there have been several additions to the
equipment during the past eight years.
there is still pressing need Of more
room, more funds toward the endow-
ment and money to meet current and
incidental expenses promptly.
The influence of Wilberforce on the
mental, social and moral welfare of
the colored race not only Of Ohio. but
Of the whole country is we'll nigh in,
calculable. Ten thousand students
have received training at Wilberforce.
Five hundred teachers have gone forth
into every state and into all lands to
uplift the race, many are teachers in
and presidents of other colleges. some
are professional men and hundreds are
splendid mechanics, due to industrial
training at Wilberforce.
The buildings grouped around the
college campus are artistic and mas
sive and commemorate by name the
noble members of the race who have
contributed so much to the upbuilding
Of Wilberf0rce-Shorter hall, Mitchell
hall, Arnett hall and others-and in
1900 the fine trades building was com.
pleted and named Galloway hall in
honor Of DR.. William A. Galloway of
Xenia, who has served as trustee sew,
enteen years and to whom perhaps
Wilberforce university owes more than
to any other white citizen of the state.
Above the ornate entrance Of Gallo,
way hall, chiseled in the enduring rock,
is this splendid sentiment, "A Sound
Body, Trained Hand, Trained Mind,
a True Heart"
President Scarborough has received
much encouragement from both white
and colored people in his conduct of the
abled him to great work for the in.
stitution. In reply to letter from DR..
Scarborough DIR. Susanna w. Dodds
writes: II thank you for your letter
and also the circular. My sympathies
have always been enlisted for WILDER
force and its prosperity. This for two
reasons. In the first place. the cause
which It represents is most deserving
one. The sooner we can Obliterate the
race prejudice which exists In this
country the better it will be for all
concerned, and there Is no way In
which this can be so successfully done
as by education, just such as WILDER
force is giving.
Another reason for my warm attach
ment for Wilberforce is that for many
years those who were instrumental III
calling 1t into existence were good
friends of mine; they mad the cause at
heart and worked faithfully for it."
DR.. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of the
Hampton Va.) institute, In letter to
DR.. Scarborough also speaks highly of
the work. He says: 'Wilberforce has
had a long and honorable record and

skagway is fortunate during this cold spell In having an adequate and never failing water supply under hizb pressure and a well equipped well organized fire department ready Co respond to a call at a moments notice. Thus far We have been mora fortunate than number of other Alaskan cities in that We have had no fires recently to occasion a call, which speaks well for the care eN- srcfsed by the people of the com munlty in locking after their stoves and furnaces
 Great care is Of course needed' but with her network oC watermatas reaching every part Of the town' and with the Dewey lakes always on tap, Skagway has less reason to lay awake nights and worry about the possibilities of fire damage than has any other northern city.

OTPUT OF FAIRBANKS
 LARGEST IN THREE YEARS

While many people of the Fair banks district and the Panama val ley expected that the output for season Of 1915 would be larger than the output for 1914. but few thought it would be larger than that of 1913. Yet figures pre- pared by the First National Bank and me American Bank of Alaska show the total precious metal out pu. Of the Panama valley to be larger than that of either Of rae two previous seasons.
 In 1913 the records of the Wells Fargo company showed that s3,6G0S99.O3 had been handled through the Fairbanks office. Last year tbe total shipments of the Wells Fargo office amounted to S3.I05,O72,24. In the year 1913 8 number of large shipments from the Ruby office handled through the Fairbanks office os the Wells Fargo Company and were included in the output of the Panama valley. This year the total output of the Panama valley, not including any shipments from Ruby, is estimated at $3,6Il,000, or only S29,0oO less than sbowu by the books of 1913, which included big shipments from the Yukon river camp.
 The figures given in the estimate above may be taken as authentic, as they were prepared under the dt- rectior Of George Hutchinson, cash fer Of the First National Bank, with the assistance of the officers of the American Bank of Alaska, and with suggestions from the agent of the Wells Fargo Express Company. -Fai7bauks Times.
