The weekly luncheon of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce held at the
Seward Grill today brought to light
many interesting facts relative to the
possibilities of an enormous return
on a small investment in a publicity
campaign for Seward and \icinit>.
After the meeting was called to or
der by President Whittlesey, the Sec
retary read requests for information
and data from tourists and persons de
sirous of locating at this point.
The Secretary stated the Chamber
had no suitable literature to forward j
to these persons, and what literature
the chamber possessed was not au
thentic and would not hear out inves
tigation. Facts gathered irom se\eial
authentic sources showed that irom
January 1 to August 31, ol this jeai,
transportation companies operating in
Alaska carried 20,089 passengers to
ports in the Territory. It is estimated
that of this number fully 15,000 were
tourists; in addition to this traffic
numerous other parties visiting the
North, probably bringing the total
number up to 25,000. In 1922 the num
ber of tourists was about 500. In
Canada authentic reports show as a
conservative figure, $100,000,000 re
ceived by Canada on tourist trade
alone. This amount shows that there
were only three items of export trade
which aggregated more than $100,000,
000, so that the export of scenery oc
cupies fourth place in Canada’s for
eign trade. On an investment of but
$222,325, spent by the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce during 1921122-23,
Seattle received from tourists over
$S,0u0.000, the direct result of this
pupblicity of the Pacific Northwest.
These figures were arrived at by a
very conservative estimate, figuring
the tourists spent two days each in
Seattle.
Kev. r r. .tioioviizKy, oi ise.i oiskj. a
guest of the Chamber, spoke of the
possibility of the Seward Chamber
featuring the “westward" in their lit
erature; o' the vasJ amount cf attrac
tive things and features of a trip to
the westward, especially featuring the
whaling industry and the active vol
canoes. aboriginal life and big game.
Rev. Hotovatzky informed the mem
bers of the chamber that he would se~,
cUTe pictures of the westward and
would also give the Chamber authen
tic information on the attractions and
undeveloped resources in that locality.
He was desirous of having the Starr
stop long enough at each point on the
westward run to give persons interest
ed to investigate local conditions.
Mr. Shirtloff, another guest of the
Chamber, also favored the body with
a few remarks.
Forest Ranger John G. Brady ex
plained and described the work of the
Forestry Department in the public
forests and also spoke of the wonder
ful scenic possibilities surrounding
Seward, of the Chugach trail, of the
trail about to be constructed to Lost
Lake, the features of Kenai Lake,
Hope-Sunrise trail, Moose Pass, and
other scenic features directly tributary
to Seward.
Mr. K. A. Dregor, superintendent of
the new fish hatchery at Grouse lake,
spoke of the tourist feature, and edu
cational possibilities of the new fish
hatchery. He explained that it was
the intention to make a trip through
the hatchery a tourist feature. Mr.
D:egor also furnished interesting de
tails in the operation of a hatchery;
how the eggs were spawned and when
direci results from their work could
be expected.
The time for these discussions hav
ing exceeded the noon hour, a motion
was made and seconded that other dis
cussions be postponed until a special
meeting of the chamber, to be called
before the arrival of the Alameda.
It was suggested that due to the
impracticability of many business men
getting away from their affairs during
the noon hour, another time, prefer
ably 6:00 p. m. be set, when every
body interest in Chamber work could
be present. This was carried over un
til the special meeting, some time this
week.

Congress should use the money to
be appropriated to keep Germany from
starving to pay the Kaiser for the
time lost in exile.
The sudden oppostion to women jur
ors must mean that they cannot be
dictated to by the lawyers or the
courts. The present court terms in
the First and Third divisions show
more convictions than for many years
previous.
FRANCE is willing for America to
enter into the reparations conference
provided she will promise not to do
anything.
Alaska can raise everything needed
in the shape of cereals and root crops
yet half a million dollars are sent to
the states annually for these products.
A trade at home campaign might be
extended to include the Territory.
A Pennsylvania Federal judge has
warned prohibition agents not tc
"break the law’” in their attempt to
stop the epidemic of bootlegging pre
vailing in that States. Apparently the
dry agents should first suppress the
judges before attempting to suppress
bootlegging.
Next wTeek is “Educational Week.”
It might be a good time to start a
campaign to induce territorial officials
to patronize American boats and help
build up American towms, instead ot
being so solicitous over Canadian
corporations.
A half ton of paper, baled Hat, and
as compact as it could be made, cost
the Gateway $13.50 freight and wharf
age this week. Had it been shipped
in rolls wre might have had to file a
petition in bankruptcy.
