Alaskan Room Planned!
For Seattle Museum !
The new Seattle Museum of i
History and Industry is to have
an Alaskan Gallery, according to
Robert Gillespie, chairman, ac
cording to the Seaport Record.
A letter received by Walter
Sipprell, president of Seward
Chamber of Commerce, states,'
"A group of Seattle businessmen,
who are appreciative of the large \
part Alaska has played in the i
business life of our city (Seattle) I
recently decided that a Museum j
without full recognition of Alas
ka would be a good deal like a J
hearth "without a fire, and they |
are consequently getting together;
$45,000 for an addition to the
building now under construction,
to be known as the Alaskan Gal
lery.”
The City of Seattle has donated
a four-acre tract on Lake Wash
ington Boulevard to the Seattle
Historical Society upon which a
$300,000 structure is being erect
ed. and the Alaska-Yukon Com
mittee intends to make the Alas
kan Gallery an outstanding unit i
of this great civic project.
‘‘Here is where your organiza
tion (Chamber of Commerce) may
be helpful.” writes Mr. Gillespie.
“We want the Alaskan Gallery to
not only portray Alaskan history,
but to help visualize the great
future potentialities of the Em
pire of the North and to provide j
a source of complete, authentic!
information concerning the Ter
ritory to all visitors.”
The Committee feels that Se
attle business houses who have
profited through the years in the
Alaska trade will respond gener
ously, and it is not their inten
tion to ask for financial aid from
the Territory, but they do want
help in compiling data, gathering
exhibits, and suggestions as to
the best way to present Alaska to §
Seattle visitors, according to the *
story appearing in the Seward j
newspaper.

Seward Requests Kepnerji
For Waterfront Check
i'
The Seward Citv Council has I «
passed a Memorial submitted by!;
Clarence Keating, addressed to j |
Brig. Gen. Wm. E. Kepner, re-1:
questing that the Department of!;
Defense impose a security check j j
on all the workers at City Dock, j *
Army Dock, Standard Oil Co., and j s
any person having to do with I j
shipping, handling or storage of j 7
commodities passing over the :
docks. ! i
The memorial states that in the ]
absence of military protection in "
this, the only port of entry for s
civilian goods for the Interior, the «
responsibility for such security is.",
too great for local and municipal s
authorities. The Council feels1 «
that during the sometimes lengthy ;
periods of impossible flying «
weather, the port is entirely with- ;
out protection. Hence, they re- ;
quest this one point of assistance. ?
which is already being given at ;
other ports, according to the me- ,
morial. 5
