WALKER PREDICTS
 DRY ALASKA SOON

George E. Walker U. S. district at torney for the Third Judicial division of Alaska is now in Juneau and guest of the Hotel Cain. Mir. Walker be: lieves that Alaska will soon so dry,
 Speaking of the Sunday closing in his division Mir. Walker said: q was instructed by the Attorney Generals office to enforce the Sunday closing act in relation to saloons in the Third division. This act was put in Carter's code about fourteen years ago, It has not yet been enforcerd by municipal or Federal authorities as matter of practical administration up to this time.
 q prepared notices for the United States marshal to serve on the saloon Keepers in my division last Sunday. The Cordova saloons were all closed at 12 o'clock Saturday night and re- mained closed until Sunday night at 12, when they were opened for busi- ness as usual. Prior to 12 o'clock Sat urday night there was brisk trade in bottle goods and those who consider liquor a necessity had supplied them selves for the hour of want.
 "The saloon proprietors and bar ten ders seemed to enjoy the vacation af- forded by the closing and approve of the order enforcing the law. The eff feet will be good. There is no doubt but that this order will be permanent in the Third division.
 'T am of the opinion that the saloon will be put out of business entirely within the next ten years in com pliance with the demand that seems to be sweeping the United States. The prompt compliance on the part of sa- loon Keepers with this rigorous order speaks we'll for the patriotism of the average man in Alaska.
 During the past five years the criminal business in the Third divis' ion has fallen off at least 75 per cent. which indicates that klaskans up to date are law-abiding people. A new condition, however, will confront us when tue COuSNIuNNlOh OA NNA AS'AA"''S system and our roads and trails begin on a large scale as proposed by Alaska legislation. The Third division will be the scene of a great deal of this proposed construction. Then no doubt the department of justice in my divis' ion will be required to work overtime in providing proper surveillance over lives and property. Until the Terri torial regime Is perfected the respon. sibility will rest on my department and no doubt I will be provided with additional assistance"
 Mir. Walker came to Juneau to con fer with Gov. J. F. A. Strong on a number of official matters relating to the Third division, including the prop osition of getting an assistant to be stationed at Cordova. He will remain here until the sailing of the North western for the Westward.

Forming Company to
 Buy Base Ball Park

Tell it to everybody-Juneau is to have a ball park-also a ball team. The meeting of business men held in the offices of B. L. Thane last night took decisive action toward the organi- zation of a stock company to be formed for the purpose Of procuring and main taining a suitable park for base ball and other sports. The company ae- cording to tentative plans agreed up- on will be capitalized at $15.OOO with shares at S1OO each. Mir Thane, who was chairman of the meeting appoint ed Simon Hirsh. George C. Burford. and Grover c. Vim a committee to canvass the town for subscriptions to the stock and be ready to report at second meeting Friday evening of this week at which time the final steps will be taken toward actual incorpora- ton.
 A temporary option from the owners Of the Casey.Shattuck addition is al- ready in the hands of the promoters of the movement and it is confidential ly expected that the deal will be closed in a very few days after the Friday night meeting. The plat submitted by R.

The proposition of forming the corporation to purchase and maintain the grounds is being submitted to the prospective stock holders as a pure business proposi- tion, an investment without any chance Of losing money. for the property to be purchased Is expected to increase in value.
 Mir. Thane stated the object of the meeting very concisely calling atten- ton to the land in the Casey-Shattuck addition and the natural amphitheatre on Gold Greek where the old skating pond exists as probably the only suit able spots in which to get permanent base ball park. After much discussion it was found that the question of get ting title to the amphitheatre and skat- ing pond was uncertain at this time. A committee however. consisting of Downie D. Muir. A. Fl. Humpheries and I.afe Spray was appointed Co get in touch with the parties having control of the land and report at a subsequent meeting.
 B. NJ. Beherends suggested that the company that is being formed to pro cure the necessary land for base ball and recreation grounds give the city of Juneau an option to purchase the same at some future date. Mayor C. w. Carter. Simon Hirsch, John Reck. Downie D. Muir. George Burrord, Tom. Radonich and others took part in the discussion
