COMING C. OF C.
MEET SEATTLE
ATTRACTS MANY
SEATTLE CHAMBER PRESIDENT
POINTS OUT MAJOR SIGNI
FICANCES OF MEETING
Seattle will be host to one of
the most important business gath
erings ever held in the Pacific
Northwest during the week of De
cember 7, when business repre
sentatives from eleven Western
states and Alaska assemble here for
the mid-year meeting of the Cham
ber of Comerce of the United States,
David Whitcomb, president of the
Seattle chamber, asserted to a repi
resentative of the Seattle Post-In
* telligencer.
Advance reports indicate tnat
from the standpoint of attendance,
the Seattle meeting will surpass
the records of all previous meet
ings. From California, the north
ern and southern parts are joining
in the organization of a special train,
Whitcomb stated. Similar activity
is being manifested in the intermoun
tain states and the Southwest.
Under auspices of the Seattle C. of
C. an effective pre-conference organ
ization is being set up, with every
promise that the Pacific Northwest
is going to capitalize to the fullest
the opportunity offered by this meet
ing.
The program, embracing as it does
many vital issues to business and
agricultural interests of all Western
states, is greatly responsible for the
widespread interest being manifested
in the coming Seattle meeting, Whit
comb stated.
The states of Washington, Idaho
and Montana have special interest
in the meeting, in view of the con
troversy in congress over reclama
tion. Alaska matters will be discuss
ed at length. One of the major sub
jects for discussion at the conven
tion is water conservation, control
and reclamation.
The attitude of business men and
leaders in commerce, industry and
agriculture towards reclamation will
set forth in resolutions to be adopt
de by the meeting and submitted
to the United States Chamber of
Commerce.
Indications point to large attend
ance from the irrigated sections of
the Pacific Northwest and from Alas
ka, and the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce has been informed that sub
stantial delegations will be present
from districts in the South, as well

SPORT BRIEFS BY THE A. P.
An unkind fate which trailed Fran
kie Frisch of the New York Giants
with injuries has pursued him to the
semi-pro diamond. He had a chance
to be a hero in Hackensack, N. J.,
when he came to bat in the ninth
with two on bases. He struck out.
Honus Wagner, famed shortstop
of the Pittsburgh Pirates in bygone
days, fared much better. Playing
first base for his all-stars in New
York, he got two singles and scored
a run. His team won, 3 to 2.
Georges Carpentier, most populara
European fighter ever to visit these
shores, cannot stay away. Accord
ing to California boxing promoters,
the French war hero has signed
articles to fight Jimmy Delaney of
Los Angeles in Januaryt
Babe Ruth, deep in the Maine
woods stalking deer, hasn’t yet been
heard from regarding the new home
run clouting record of Tony Lazerre
in the Pacific Coast League. Tony
surpassed Ruth’s mark by a single
circuit blow when he made his 60th
homer recently.
Women golfers are planning to
organize their own national associ
ation. Mary Browne, wizard of the
court and links, is one of the spon
sors of the idea and the U. S. G. A.
is willing.
