PROMINENT VISITORS
ATTEND CHAMBER
MEETING AT GRILL
(Continued from Page One
preciation to the people of Seward
and to your chamber, for the enjoy
ment of my visit here with you.”
Another round of applause burst
forth from the members, following
Mr. Evarts’ speech. Then, presid
ing officer asked Mr. McIntosh, a
former resident of Seward, for a
few remarks. Mr. McIntosh said:
Wiarvts to Remain.
“After an absence of seven years
I too, am impressed with the out
look. While I was a resident of
your town, a number of years ago,
it seemed to me that things were
progressing very slowly. But now it
appears as though the town was
thoroughly woke up. Everywhere
substantial looking buildings are be
ing erected and the old ones being
torn down. The outlook, indeed, looks
very bright. I really am thinking
seriously, if I can persuade Mrs. Mc
Intosh, to remain here once again.”
The conclusion of Mr. McIntosh’s re
marks was the signal for much hand
clapping. Mr. McMullen then in
troduced Mr. Lovekin, who said:
Greetings from California.
“I arrived in Seward a few days
ago from a trip over the Alaska
Railroad. I have just completed the
Golden Belt tour, the "loop trip”
from Cordova. I carry with me a
note of introduction from the father
of the president of your chamber,
Mr. C. C. Hinde. His parent is a
resident of my home town, River
side, Calif. I am a member of the
Riverside chamber of comerce and
want to take this opportunity to con
vey greetings from the land of or
anges and pine. The bigness of
your Territory has impressed me im
mensely. It seems that the great
architect of the Universe used a dif
ferent yard stick when He laid out
Alaska. And the people of Alaska
are just as big as their natural sur
roundings.
“One of the things which pleased
me on this trip was my visit to the
McKinley National Park. Where I
come from my friends call be a
crank on the subject of national
parks. During the last 20 years I
have visited all of the national parks
in the United States and in Canada.
Some years ago I visited the national
parks in the Hawaiian Islands. One
of Alaska’s greatest assets is the Mc
Kinley park. Last year there were
over 3,000,000 visitors to the national
parks in the Union. All these visit
ors came within a period of from three
to four months. In time thousands
of citizens in the United States will
come to Alaska for the sole purpose
of visiting your park to see the wild
animals. Supt. H. Karstens and T.
A. Marquam, of the Park Transpor
tation Company, extended to me many

courtesies during my visit there.
“There are few large animals left
Outside. Here in Alaska, they are
still in the wild state. I would offer
this suggestion, that you have set
aside certain other areas, wherein
large game have there habitat, as a
preserve where game may be safe
and so, later on, spill out or radiate
from the reserve into the surround
ing wilds, for the game hunters. This
is the last stand of big game in the
United States. The fish and minerals
of the Territory can be developed but
the wild game, once it goes, can nev
er be brought back. In closing I
would like to see this chamber en
courage the McKinley National Park
development and other game pre
serves.” The members loudly sound
ed their appreciation of Mr. Lovekin’s
apt remarks and Mr. McMullen person
ally thanked him in behalf of the
chamber. Ben Poindexter was next
called upon.
The “Trail Blazer.”
“I am still of the opinion,” Mr. Po
indexter stated in his opening re
marks, “that if you folks get busy
and construct trails to the tops of
these peaks which surround Seward,
you can hold the tourists here for an
indefinite period. Without doubt the
scenery about Seward is the most
beautiful of any; I—yes, surpasses
anything found on the globe. If you
build these trails you are bound to
hold the tourist who will not linger
but for a day, but for weeks and in
some cases, for a whole month. Be
tween Sew'ard and the McKinley
Park, there is nothing in a scenery
way. HERE IS THE SPOT FOR THE
TOURISTS TO STAY! A burro or
horse trail could be constructed up
this mountain alongside of Seward at
a cost of a couple of hundreds of dol
lars. Seward always has had a brit
spot in my heart for, Thave a daugh
ter w'ho was born here and it always
has been my hope that some day we
will come back to Seward and LIVE.’*
A spontaneous outburst met Mr.
Poindexter as he took his chair,
which when it subsided, the presiding
chairman took occasion to cordially
thank Mr. Poindexter. Seward’s most
ablest booster, Captain Johansen, wa3
called upon to address the assemble.
“The Sewyard chamber should feel
honored by the attendance this after
noon to this meeting by these guests,
and for their kind expressions,’ Cap
tain Johansen said. “I wish to take
this occasion to compliment Mr.
Evarts on his talk. As he so stated
he has been here for about four
months. During his visit with us he
is devoting his time in writing arti
cles regarding Alaska, and especially
this region, which, when they are
published in the states, are bound to
be the most valuable to Alaska, that
has been ever emanated from the Ter
ritory in many years.’’
Made Honored Members.
Leon Urbach, rose up following Cap
tain Johansen’s remarks, making the
motion that all of the guests be made
honorary members of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce. The motion
was seconded immediately by Captain
Johansen,and passed unanimously by
the members. Mr. Evarts thanked the
chamber members for the honor, and
Mr. McMullen, in a few words, wel
comed the new members to the organ
ization.
Little business came up for action
or discussion with the exception of
the suggestion put forward by Cap
tain Johansen in which he stated that
due to the fact that removal of the
Jesse Lee Home orphanage to this
city, would release three teachers to
the Westward. It appeared to Capt.
Johansen if effort were put forward
to the Bureau of Education these
teachers could be transferred to the
local institution upon its completion.
He also brought a message from Mr.
Erskine, prominent citizen and mer
chant of Kodiak. Kodiak is in dan
ger of having the U. S. Experimental
farm moved to Fairbanks, he said.
Mr. McMullen suggested that upon his
return to Kodiak be instructed to
have Mr. Erskine w^rite the local
chamber so that action can be taken.
Upon motion made by Joe Badger,
the secretary was instructed to can
vass the homes of Seward for a col
lection of photographs which will be
sent to the Pacific Northwest Expo
sition, which will be held in iSeattle
next month, during “Buyer’s Week."
The photographs will be exhibited in
the Alaska Railroad booths and wilt
be returned wThen the exposition
comes to a close.
The meeting adjourned. > '
