€. W. HAMLEY
ENTERTAINS
Chamber of Commerce Meeting of
Exceptional Interest To All j
Attending Members.
Following the regular business
meeting at the Seward Grill yester
day at noon by the Chamber of Com- :
merce, the members and guests of i
the organization were entertained in
a delightful manner by Charles W.
Hafnley, premier memory expert who
is taking a brief vacation in Alaska
for the purpose of securing data for
lectures which he is scheduled to j
deliver at various points thruout the
United States this winter. Mr.
Hamley’s speech took up the great
er portion of the time, and it was
with reluctance, the meeting was fin
ally adjourned at a late hour.
He described in detail the wonder
ful oil painting depicting the world
war, on exhibition in Paris, of other
points of particular interest to Am
ericans visiting the capital city of
France. His description of the sta
tue of LaFayette, Napoleon’s tomb,
his w'ar-time activities in special
service, and of his visit to Monte
rarlo, where he was the guest of
he Prince of Monica, who presides
pver the destiny of the only princi
pality in the world, free of taxation,
were remarkably vivid and clear.
Mr. Hamley said it would give him
treat pleasure to be of service to
Seward and Alaska as a whole, at
my time while traveling about the
States and in this connection, if there
s any message which he can deliv
?r for the local chamber, he would
je only' too glad to do so. Lectures
pn Alaska will be one of his princi
pal talks this coming winter, he
said. Comparing Switzerland to Al
iska, Mr. Hamley stated the Alaska
scenery outrivals that of the Euro
pean country by far, and that is what
ourists are after, scenery. Bearing
;his in mind, he believed one of tne
inest things Alaska -could do, in or
ler to promote publicity and adver
ting, would be the installation of
proadcasting stations. In his home
:own at Hollywood and, in fact, the
?ntire Pacific Coast region, anything
coming from Alaska appears to be
pf exceptional interest to radio fans,
rhree transcontinental highways are
low being built in the United States,
le informed the members of the
chamber, and many of these travelers
who will move to the coast when
these road arteries are completed,
will be vitally interested in hearing
messages from Alaska, which to them
at least, is a new and alluring coun
try.

cordial invitation to attend future
meetings of the organization should
he be in Seward.
Tax Collector Is Guest.
C. C. Murray, from the Internal
Revenue department at Tacoma who
has been in Seward for the last
week on government business, was
also a guest of the chamber and in
a few well chosen remarks orated
on the possibilities of agriculture in
Alaska. He stated this was his third
visit to Alaska and his regard for
the Territory was much more than
that of a casual tourist.
Gus Gilles Among Present.
Gus Gilles, who is perhaps the
best known commercial traveler and
Alaskan broker, attended the lunch
eon and dwelled on the existing har
mony along the Alaska Railroad belt.
When asked about his recent air
plane trips to the Westward, Mr.
Gilles said the trips were made pri
marily for the purpose of becoming
more familiar with the Kenai penin
sula district, which region is destin
ed to become one of the scenic at
tractions of the Territory, and also
to become, nationally known. Re
cently at Anchorage, where Mr. Gil
les resides, a new organization -was
formed, a tourist’s association. This
winter, Mr. Gilles stated, the asso
ciation will establish a bureau in
Los Angeles, in an effort to attract
tourists to the Kenai peninsula, and
especially to Russian River, where
fishing for the sportsman is unsur
passed. It is the intention of the or
ganization to erect this winter in that
region, lodges for the tourists who
will visit the region next year. It
was stated the .American Express
tours are particularly interested in
the proposed scheme and plan to co
operate with the association.
COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT
An adjourned meeting of the com
mon council will be held tonight at
7:00 o’clock at the council room in the
town hall. Much business left over
from last night’s meeting will be com-*
pleted.
