Murray Makes Presentation
Representative Murray, a close
personal friend for many years of
Mr. Wilcox, made the presentation
in the House late yesterday after
noon. "I have been instructed by
my colleagues to express our ap
preciation to you for the way in
which you have presided over us
I his session, Mr. Speaker/' lie said
in opening. "Vou have made your
rulings with utmost impartiality,
fairness and justly. Wo are at this
time in better shape than any Al
aska Legislature was at the same
period of its session. I want to
point out that it has not been
necessary to appoint a single con
ference committee. We have had
no disagreement to settle by that
method. 1 doubt if that has ever
happened before In any other Ter
litory or State in a legislative as
stonily of this size during a 60-dav
session, and 1 know it lias nevei
been the case before in Alaska.
"To you, Mr. Speaker, largely lie-1
longs the credit for this striking
achievment. It was made possible
by I lie fairness of your decisions. |
And the fact that this House has|
been able to dispose of all its;
business expeditiously is due to the;
efficiency of tlie Speaker.
"Before wc go, this House lias
instructed me to deliver to you
as a slight token of its friend j
ship, esteem and appreciation, thisj
present," he concluded.
Is Harmonious Session.
Responding briefly and express
: ing liis thanks for the gift and the
friendship that prompted it. Speak
er Wilcox said he had heard it said
by persons attending many former
sessions as well as the present one
that this was the most harmonious
I in history "This harmony has been
largely due to the sincere desire of
I tlie members to accomplish some
I thing for the Territory and to a
I willingness to show consideration
for others, not to myself as Mr.
Murray has said,” lie marked.
"We have had slight differences
which is well, as it is through such
differences that progress is mi de.
None of them led to animosity.
And at the end of the session I
know all of us can call one another
'friends. ' I cun best express my ap
preciation for your assistance, kind
ness and consideration during the
term and for your beautiful gift
in the simplewords. I thank you.'”
Presentation Ayer.
The presentation of the Senate
gift to President Ayer was made
during the evening session, shortly
before adjournment.
"We assure you there is not ii|
man here who does not feel that,
you have presided over this body
during the session with entire im
partiality, entire fairness and en
tire wisdom," said Senator Dimond,
who made the presentation talk.
“In the performance of all yotirj
duties you have thought of us first.]
our desires and even our vanities, |
and have thought of yourself not
at all.
"Mr. President, is it difficult to,
keep u personal note of sentiment
out of this. It is the last session
in which you expect to appear. It
is the last time you expect to be iitj
Alaska. We treasure deeply and
will cherish the memory of our|
friendship and we trust this slight
token will bring to your mind!
pleasant memories of your friend-,
ships in Alaska and that in the city j
you may choose tor your residence

many Legislatures have. I am

"I am leaving Alaska and I have
found in my leaving my love for
this Territory is far greater than
l had ever dreamed and now that I

mitlees appointed to present to the
Legislature the case against any;
raise in taxation and to present the]
objections of the Chamber to the I
proposed legislation exempting fish
ing vessels and fishing gear from
[execution reported, the former com-]
I mittee through Allen Shattuek.]
I chairman, and the latter through j
[ W. G. Johnson, chairman. In both]
[cases it was reported that the uc-j
tion of the Legislature was sat
] isfactory, taxes had not been raised
and the exemption bill was defeat
ed. The committees were discharged
with the thanks of the Chamber.
W. K. Keller Talks.
W. K. Keller, being called upon,
[told the commttee about the suc
Icessful school meet at Ketchikan.,
] Juneau went down to win the grand j
trophy, be said, and lie had received
]a telegram from M. I-. Merritt of i
the Juneau School Board saying
that he was bringing the trophy
to Juneau.
Mr. Keller said the meet had
been successful in till respects. He
said there had been only one pro
test. and that was as to the type
writing contest, and that had been
decided in favor of Juneau, affirm
ing the original decision of the
judges of the contest. Except in a
few instances, Mr. Keller said, not
ably in the orchestra contest where
Juneau was easily the superior, the
representatives of the two schools
were very evenly matched, and, he
said, the best teams won.
Mr. Keller said the meet and the
conduct of the Juneau contesants
on the trip was a justification of i
the extra-curriculum work in the
public schools.
May Change Character of Meet.
Mr. Keller said that tentative
plans were in process of develop- ,
meat to have a series of meets next
year between contestants represent
ing the various divisions instead of
