MH. DOLE DIB8ENT8 ON ONE POINT.
The report is unanimou. except on one point
r.n which Mr. Dole makea a minorlty recom
mandation. This recommendatlon la for a board
of advlaera to th" Oovornor of the Territory. and

General, Superlntendenl of Public Worka and
Commbraloner of Public Landa ahall be made
apeclal counaellora of th" Governor, to be con
Bulted by him concernlng all matter* of public
