Journal: W. W. Baker is still state food
commissioner. The legislature elected
Charles Holman, a sor of Captain Charles
Holman, under the new law. to be state

isolated US this winter, but it chinooked
long enough the other day to open passage

else it may be. goes. Darn your political
yurptlon, but hurrah for your business
