VII.
Complainants would show that a
large majority of the citizens of Ma
rion County have protested against the
issuance of said $780, 600 bonds in the
manner and form provided by the act
Complainants believe that the number
Of commissioners named in the act is
excessive, and the safeguards in the
bill as to the manner and places where
the funds are to be spent are wholly
inadequate. A resolution introduced
into the County Court at the July
term, 1915. binding the commissioners
to disburse the funds and spend the
money on the roads as set out In the
bill, failed Of passage. A copy of same
is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" but
not for copy. And said commission
era are about to come into possession
OF said funds with the unrestrained
discretion set out in the bill.
The County Court met in special
session for the consideration of this
bill on the 7th day of June, 1915, when
a resolution was offered directing that
the issuance or no issuance of bonds
be referred to the people to ascertain
the wishes of the majority. When
this resolution was on the point of
passage, the members of the Court ad-
vocating bonds procured a. adjourn
ment until the regular July term, de-
clining to allow the people to express
their wishes thereon.
At the regular july term the issu-
ance of bonds was authorized.

June 7th Is filed herewith as Exhibit
&C." and the resolution of July 5th as
Exhibit "D", but not for copy.

Court on July 5th author izing a sale
OF bonds, the Respondent Pike Com
missioners took steps to sell said bond
issue, and have fixed the 28th day of
August. 1915, for said sale, and said
commissi will sell said bonds and

And the Respondent Charles T. Will

What privilege divine to thee is given,
Thou favored one among the feathered chOirs,
That only thou shouldst haunt the verge of heaven
And hear angelic Tyres!
Perchance thou dearest on thine eager wing
The offered incense of sweet earthly flowers
Or tale of human love and suffering,
From this poor world of ours.
Swift as an arrow from thy grassy nest
Thou TAX st thy flight to those blue realms on high

Song monarch of the sky!
No nightingale with his impassioned lay
Thy trackless territory may invade;
He needs must linger all the summer day
And sing in clustered shade.
Not een the eagle in his envious wrath
Can reach thy side the kingly sun alone
May wheel his golden chariot in thy path
And share thine azure zone!

VALDEZ PRAISES
 WORK CORDOVAN

George c. Hazelet, former mayor of Cordova, and at present the president of the Cordova Chamber of Commerce, is returning to Cordova on one of the next boats after spending the winter in Washington as the publicity agent of the railroad town. MT. Haze let did excellent work for his home city and incidentally for Alaska, en- tertaining the people of the East and the members of congress with stories of the north and describing to them the conditions that have existed in Alaska for the past ten years and pre- vented the development of the terri tory.
 MT. Hazelet urged upon the Inter for Department the selection of Cor dova as one of the coast terminals for the government railroad, claiming that considerable tonnage was already blocked out and ready and also insist ing that the coal from the Boring river section should be placed on the market, thus further adding to the tonnage of the road to Cordova-Val- deg Miner.

DILLON CHARGES
 LIGHTLY REGARDED

The efforts of the Alaska legislature to cause the removal of Commissioner John l.. Dillon from office for ignoring the territorial laws in the matter of recording fees, is not taken seriously in Fairbanks.
 The legislature, during it's first ses- sion, passed a law providing for the registration of vital statistics free of charge by Alaska commissioners and imposing heavy fines on physicians for failure to record births and deaths. Ministers officiating at marriages were held responsible for the certificates being placed on record.
 Commissioner Dillon ignored the Alaskan law and has been charging a fee of $1.25, with the result that few registrations have been entered. The doctors and ministers refused to pay the fee. The commissioner says he received no official notification from the department regarding the change.

 There's @ lot of music in 'em-the
 hymns of long ago; And when some gray-haired brother

 cast a wistful eye" There's lots of music in 'em-those
 dear, sweet hymns of old With visions bright of lands of light and shining streets of gold;' And hear 'em ringing. singing, where memsry dreaming stands; From Greenland's icy mountain to
 India's coral strands" They seem to sing forever of holier,
 sweeter days, When the lilies of the love of God
 bloomed white in all the ways; And want to hear their music from
 the old-tine meetings rise Till T can read my title clear to man.

 old days-we knew The words. the tunes of every one-the
 dear old hymn book through; We didn't have no trumpets then, no

 pass without a sign Too "Canaan's fair and happy land,
