Two straight pieces of board, a little
longer than half the diameter of the

between these two pieces. The wheel

on in the same manner.
The bolt serves as an axle for the
wheel.
1t may be well here to say a word
about the wheels themselves. Four
wheels are needed. Two on the front
truck, one at the rear of the wagon
bed and one at the end of the out
rigger. The wheels are best if they
are all of the same size, although it
is only essential that the two wheels
on the forward truck be of the same
size.

1T was into this company that John
the Simpleton elbowed his way after
he had finished his evening meal. The
disguise that he had assumed was
complete. He had placed on his face
fierce beard and mustachio, and had
buckled him round with a belt from
which a long rapier hung. Thus equip
ped he had no difficulty in mimicking
the careless swagger of a soldier. He
was tall and thin. but he was also
strong, and he hustled the company
about with scant ceremony, as became
rough inhabitant of the camps.
Assuming free and an easy ad-
dress, the Simpleton soon fell into
conversation with those about him, one
of whom CHANGED to be the worthy
Mayor. You have a goodly city here,
goodly inn, and right Jolly land

 A delegate, in speaking Of the con- vention last night, said:
 "The impression made by the conven- tion on the people who were present at the evening session could not have been more satisfactory. That the speeches that were made were excellent, and the arguments unassailable, was conceded by all who heard them.
 Judge Delaney was at his best, and besides fairly faying the snap methods of the tories, as only he can do, he de- livered an eloquent and convincing ar- gument in favor of territorial govern ment for Alaska.
 Gov Swineford's speech was im- mense. He confined himself to argu- ment and he left no doubt in anybody's mind as to the need for territorial gov ernment in Alaska.
 "Charles Sulzer, brother of the New York congressman, was probably the or ator of the convention, his speech was excelently received.
 "Tom Marquam, of Haines, J. J. Burns of Skagway and E. NJ. Barnes of Panama all made excellent speeches and each made distinctive hits.

 There will probably be a good attend ance at the meeting.
