ON THE JOB SAYS
SEATTLE LETTER
FIRST TO CALL ATTENTION TO
PROPOSED CHANGE IN AL
ASKA MAIL SERVICE
JOINS U. S. CHAMBERS
Meat Company Takes Out Member
ship—Copies of Gateway To
Be Mailed.
The Westward districts are in a
healthy condition with respect to bus
iness activities, stated Carl Al.niy,
al'orncy, who returned Jo Sewirrt
last 'Ycek honi many months stay
at Lost Harbor. Mr. Almy was a
truest at the locai chamber of coni
n.-rc- iunch-.on and bn i n—’s n. •tii.g
which was held yesterday at noon,
during which meeting lie informed
the members briefly of the past and
existing Westward conditions and
outlook.
A check was received by the cham
ber from the Frye-Biuhn company of
Seattle, which company owns :he lo
cal store, to the am mat of $25 in
payment of membership fees.
It was unanimously agreed that
the Seward organization take out a
membership in the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
Though previous action has been
taken, prior to the receipt of the
following letter in the last mail, the
communication brings to light the fact
that thru the unswerving efforts of
the local chamber the matter of the
proposed mail change to Alaska was
called to the attention of the Seattle
chamber. The Seattle communica
tion, signed by the Chamber of Com
merce of the Queen City follows:
In the GATEWAY, of the 16th
ultimo, under items relating to the
actions of your Chamber it is not
ed that a reference H made to
the probability^ of the Alaska
mails being forwarded-as freight,
and the elimination of a postal
clerk.
This was rather startling infor
mation for this office as we had
not the slightest intimation that
any such plan was in contempla
tion. We do not believe in get
ting excited over anything that
/ may happen, but it appears that
your Chamber wrould not have ta
ken the steps it has without some
pretty reliable information. Please
advise us the source of this in
formation.
The handling of mails in this
manner affects the whole Terri
tory, and every organization
should get busy at once to fore
stall any such change from the
present system, which is working
out very satisfactorily and to the
best interests of Alaska.
We still recall the undignified,
careless and un-business-like way
in which the mails were handled
during the war period. It reflect
ed upon the government and seri
ously retarded commercial and in
dustrial progress of the Territory,
besides hampering and greatly de
laying governmental transactions.
Not only should the business or
ganizations • of the Territory be
come aroused, but the Governor,
delegate, and every other official
having to do with public affairs,
should join the line of protest
against any such action. Please
send copies of any resolutions
which may be passed by your
chamber respecting this matter
and we will get busy upon it at
once.
Copy of this letter is being sent
to the other Commercial Organiza
tions of the Territory.
Numerous enquiries are being re
ceived by the chamber from citi
zens in the States requesting infor
mation regarding this and the Far
Westward district. It was decided
(in addition to mailing out circulars
to also send them a current copy of
the Seward Daily Gateway. Little
other business appearing for discus
sion the meeting adjourned.
