This declaration was made while Judge Bunnell was in Ju- neau this week returning to Fair- banks from Washington, D. C. Referring to the nature of the grant and its requirements, Judge Bunnell said: “The Board of Trustees is not to be required to select one tract to contain the entire amount, but @ble ‘mineral may select such tracte of agri- cultural land as it considers valu- able, provided the total areas se- lected do not amount to more than 100,000 acres. Such a grant is, of course, no bar to a subse- quent grant. It is believed this method will be productive of good results.” Since President Bunnell left Washington, Delegate Sutherland has introduced a bill to the above effect and it is not expected 1 will meet with any opposition. Those members of Congress who are favorably disposed to the of- fofts being made by the people of the Territory, ought not to ob- ject to a land-grant to the College and those who claim that the Territory has no agricultural pos- gibilities ought to be willing to) have at least this muech land made available for the College. Action Begun Action on this matter was be- gun’ following a discussfon! tween Judge Bunneil: and Gov ner George A. Parks and offl- ‘cials of the Department of the Interior. An act of Congress of March 4, 1915, granted to the Territory a site for an Agricultural College and School of Mines, reserved from sale or settiement for the ‘college, to be established in sec- tion thirty-three in each township in the Tanana Valley between par- |allels sixty-four and sixtydive s About GS ACCOUNTS | mineral lands in ‘Light Presbyterian Church, of sale or lease would be covered into the permanent fund for the College. Under this holding, the Board of Trustees of the College would have no right to lease any any section re- served from sale or settlement by the Act of March 4, 1915. In oth er words, the reservation appliss only to agricultural land. If valu- land is discovered and located in the areas mention ed, the locator may procedd with it just as he would with any other mineral land on the public do main. ) He can' do his annual assess- ment work each year and never pay anything that will be covered into the fund for the College. if he patents the area located, the amount paid for the tract whl be- come a part of the fund.
