The effects of live Chamber of Commerce in Seward are apparent on every hand. Some of the changes brought about by the Chambers ac- tivities are having the radio station reopened; Lowell creek surveyed; in- vestigation of Seward as a fishing center by the New England; the new trail to the Brewer-Hayden mine; the new trail to Harding glacier; the Standard Oil tanks; and hundred smaller concessions not listed at pre- sent. Unless you take an interest in the Chamber you are not helping your town. Next Tuesday affairs of importance to every citizen are to come up. Can you be present?

Ritchie's mandate and take their turn as jurors, the old cry of profession al jurymen" should not be raised. The standard of Alaskan juries is very low-far lower, in fact, than is warranted by the educated class of citizens constituting it's population. Refusal of business and professional men to serve on the juries is more from selfish reasons than from any other motive. Any man can give one or two week in four or five years to helping adjudicate the quarrels and crimes brought before the court. We have seen men seek exemption from jury duty on the plea of busi ness losses, who wold leave the next week on an extended vacation, or waste twice as much time as requir ed in jury service by being late to their places of business.
 It is time the professional jury man. if such there be, is weeded out of the courts. It is harmful in the extreme to allow important cases. either civil or criminal, to be decided by men and women whose only inter est in case is the fee allowed. Court officials are blamed for slack law enforcement, when the fact is they are not backed up by the citizen ry It takes nerve to decide a case known to be unpopular with the public, or certain classes. It also takes keen reasoning powers and in telligent attention to left the mass of legal verbiage and find the flaw in the argument. Any man or woman can be a juror but we will never have good juries until all excuses are set aside and every voter forced to take his turn at jury duty.

BETTER JURYMEN WANTED

In the recent venires of the grand and petit juries drawn at Valdez, pro-
 bably half hundred representatives citizens are listed. By the time court convenes probably half of the number drawn will have sought to be excused on business and other req sons. Judge Ritchie announced at the beginning of his term of office that he would refuse to excuse represen- tative business men from jury ser vice, believing that the standard would be raised by forcing jury du

TO CROSS ATLANTIC IN
 BOAT BUT 12 FEET LONG

WARRINGTON Mass, Aug. 12.- William Oldham, Warrington engin- ger and ex-soldier, has constructed midget all-steel boat, twelve feet long, in which he intends to cycle across the Atlantic this month.
 This strange craft has taken two and half years to construct. It is built like a submarine, with it's water-tight compartments, and S equipped with sails. The only means of propulsion will be a pedal ar rangement, worked like a bicycle, connected with the screws.
 Oldham estimates the voyage at forty days, during which time he will rely on canned foods. He will sleep in the daytime and navigate at night.
 Twenty years ago he built a simi- lar boat, but was persuaded not to make the voyage. The present craft has been built entirely by his own hands.

STUDY OF CLEVELAND NEWSYS

The Ohio Consumers league re- cetly studied more than 800 children found selling on the streets of Cleve- land, 715 of whom were newsboys. Over one-third of these boys were under twelve years of age. The ma jority of them were earning less than $3 week and only fourteen mothers out of fifty reported that the earnings of the children were needed at home The children who did street trading were found to be far behind other children in school and more than half of them had phy- sical defects which, it was believed, might be rendered serious by con- tinued experience and fatigue.

Who Starts
the Fires?
EDITORIAL

(AIASHlNGTON, in company with other timber
w states in the Northwest is experiencing its usual
summer horror-FIRE!
Recognized the world as one of the most beau
tul states in the Union Washington is rapidly being
stripped of its wealth and its glories.
Where green timber delighted the eye and produced
millions annually, sees in many places only
the charred spectre of great asset.
Men, women and children fight for their lives and
their homes
Tourists, red-eyed, try to the wonderland the
Chamber of Commerce has told them about. But the
smoke-screen shuts it out.
VT>HE campers-stop their fires" yell the logging
l. operators and mllmen.
SO the campers told by the state foresters office
that they can't build any fires unless they hudde
together in designated spots.
MEANWHILE comes a startling admission. A
lVl sashing fire from a logging works, started last
April is still burning like mad
United States foresters have insisted that spring
burning is practicable So spring burning has
been practiced.
April showers would put out the fires it was argued
But April showers didn't and neither did May show
ers, because they few and far between.
sTNID you put out your fire.? ask the logger and
~ the mIman as the camper and the tourist peer
thru the smoke.
YES, we did" answer the camper and the tourist,
"but you didn't
And they never will until law is passed limiting
the burning of sashings to the fall months.
And the Chamber of Commerce will do well to save
its cash and its wind until that time Because folks
want to see something besides the pictures of our
mountains our big trees and inland sea when
they travel across the country to get here.
