Chamber Holds Interesting Meet
Continued from Page 1
| ber 4 and 5 and would tele- j
graph such endorsement to
the Wallace chamber.
Correspondence read included a
letter from Delegate Wieliersham rel
ative to the Salmon River flood irn-j
provement. The gist of which was
published last week. A Chamber of j
Commerce letter to the Forestry De
j partment regarding its recent demand j
I that owners of mining proi>erties in .
the Crest-Hobo area contribute 25 :
per cent toward the construction of a !
trail to those and other properties, j
; pointed out to the department that |
| the owners are devoting all tlieir,
1 available resources to the develop- |
j inent of tlieir ground; are asking for
I government construction of the trail
to assist them in continuing develop
ment of this promsing mineral sec-1
tion, and reel that they are unable '
to meet the department’s demand fori
25 per cent cooperation.
"We think.” the communication
said, “that for the benefit of the
country the government would he
only too glad to assist the prospect
ors by opening up this trail. Can you
not see your way clear to put this i
trail on the Bureau's program next
spring without this stipulation?”
A letter from- M. D. Williams, dia-;
trict engineer for the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads, regarding work for the un
employed said insofar as he was i
able to see at present there is no,
work the Bureau can do in this vicin
ity at this season of the year hut
that he would discuss the possibility 1
of further improvements on the I
| Moose Park road with the forest
service officials and. if possible, ami
I in their opinion desirable, the roads
bureau may be able to make a small I
expenditure at that point. Otherwise,
beyond usual winter maintenance and 1
snow removal there would be little !
tlie bureau could offer. Mr. Williams
said the same unemployment condit
ion exists in all southeastern Alaska 1
towns. The bureau has received sim
ilar requests from some of these and
would do all it could to relieve the
labor situation.
j In reply to a protest of the local
! Chamber, a letter from the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce expressed re
gret that Hyder was omitted from
I a list of Alaska communities pub
Hyder
Chamber of Commerce
Incorporated
Regular Meeting First
Tuesday of the Month
lished recently by that organization
ind promised to Include this camp
if. a new issue to come out soon after
he close of the year.
Replying to the Chamber regarding
local unemployment relief work, gov
ernor George A. Parks said Mujor
Malcolm Elliott is now in Washington
ind will present a request for funds
:o carry on winter work on several
Alaska projects. This is in keeping
with the policy to provide as mltch
work on government projects as may i
be justified by the funds available.
“We expect to do all that we can '
to obtain the additional funds and 1
shall be glad to advise you of the
progress that is made by Mayor El
liott,” the governor said.
Mr. Haddon also read an inspiring
letter to the Chamber from Ernest
Walker Sawyer, of the department of
the interior, relative to Alaska af
fairs. The missive deals with many
important Territorial matters, Being
loo important to summarize and too
long to publish entire in this issue
nf the Herald, it will be presented
in full next. week.
Mr. Sandford spoke on the absence
at civic government in Hyder and
suggested the necessity for the Cham
ber of Commerce undertaking some
uf the functions of a town council
in such matters as the maintenance ,
uf ^sidewalks, street lights and other j
public conveniences. Funds for such ;
purposes, the speaker said, might he
raised by means of small monthly
contributions by residents, or by the I
holding of entertainments and the i
required work could be done under j
the direction of a competent commit- |
tee under the supervision of the j
Chamber officials. Mr. Sandford said t
there is imperative need for activites ;
of such character, as some side walks I
are budly in need of repairs, if not I
actually dangerous to pedestrians, |
and especially children. Mr. B. B. j
Smith suggested that all work could i
be done by volunteer labor, leaving j
only the cost ot materials to be sup
plied.
It was the view of the Chamber
that the board of .trustees should
prepare specific plans for carrying
out the proposal and present them
at a*later meeting.
W. R. Tooth and W. J. Crawford,
prominent Stewart resdents, respond
ed to Invitations to address the meet
ing. Mr. Tooth delivered an interest
ing talk on the difficulties encount
ered by Alaska residents in securing
assistance for public projects under
the present system of “long range”
government, while Mr. Crawford
paid a splendid trltfute to the Cham
ber and its activities in behalf of
community advancement.
At the conclusion of the session,
the chairman requested the town's
most accomplished speaker. Mr. Er
nest Blue, to repeat at the next
meeting of the Chamber an address
made by him at the last meeing of
the Stewart Board of Trade on the
history and development of the
world's monetary system. The ad
dress was characterized by the chair
as "the most complete comprehensive j
and erudite address on the subject ot j
finance over heard in the district."]
Mr. Blue acquiesced and the address '
will therefore lie ail attractive feature 1
of the January dinner meeting.
