Pens used by the presidents to
sign papers of historis importance
are sometimes set aside to be
come museum pieces after use on
a single occasion. And there
have even been times when an
Act or order of bi-sectional im
portance has been approved when
part of the signature has been
written with one pen and then
completed with another, so each
sonor would be able to have one
of the instruments used in writ
ing that page in its developing of
history.
However, Alaska has been re
presented in the official commen
cement of construction or the
completion of various projects
for over a quarter of a century
through the use of .a golden tele
graph key with which the Presi
dent has closed the circuit to start
the first movement or otherwise
open an event.
The anama Canal—the Cascade
tunnel'—Boulder Dam—the great
twin bridges that span San Fran
cisco Bay, are only a few of the!
great projects that were opened
| with approriate ceremonies cen
tered on the climaxing touch of
1 the President on this telegraph !
key. It was also used to light the
lamps on the opening night of
the Panama acific Exposition in
San Francisco in 1915 and also
played its part in other world I
fairs held since then.
The key is made of solid gold
from Alaska and is mounted on
a base of Alaska marble and is
set with 22 gold nuggets, said to
be from the first cleanup of Geo- j
rge Carmack when he made his;
discovery of the Klondike. It
