These annual recurring exercises typify the beautiful ideas of a memory kept ever green in the minds and the blossoms of grat- itude and hope in the hearts of a great and free people. Given under my hand and the seal of Alaska at Juneau, the capital, this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and of the independence of the United States of America the one one hundred and thirty-seventh.
