The Grand Jury

The Juneau grand jury, which wound up it's business and turned in it's final report last Friday afternoon, acted upon 60 bind over cases, conducted Il investigations and found 58 true bills and IF not true bills during the twenty five days it was in session. The report went into the fish question, condemn. ing the use of the food fish of Alaska for the manufacture of fertilizer and recommended that the output of the canneries be taxed 10 cents per case for reds, and six cents per case for pinks, and all other fish in proportion, except that there be no tax on fresh halibut.
 It was also recommended that all hatcheries be conducted by the govern ment, and that all revenues derived from the fish tax be set aside for that purpose. The grand jury also consid- cred it proper that other parts of Alas ka should be included in the rule which prohibits Sunday fishing. It further announced that none but citizens of the United States and natives of Alas ka should be allowed to fish at any time. The report also went into the game law subject quite extensively and recommended bounty of ten dollars on wolves and fifty cents on eagles.
 Adding to the above a few sugges tions as to vaults, records, stair steps, itinerant peddlers, etc., the jury begged to be turned loose.

All the boomers who come down to Washington and pitch their tents these days accordingly are not political boomers. Secondary ss legislative considerations are, from outward ap- pearances, there are men honestly try ing to get an audience with the law makers. One of the many interesting delegations of this character has just come from the Pacific coast, and their mission is purely Alaskan. It is headed by ex. Senator John l.. Wilson, of Washington state, and re-enforced by representatives of boards of trade and of commercial organizations in all the big cities from Seattle to San Diego. They have taken their cause to the senate and to the house aud announce that they are sufficiently patient to stay in Washington for two or three months for what they came after. The opening of coal lands and other like matters that have been a subject of great conservation controversy ia
 the interior department do not figure in this particular pilgrimage. No one questions the importance of settling some of those questions, but ex.Sena- tor Wilson and his colleagues are giv- ing chief attention to obtaining aids for navigation on the great Pacific high way and to obtaining survey of Alas ka's public lands Hardly anywhere else in the world have there been as many appalling disasters to shipping in the last few years as among the yes sells that ply between San Francisco and Seattle and Alaskan ports. The Portland, the Northwestern, the Far. allon and the Yucatan are only part of the list in that connection. There have been alike great loss of life and prop erty, which have greatly aroused people on the Pacific coast. With better equipment of lighthouses and other warning signals it is believed that nav igation along the treacherous north western coast can be stripped of some of it's perils. To this end congress will be urged to appropriate. But the re- quest for survey of agricultural lands in Alaska, especially in the southeast portion, looks forward to big develop mept. It has been much noted during ! the last decade how these land hungry ! Westerners, finding no more cheap farms on the mainland of the United Statee, have gone by the teus of thou sands and hundreds of thousands into northwestern Canada and become home builders as we'll as British sub. jects. If statements about it arc to be believed, Southeastern Alaska has teeming areas of just as good farming soil as the western provinces of Can- ada. Until these areas of public
 land are surveyed, however, they are not available to homesteaders. An act of congress is necessary for the surveys, whereupon, it is claimed, the tide of migration will turn that way and re- suit, perhaps, in all intelligent and thrifty population which generation from now will constitute the 49th state of the union.-Washington Tribnne.

The Ruby Record, as animated a newspaper as enlivened and instructed Alaskans, has evolved a formula for the value of strikes. The reasoning is clear, and the conclusions correctly drawn. Says the Record: "The strike said to have been made at the head of the Sixtymile is just about thirty times as rich as the strike made on Flint creek. This is easily>fgured out. It takes one day to go to Flint creek and about thirty days to get to Sixtymile. To prove this deduction correct, it is necessary only to repeat the well-known truth that the richness of the strike is in direct ratio to the distance. It has almost come to be proven by scientists that the mum her of colors to the pan can always be determined beforehand by calculation of the distance be- tween the place where the pan is wash ed and the place where the story is told. If the panis washed on the next claim, you know it is "skunk;" one mile away, one color; one thousand miles away, one thousand colors, and so on ad inflnitum; so that it requires no superhuman mental effort to master the fact that the richest.placer diggings within the fairly well-known part of the universe are in the moon."
