One of the obligations of the repub- Iican territorial convention which will meet in Juneau in November to elect delegates to the national convention of 1908 will be to order some fair basis of apportionment for future conventions.
 The Southeastern Alaska politicians who assume to be proprietorS of the party in the territory, in the call for the coming convention allotted the same number of delegates to each judi cial division. Thi, looks very fair 10 che man who jumps at conclusions but when notice is taken of the fact that the Second aud Third diviNiors each boiled twice as many votes aS the First in the delegate election last wear it appears more like game of grab.

CARVED THE CORPSE
 TOFIT THE BARREL

Many old-timerS arrived on the steamer Dora from the west. In dis cussing events which happened years ago along the Alaska peninsula many gruesome tales are told, not all of which are creatures of the imagina- tion. One old sourdough vouches for this story;
 An uncanny event happened some years ago at a cannery, the name of which it is unnecessary to print. A lot of Chinameu were employed then, as now, to clean and can the salmon. The contract under which these Celes- tials were engaged required the com pany Co return them from whence they came, dead or alive, as the bones of the deceased must be returned to China for final interment.
 Running by this cannery is a stream which has its origin in mountain near by. This creek cuts a copper de- posit or ledge and the poisonous metal contaminates the waters percolating through it, often dealing death to any one assuaging his thirst from it's deceiving depths.
 One day sixteen of the heathens curled up and died, presumably from the poisonous waters. The foreman was in a quandary as to what to do with the remains, as no boxes were available in which to ship them Go Frisco. Someone suggested salmon barrels would be a good substitute for boxes. It was found that the barrels were too short to contain the entire body so it became necessary to carve a corpse in several pieces. One of the employees would take an inanimate, nude form, hold the head, the body and limbs lying on a solid block of wood Another fellow would take an ax and cut off the lower limbs, thus reducing the corpse to a size which would fit the barrel This accomplish ed, the remains were duly salted, and sent to the place from whence the victim had departed in life a couple of months before.

Innoko a Hunters Paradise

Ed Stephenson, who was on a recent
 trip up the Innoko river, says that the stream is hunters paradise. Ducks and geese are nesting along the river and inthe neighboring lakes and marsh es in countless thousands. As the steam CT moved along they were continually rising in black clouds on either side.
 They were almost as thick as the mosquitoes, and that is going some, for with the boat in motion and the smudges aboard going full blast they made life almost unbearable. As the stream is sluggish and not fed by any glaciers it is perfectly clear, thus en- ahling one to look deep into the water, which is alive with fish--juke, salmon, grayling and white ish.-Fairbanks Times.
