EASTERN PAPER
Pins ONE OVER
ON SEWARD MEN
, (Pittsburgh Dispatch.)
Seward, Alaska, Feb. 26, 1919.
The regular meeting of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce was held on
Thursday evening with a large at
tendance, a majority of the seventeen
members being present.
The president being unavoidably
absent as a result of his recent con
viction for bootlegging, the vice-presi
dent occupied the chair.
The committee appointed to secure
the location of a dentist in Seward re
ported that it had been successful and
that a Doctor Blythe would arrive
within the next few days and that the
committee would arrange a dog race
or other appropriate entertainment in
honor of the event.
Dr. J. M. Sloan, chairman of the
commitee on the cemetery matter of
fered a report favoring the first bench
on Marathon mountain. This was
opposed by T. W. Hawkins who ad
mitted that the proposed site would
b© free from annual inundations and
washouts, thus removing the objec
tion of prospective occupants who
might be unreasonably prejudiced
against the indiscriminate scattering
of their remains over lower Resur
rection valley, but, as for himself he
wished to be planted on a site where
some ornamentation or suitable dec
oration would be possible, and such
marble or granite testimonial as
might be erected to perpetuate the
memory of his virtues would be free
from the constant menace and inevi
table ultimate destruction of all
things erected in that favorite path
way of spring thaws.
Dr. Sloan replied that his commit
tee had considered such- a conting
ency, but as it was a choice between
a good, substantial, lasting plant and
ono where the sacred bones of Sew
ard’s departed citizenry might be pro
faned by the mad caprices of Lowell
creek or Resurrection river, suet
dreams of transitory and ephermera
vanity had been dismissed as lacking
merit worthy of serious discussion
Besides he continued flat-lying atones
would obviate this difficulty for those
yeanling for post-mortem or posthu
mous celebrity and, moreover give a
sort of distinctiveness to the proposed
burying ground in keeping with Sew
ard's conceded progressiveness and
originality.
On motion of Doc Brownell the
matter was referred to the agricul
tural committee for further consid
eration.
Henry Thoday produced a New
York newspaper and read from it the
opinions of several eminent authori
ties to the effect that foreign embas
sies were exempt from the operation
of bone dry laws, and moved that the
chamber take steps to secure the lo
cation of an embassy in Seward or
vicinity.
Leo Margules strongly supported
the propositon and in proof of his
ambition to further all laudable pro
jects for the public welfare offered to
lease for the purpose at a nominal
rental the vacant barroom once justly
popular as the Northern saloon.
After considerable enthusiastic dis
cussion the chair referred the matter
for consideration to the committee on
civic improvements.
Proofs of the new literature to be
issued by the chamber, giving the
world accurate and dependable infor
mation on the resources and oppor
tunities of Alaska, were read and dis
cussed in detail. Many members fav
ored the elimination of various ref
ences to Valdez, Anchorage, and
Cordova as dub towns, dead ones,
malicious and envious villages and
other even more expressive terms, as
they felt that this would confer upon
those cities an undeserved distinction,
while several members were equally
sure that some strikingly compliment
tary reference to Seward, while en
tirely just and true, prospectively at
least, might be seized upon as sub
jects of malicious merriment by rivals
incapable of appreciating true merit.
Pinal orders for printing were de
ferred until like literature issued by
other important cites in the states
could be obtained and examined.
The meeting then ajourned without
disorder or other unpleasant incident.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
is issuing anothing edition of olders
describing mining oil, fishing and
other important data for prospective
, homeseekers.
TOWN TURNS OUT
FOR OLD SOURDOUGHBOY
When Lawrence Campbell, the
Quartz Creek (Yukon) sourdough,
came back from the front recently he
was welcomed by the whole camp.
Everyone on the creek was there and
forty people sat down to a big ban
quet. A dance In which the oldfash- *
ioned quadrilles and Virginia Reels
were danced kept up until 3 o’clock
in the morning. Campbell himself is
the camp fiddler and when he drew
the bow across the fiddle for the first
time for a number of yearB in that
cam pc amp the sourdoughs let out a
war whoop that almost raised the
rafters off the dance hall.
