has a number of Japanese who are
good citizens, and they are equally
respected.

CHAMBER MAKES
PROTEST AGAINST
CHANGE COURT
At the chamber of commerce lunch
eon today an emphatic protest was
made against the proposal to change
the court term from Seward to An
chorage, our citizens feeling that they
have been discriminated against by
court officials in cancelling the pro
posed jury term at Seward in May and
holding it at Anchorage June 1. A
motion was made and seconded by
members assembled that a protest be
sent to Judge E. E. Ritchie, at once.
The committee on the selection of
a site for the Jesse Lee Home, sub
mitted its report through Chairman
P. C. McMullen, who informed the
members that Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap
had sailed for Seattle, returning May
9. It was moved that the committee
use its best efforts to secure the site
desired by Mr. Dunlap at Woodrow.
Mr. Urbach being absent, another
member of the committee will be cho
sen, to report at the next meeting.
A communication was received from
L. B. Hardy, game warden, asking
the indorsement of the chamber of
Representative Ben Grier’s move to
secure elk for propagation on Kenai
peninsula, the move being sponsored
by the Elks’ lodge at Anchorage. On
motion the secretary was instructed
to wire Representative Grier indors
ing the plan.
The committee on the Seward-Kenai
lake road reported that Mr. H. V. Ho
ben was willing to grant a right of
way over his land at Mile Four if
the city would secure a new site for
the cemetery, as the present site is
in danger of being washed away if
the road bed is shifted. The executive
committee reported that it had wired
to Messrs. Parks. Cheatham and Re
her in regard to the proposition and
that Mr. Parks had replied that con
trol of the site selected was vested in
the Railroad and if the Railroad re
leased the ground to the land office
it would give the site. They reported
that it would be necessary to take
the matter up with Manager Noel W.
Smith, and Attorney A. E. Rucker was
appointed to go to Anchorage and in
terview Mr. Smith on the matter.
Owing to it being election and a
busy day for many of the members
the attendance was not so large as
on former occasions, but considerable
business was done by those present.

had quarters in the lower part of the
old Boyle building, while the local
hospital was upstairs. If is not known
how much of the jewelry stock was
saved, but the loss to Mr. John Biggs,
