MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FAVOR
ABLY DISPOSED, COLLEGE
PRESIDENT SAYS
The Act of Congress of March 4,
1915, granting to the Territory a site
for an Agricultural College and School
of Mines, reserved from sale or set
tlement for the college, section 33 in
each township in the Tanana Valley
between parallels 64 and 65 north lat
itude, and between the 145th and the
152nd degrees of west longitiude.
These sections were not granted to
the Territory for the ^ollege but were
simply resrevd from sale or settle
ment with the expectation that in
course of time, they would produce a
permanent fund of considerable size
to be invested by the Treasurer of
the Territory and the income thereof
paid to the Board of Trustees of the
College to be used for the maintain
ance of the College.
The Territorial Legislature has au
thorized the Board of Trustees to
lease this land but the terms of any
lease cannot run more than 10 years,
none of this land has been leased and
the chances are that no one desiring
to use the same for agricultural pur
poses will feel disposed to lease un
improved agricultural land for a 10
year period. With reference to such
portions of these sections as are min
eral, the Department of the Interior
takes the position that these areas
are open for exploration under the
laws of the United States and may be
disposed of as are other mineral lands
of the public domain, but the pro
ceeds of sale or lease wrould be cover
ed into hte permanent fund for they
would have no right to lease any min
eral lands in any section reserved
from sale or settlement by the Act of
March 4, 1915. In other words, the
reservation applies only to agricul
tural land. If valuable mineral land
is discovered and located in the areas
mentioned, the locator may proceed
with it just as he would with any oth
er mineral land on the public domain.
He can do his annual assessment
work each year and never pay any
thing that will be covered into the
fund for the College. If he patents
the area located, the amount paid for
the tract will become a part of the
fund. If the mineral land contains
coal or oil and is taken under lease
from the Government, the rentals col
lected will become a part of the per
mannt fund.
While in Washington, governor
Parks and President Bunnell, in Sew
ard this week, discussed this matter
with officials of the Department of
the Interior and were advised that
the Department would be opposed to
an Act reserving from sale or settle
ment each section 33 in every town
ship in the Territory. The opinion
was expressed that reserving from
sale or settlement only would proba
bly not be productive of any substan
tial toetiefits. It was also stated that
a specific grant was the method here-;
tofore used and hence the name “the
land-grant college’'.
It was also indicated that there
would be no opposition to granting to
the Territory for the College, 100,000
acres of land to be selected by the
Board of Trustees of the College and
by them sold and the amount received
covered into a permanent fund for the
College. The Board of Trustees is
The longer you deal with this old
established market of Carstens the

OPPOSITION TICKET' |
SMITH ENTER FIELD
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17, (/p)— !
!a ticket in opposition to the one j
which will support Governor Alfred
Smith, of New York, in the May Pres
idential primary elections, is to be
put into the field, it was announced
! by the “California Liberator” organ of
the anti-saloon league.
j not to be required to select one tract
to contain the entire amount but may
| select such tracts of agricultural land
I as it considers valuable, provided the
| total areas selected do not amount to
l more than 100,000 acres. Such a
!
, grant is of course no bar to a subse
quent grant. It is believed that this
: method will be productive or good re
^ suits.
I
j Since President Bunnell left Wash
ington, the delegate has introduced a
bill to the above effect and it is not
expected it will meet with any opposi
who are favorably disposed to the ef
forts made by the people of the Ter
i
ritory, ought not to object to a land
grant to the College and those who
] claim that the Territory has no agri
cultural possibilities ought to be will
ing to have at least this much land
made available for the College.
