That year he went to the Yukon prospect ing, and ever since then, with pick, shovel and pan, has followed the fortunes ot the various camps in the North. He was well known in the early Dawson days, and when gold was discovered in Alaska crossed the boundary and cast his lot with the new country. For many years he was United States commissioner on the kantishna, and was one of the earliest pioneers ot the Mount Mckinley district, at the head Of the kantlshna river. A year ago last win ter he was in Fairbanks but since then had lived in precarious health in the lttle camp which was his home so long. There he was interested in some quartz pros poets, who, so far as known IS the only property he left behind
 He was a member of the Pioneers ot the Yukon. and also one of the oldest members of the Pioneers of Alaska. Although noth- ing was said of his burial, it Is presumed that it took place on the Kantishna, which is a hundred miles from here, and tWce that distance by trail or river.

A meeting of the town council was held Thursday night at the fire hail. Inc ses- sion was presided over by Mayor Baker, and all the councilfnen were present.
 The principal business of the evening was the allowing of bills incurred in the recent street work and also providing payment for the gasoline pumping plant recently ordered The total bills allowed amounted to $2, 4956O As the cash on hand amounts to only $11SO78, there will be deficit of S1,314S2, but as the payment on the machinery Is not yet due it IS expected that the necessary funds will be on hand to meet all bills.

 These things are of far more importance than the personality of the man who Is to become the next delegate to congress. In fact the discussion of such matters IS far more likely to result in the choice of a suitable candidate for delegate to congress than the discussion of the way men have been voting in the past. Let the time from the present until the meeting of the nomi- national convention be devoted to a careful consideration of Alaskan problems, and the character of the democracy of those who discuss them will disclose itself,
 The Democrats of Alaska should go to the territorial convention with a thorough working program which they would have the next delegate to congress and the next territorial legislature carry out. If they have that the selection of candidates should not be a difficult matter.

BILLY LLOYD DEAD
Fairbanks News Miner, June 25l "What do you do with your gold dust? What do you do with your pay? Tell me, are you rocking,
 Rocking every duy?'

No more will Billy Lloyd sing the old song which he composed and loved so well and which he sang from the klondike to Fairbanks, to the delight of every old sour dough who heard Ii. His heart went out in that song, and when he sang 1t visions of the golden days in new diggns and the music of running sluices and creaking rock CTS moved those around him.
 His voice is now stiIled in death, and hs warm, generous, true heart has ceased to beat, but his memory will live long in every camp in the far North, for he was known and respected in all of them. In the shadow If Mount Mckinley, on the upper waters of the kantishna, in the land he loved, Billy Lloyd crossed the Great Dl- vide on June II, in the cabin of his friend, William R. Taylor who today wired the news to William McPhee. Death came from stomach trouble and natural causes after a short illness which he could not survive He was 6+ years old, and ot English birth,
 William R. Lloyd came to Alaska in 1888, the same year as William McPhee, who knew him throughout his later life.
