Know Ye By Those Present
 The constitutional convention goes on as scheduled. The S35O,OOO which the last Legislature appro- priated for the big show and which Sid Charles, at the ketchlkan News, hints broadly is going down the rat hole, will be spent so the Territorial Treasurer won't have to worry about what to do with the money.
 This week the Governor gave impetus to the event by declaring the week from September 6 to 13, the latter date being election day, as Constitutional Convention Week. and urged all voters to ral- ly round on the 18th and cast ballot for delegates. (See proclaim ation elsewhere in today's paper.) Purpose of the convention which is scheduled to convene at the Uni versity of Alaska November 8, is to draw up constitution for the proposed new state of Alaska. There will be 55 delegates elected from various districts in the Terri tory, and there are plenty of can didates so take your choice. On the ballot you'll find the names of 23 candidates for delegate-at-large for the Territory seven are to be elected.

 Eagle Eye
 Howard w. Jones, president of the National Securities Corpora ton in Seattle reads The Sentinel with an eagle eye and so do some or his friends in the lumber busi- ness. They've come up with the figures that if, as The Sentinel re- ported, the 3,500,0O0 board feet of lumber recently loaded here for Japan aboard the Kosho Maru was worth more than a million dol lars," the price would be about $2S5.71 per thousand.
 What should your statement say queries MT. Jones.
 Our statement should say that Aiaska spruce and hemlock is worth $2S5.71 per thousand. and that we are no hand at all at fig ures.
