When Judge Gunnison arrived at
Fairbanks lie held a conference with
Marshal Ferry and decided to call the
grand jury for April 22—when the
sloughs will be full of water and over
land travel will be very hard. Marshal
Perry, at least understia.nl the situation
and knew that several women would he
summoned to attend from long ins
tances. Considering that the rivers
will he open for steamer travel in little
more than a month from the date set, it
is not surprising that people feel that
the court would have done a gracious
act in saddling some of the inconve
nience upon itself by postponing the
call to a month later.
Octsiue of the interest felt in the
matter by a large proportion of its lim
ited number of readers, the Valley News
has cared but little about the Thaw case,
one way O'- the other. White was a bad
man; but Thaw killed him la-cause he
himself was a bad man. It is impossi
ble that society as a whole can la- lame
tited by one thoroughly bad man killing
even a worse man over a thoroughly
bad woman. But what was started out
to be sni'1 is that the Valley News is
sorry it eoiild not print an outline of
the circumstances attending the mis
trial. I'mler the rules of the telegraph
service news originating outside the
territory when telegraphed to a paper
from a point within the territory must
he paid for at private-message rates—
that is, 5 rents a word from Fairbanks.
That is prohibitive to sueh a publication
as the Valley News. Of course there
would l»- no objection on the part of the
big papers—like the Fairbanks Times,
for instance,— if the little fellows were
js-rmitted to receive a few words at a rt
duced rate, for the idea of eoiiipvlitig
with them is atieurd. Furthermore, if
the principle of tin- matter were drawn
out slightly, the) would all have to |m«
private-message rates from Health-.
There is a rumor afloat that the ting
genie Otis have gobbled the W hit*1 l*ass.

likely to lie so, tile I olggeftlieifM* will Is

Fort Yukon-Caro
Mail Contract Let
A twioe-a-month round-trip mail serv
in' has been authorized between Fort
Yukon and Caro, and the contract for
the same let to Fairbanks parties.
The first trip was to have been made
in March, but when the carrier (a sub
contractor) saw what he was up against
he steered his malamutes in a southerly
direction and has not been heard of
since.
Moshers from Fort Yukon say it was
expscted both trips would be made this
month and each month hereafter.
Prospectors Quit
Morelock Creek
A party of prospectors named Tom
O'Leary, Pave England and llorve, who
have heen on Morelock creek somewhat
more than two months, have quit and
gone down to Tatiana.
Ed Biederman met them on the up
trip with the mail. They said they
found ground where they could shovel
in about $o a day when the water comes,
hut they could get nothing better; so
they gave it up.
Mail for Outside
May Get Stuck
It is considered a tossup whether or
not tin* mail which left here yesterday
morning will get to the outside over the
ice or not.
The tight frosts the past two nights
have somewhat checked the rapid melt
ing of the snow, hut the beginning of
the end has come and it is only a matter
of short time when winter travel he
over.
