People returning from Valdez on
the last boats say that the present
term of court at Valdez will be a rec
ord breaker so far as expense to the
government is concerned. Estimates
of the cost vary from $50,000 to $60,
000 ,and it will probably be the latter
part of November before the term is
finished. Instead of the usual custom
of issuing subpoenas in rotation so
that cases from one section will fol
low those from another, all of the
witnesses in all the cases were called
to Valdez' at the opening of the term
of court.
Those informed state that many of
the witnesses will have to remain at
Valdez for from a month to six weeks
before the cases in which they are
interested come before the court.
It is pointed out that while it was
necessary for all of the witnesses in
cases to the westward to be brought
to Valdez at once, owing to poor
steamer service, a reasonable time
should have been allowed to lapse for
the bringing of the cases before the
grand jury before people were called
in cases from Anchorage, Seward,
Valdez, Chitina, Cordova and other
places within easy reach.
District Attorney Spense and Judge
Munley, his only deputy sinoe Whit
tlesey was let out, are endeavooring
to handle for the government about
86 criminal cases, which are on the
docket for ther term. Those acquaint
ed with court affairs state that with
such a calendar it is practtically im
possible for the government to be
prepared when the cases are brought
up.
Ill feeling between the district at
torney’s office and other branches of
the court is said to exist and this fur
ther handicaps speedy and efficient
action.

USEFUL HINT
TU PUNTERS
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
It is generally reported among the
farmers of the vicinity of Fairbanks
that a scab of some nature is to be
found on most of the potatoes now
being raised here. It was noticeable
last year, but it is distributed over a
much larger area of country this
year.
One who is interested in Alaska
and in the products raised here has
reported the matter of the scabs to
a botanist of the highest authority
on matters agricultural. And the
botanist writes that without actual
inspection he cannot express an
opinion, as there are several kinds
of scabs. Some are due to fungi and
some to insects, while others appear
to be due to the nature of the soil. It
is his opinion that in the case of the
fungus or insect scabs they would no
doubt be imported. It is pointed out
that a mild insecticide wash, which
would be superficial only and would
not affect the vitality of the potatoes,
should be sufficient to prevent the
scab.
The freedom of indigenous plants
in Alaska from insect pests, etc., and
their thriftiness, is considered noth
ing short of remarkable by botanists.
They say that the immunity is
chiefly due to the fact that perpetual
frost exists at a depth of but a few
feet.
Therefore, considering the fact that
it is believed that the scab on the po
tatoes is imported, a little care at
seeding time will save this country
from the pests that burden fruit and
vegetable growers on the Outside.
