 The only business of the council yesterday was the confirming of the nomination by the governor of Dr. William DufieId to be territorial health
 officer and L. ". Collins to be assistant secretary.
 While on the subject of nominations it is recalled that there will shortly be another official change at the capitol. Lieutenant J. D. Carter has been booked to succeed Horace Harrison as secretary of the live stock sanitary board. Lieutenant Carter has for a short time been about the office Of the board familiarizing himself with the details. MT. Harrison will remain in the office for some time
