The resolution* passed by the Seward
Chamber of Commerce regarding the
trouble bit ween Governor Hjggat:
and Delegate Waskey are as follows:
"Whereas, the president having re
quested letters from Delegate Wastel
and Governor Hoggatt of Alaska con
cerning their views of Alaska affairs
and in a letter to the president the j
governor having stated 'that territor- 1
ial government has no support among
substantial citizens of the territory and
such is advo.'atetl only by the saloon
?iement and demagogues who live by
agitation' and on the other hand
our congre<s.ona. delegate having
>tated in his communication to the
president 'that ot 4in.K>1 white Ameri
cans in Alaska nearly the entire white
population demanded territorial gov
ernment, and'
"Whereas, i as cui -'ns of Alaska,
residing therein. we believe that Alas
ka :s fully ahle and capable of making
her own laws. we as* en more of cougress
than to be allowed to attend to our
our own business: that the same tight
to indepeuden ? ? of which self-govern
ment is a part, bs accorded us as was
demanded by our lorefathers of
Knglanci? to sec ire which 'hey p'edged
their lives, fortunes acd sacred honor.
Now, therefore :>* it
"Resolved. That :he Chamber of
Commerce does herebv approve
and indorse th9 views expressed
by Alaska's delegate to congress
relating to territorial government and
disapprove deny and contradict the
statements expressed by its governor."'

WILL COME
Tourist Travel oh Co^t to
Be Large
r- . .
C. D. Dunann, general passenger
agent of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, thinks there will b3 a large
tourist travel to the Pacific coast this
year. He expects the Alaska business
to be larger than last year.
Speaking of the coming season to a
Seattle newspaper man, Mr. Dunann
said:
?'I believe that the earthquakes in Ja
maica and in other parts of the world
will have a telling result on the tourist
trauel to California this summer. After
the ban Francisco disaster. California [
was doomed as in the earthquake belt,
but now that the whole world seems to i
have been shaken, the majority of the :
people who travel have forgotten all !
about the San Francisco earthquake
and will head for the Pacific Coast on !
their pleasure trips."
While in the Hast receutly Dunann 1
learned that there had been a very bad i
winter in florida and was informed by ;
the several tourist bureaus that the ?
'?woLmgs for California and Puget j
Sound were heavy at this time. Nearly
all of those coming West will try to j
make the Alaska trip.
TO CHANG1
City of Topeka Will Sac
cepd Kimona
Word has been received from Seattle ,
that the City of Topeka will succeed |
the Ramona on the Skagway run. The.
Uamona is now making her last trip.
The City of Topeka has been opera'.- j
ing between San Francisco and Eureka, j
California. The Uamona will go to
Sac Francisco at once upon her return >
to relieve the City of Topeka.
