LARGE ATTENDANCE
AT MASS MEETING
(Continued from Page One)
Mr. L. V. Ray of Seward was the
next speaker. He stated that at this
time Anchorage had a large popula
tion. and that along the line of the
government railroad many homestead
entries had been made. Whether An
chorage would retain this population
after construction work had passed
along further out the line was prob
lematical, hut in any event \nchor
age was not the place for the seat of
the court at this time, being difficult
of access during several months of
the year. He said that he had wired
to Seward yesterday morning, imme
diately upon hearing of the project
to move the court, and that the citi
zens of that place had taken immcdi
ate action. He had received a wire
from Seward, which he read, stating
that a meeting had been called there
yesterday afternoon and that resolu
tions strongly protesting against the
removal had been cabled to Washing
ton. Mr. Ray also stated that the
Third Judicial division was the larg
[ est in the territory and should be di
vided. A movement had been initiat
ed several months ago to this effect,
and he expected that such a division
would be made, leaving Valdez, Cor
dova and the adjacent country in one
division and Seward, Anchorage and
the country to the westward in the
new division. When this division was
made, he declared, it would be time
to select the court headquarters. Un
til then he believed the court should
remain at Valdez.
Mr. Ritchie suggested that it would
be well for the committee to wire to
the department of justice, the dele
gate and National Committeeman
Donohoe, asking that action on the
transfer be held up until evidence
could be submitted from here, and
that the data be forwarded by mail
as it would necessarily take several
hundred words to cover the necessary
information.
A vote of thanks to the Order of
Moose for kindly donating the use of
the hall free of charge for the meet
ing was passed, and the meeting then
adjourned.
KKSTRH’TIONS ON ADMISSIONS
WILL IIK DK(TDKI) AT IGLOO
i _
The grand igloo of the Order of
j 1’ioneeis of Alaska, which meets in
Juneau March 29, will be called upon
to decide whether membership in tlm
| order shail remain restricted to those
who came North prior to January 1.
I 1901, or whether all who have lived
in Alaska for 15 years can become
members. The proposal to open the
doors of the order to pioneers of
more recent vintage will be laid be
fore the grand igloo by Luther C.
Hess, Andrew Nerland and O. 1’. Gus
tad, delegates from the Fairbanks Ig
loo, who are now in Juneau.
At a recent meeting in Fairbanks:
this matter was brought before the
pioneers, in the shape of a proposal
that the grand Igloo be asked to
amend the constitution so as to pro
vide that men who have beer in Alas
ka fifteen years are eligible for mem
Liershlp, or shall attain eligibility alt
er they have resided in the Territory
lor that length of time. The constitu
tion at present says that no one is eli
gible for membership in the order
who did not arrive in Alaska prior to
January 1, 1901. The supporters of
Ihe proposition, in Dutting it before
the Igloo pointed out the fact that
such a proposition will keep the order
well supplied with new members at
all times. It is understood that they
took the idea from the Fairbanks Ig
loo of Pioneer Women, who incorpo
rated the fifteen-year residence clause
in the^r constitution, which was ap
proved by the Grand Igloo of Pioneers
laBt year when the Igloo became the
auxiliary of the Fairbanks Pioneer
Igloo.
Many other legislators are dele
gates to the Grand Igloo meeting. The
grand president is Cpcll ,H eje^g of
Fairbanks, but the meeting wi'il be
called to order by the vice president
because it Is not expected that t/lr.
Clegg will be able to come to Juneau
for the convention.

CHINESE ROAl) AFTER WAR
PEKING. Marcn 13.—At the c'<

complete the railroad connecting the

completion of this road. There is at
present no direct foreign trade. ^
AERO ALARMS WILL BE PI T
ON ALASKA 8. 8. CO’S. BOATS
The seventeen or more boats of the
Alaska Steamship Company will be
immediately equipped with aero fire
alarms. The equipment has been or
dered by President Baxter. The Ala
meda and Mariposa will be the first
steamers ot be equipped with the in
vention.
The aero alarm works on a therm#
static principle. Should a conflagra
tion start in any part of the
rise in temperature causes
wires of the system to burn out re
sulting in the sounding of an alarm
on an Indicator in the pilot house
whereby the exact location of the fire
may be readily traced. It is not nec
essary with the new system to wait
for a fire to gain headway and tb<h>
officers to smell the smoke to know
that a Are is aboard, as has been the
custom in the past. The Great
Northern and Northern Pacific steam:
ers are equipped with this inven
tion.
