AN ALASKAN IN DIAN STUDENTS
 EXPERIENCE
IN THE MADISON
 SQUARE GARDEN

The International Christian En- deavor Convention for 1892 was held in the great Madison Square Garden of New York City, the second week in July. At that time it was the greatest gathering of its kind ever held on the continent, and many na- tions outside of the United States were represented.
 In every session of the convention for four days, the great building was crowded with 15,00o delegates Mir. Sankey led the singing in all the sessions, and to hear an uplift- ing song sung by mighty army of earnest young men and women is an experience that is not easily forgot ten. Among the many speakers were MT. Moody, the evangelist, and MT. Chauncey NJ. Depew, the orator of New York.
 My part in that convention was simply to make a response for Alas ka at the state and territorial roll call, near the end of the sessions When the committee notified me of this sometime during the preceding spring, began to compose my three minute speech and commit it to memory. 1 would recite the speech to myself sometimes in my own room, sometimes down in the coal basement; but more often among the trees on a big farm on the out skirts of Marietta, and always out of hearing of any other living being. never asked for any one's help on the composition of the speech, and 1 kept the whole thing secret to myself. i
 I deemed it great speech for a great occasion, and how I flattered myself with the thought that the whole convention would be carried away with it. It was one, as thought, that would rival Lincoln's great and immortal three minute speech on the battlefield of Get tysburg.
 It must be remembered that at that time I had just finished my

ALL FLAGS OUT Oh
 NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY

Monday, December 9th, the opening day of congress, has been named by the American Defense Society as De- fense Day throughout the United States, a day for holding mass meet ings and addressing letters and tele- grams to congress on behalf of bet ter national defenses.
 In order to make the occasion an impressive one. the American De- fense Society has requested the CO., operation of Governor Hunt, asking that he designate this as flag day on which day all citizens of Arizona in favor of greater national defenses are urgently requested to show such belief by hanging out flags at every home.
 Governor Hunt has written the so- ciety that the plan meets with his hearty approval and he has appointed a committee to take charge of the matter in this state, among the members being Col. John Greenway of Bisbee, Hon. Homer R. Green of Prescott and Captain Harry Wheeler of Tombstone.
 On Defense Day, cards will be dis tributed by the society, containing appeals to be signed by the voters, directed to the members of congress urging that they take action at the next session of congress in favor of an adequate national defense.

 out the purposes for which the com parv was formed or agree to sell the property or to it's distribution among the stockholders. He made six propo- sitions He first offered to buy the holdings of Cook and Mackay at $500 an acre or to sell his own at the same valuation; he proposed that they fix any value for their interests and give him the option of either selling his stock to them or buying theirs at this figure, he to exercise one of the two options; he offered to put a value on the stock of the company and give Cook and Mackay the option of buying his stock at that figure or selling their stock to him at the same valuation, one of which options they were to exercise; Spreck- els further offered to cooperate with Cock anI ATackay in providing funds which should be used to develop the property or in case they were un- willing to do this he suggested that the property be offered for sale and that it should be sold to the highest bidder and the company thereupon go into liqilation. Finally he proposed that the company be liquidated and the property partitioned among the stockholders. To all of these prcpo- sitions Cook and Mackay replied that they could not accept or act on any of Spreckels' offers or suggestions.
 As president of the board of dl- rectors Spreckels then called a meet ing of the board for October '. Cook and Mackay did not attend. and the meeting was adjourned until the fol- lowing day. Again Mackay and Cook were absent, and the meeting ad- journed to Oct. 15. The third meeting was as unsuccessful as the first two, and it was not until October 26 that a meeting was held with all five di- rectOrs present.
 Even then, Spreckels' complaint says, Mackay and Cook refused to consider or discuss in any way the business or affairs of the company, or to consider an advantageous offer from the Francisco Sugar company. which owns an adjoining tract to purchase the land in Cuba.
 The complaint states that no meet ing Of the stockholders has ever been held since the organization of the
 
 been only four meetings of the di- rectorS between the years 1903 ana 1915, all Of them merely for the transaction of routine business.
 Aside from the prominence and financial standing of the men behind the Federal Plantations company, the quo warranto proceedings instituted against the concern last week by At torney General Wiley E. Jones are considered of the greatest import ance. The attorney general. who charges the company with holding land in Cula for speculative and in vestment purposes in violation of it's charter, has announced that he will proceed against all companies incor- porated -n this state which are not complying with their articles of in corporation.

He was a medium sized high diver who risked his neck before Sunday crowds for a pass time. He made a fair cutaway, a medium straight dive, and a bum gaynor. His spec ialty was the belly flop from the third platform.
 In describing my hero I had best tell of his activities. lis trainer calls him light headed youth with one Of those pompadours and loud voice. One year ne is an amateur prize fighter at the Elks. the next. he is cycle-car mad. He is well built for the former. Short bristly hair. a nose that was made ito be punched, and a laugh that sets Geary wild. At present this char acter is holding down swift posi- tion in the back field of a state championship football team. At one time in his soaring career he necame interested in the f1eio o- art. At this he was a fizzle.
