LLOYD WATROUS DROWNED
 IN THE YUKON RIVER

Arrivals on the NJ. l.. Wash burn brought the sad news of the death by drowning of Lloyd Watrous, which occurred at the mouth of the Yukon about the 27th of last month.
 Lloyd Watrous, who was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J, Watrous, formerly of Dikeman and Iditarod, left here with his parents and sister. on the gasoline boat Dan about three weeks ago. De- tails regarding the accident are meager, but it is stated that the deceased fell off the boat into deep water. He was a powerful swimmer, and as he seemed to be holding his own in the water, no fears were felt of q fatal termination of the accident. Presently, however, he was seen to stop swimming, and suddenly disappeared in full view of his parents and sister It is believed he At time of writing the body had not been recovered
 Lloyd Watrous was a promising youth. He was a fine athlete, and had proved his prowess many times in competition with all corners both here and in the Fairbanks district.

 Mr. Roman thanked them for the honor but withdrew his name. After discussion, Mr Roman allowed his name to be placed in nomination.
 It having been moved and carried that nominations close, Mir Smith sug- gested that Mr. Roden be allowed to address the meeting. Granted.
 In thanking the convention for the honor they had done him in naming him as a candidate for the Senate of the First Alaska Legislature, Henry Roden made a most effective speech. The many schemes which he outlined for the benefit of his fellow w-Alaskans showed the hours of careful thought he had devoted to their consideration, thinking only of themselves, he.a at least, had spent his evenings and waking hours working out problems for the amelioration of the lot of the miner and settler in Alaska, and making it easier for them to fight the battle of life while they are able, and take the rest which is their due when they can no longer battle with the strong. His speech was touched here and there with those quaint, yet sage. remarks which have helped to put him where he is. At times the speaker waXed quite eloquent on what he intended to do when he was elected, for MT. Roden, like his supporters, has no doubt what ever of his success next November. But whatever he said whether it was serious or touched with humOr, it went to the hearts of the audience, and many a cheer gave the orator time to mop his brow and get his wind for another onslaught. When he reached the point where reflections had beem made upon his candidacy because of his business affiliations, Mr. Roden got hot, and challenged anybody who would cast a slur upon his character to do so on the sidewalk. He said that if elected, and before he went to Juneau he would place his written resignation in the hands of any three men whom they might name, who would be at lib erty to accept the same the moment they discovered he had not conducted himself in a perfectly honorable man. ner-that would be his recall. He said
 that he wanted the support of them al

NOMINATED F0R SEuATQR

It would be ditficult to imagine a more atisfactory convention than the one held last Monday evening at Flat City for the purpose of nominating a Non-P tisun candidate for senator to the First Alaska legislature. Entered upon by many of the delegates with a certain amount of misgivjng, long be- fore the convention had drawn to it's close the mist of doubt had rolled away and in it's place there was feeling of mutual satisfaction at the moderation and self-restraint exhibited by the dele gates and spectators, and universal con tidence in the ability and integrity of the nominee of the convention-Henry ROden.
 With Tom McMahon as temporary chairman, the convention was called to order in A. B. Hall shortly after 9 o'clock, and Ashby E. Bain was ap- pointad secretary.
 The temporary chairman then named Dr. E. NJ. Spaulding. A. A. Shonbeck and Phil Keith to act as committee on credentials. The committee found that the following were entitled to sit delegates to the conventions:
 Iditarod-J H Smith, Albert Vile, G NJ Arbuckle, John Strelc, D s Mo- Donell, Fred Bruhn, Henry Weir, E NJ Rusk, Sam B&yles. NJ Gularte, H BoSz, E Coke Hill, Charles Miller, E NJ Stanton, A c Kramer Sam Wilmer and George Lee; Flat-Dr E NJ SpauId- ing, Tom McMahon, Jack Roman, Joe Jerman, Jonas Brewis, Herb Lynch, Abe Weiss, A E Bain, W Hunsaker, Ray Longdon, Henry Riley, c Suter, R Lowrie, F Stanley, c Mutchler, o Anderson, F Snyder.

Jas Fraser, Phil Keith, Joe Barker, w Me Grath, w Richardson, Chronister, R D Clark and Frank Egan.
 It having been moved and seconded that the report of the committee on credentials be accepted A E Light in- terposed an objection. He pleaded for mass meeting, and put up a very fine talk in support of his contention, but on vote being taken, the report was adopted by 3l to l3.
 Dr. Spaulding was elected permanent chairman and A E Bain secretary.

He dwelt on his early struggles in the North: how he had been impressed the first days after his arrival (nearly 15 years ago) with the wonderful opportunities presented in so vast a country. He told how he had worked at the windlass, with the pick and the shovel and how he had trundled the wheelbarrow many q day His first introduction to law, he said, came in 8 peculiar manner. One day he walked into a courtro0m-it was in "that dear old Rampant" It was the first time in his life he had ever been in such place. He looked around, taking in what was going on, and said to himself, T can do that as we'll as any of those fellows there." He then went home, and every evening, while his bunkhouS mates and fellow laborers were playing cards, he studied law. In due course he was admitted to the bar. -fll' isONCI l'OtLIICNt OuU -LclU lAC IliNl llOL intended to become candidate, but had been forced into the race. Now that he was in it, he was going through and he was going to wifi, But he wanted the assistance of everybody in the district.
 John Roman next addressed the meet ing. He said that he had thought of making few suggestions, but after all the things that Mr. Roden had prom ised them when he was elected to the legislature, he realized that there would be nothing left for him to prom ise-everything had been promised by Mr. Roden. He explained that he had refused to allow himself to become a candidate at first, but that his friends had put it up to him in such way that he could uot get away from it. He moved that the nomination of Henry Roden be made unanimous.
 The motion was put and carried by exclamation, and Dan Sutherland was endorsed as a candidate for representa- tive.
 The meeting then adjourned.
