The convention of county auditors
which was recently held in Boise is
bound to result in much good to the
state, especially in the bringing
about Of uniform system of keep
ing accounts and in establishing a
uniform system of fees to be charged
for recording deeds and other Of
fetal documents. 1t developed at
the meeting that hardly any two
counties in the state used the same
method of keeping accounts or
charged the same fee for recording,
as result of whicha number of the
counties have lost each year hun
dreds Of dollars. By another year
every auditor in the state will be
using the same system. Another
good feature of the convention was
the appointment of a legislative
committee, whose duty 1t shall be
to bring to the attention Of the next
legislature irregularities IN the law
and recommend such changes as
will be beneficial to the people and
helpful to the auditors.
Auditor Holmes of this county
submitted property index form
which he has worked out, and which
was considered very good. Othe
auditors had forms of a similar ma
ture, and the best features Of al
will be combined into form 70

AS we understand it, it has
been definitely and finally de-

fall. 1t is to the interest of Delta
county that this fair be a success.
Its success is as vital to Paonia

Delta is the county seat and a
good display of products at the
county seat fair will advertise
every part of the county. The
fair organization should comprise
citizens from all the different Sec

LITTLE BUSINESS AT
 VALDEZ COURT TERM
Short Notice Made It Impossible for Attorneys to Get Witnesses
 in Attendance.

The term of court at Valdez is not a very busy one as it was called on such short notice that the lawyers in sever- al cases were unable to get their wit nesses to Valdez at the beginning of the term. The murder case against Jacob E. Bailey is set for next Monday and will probably be tried. Bailey is the man who shot and killed Robert Mcintosh on the Valdez-Yukon grade last spring. He will be defended by Brown X Smith of Valdez and l.. V. ! Ray of Seward.
 The present term of court was called by Judge Wickersham at the request of the attorney general, who had been urged by litigants to allow a term to be held in Valdez before Judge Wick ersham went to Juneau, where he will sit for probably three months forJudge l Gunnison, who will hold court in Fair banks during the same time. The Juneau term is set for April s, and court will adjourn in Valdez about April |.
 Judge Modernism was disinclined to hold court in Valdez before going to Juneau, as the term at the latter place had already been called, but the representations made by litigantS at Valdez to the attorney-general induced the holding of the March term in the latter place. Yet nobody was ready when court convened.
 The grand jury gives no signs of oyerwork. In concluding his charge Judge Wickersham stated that he eX- pected the grand jury to finish its work by Saturday night.
 Several Seward cases were disposed of on law points. What is known as the "beach case, the Alaska Central against Kopperund, was won by the railroad on a law point. The verdict of the jury in Judge Hildreth's court was in favor of the railroad company. Judgment was entered and execution issued. Then Judge Hildreth granted new trial. Judge Morford for the company applied to the district court for writ of review on the ground l that the commissioner exceeded his authority in granting the new trial, and Judge Wickersham so held.
 Judge Wickersham is very popular in Valdez and with attorneys practic- ing at the bar, by all of whom he is re- garded as an able lawyer and an eX- ccllent judge.

FAMOUS PLACERS LOST
 AND RECENTLY FOUND

The famous Lost Cabin placer strike has recently been found, through the untiring efforts of old man Mcleod a widely known prospectorof the Yukon. It is on Firth river, north and over the divide from the Chandlar, running in- to the Arctic ocean.
 The two men who made the original find took out S26,OOO and started for the outside via the Arctic ocean and Ber- ing sea. Their small boat capsized in Boring sea, and one man was drowned. The other reached St. Michael where he was taken ill and died. Before dy- ing he wrote a letter telling Mcleod where to find the diggings, and the hardy old miner, after years of search, has succeeded at last.

Hebbard and Heney at War

San Francisco, March This city is in a state of turmoil Judge Hebbard of the district court and Francis J. Ucuey, assistant United States district attorney. are seeking each other with guns, and blood will be spilled should they meet. Hebbard is the judge who granted Abe Ruef writ of error, and
 Ucuey alleges the jurist was intoyi- cared when he granted the writ.
 Heney will prefer charges and en- deavor To have Hebbard impeached. Hence tle clash between the two arms of the law.
 The sharitI of San Francisco county and his entire force have been deposed
 for their failure to assist the prose cutting attorneys in the Reuf case. Abe Ruet the primary cause of all this trouble, is still fugitive from 1 justice "nd all efforts to locate him have thus far proved futile A horde Of detectives are securing the country
