Re-Casting Divisions.
(Ketchikan Chronicle. )

(Ketchkan Chronice.)
 No grand jury in the history of Ketchikan has made as important recommendation that made Wednesday when appeal sent forth to the Federal Government to recas the divisions of Alaska making all of that part of the panhandle. south of Cape Fanshaw, judicial dvision with Ketchikan headquarters.
 In the recent election, there many more votes cast in the proposed division than in the whole of what is the Second division. The annual trade in Ketchikan is approximately five times that of the Second division, the number of court in Ket- cLikan alone is greater than those of the whole Second division by large percentage. The number of inhabitants in Ketchikan and vicinity is tremend ousy than the population of the Second division Another important reason why there should be court in Ketchikan permanently is the fact that is right the border, the first town reached after crossing the Canadian line. A marshal should have his headquarters here with sufficient number of officers to check the illicit traffic in liquor that is constantly going on, which is known definitely to be in progress and yet which it seems impossible to stop without the aid of more officers
 To say nothing of the mining in progress the paper industries that spring up in the next few months, the fact that there than fifty large canneres within radius of fifty miles from which and about which there Is always or less court business, demands divisional headquarters here.
 Ketchikan should send man to Washington to present the case to the Department of Justice the President and the Judiciary Committee of the Sen ate. For Washington, it is a matter of dollars and cents, business proposition and as the facts all favor Ketchkan, there is doubt favorable action would be taken. meeting should be held immed- lately in order to start the ball rolling
 That part of the report of the grand jury which refers to this subject is follows:
 We urgently recommend that the divisions
 of the Judicial District of Alaska be immed-
 lately re-casted by Act of Congress to the
 effect that equal justice may be done to the
 respective judges of each division the in habitants thereof, the litiSants and other per-
 sons having matters requiring hearing before
 and consideration in the respective divisions
 of said District Court follows:
 Division Number One to consist of all
 that portion of the present First Judicial Division north of Prince Frederick Sound
 and including all of Baranof Island and the mainland North of Cape Fanshaw
 Division Number Two to consist of the
 remainder of the present First division. Division Number Three to remain un- changed.
 Division Number Four to consist of the
 territory which constitutes the Second
 and Fourth Divisions; in other words said
 division.
 The census, the vote at the lest general
 election in Alaska, the Court records show conclusively that the aforesaid act of Congress should be approved before the com
 Ing spring terms of Court are held in the
 aforesaid respective divisions in the said Dis
 trict Court.
