' , ' The first Grand Jury list for the ex clusive use of the United States Circuit Court has been selected, and on it ara the names of 1000 taxpayers of 1 tba State of Oregon, who may be called upon some time to act as jurors. The list is expected to last several years and it may be some time before itho jurors' names who appear will be drawn for the jury box.

In , this county he selected the names from , the tax roll and in other counties ha . seat to the clerk of the county for a number of names ot taxpayers, irre spective of party. Each county .has been accorded a certain number of jurors, the ratio' being struck accord ing to tbe population in various parts ot the state.

There is only one editor in .the 1000 names, and be comes irom uooa stiver country. How he happened to be chosen is a mystery, as editors and ' newspaper men In geceral are usually ' considered to be too well Informed oa matters of the court to make good jurors without prejudice, and they are therefoie rarely chosen. This editor is alone in his glory. " There is but on 3 Smith, which U more remarkable even than that .there is only one editor.
