It develops that there is no jury com
missioner, which official, in company
with Deputy Clerk Henderson, draws
the jurors, both grand and petit. As
the judge appoints this official, and as
no appointment has been made, the
jury lists cannot be made out. Clerk
Henderson notified Chief Clerk Stnr
of the condition of things, and received
a reply that it was up to Jnd.e Reid to
appoint a jury commissioner. And in
the meantime, the attorneys are in a
quandary as whether they should have
their clients and witnesses here on the
date set or not. Many litigants aie
in the States, and to summon them
here on a specified date and then com
pel them to wait a mouth later would
b? an unnecessary hardship
There is a movement on !o t here to
secure a regular mail service to the
eamp at Valdez creek The mad wil!

to let an emergency contract for this
route. A large number of prospectors
and miners will go to Valdez creek as
soon as the trail is open, and they
should be giveu at least a semi monthly
mail. The benefit to \ aldez of such a
service is self evident a> d the citizens
should use every effort to secure the
adoption of the new route.
