eral surveyor who was denied a
reinstatement of his commission
on the grounds that he is over 70

commission.
A telegram to Reed from Sen.

Reed that his commission is in the
process of issuance.
The denial by a Washington,

consideration two things: First,
that Reed is in robust health. Sec
ond, that Reed is about the only
mineral surveyor in these parts.
