THE II 0 Il sc committee on Judiciary has reported favor .,ll,. an,I,. lD;Ii
A JrDG.
 FOR TIIIs DIVISION.


 to change the lines of the judicial divisions of the district. There is little doubt of the passage of the act. This means much for Valdez. As the principal town in the pro- posed third division, Valdez will be the seat of the court, and the resi- dence of the judge, marshal. clerk and other officers. Litigants from Yakutat to the Alcutian islands. and from the Arctic circle to Prince William sound, will have business to conduct here.
 Owing to the removal of Judge Moves. and the appointment of Judge Wickersham as his success sor, there is no judge now presiding in the third division. It is rumored that President Roosevelt has an nounced his intention of appointing an eastern man. an entire stranger to the conditions in Alaska, to sue ceed Wickersham at Nome. In that event, Wickersham would be re-transferred to the third division.
 The advisability of appointing new judge from the ranks of Alaska lawyers will hardly appeal to the administration, judging from the history of the government of this District. A man who has been for years d resident of Alaska. who has practised law here and is familiar with the peculiar conditions of the country would naturally be chosen if the interests of American subjects were paramount in the mind of the appointing power. If such sensible course. should bv any miraculous combination of circumstances he adopted. there is no man better fitted for the office. or more acceptable to the people of the District than John G. Held of Juneau. The efforts of the Juneau bar to secure his appointment, meet with the heartiest approval of the people of this community. Mir. Held is a lawyer of experience and ability, and a man of sterling char acter. Having permanent interests here, there can be no desire upon his part to make the office, should he secure it, temporary graft, to be dropped as soon as he gets enough. Having lived in Alaska many years, however, his appoint ment could pay no political debt. The suggestion of his appointment is therefore merely dreamy desire of what ought to be, rather than the hope of what will be.
 But there is much comfort in the assurance that Valdez will have, next winter, a court of its own. with n resident judge and full com.

Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce met last Friday at the office uf the A. c. Co. The following committees were appointed: Finance, w. W. Collin. A. J. Adams and Chas. Crawford; Ways and Means, Oscar Fish. A. l.. Levy and C. \. Crary; Membership, II. II. Ilildreth. A. Swan and l.. Beatty.
 J. G. Snyder. former financial secretary made his final report. showing balance of $6l..O on hand. The committee for collect- ing funds for the patent, which was appointed last spring las never re- ported, so the secretary was in- structed to notify this committee to report at next meeting. The finan- cial secretary Was instructed to pay for the Miners, Settlers and Tour ist's Guides ordered from Mir. Hol- man.
 Action was taken in regard to dues, they being fixed at $500 a year, payable. in advance. A. l.. Levy was elected as Il member of the body.
 Oscar Fish, A. M. Edwards and Judge Goodeli were appointed to raise money for the erection of two bridges, one across the glacier stream, and one across the lake stream, on the road from here to Lowe river. It was estimated that $350 would cover the cost of con struction. The commi;te raised $15 al the meeting and it is thought that the balance will be subscribed by next meeting night.
 Some boats. estimated to be 20OO years old have been recently unearthed in Ireland. and tourists are flocking from all directions to see the wonderful sight. Why not exhibit few of the vessels running in the Alaska trade. Those Irish boats are modern when compared to some of the antiquated hulls plying between Seattle and Alaska.

WITH a better article.

TIE Seattle Chamber of Commerce have had under consideration. the advi>ability of urging Congress to purchase strip of territory from Canada, commencing at the head of Portland canal and including all of the Northwest Territory west of q line from that point to the middle channel of Mckenzie river and down that stream to the Arctic ocean. This was considered as an easy way out of the boundary dis pute, but after the matter had been thought over. they decided that it would be too much like an admis sion of weakness in oar title to the land under discussion, SD the matter was dropped. No conceS- sions of any kind should be made in the settlement of the boundary question, and if the Canadians don't like it, they know what to do. They should realize by this time that the United States is not to be intimidatei into giving away any territory rightfully belonging to them.

SECRETARY Root and members of the War Department now say that the reason for not completing the all-American trail is that rail road is to be built from Valdez to .he Yukon and it would be prac- tically throwing money away to build a wagon road as it would not be used in competition with rail road. We hol this is true. But that was not Capt. Abercrombies reason for throwing Us down.
 SECRErARY Shaw has requested Congress to create a lighthouse dis trict for Alaska waters, with head quarters at Sitka. Heretofore AL aska has been under the Portland district, but now as our waterways are to be lighted. it will be better for the government to make Alaska a separate district. His request should be granted.
 '
 |. $. MARSHAL J. NJ. Shoup. of Juneau, has recently been in Wash ington, D. C., and while there, pre- sented several petitions to members of Congress, in relation to the completion of the all-American trail. It looks doubtful whether these petitions will result in any immediate good, but nevertheless Marshal Shoup has the thanks of the citizens of Valdez for the inter- est he has taken in this matter.
 THE Chamber of Commerce is getting into business again. They are holding weekly meetings which are well attended, and at which some good work is being done. The action taken at last meeting. in regard to bridging the lake stream. is of vast importance to the future welfare of the town.
 HoN. John D. Long has resigned as Secretary of the navy and Rep resentative Vim. H. Moody has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Moody is an attorney from Massachusetts and has been mem- Der of Congress for the past four years.

up Main rtreet, fired two shots in rapid

from an inside pocket, when the shots
we're fired. One passed through the
front Of the Oyercoat at the waist line.
The sheriff Immediately after the
shots were fired, saw a man run toward

KOOTESAI SETTLERS LOST
The Reclamation Company Nay Bald
Dykea.


Dyksa.
Proceedings by injunction were be-
gan in the district court last month by
c. S. Smith, representing himself and
about sixty other settlers in the Idaho
KoOtenai valley, TO enjoin the Alberta
a British Columbia Reclamation COM
pany from building dykes TO enclose
about 1900 acres of land in the Koot-
enai valley, on the Canadian side Of the
boundary, some four miles of which
dykes were designed 10 be built on the
Idaho side. II was claimed by Smith
that the effect of the construction Of
these dykes would be to overflow their
lands. A temporary restraining order
had been granted by the judge on an ex
part application.
Early last week the defendants made
a motion TO dissolve this restraining
order, aud as the regular term OF the
court in ShoshOne County was in ses-
sion Judge Mayhem was obliged to
sandwich this motion in as the regular
business permitted. an entire week was
thus consumed. Many Witnesses were
examined and aiiidavits read. The con.
test was at times bitter.
Judge Mayhem has made an order
disolving aud vacsting the injunction.
No written opinion was filed, but
il is believed the conclusion was reach
ed on the general equities disclosed by
the pleadings and evidence and the fact
that the testimony was so conflicting
that clear conclusion could not bs
/ arrived at.
