LARGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL
MEETING IN MANY MONTHS
HELD YESTERDAY
WONDERFUL TALKS WERE MADE
Court Officials and Numerous Out
Of-Town Visitors Guests
at Luncheon
The local Chamber of Commerce
meeting held yesterday at Fisher's
Cafe was one of the largest attend
ed in many months, which speaks well
for the growth and interest reflected
in the local chamber’s activities. And
lending much to the gathering was
the presence of the many guests in
cluding members of the district court
party, and numerous out-of-town visi
tors. Aside from the reading of the
minutes and listening to the commun
ications, business was swept aside in
order that expressions might be heard
from the guests.
President P. C. McMullen presided
and called first upon the Honorable
Judge Cecil H. Clegg, of the Fourth
Judicial division, for a few remarks.
In part Judge Clegg said it gave him
much pleasure to be present, that
he always had a soft spot in his
heart for Seward having resided here
for almost three years, many years
ago. He payed a distinct compli
ment to Capt. O. A. Johansen stating
in those earlier days Captain Johan
sen was then, as he is now, one of
Seward’s most important and loyal
citizens. In those days the Captain
was master of the steamer Dora.
Judge Clegg dwelled briefly on the
railroad construction days, then
swung into that part of his address
whieh will resound throughout the
Territory, when he put forward the
suggestion of erecting a memorial in
honor of Sect. W. H. Seward. His
remarks on this subject are published
elsewhere in the columns of this is
sue.
Seward Lacks Landing Field
Anthony J. Dimond, attorney, twice
member of the Territorial legislature,
thanked Judge Clegg for his splen
did suggestion and said he agreed
with the Judge that Seward appeared
to be the logical place for the erec
tion of such a memorial. He felt
quite sure, he said, that the people
of Valdez would be glad to support
such a movement.
The need of landing fields for air
craft, wras stressed in particular, by
Mr. Dimond. Alaska must turn its
vision to more speedy methods of
transportation. Valdez has already
begun the construction of a landing
field. Cordova, Anchorage and Fair
banks, already has one, he pointed out
but Seward has none. None of these
will be of any use unless all commun
ities and towms have a field. It is
vital that Seward should lay-out and
prepare such a field immediately.

in answer to the editorial wihch ap
peared in The Gateway on Monday.
Mr. Thomas has an engaging voice
and splendid personality and held the
close attention of the entire assem
blage during his remarks. He has
kindly offered to write for The Gate
way, an article based upon his re
marks of yesterday and in answer to
the editorial. This will be published
in its entirety tomorrow.
Mr. Nelson, U. S. Commissioner at
Kogiung, who arrived in Seward
from Seattle on the S. S. Yukon, was
a guest and made a few appropriate
remarks, as also did Mr. Morton, fish
commissioner from the westward. Mr.
Horn, cannery man, and Mr. Henry
Burge of Woodrow were guests and
were heard briefly. Capt. Chas. Gra
ham, commander of the good ship Ad
miral Watson, together with Mr. Bak
er, purser of the liner, were once
again welcomed visitors to the luu
cheon.
The concluding speaker of the day
was Capt. O. A. Johansen, who stated
owing to the fact the hour was get
ting late and he felt there were many
business men who were desirous of
returning to their work, he would
only commit himself to making one
remark which was: “Gentlemen! You
have heard some wonderful things
said here today.”
Caterer Chas. Fisher was thanked
for the specially prepared menu which
was varied and well cooked. Cigars
and coffee rounded out the affair.
