Kirk, to be present on the occasion o1 Cameron" day in Douglas. They first went to Bisbee where most of Wednesday was spent riding around the city and calling on people. The party reached Douglas at 6:30 Wednesday even ing.
 Great preparations had been made for the entertainment of the guests in Douglas, the cele- bration ping especially in honor of Delegate Cameron and jointly with him the governor all those who had done special service i'll the cause of stathood, as well as general celebrating over the pas sage of the statehood bill. That being the accomplished fact, however, the oratory and special interest of the event centered around the more timely subject of the constitutional convention, which will be the next step in the process of forming the new state.
 A public. reception was tender ed to Delegate Cameron and Governor Sloan in the city park, where some 2000 people assemhld Speeches were made by the guests of the evening and others, and afterward they shook hands with all who passed the Stands.
