_
Every seat was filled in the big
banquet room at the Grill yesterday
at the Chamber of Commerce lunch
eon. J. H. Flickinger presided over
the meeting, President Hinde and
Vice President McMullen being una
voidably absent.
Reading of the minutes of the pre
vious meeting was dispensed with ow
ing to Secretary Hannon being on the
election board, and arriving at the
luncheon at a late hour. A large num
ber of inquiries regarding Seward
were also tabled owing to lack of
time in their reading. All with but
one exception were asking informa
■ tion regarding Seward, and a number
asked the chamber to send views and
photos of this district., not realizing
the expense to the chamber in case
this were done.
The chamber by practically unani
mous vote endorsed tho( nomination of
George A. Parks for governor of the
Territory of Alaska, and the secretary
was instructed to send telegrams of
congratulation and commendation to
Mr. Parks and Secretary Work.
D. C. Brownell, proprietor of the
Liberty Theatre, appeared before the
Chamber and requested that it co-op
erate with the theatre in placing the

week for some speaker designated by
the chamber to give statistics and
information as to what the chamber
■ is doing for Seward. Mr. Brownell
also advocated the chamber running a
slide on the screen in Ketchikan or
; some other southeastern Alaska thea
tre telling of the advantages of Sew
ard, in exchange for a similar slide
to be run on the screen in the Sew
ard theatre. The matter was referred
. to the executive committee who will
. report at the next meeting.

tor of the Fairbanks News-Miner, pio
neer of the stampede days of '98 in
I Dawson and later on the Tanana, was
a guest of honor at the luncheon. Mr.

members saying that he liked Seward
. and made it a point to spend a few
days here annually for rest and recu
peration. He declared that every time
he came to Seward he saw' a new
building or some other permanent

D. W. GRIFFITH LISTS “FURY”
AMONG SCREEN’S GREATEST
Pronounced by D. W. Griffith to be
one of the greatest pictures ever pro
duced and a document from life, Rich
ard Barthelmess’ new starring pro
duction “Fury,” in which Dorothy
Gish plays opposite him, is a classic
of the sea. Unlike the way most pic
tures of the sea are made, Mr. Bar
thelmess and his supporting company
lived for three weeks on an old
schooner minus all comforts and con
veniences, undergoing the same ex
periences as fall to the men who still
sail the seven seas in windjammers.
“In spite of the hardships it was
the most fascinating journey I have
ever taken,” Mr. Barthelmess says.
“The mathematics of navigation be
came clear to me. I learned to read
the compass and steer by it. The sto
ries some of the old salts would tell
of their experiences were romance
carried to the Nth degree.
“It is a lonesome life though, in
spite of the fact that you are never
alone. There is no privacy. But to be
cut off from the wrorld for three wreeks
without any communication, not even
a wireless, makes you realize isola
tion as nothing else will. It sure
seemed good to buy a newspaper
when we rowred into Gloucester and
also to feel some of the comforts of
home once again.”
