The local Chamber of Commerce
held its weekly luncheon today, at
the Seward Grill, with a good attend
ance. Among other matters brought
up were the questions of the Chamber
taking a page advertisement in the
R. L. Polk Directory. It was decided
to postpone the matter until next
Tuesday, when it would be again brot
up for consideration.
Special trains, the tourist traffic and
a large hotel for the acocmmodation
of tourists only, were discussed by
the members. Considerable discus
sion also ensued over the unreliable
publicity being given the Alaskan

it was the general sentiment of the

militate against the success of the
government enterprise.
