At last report he was still on the committees payroll.
 These thoughts, dredged up from various sources at around $35 a day, will be presented to the del egates meeting in Fairbanks with the proposal that "here, boys, IS your constitution; all you have to do is adopt it." And, if there are enough delegates willing to Ego a long," as they say, there'n be constitution adopted with a mini mum of effort and a maximum or ballyhoo. All of which will be used before the next Congress in sup reme effort to- get that venerable body to grant the Territory State hood.
 Elsewhere in this family journal will be found a list of the candid ates (with compliments of Wran- gell Drug) from which the voter is to select seven from the Terri tory at large, seven from the First Division at large and one from the Wrangell-PeteTsburg district.
