thoroughly identified was he with all
the spiritual interests oil: the church

bid it rise again; therefore be it
Resolved, That IS the departure Of

Holy Spirit Himself viii come in and
OCCUPY the vacancy c:lnsed by this
our temporary loss And further
Resolved, That we deeply sympa-
thize with his devoted wife and other

The county competition is some
what changed this year. The north.

themselves, while a new classification
has been created for the southern coun-
ties. which are strong in fruits, espe-
cialy citrus. This evens the competi-
tion considerably and wiz tend to in
crease the rivalry in the VITO classes.
Handsome cash prizes are offered
and are accompanied by ribbon and
diploma awards. These awards, to-
gether with the widespread publicity
they receive are OF inestimabIe value
TO the competing counties.
The Florida State Fair is only three
years old, but its county section is
larger and better than most OF the
older state fairs OF the country. This
is fact of which every FIordian
should be proud.

ever he wants to get a patent for a mining claim, he has to do business with that office. Almost all the busi- ness we have today up there is done in connection with the bureaus down here in Washington, and we have to come down here enough as it is. Now, if I want to get survey for patent for a mining claim in Alaska I have to employ a deputy mineral surveyor. They are scarcer than hens teeth. I can find a surveyor or a civil engineer in Alaska, but he is not a deputy min eral surveyor. I can make an appli- cation to the surveyor general of Alaska and get him appointed, but un- der the terms of this bill I have got to come down here to Washington to have it done. He has to apply to the commissioner of the land office, and the commissioner does not know him or his character or qualifications. The surveyor general in Alaska knows ev- cry surveyor in the territory, and can pass on his qualifications. We can not do business in Alaska, 5000 away, with a surveyor generals office con- ducted here in Washington, especially in the winter time, when it takes from two to four months for mail to make the round trip. We must have a sur veyor general there on the ground Gap plause); especially since the passage of the oil-leasing bill it is necessary that that office be maintained. What we want in Alaska is more govern ment in Alaska and less in the bu- reaus in Washington. The forest re- serves are already administered here, the fish and game are regulated here; everything is reserved from entry ex cept mining and homestead land. If the office of the surveyor general is to be transferred to Washington, the governor of Alaska, the federal judges and court officials might as we'll be removed here, too, and there will no longer be any excuse for anybody liv ing up there.
 The surveyor general is ex officio secretary of the territory of Alaska. This bill continues the salary of $4OOO for the secretary of Alaska, but does not create such an office nor provide for filling it. A surveyor general is appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the senate: the bill contains no authority for the appointm of a secretary of the territory. The surveyor general of Alaska is also a member of the territorial canvassing board, which canvasses the returns of the elections for delegate for congress and the ter ritorial officers If you abolish the office of surveyor general you will leave us without a canvassing board; possibly the committee thought that inasmuch as Alaska elections are gen. orally decided here in congress, we do not need any Oaughter); but we do need a surveyor general, and need him on the ground (applause).

MAKES STRONG PLEA
 IN CONGRESS

The recent attempt to abolish the office of surveyor general in the Vest ern states and Alaska was frustrated by the united front opposed by the Western congressman to the proposal of the appropriations committed Spe- cial dispatches to the Seattle papers credited Delegate Grigsby of Alaska with having made a telling argument, which had much to do with the re- suit His remarks on that occasion, taken from the Congressional Record of February 27, were as follows:
 MT. Grigsby. MT. Chairman and gen. tlemen of the committee, I have lis tened with interest to the statements of the representative from the Vest ern states calling to the attention of the committee the number of millions of acres of unsurveyed land that they have in their respective states, and I must say that everything that they have said applies with great deal more force to the territory of Alaska, where we have over 300, 0,000,O00 acres of unsurveyed lands, and the most important office that we have in that territory, the office that is of most as sistance to the people as homestead CTS or miners seeking patents, is the office of the surveyor general.
 MT. Wood of Indiana Is the gentle man aware of the fact that if this pro- vision is adopted it will not take single bit of the machinery away from Alaska or one of these states, so far as the surveys are concerned?
 MT. Grigsby I understand from the machinery and all the clerical force will be removed.
 chinery for the surveys now provided will remain there as long as there is any seeming necessity for it.
 Mr. Mays Why should the gentle man from Indiana treat Alaska that way and not treat other states in that way? If there is surveying needed, why not leave the surveyors there
 MT. Wood of Indiana. It will not change the surveying in single state.
 Mr. Grigsby Is there any difference in that regard between Alaska and the states?
 MT. Wood of Indiana. No. The surveyor shall remain the secretary of the territory.
 Mr. Grigsby. The provisions of the bill are that the entire clerical force shall be removed to Washington, and all the plats and records shall be re- moved from the offices.
 MT. Wood of Indiana. That is in the discretion of the secretary of the interior.
 MT. Grigsby. I understand that the bill is mandatory in that respect. I did not hear that question raised when any other gentleman was talk ing.
 1 have had an office across the hall from the surveyor general of Alaska for two years, and his is the busiest office conducted in Alaska.
 We have over 5OO,OOO square miles of unsurveyed lands. The business is conducted with that office. Whenever man wants to get homestead, when
