New Method Selecting
 JurieS Now In Force

This past wek two laws passed by the. Territorial Legislature last spring went into effect under which the election of juries, and to a cer- tain extent, the personnel of the ju- ries themselves, is radically altered These are the Dimond Jury Law and the so-called Women's Jury Law.
 Under the former all juries, ex- cept in certain civil cases under specific conditions, are drawn from jury boxes containing 75 per cent of the names of the voters, by pre- cinct and division. This includes not only juries serving in the dis trlct courts up to the present time cases in the U. S. Commissioner Courts.In civil cases by agreement >of counsel for the litigants, juries may be drawn in any other legal manner.
 The intent and effect of the Di- mond act is to do away with the drawing of juries on open venires. While the District Court jurors are seldom if ever drawn on an open venire until after the regularly summoned panel has been exhaust ed. In the Commissioners court up to the present time the open venire has been the only method of draw ing jurors. Under the new law Com missioners in the several precincts are required to list the voters and such othe qualified persons as are known to reside therein and deposit in box ten inches in cubical con- tent, three quarters of the total list. As occasion arises for summoning jurors, the names required are pub licly drawn.
 Under the Women's Jury Act both men and women are equally el- igible for service. Women, however. may claim sex as a ground for ex- emption providing the claim is made within a stated time, in the district court, within two days alter the summons foF se'vice has been received.
 In the Commissioners Courts both laws are operative at once The frst juries to be drawn in the District Court in this division under these two acts will sit at Ketchikan next month, and will probably be drawn within short time.-Report.

ALASKA SPINSTERS' PARADISE .laskan Type Just the Sort for Maidens Pining for a Real
 He Man

The following appeared in late
 sue of San Francisco paper
 This is an advertisement. It is intended to call the attention of girls to the opportunities afforded y Alaska. That is to say, opportu- lities for getting married.
 "Col. James G. Steese, president If the Alaskan Road Commission 5aid the other day that Alaska is the spinsters' paradise The splendid Lrmy of young men engaged in Alaskan interests are forced to ;ome very often to the United States for brides. The supply of women in Alaska does not equal the demand To my mind there is no more glo- fious country to live in. There is jomething about Alaska that gets into your blood. You may pine for he States until, in sheer hunger of soul, you manage to get back to lhem. Once there you cannot wait return to Alaska
 No modern ideas nor twentieth ,entury theories can alter the fact hat the principal business of wom- sn is to get married and have chill lren.
 That is the business for which ,otnro adoptaJ bar opJ tho ooo ;,, which as a rule she finds the great est happiness.
 ''It follows that no act of her life s so important as that of marrying he right man.
 "In coming to this decision she ought to use ordinary common 'ense. And ordinary common sense dictates that a girls chances are better for getting the right kind df l man if she will go to that locality where the right kind of men lbound. In other words, if you want 0 get anything you must go to the pest market.
 "The men of Alaska are the pioneer type. They are strong, wig 1rous, healthy. and engaged in the greatest business of all the world, which is that of subduing nature md making the wilderness into l garden.
  ar type of girl. Anaemic girls and hose whose ambition is to have strawberries, sugar and cream, and it on a cushion and sew a fine seam.' need not apply. But girls of 'pirit. and healthy girls who love the outd DTS and achievement, girls who want to be mates for ;trong men and bring wholesome offspring into the world; in short girls of good sound stock and blood ought to pay some attention to the prospect offered by Alaska.
 ''The cities of the East are full or young women whose lives from the nature of the case must always be 1rab and uninteresting. A certain number of them, of Course, are un- fitted for adventure and will prob lbly stay at home and struggle 'long.
 But those girls who are un- lfraid and strong-souled and who want to take their womanhood to he best market might do far worse han to take their foot in their hand and go to Alaska"
