 WHEREAs, The Third Judicial Distsict of Alaska, embraces such an immense area, that in the na- ture of things it k impossible for one judge to cover a sufficient DOT tion thereof each year to a.hainis- ter the laws as the people are .enti- tied to have them administered; :; and
 WHERRAs. It is next to impossi- ble under preset conditions to bold more than one term of court wear in Valdez; and a failure to a,old more than one term year amounts practically to denial of justice to many persons; and in criminal cases neceseitates the !seldEing of iTisoners for nearly a year await mg trial; and
 WHEREAS. The business of the court.is rapidly increasing, both in the country along the Yukon rivar and the southerly coast of Alaska, from Kayak and Valdez to Cook Inlet, Kodiak, Unga and Unalas- ka points on the Alaska Peni&sula-; now therefore he it
 REsoLvEn, By the Chamber of Commerce ef Valdez Alaska, that it is highly imparlant and neces- sary that the Third Judicial Divis- ion of Alaska, be divided into two judicial divisions; and that one judge be appointed to preside over the Yukon division, and one judge to preside over the Valdez division be it farther

The steamer Discovery formerly on the run between Valdez and Seattle was this year changed off onto the Nome route. On her last trip down from there, with about 15 passengers, five of whom were from Nome, and the balance were picked up at Unga, Sand Point and Kodiak, the vessel stopped in at Valdez. a couple of passengers got off at this place, and before she left they secured one passenger from here for Seattle. Counting pas sengers and crew there were about 30 people on board. She left here Oct. 28, touching at all points- She stopped at Yakutat and was seen coming out of there by those on the Bertha on her last trip north. As far as known up to the present that was the last seen of the Dis covery. The Bertha reported 2 gale blowing at the time and the Discovery no doubt ran into it

Roads Parauount.

What Alaska wants, is justice, :" declared Senator Wilson at the Alaska Club mass meeting in Seat tie. Out of Alaska come semi ar,a,aslly committees asking for and urging legislation of all sorts and kinds. Congress is pretty busy, and if the attention of mem- bers is to he gotten for needed leg islation they must be shown Alas ka's needs in a clear and concise manner. l have heard you are asking for throe delegates. One is sufficient, and you will be for tunate if you get that one: If you proceed methodically, conserva- lively and are united, I undertake to say that congress yill be inclined to grant your requests.
 4'As l uadestand it. your para mount need is for good roads Next to that you need q thorough survey Congress should amend tine law which limits the size ol homesteads in Alaska, and provi. sion should be made for the ex- penditure of the money received from the sale of public lands in that district for good roads. Il they can take the money received from land sales in Washington Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and othe, states containing arid lands to pu, water on tine land, there is no req. son why the money for Alaska lands should not be used to build good roads.
 "Alaska is a country vastly greater than Finland. which lie. in the same latitude, and where similar conditions exist. Finland supports a population of 2,5OO,OO( persons, and her agricultural re. sources are extensive. Yet only 34 per cent of the land in FinlamG is under cultivation. You cannO develop Alaska in one year or 1T five years. You don't want to at tempt to do everything at once. io' it will require time. Yet under take to say that Alaska's develop ment could he accomplished quick CT if more of her people stayed in side during the winter. It viii re Quire good, hard work te build ul that territory, and it will requir' work day after day, wiatr ant summer"
