This morning the grand jury re
turned two secret Indictments.
Thp ourt announced that District
Attorney Spence was atlU confined to
hts home by illness and would not
appear court loduy.
Attmey E. K. Ritchie, represent
ing George Blouen, iml'cted on the
I charge of se lling booze at f'httlna
wlthou* a license, announced that his
client wns present in court and de
manded an immediate trial. The
IK
court said that he did not see how
the case could be tried while District
j Attorney Spence was under thp weath
er. Mr. Ritchie said he understood
(that Mr. Bennet was an Assistant
Distrfct Attorney, and that there was
I another assistant on the way to An
! chorage. He thonght there should
i lie some provision for trying men who
were ready and anxious to be tried
! for alleged crime. The court stated
ithat the case would be set for Thurs
day and he could not push it along
'any faster. This case was up yester
|day and Mr. Ritchie registered a pro
test when he found the case could
not be tried. He stated that his
; client had been waiting around on
bond five weeks at his own expense
for the privilege of contesting the
charge and he thought a further de
lay was a violation of an accused per

trial.

the court the jury was discharged un
til 10 o’clock Thursday morning, to
morrow being a legal holiday.
Court then adjourned until 10 a.

BECOMES REALITY
_» _
Not long ago the tide left a pecu
liar something on the Valdez Flats.
It resembled nothing that had ever
been Keen before in these parts. It
was of a creamy color. Jelly compo
sition, and spaghetti cunnlngness. It
was precious ambergris, and was
placed in a box and carefully guard
ed until some wise man came along
und said positively that (he thing
never did have an intimacy of a whale
but once dwelt in the inner regions
of a shark, and held down the joh
of viscera.
We mention this merely to point
out the fact that many unfamiliar
things are always carried into a com
munity on the rising tide of Its pros
perity and that only the closest in
spection will disclose their true char
acter. Probably not even the arrival
of the ambergris created so much
surprise as did the advent in Valdez
of a school of higher learning. The
idea has been smilingly turned over
and poked and little pink pills pre
scribed.
But in spile of all that the idea
has become a reality. Classes have al
ready been formed. The school is alNe
and will live and is dedicated to the
purpose of diffusing general and
special knowledge.
Formerly ail knowledge was sup
posed to he at tlie bottom of a well
or the far end of a telescope and that
no one could secure it without wear
ing black-rimmed spectacles, long
hair and a long face. The theory has
been exploded for the University of
Valdez is ready and willing to focus
(he telescope for any man .or woman
even tho he or she is as bald as the
dome of Sugar Loaf mountain. In
other words this school has something
that you want and need, no matter
who or what you are.
We are apt to look on it imper
sonally, commend it highly to the
oilier fellow, and give It the go-by
ourselves, either because of indolence
or because we think we are too
bloomin' ignorant anyhow to learn
anything. The real reason is to rea
lize, or hingles to win, that we can
find no time for pleasure or business
trips in the Land of Thought. We are
is such haste to be doing or to be
gathering the gain that we forgot one
thing of which these are hut the parts,
namely,we forgot to live; and we are
not really living unless we are alive
to the things about us and maintain
a lively interest in knowing what is
at the bottom of that well of know
ledge. Only too soon will the time
come when of necessity we must sit
all day and into the night before the
fire with folded hands. Right now,
this first day °f November Is the time
to dip into the well of kupwledge and
live for the best.
