tional4convention developed the fact that
almost third of the limited appropria-
ton mas been used up, and the reporter
bill for transcrihing his notes is not in
yet. The first article for insertion in the
constitution was reported, but it is only

ance, or perhaps transcending it, is The
showing of the hands of those who desire
removal of the state capital to Provo.
The proposition cane from Carfman, of
Utah, and provides for the people to vote

other measure was for the protection of
the forestry. Two were introduced for the
