CHAMBER HOLDS ]
INTERESTLN meet
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
met in regular session today at noon,
and much important business was
discussed. Several new members
were present and were highly elated
over the nature and outcome of howT
business is readily transferred into
instantaneous action and develop
ment.
A couple vistors also attended:
Dr. Tyler, who is filling the vacan
cy during the absence of Dr. Rob
erts, and a Mr. Boyer. Both men
gave appropriate speeches and laud
ed the members for their arduous
efforts in advancing the many resour
ces, not only for Steward alone, but
for the entire Territory. v
One of the main issues brought be
fore the chamber, and which has
been discussed more or less in past
meetings, was the desire of having
one of the coast guard cutters sta
tioned at this port. That Seward is
a most logical place for at least one
of the cutters is being emphatically
pointed out to the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce which is working dili
gently in connection with the above
issue. Another item in connection
with coast guard cutters is that of a
bill being fostered for the construc
tion of ten cutters to be used in Al
aska waters for patrol duty, both in
connection with the fishing industry
and the enforcement of the prohibi
tion. The bill is being introduced in
Congress by the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Commission.
A Seattle firm of printers is send
ing out literature and booklets, and
in so doing points out a book they
published for the City of Seattle,, en
titled: “Seattle—Her Faults, Her
Virtues.” The printing company
is endeavoring to secure the local
chambers consent in bringing some
scheme about to attract tourists, not |
only to the Northwest but, to Alaska '
as wrell.
Many inquiries were read by the
Secretary from people scattered
about the four corners of the United
States. From Valentine, Kas., comes
a letter asking for information of
working conditions in Alaska, wages
etc. From Greenwood, Ark., a Miss
writes requesting the local chamber
to send her all information pertain
ing to this district as she has heard
the “Call of the North,” and its pos
sibilities.
A letter from Blackfoot, Idaho,
asks the following;
“I would very much appreciate in
formation regarding Seward.
“What is the present population?
“Is it an agricultural or mining
district?
What are the business and profes
sional opportunities?
“Are there any churches in the
town? What denominations?
“Is the climate healthful?
“Is there a doctor and dentist in
town?
“What are the highest and lowest
recorded temperatures?
“Is there good schools in the town?
What months does it run?
“Please quot living expenses.”
Many letters were also received by
people who have been informed, of
the general resources and possibili
ties of this district as told in the
recent Prosperity Edition of the Sew
ard Daily Gateway. That the Edition
is serving the community conducive
ly is showm in the letters by those
who have received same by request.
At today’s meeting, a bill against
the Chamber by the Seward Gate
way was aprpoved and ordered paid
by the Secretary'.
In order of new business, the Sew
ard Chamber drew' up a resolution
to be forwarded to the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce endorsing the pro
posed coast guard cutter to be sta
tioned at Seward. The letter will be
forwrarded south on the first steam
er and action will be taken immedi
ately by the Queen City.
The next meeting of the Chamber
will be held next Tuesday noon at
the Sew'ard Grill.
This winter weather has been un
reasonably erratic. Congress ought
to appoint an investigating commit
tee, or at least pass a resolution
about it.

morrow on a twenty-day pilgrimage
to sell Maine to the South.

York en route. The trip is being
made in conjunction with the general

which the state has been working

SANTA TO DECIDE ON TOYS
FOR NEXT CHRISTMAS FAIR
NEJW YORK, Feb. 9. (/P)—T h e
playthings which Santa Claus will
leave on his visit next Christmas
will be decided upon at the annual
Toy Fair of the United States, open
ing here tomorrow.
iMr. Kringle, with the hundreds of
buyers from this and other countries,
has to select the favorite toys early
in the year so that the manufactur
ers may know what to make.
“In the selection of toys local col
or plays an important role,” said H.
D. Clark, secretary of the Toy Fair
Chamber of Commerce. “Although
! many of them enjoy general popular
I ity the country over, the play spirit
of some sections finds an outlet very
different from that in other parts.
“For example, the toy buyers from
j Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
; other large cities of the East stock
up heavily on fine engines, automo
biles and similar appartus. Play

thing buyers from Omaha and other
points in the west make big purchas
es of horses and wagons, stuffed ani
mals and the like. Even in dolls
one finds variations in popularity.
Bob-haired dolls find special favor in
Chicago. In the far west, however,
the old-fashioned doll, with hood
and gingham dress, still holds its
own.”
The fair will last until March 6 and
during that time the buyers will place
orders for approximately half of the
toys needed for the holiday seasons
ten months away.
