Sir,—I herewith transmit to you resolves relating to the North American and European Railroad, passed at the present session of our legislature, and I would solicit your attention to the same. Respectfully, Your obedient servant, JOHN HUBBARD. His Excellency, the Governor of Massachusetts, Boston. RESOLVES In support of the memorial to Congress asking assistance from the United States Government in behalf of the European and North American Railway. Resolved, That the commercial position of Maine authorizes her to aim at a leading share in all the great business move- ments of the age. While Maine is the natural sea-coast for the Canadas, and of the larger part of New England, having the finest harbors of the whole country, she is in the direct route of the principal commerce between Europe and America, and the bringing together of two great lines which connect us with Canada and the whole of the United States to a point of junction in Maine, one from Montreal on the north, and the other from New York on the south, when they shall form one grand trunk line, to be extended from the valley of the Ken- nebec to the eastern shore of Nova Scotia, is the work that shall make Maine known and felt as a leading State in the confederacy. 1862.] HOUSE—No. 158. 3 Resolved, That while the movements toward carrying out the plan of the European and North American Railway have aroused the British Ministry to the adoption of measures calcu- lated to counteract the exertions in its behalf, by the proffers of assistance toward building the Halifax and Quebec Railway entirely through British territory, it is a source of sincere gratification to know that the provinces will not forego the. advantages of the European and North American Railway for the sake of the Quebec line, and that there is now every encouragement to prosecute exertions in behalf* of the enter- prise we have in view, in the assurance that the line will be met by the provinces at the river St. Croix. Resolved , That a trunk line of railway from Halifax to Montreal, through Maine, in connection with the lines now built or in process of construction, is the only measure that can offer proper inducements for the employment of capital, or that can satisfy the wants of the people of the provinces. Over such a route the traffic and travel of Canada and the West would find its easiest outlet, and the increasing tide of trans- atlantic travel, seeking the shortest possible sea voyage, would give it advantages, insuring cheaper conveyance than over any other route between the commercial capitals of Europe and America. Resolved, That the application made to the United States government in behalf of the European and North American Railway, through the executive committee for Maine, deserves support from Congress, and the passage of the bills presented by honorable Mr. Washburn, one entitled “An act, making a grant of land to the State of Maine, to aid the construction of the European and North American Railway,” the other entitled “An act for shortening the transit of the mails between New York and London,” are earnestly pressed upon the considera- tion of Congress. Resolved, That our senators and representatives in Congress are requested to urge the passage of the hills before referred to, and that they ask such other assistance to the European and North American Railway as it may be in the power of Con- gress to grant. 4 N. A. AND EUROPEAN RAILROAD. [April, Resolved, That the interest of Massachusetts in this question, and the extent of her interest in public lands lying in Maine, justifies us in asking at the hands of that Commonwealth similar support, and that the legislature of Massachusetts is hereby invited to unite with us in the foregoing request. Resolved, That the governor be requested to transmit these resolves to the President of the United States, and to each house of Congress, and to the Governor of Massachusetts. Resolved, That the governor be requested to transmit copies of the foregoing resolves to each of the senators and represen- tatives of this State in the Congress of the United States. In the House of Representatives, March 25, 1852. Read and passed. G. P. SEWALL, Speaker. In Senate, March 26, 1852. Read and passed. NOAH PRINCE. President. March 27, 1852, Approved. JOHN HUBBARD. Secretary’s Office, Augusta, April Ist, 1852. I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true copy of the original deposited in this office. JOHN G. SAWYER, Secretary of State. 1852.] HOUSE—No. 158. 5 State of New Hampshire. Executive Department, Concord, Jan. 1, 1852. 5 Sir,—In obedience to a resolution of the legislature of New Hampshire, passed at its last session, I would invite the attention of your excellency and of the legislature of Mas- sachusetts to the obstructions created in the Connecticut and Merrimack rivers, within the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, which prevent the free passage up and down said rivers, of salmon, shad, and other lish. These obstructions, it is believed, have deprived the people of this State of valuable rights, and I would respectfully ask that the subject may receive that consideration from the author- ities of Massachusetts, which is due to the importance of the questions involved in the inquiry, and to the just claims of all concerned. I have the honor to be With great respect, Your obedient servant, SAMUEL DINSMOOR. To His Excellency, George S. Boutvvell, Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 6 ALABAMA RESOLUTIONS. [April. JOINT RESOLUTIONS, Presented by Mr. Phillips, of Mobile, to the House of Rep- resentatives, in reference to the construction of a Ship Canal across tlie Peninsula of Florida. Be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Alabama in General Assembly convened , That the interest of the States bordering on the Gulf of Mexico, as also of those whose products find a market through this chan- nel, is deeply involved in the enquiry, whether the expense, delay, and danger which now burthen the commerce of the Gulf in the navigation of the Cape of Florida, may not be avoided in the construction of a ship-canal across that State. Resolved, That such a work would strengthen the military defences of the country, lessen the political importance now attached to the possession of the island of Cuba, and promote the agricultural and commercial interests of a large portion of the confederacy. Resolved, That our representatives be requested to urge this subject upon the attention of the present Congress; and if such information be not now possessed as to the practicabil- ity of the work as to justify Congress, with the consent of the State of Florida, in at once undertaking it, then to adopt means, by survey or otherwise, to procure the fullest knowl- edge upon the subject. Resolved, That the Governor of the State be requested to furnish copies of these resolutions to each of our senators each of the and representatives in Congress ; and also to gov- ernors of the several States of the Union, with the request 1852.] HOUSE—No. 158. 7 that they’may be laid before their respective State legislatures at as early a period as 'practicable. Approved February 6, 1852. H. W. COLLIER. JOHN D. RATHER, Speaker of the House of Representatives. CHARLES McLEMORE, President of the Senate. Executive Chamber, Montgomery, February 6, 1852. ) Sir,—I have the pleasure of transmitting you, joint resolu- tions of the legislature of Alabama, “ in reference to the con- struction of a Ship-Canal across the Peninsula of Florida,” and most respectfully inviting your cooperation in the pro- motion of this interesting and important object. With sentiments of respect, I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, H. W. COLLIER. 8 SLAVE TRADE. [April, State of Indiana. In the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty-Two. A JOINT RESOLUTION On the subject of the Slave Trade, and for the purpose of Colonization. Whereas, Considerations of philanthropy and patriotism alike demand an earnest effort to suppress , the African slave trade, so long a reproach to the Christian world, and a base outrage upon an unfortunate race of our fellow-men; And whereas, the praiseworthy efforts heretofore employed for that purpose have proved ineffectual; Therefore, Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That it is the judgment of said General Assembly that some other and more efficient policy should be adopted on that subject.

The 1918 Championship was held in Annapolis, where Navy won on the home waters of the Severn. The following year, Navy recorded an undefeated sea- son en route to the championship in 1919.

    JACKSON COUNTY, KANSAS IN THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 1898-1899 Compiled by Dan Fenton 2012 1 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION: . 4 CHAPTER I: COMPANY D, 22nd KANSAS VOLUNTEER INFANTRY . .. 6 Roster of Company D, 22nd Kansas Volunteer Infantry. 8 CHAPTER II: OTHERS WHO SERVED: . 30 INDEX. 41 3 INTRODUCTION Sugar has been grown in Cuba since the 1500’s and it was one of the legs of a triangular slave trade between Africa, the Caribbean, and England or the United States. Slaves from Africa were brought to Cuba to work on the sugar plantations, the sugar or rum distilled from the sugar, was then exported to England or the United States, and from these places manufactured goods were sent to Africa in exchange for the slaves, who were shipped back to Cuba to work on the plantations. For four hundred years Cuba’s sugar trade flourished, and by the mid 1800’s, the United States was importing 80 percent of Cuba’s sugar production. Up until October 19, 1960 when the U. S. placed a trade embargo on Cuba, the island remained a strong trading partner of the United States, sugar and rum being Cuba’s largest exports to the States. The United States took a great interest in Cuba for business reasons, and at various times offered to buy the island from Spain. Over the years, Cuban rebels had fought Spain to gain independence for the island, and for the three years preceding 1898, the fighting was intense. Because of this unrest and the United States economic interests in Cuba, the U.S.

Mills Governor of Maine 100 State House Station Augusta, ME 04333 RE: Letter of Opposition to LD 1569, Committee Amendment “A” Creating a Water Resources Commission to Study Maine’s Water Supply Dear Governor Mills: Last month, the Maine Water Utilities Association provided testimony in strong opposition to LD 1569 before the Legislature’s Joint Standing Committee on Taxation, which bill would have imposed a tax on water extraction. The Department of Economic and Community Development also opposed LD 1569. Late in May, the Committee voted out the bill on a divided basis with 5 members voting ONTP, and 8 members voting OTPA for Committee Amendment “A,” which report converts the bill into a Resolve that would form a 16-member “Commission to Study Water as a Resource in Maine” with a report-back date of March 15, 2022. The final language of this study was officially reported out of Committee two days ago, on June 15. We write today to let you know that we strongly oppose Committee Amendment “A” of LD 1569. We further note that the bill has a General Fund Fiscal Note of $20,000 to implement the study. About MWUA.

  • On the Guemes Island Ferry, That Fall I Went Back to AHS in the Spring and Took a PG Course in Business Math and Typing
    Lt William L. Maris, USN. (Ret) After graduating from HS in June 1938 and while still working part time as a “Deckhand” on the Guemes Island Ferry, that fall I went back to AHS in the spring and took a PG course in Business Math and typing. My Father and my Boss, decided it was time for me to get a real job (my Boss who had been a Chief Boatswain Mate in the Navy in WW-1), so off we went to the Navy Recruiting Office in Bellingham, WA. The Chief Petty Officer in Charge, asked Dad why he wanted me to join the Navy and Dad told the Chief there was no work in Anacortes and he was tired of feeding me so please sign me up! I was 20 years old the October 16th, 1939 and required my Fathers signature to Enlist. After getting the paper work done, four months on the waiting list, after we finally got a proper Birth Certificate with a “Gold Seal”, The Chief wouldn’t accept the Birth Certificates the State Statistics Office kept sending without the Seal on it. I ended up being 26 on the waiting list in the 13th Naval District. Around the first of December I received correspondence from the Naval Recruiting Office Seattle that I had been accepted and to report in to the Recruiting Office in the Federal Building in Seattle on 10 December 1939. After reporting in they logged me in and gave me a Voucher and sent me to the YMCA for dinner and berthing for the night and to report back to the Recruiting Officer at 0800 the next day.
