JUDGE OVERFlELD
 GOING TO VALDEZ

Sometime ago Judge overfleld sit ting in the district court here, was subpoenaed by mail to appear as 9 witness in the Washington-Alaska bank trials now being held in Val dez. With the subpoenae came in- structions that telegraphic adyices would be sent when he should be wanted.
 The advice was received today and Judge Overfield is to take the Mari posa for Valdez. This morning Judge overfield called the civil calendar consisting of about 75 cases but un- der the circumstances the causes will not progress very rapidly
 In addition to the burdensome civil calendar there are several very i'm portant criminal prosecutions now un- der way. There are in the neighbor- hood of 75 government witnesses now waiting to be called District Attorney Rustgard is quite disturbed over the situation that has arisen and has wired long protest to the attor-

A Sensation was created in the dis trict court this morning over the open ing of the alleged secret indictment of Joe Mcdonald for the murder of N c. Jones. some years ago This morning Mir. Cobb arose in court and stated that he had been instructed by wire from Joseph Mcdonald to say to the court. and district attorneys office. that if there was an indictment pending against him. extradition would not be necessary but he would appear for trial at any time that it suited the government. Mir. Cobb further stated that he had sought to take up the matter with the district attorney but the district attorney de- clined to discuss the matter on the ground that it was still a secret in- dictment Judge Overfield asked that the matter be taken up in chambers.
 The Empire asked Mir Cobb where Mr. Mcdonald was but he declined to discuss the matter at all until the court had taken some action.
 On Dec. r the grand jury after several days of investigation and the taking of testimony from witnesses that had been summoned from far and distant points in the United states brought in a secret indictment.
 Everybody in town was practically certain of the case under investigation aud against whom the indictment was

The publica- tion to the effect that the secret in dictment found that day was against Joe Mcdonald together with a part of the testimony taken at the coron- CTS inquest created great indignation amongst members of the grand jury. One member, Mir. Achison, who lives in Skagway, refused to so home al though he had been excused from fur ther service, until the publisher of the publication was summoned before the grand jury,
 The district attorneys office, as well as the attorneys for MT. McDon- aid. are incensed over the publication of the proceedings at this time. The testimony taken at the coroner's in quest ten years was loaned by Judge J. F. Malony under express in structlons that it must not be pub lishcd and the pledge of faith exacted that it would not be printed. The publicity given the matter makes it practically impossible for the trial to be held in Juneau.

GREAT PROGRESS OF DEVELOPMENT

 The bearings are set for the pair of great pelton wheels. between which will swing the immense generator. When these things begin to turn In working condition 1,5OO kilowats of new electric energy will be transport ed to the mine and tunnel develop ments of the company. There are about thirty men employed at the pow CT house or beach camp.
 At the lower dam camp the saw mill is busy cutting timbers to be used in the construction of the great dam two miles further up the basin. There are about twenty-five men all told working here.
 At the site of the upper dam an other force of men numbering about twenty-five is busily engaged in pre- pairing the ground for the construc- tion of the great Work. Just a leW days ago one crew commenced work on the tunnel which is to be driven up to tap the bottom of the basin res ervoir. The weather conditions SO far have been a great deal better than could be expected.
 There is scarcely any snow to be encountered. The tram road is clear from the upper dam to the beach and supplies move freely. Everybody is cheerful along the line and there seems to be no reason why the work should not keep moving at the same pace that marked the finish of the first unit.

 The Alaska.Gastineau Company has done a great deal Of work during the past five months in their power de- velopment project at Salmon creek. People who live in town accept the statement along with the results, but give little thought to initiative and en- ergy that bring results.
 Since last June, practically all of the work, in that division of the com pany's activities, has been brought to it's present stage of development.
 The first unit of the great power project is now practically completed. The biz Hume. 4x6 feet, is sIl finished from the lower dam to the penstock, a distance of 12,OOO feet. The fOun- dation for this Hume is cut out or the mountain side at an elevation of nearly 100 feet. In many places heavy rock cuts were encountered, and throughout the entire distance the right of way was filled with heavy spruce which called for generous use of powder.
 The penstOck will be finished be- fore Christmas. and then the waters of Salmon creek can be turned into their new channel of usefulness. There remains. however, a few days work in the power house before this is fin ished.
