blind commission is now engaged. The
commission is allowed one-tenth Of
one mill in the annual tax levy and
this nets about 5000 semi-annually or
$3.50 a year. on Say ~, 1905,
when the commission composed Of
George b. Christian, Hayes Thompson

the county commissioners apprOpri-

Since that time the commission has

the law. Twelve of these have been
rejected. Eight applications have just
been made to the commission and all

Sept. !. 1909 and all of the Offices
have resolved in fees more than has

At the present time the officials are
on a salary but the law states that
they are to be paid whether the fees
collected amount to enough to pay
the expenses or not. Commencing
Jan. l., the officials must collect
enough in fees to pay their salaries
or they may have to work for mighty

his Notes on the Patent of 1909"
The commercial success which the
Clermont attained led. within a few
months to the necessity of tis enlarge
ment and development, and this re-
construction obscured the knowledge
of the initial plans for the first Amer
lean boat. which until recently have
been considered lost.
We now come to the Clermonts
memorable first voyage on the Hud-
sen. on August II. at 1 o'clock. the
boat was loosed irom its moorings at
n dock on the North river, near the
states prison, Greenwich village.
Fulton's own account of the event and
of his feelings at this crisis have for
tunately been preserved in valuable
letter to an unknown friend, which Is
now in the possession of Mr.. Robert
Fulton Blight, and which has never
before been published. 1t reads:
"My Dear Sir-The moment arrived
in which the word was to be given for
the boat to move. My friends We're
in groups on the deck. There was
anxiety mixed with fear among them.
They were silent. sad and weary. /
read in their looks nothing but dis
aster, and almost repented of my ef-
forts The signal was given and the
boat moved on short distance and
then stopped and became immovable.
To the silence OF the preceding mo-
ment, now succeeded murmurs of dis
content and agitatlons, and whispers
and shrugs. / could hear distinctly
repeated: I told you 1t was so; 1t is
foolish scheme; ] wish we We're
well out of 1t.
"I elevated myself upon platform
and addressed the assembly. l stat
ed that / knew not what was the mat
ter. but il they would be quiet and
indulge me for half an hour. l would
either go on or abandon the voyage
for that time This short respite was
conceded without objection. ! went
below and examined the machinery,
and discovered that the cause was
slight maladjustment of some OF the
work In n short time 1t was obVl-
ated. The boat was again put In mo-
ton. She continued to move on. All
were still incredulous. None seemed
willing to trust the evidence of their
own senses. We left the fair city OF
New york. we passed through the ro-
mantle and everv-vhryinp scenery OF

address was listened to with much in

Rev Rourke referred to the mean.
ing of the word Alaska, being SYM
onym for Great Land. D." He pro-
claimed 1t remarkable country, a
land of unlimited resources and
wealth. He stated that in all that eN-
tensive area only eighty thousand
people reside. He declared that the
country is not as Wild as IT, is often
described and grew eloquent i'm his
references to the magnificent land
scapes and his descriptions of the
characters on the boat while going to
and from Alaska were humorous and
extremely interesting.
The speaker declared that the OPP
portuntes Of Alaska are just open
ing. When railroad lines are opened
up and shipping courses are laid out,
then the lands will grow immensely
valuable. He spoke of the immense
deposits of gold, silver and coal and
pronounced the timber the finest he
had ever seen.
In concluding Rev. Rourke spoke
'of his visit to the nome of an old
| personal friend in Alaska. He de-
| scribed his astonshment when he saw
that the home was equipped with
bath and toilet, electric lights, steam
heat and modern in almost every re-
srect. He declared that many Alaska
homes were modern.
Continuing the pastor referred to
the possibilities of Alaska as mis-
sionary field.
