| for general maintenance in addition to the special maintenance of the agricultural experiment station. The people of Alaska are asked to es- tablish, to organize. to control and to enjoy the benefits to flow from this first college to be located in the Territory.
 While congress has thus been | liberal in it's endowment by the grant of public lands and the ,ap- propriation of treasury funds, it has wisely placed the burden of the con trol of the institution upon the peo- pie of Alaska. Your legislature must provide ways and means for con structing buildings. employing teach, CTS and organizing the work of the college, before we can have the benefit of the cash $5O,O0O per an mum maintenance fund out of the United States treasury. To secure the college plant there must be a preliminary organization of active and intelligent work. A plan must be arranged and persistent personal effort made along constructive lines. The members of the legislature must be made acquainted with the situation and persuaded to act favor ably and promptly. To do this work there must be preliminary or ganization.
 The acts of congress do not i'm pose any official responsibility to do this preliminary work on any official, nor is there any authority for imposing it upon any private citizen. The public necessity will hO1 oil to engage in so worthy work and probably your delegate in con gress who is responsible for the enactment of the law is justified in taking the first step in perfecting an organization of citizens to aid in the work. have determined, therefore, to request a number of public spirited citizens of the Panama valley to act as a committee on the organization and establishment of the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, with the distinct statement that there is no law au thoriZing such action, nor to pre- vent other citizen from voluntarily engaging in the same enterprise in connection with or independently of them.
 The following are requested to act as a committee in aid of united effort to procure favorable action from the Alaska legislature to establish the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines on the site granted by the act of congress of March 4, 1915:

 Again the revolving cycle of the seasons has brought the 4th day of July. the 139th anniversary of the birth of our nation Within that period our people have spread from Bunker Hill and Saratoga, from Trenton and Yorktown, to the dis tant shores of the Pacific and thence northward to the Arctic. Our ad- vancing civilization has kept pace with population and the spread of our national area. And we who are gathered here today do most solemn ly dedicate these grounds and this cornerstone to the everlasting sup port of the principles of free gov ernment free speech and free schools for which our forefathers fought.

NUT AND BOLT
WORKS HONORS
LONG SERVICE

The Michigan Bolt & Nut works
paid an unusual tribute the other
evening in recognizing so signally
competition of half-century Of ser
vice in the company's employ OF
Daniel Sullivan. Mr.. Sullivan was
named as the guest OF honor at the
banquet given by the company TO
it's foremen and heads OF depart
ments; but the effort 10 honor the
man went even further.
The annual dinner, which usually
is held In January. was put over un-
I'll mid. May in order to exactly mark
the completion OF Mr.. Sullivan's 90
years OF service a tasteful souye-
mir booklet OF the occasion, In ap-
propriate design, was prepared, and
i'm this Mr.. Sullivan's portrait occu-
pied the leading place. Edgar A.
Guest also contributed some verse
celebrating. in his usual style, Dan
Sullivan's art OF keeping young.
This recognition of Mr.. Sullivan
by the Michigan Bolt & Nut works
was considerably more than per
sonal. II was suggestive as well OF
the long business continuity of the
company. and IL suggests as vel
the complete harmony of purpose on
the part of all concerned. The sou
venir of the banquet also contained
excellent engravings OF the officers
of the company and view of the
company's plant as well. The Mich
igan Nut & Bolt works came into
existence in 1868. and its persistent
growth and prosperity is typical oil
