The letter which is supposed to cor
1 tain the returns front Bristol bay
reached Seward last Monday and a
divapteh said that it would take six
days for the letter to reach the clerk ■
of the district coutr at Valdez to
whom it is addressed. Therefore the
letter should be very near Its destin
ation by this time. Probably the re
sult of he Bristol baloting won’t be
known here until Monday. The re
turns are expected by both Wicker- 1
shamites and Sulzer to settle the
question of who is elected. It may
do so, or on the other hand It may
be a stand off or be too 3muli to count
much either way.
