railroad whose
return TO this city was chrOnicled In the
acknowledgement yesterday morning. was
interviewed by the Spokane papers while
In the Eastern Washington metropolis
as to the reason for his visit and the
possible intentions OF his road. In rela-
tion TO the building or extension of rail-
road service In the state OF Washington
for 1897, Gen. Bryant's remarks reflected
exactly the same sentiments as expressed
by Mr. Russell Harding, assistant gen.
eral superintendent OF the Great North
ern. printed in an interview with him
in the Post-Intelligence Of Friday morn
ing. In the matter OF possible building
Gen. Bryant said:
''To tell the truth. I do not look for
anything IN the way OF railroad con-
struction in the state for the present.
The Eastern bondholders who are now
about sllo00,000 will wait TO see what
manner OF legislation is 10 be enacted
by the Populist party OF the state OF
Washington. On most OF the money in
vested in railroads in this state not a
cent of interest has been received, and
from Information al hand / am convinced
that rather than take chances In invest
ing more money in building railroads in
the state the bondholders viii wait an
other FIVE years or until the full return
Of prosperity is assured. before they will
make any move In this direction. / real
ize that the people OF Eastern Washing
ton, and Spokane especially. would like
10 see an independent line built across
the state. II. however. their representa-
tives in the legislature go TO work and
help enact legislation that is going 10
injure the roads. il will react upon them.
FOR even under the present conditions the
inducements are not great for building
roads In the state.
II sam convinced however, that a road
revenue in time. The Okanogan country
is a land OF great possibilities which only
requires transportation 20 bring IL TO the
front. There also is the Big Bend and
the territory beyond on the west, most
fertile and rich country. Building rail-
road through II would no doubt be the
meas OF making II one OF vne most pros
porous sections in the country and add
materially 20 the wealth OF the state"
Regarding his own plans. Gen. Bryant
was rst disposed 20 talk and shrouded
the intentions OF the Seattle & Interna-
t!olal with a veil OF conservative rnys-
terry when pressed he said
New. I do not think 1t advisable "a
