LOCAL CHAMBER
MEETING TODAY
BELIEVE SEWARD WILL BE GOOD
BASE FOR AIRPLANE SERV
ICE COMMERCIAL WORK
Are After a Mail Contract
Will Bring Larger Machine to This
Port If Business in This
Region Warrants It.
Guests from the1 air, R. J. Davis
and R. H. Merrill, were the outstand
ing features of today's meeting and
luncheon of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce which was held at the
Seward Grill at noon. Mr. Merrill,
pilot, and Mr. Davis, owner of the
plane, in brief talks before the as
sembly, stated they appreciated their
welcome to Seward and told of how
the farther north or northwest they
flew how more sincere the welcome
extended to them. It is evident the
people of this district are more inter
ested in airplanes than in other por
tions of the territory, for the need for
them is no doubt greater. Pilot Mer
rill said he hoped with their entree
into the local field they could be of
much service to this community.
Mr. Davis stated it was their inten
tion to secure if possible a mail con
tract, which would be, as far as local
commercial flying was concerned,
half the battle. However, certain agi
tation has been brought to bear on
the high cost of Alaskan contracts and
he was under the impression this
would have to be overcome. He ask
ed for the support and coooperation
of the community, which Mr. C. C.
Hinde, president of the Chamber, as
sured him would be given, and he ex
pressed the hope the flyers would lo
cate in Seward providing they found
the field profitable.
Have Larger Plane
Mr. Davis said that providing it was
necessary, a larger plane, which he
now has, and which has a carrying
load of 1600 pounds,' would be shipped
to this port and put into service. Mr.
J. P. Hannon, who is well informed
as to prospective airplane service in
this district will work with the airmen
in an effort to devise ways and means
for the permanency of the plane serv
ice.
Little other business was transact
ed during the meeting with the excep
tion of the following letters which
were read by the secretary.
ADD CHAMBER
Seward Chamber of Commerce,
Seward, Alaska.
Your letter of June 11th, offering
valuable assistance in connection
with the location of landing fields
in the Seward district, is very much
appreciated, and this office has delay
ed answering in order to give the
matter consideration commensurate
with its importance.
At the present time it has been
necessary to devote the limited fa
cilities of this office to keeping up
with the great activity that is now
being manifested thruout the United
States, particularly in the larger cit
ies; and in recording the publishing
in the form of Aeronautical Buletins,
data on landing facilities that are be
ing made evailable either by the Air
Mail, municipalities, or private inter
ests.
Although no Aeronautical Bulle
tins have been published, for reasons
stated above, the records of this of
fice show the following available
landing facilities in the Seward Dis
trict:
Parade Ground at Fort Seward and
a field at Fairbanks. Possible sites
for landing fields are indicated at
the head of Gambier Bay; at Wood
Spit, Holkam Bay; on the small pla
teau south of Holkam Bay; the base
ball park at Juneau; a dairy farm
six miles from Juneau,north of Sa

lem creek; and the river flats of the
Endicott and Katzehin.
The Immediate plans of the War
department do not contemplate the
establishment of active flying fields
in Alaska for training or olher pur
poses. However, as we are in this
respect more or less a clearing
house for information on all flying
activities, the receipt of additional
information on landing facilities in Al
aska would be very much appreciat
ed, and subsequently made available
to all activities concerned. Under
separate cover are being forwarded
forms which have been specially
prepared to enable those interested
to submit, in a convenient form, data
and sketches on such landing fields
as will comply with requirements de
manded.
This office greatly appreciates your
Offer of cooperation, and it is sug
gested that you also communicate
with the 2nd Assistant Portmaster
General, Washington, D. C., who may
be interested in connection with a
possible mail air extension.
Very truly yours,
W. G. KILNER,
Major, A. S. Executive.
George Turner Interested
Spokane, Wn., July 22, 1925.
Mr. H. E. Ellsw'orth, Seward, Alaska,
My Dear Mr. Ellsworth: Regarding
the government appropriation for the
coal dock at Seward, would say that
: George Turner, of Spokane, former U.
S. Senator, whom I presume you
know very well, was attorney for the
receiver of the Alaska Railroad when
it was turned over to the Government
and is thoroughly familiar with your
problem regarding the coal situation.
He is very well acquainted with Mr.
Lane, who was in the cabinet during
Wilson’s administration.
1 believe that if you could succeed
in interesting Judge Turner in this
situation of yours that it would be
the means of getting this appropria
tion through very quickly.
We all enjoyed our stay in Alaska
very much, particularly at Seward.
Mrs. Ellsworth and yourself certainly
did make it pleasant for us while
there.
If there is anything I can do for
you here l would be glad to do it.
FRED GRIN NELL.
Should Have Bunkers Now
Regarding the letter from Mr. Grin
ned, the Gateway published an inter
view given by him while he was a
visitor in this city, in which he asked
for information relative to the local
coal bunkers. He stated at that time
he was firm in his conviction that
coal bunkers should be erected and
that not until they were constructed
could Alaska coal operators hope to
market their product in the States.
