 An Alaska Product.
 The fact that all the years of Mir. Bunnell'sv active manhood have been spent in Alaska and that he has made success of them is one that appeals to the people of the North.
 Mir Bunnen was only 22 years old when he first came to Alaska, fresh from receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from Bucknell University, as teacher under the bureau of educa. tion. The following year he returned East and, in accordance with previous arrangements, he married Miss Anna Kline. also a classmate at BucInell | University. They returned to Alaska, and worked two years more in the government educational service. In 1903, he was elected principal of the Valdez public schools, which he grad ed and to which he added high | school. In the meantime, through an assignment of work, he had been giv- en his Master of Arts degree by Buck nell University.
 In 1907 MT. BunneiI began the prac- tice of law. As lawyer, he succeed ed from the beginning His general practice is said to be the largest of that of any lawyer in the Westward country By the application of his na- tive ability, his thorough preparation and untiring industry. he has accumu- lated a modest competency, though he is but S6 years of age.
 The story of Mir. Bunnelps struggle to success Is one that is familiar to those who have made a study of Amer ican biography, but one that never fails to appeal to Americans because it is the story of those who have made America great. He was born on a farm. After going through the grad ed schools and high school, he worked his way through the two years acad. emic course, attending Keystone acad- emy. Following his graduation from the academy, he matriculated at Buck nell University and made his way by working as a waiter. During these years of hardship and privation he learned to view life from the stand point of the man who tolls, and there was developed in him those broad sym pathies which count for true democ- racy.

 In his speech of acceptance at Skag- way Mir. Bunnel confessed that he "got into fast company" during his college days-"very fast company, and company that is still going" He ex. plained that he was classmate of "Christy" Matthewson, one Of the most famous of the worlds baseball pitch CTS. at Keystone academy and Buck nelPs university.
