Executive Committee and Secretarial
Offices Be Filled at the Next
Meeting, January 12
P. C. McMullen was unanimously
elected president of the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce for the ensuing year
at yesterday’s business meeting and
luncheon held at the Seward Grill. El
wvn Swetmann was unanimously elect
ed as vice-president and J. H. Flickin

not filled yesterday, it being regularly
moved and seconded that these offices
be held over and filled at the next
Tuesday’s meeting.
Carl Orlander, nominated at last
week’s meeting declined the honor of
heading the Chamber as president for
the coming year. Captain O. A. Jo
hansen and Elwyn Swetmann, nomi
nated yesterday as president, also de
clined, whereupon Mr. McMullen, who
has been vice-president the past two
years, was elected.
In the brief- talk of acceptance de
livered by the new president he said
that he would do what he possibly
could to further the interests of the
chamber and community; that he was
not desirous of accepting the presi
dent’s chair, feeling there were a
number of others more capable than
himself. However, inasmuch as no
one else wanted the office he would
accept it.
Joe Badger, nominated at last
week’s meeting for the* office of vice
president, withdrew upon Mr. Orlan
der’s declining the president’s chair.

instrumental in building up the pres

much credit, not only to Seward but
the entire district, and who has been

two years, stated he did not care to
continue as secretary, giving numer
ous reasons for reaching this decision.
The members of the chamber are
unanimous in agreeing all credit is
due Mr. Hannon in his secretarial
capacity, for the wonderful forward
strides made by the chamber since his
association with it. It is hoped Mr.
Hannon will change his mind prior to
the next meeting.
Motion was made and seconded that
the nominations of Hugh Dougherty,
Capt. O. A. Johansen, A. R. Roberts,
Leon Urbach v and L. V. Hoben to All
the three executive offices, be held in
abeyance for a week. Three execu
tive officers selected from the above
named will serve on this board with
the president and secretary who au
tomatically become members.
Referring back to the secretary’s
position Mr. McMullen, presiding
chairman yesterday, stated the presi
dent and treasurer would confer this
week in the matter of either procur
ing the services of Mr. Hannon for I
the ensuing year or suggest another
to fill the position.
The latest Alaska mineral report
for 1925 was received by the cham
ber in the last mail from Washington,
D. C., a copy of which is published
in another column of this issue. Ex
tra copies have been received by the
secretary for distribution.
A resolution was regularly passed
which will be forwarded to the De
partment of Commerce asking a con
tinuation of the past coast line work
in this and the westward district. Cop
ies of the resolution will also be ad
dressed to v&rious members of the
legislature and congress and to Presi
dent Coolidge. L. V. Ray, mayor of
Seward and Capt. O. A. Johansen
were appointed a committee of two to
draw up the resolution.
Upon the suggestion of Mayor Ray
and unanimously indorsed by the
chamber members it was resolved to
extend an invitation to E. Lester
Jones, originator of the drag .line sys
tem of surpey, which has been carried
on successfully in southeastern Alas
kan wraters for some years past, to
pay this district of the Territory an
extended visit.

permanent stationing of a cutter in
these waters, particularly at this port
or at Kodiak, Capt. Johansen came
forward with a suggestion that if the
chamber went on record with a reso
lution asking for a cutter headquar
ters here, it was quite probable such a
resolution would tend to strengthen
the local effort a good deal. Capt. Jo
hansen pointed out that the cutters
used in the Alaskan service are each
winter tied up in Seattle and that it
would cost no more for them to tie up
at a port in this district than at Se
attle. The complement on each ves
sel remains the same and their pay
continues wherever they are. The
only time when an additional expense
would come up would be when they
went to the succor of a vessel, or ves
sels in distress. And one wreck
saved, he stated emphatically, would
more than offset the expense of a con
siderable period of operation of the
vessel.
Yesterday’s meeting lasted a full i
hour and one half. A full attendance ;
was on hand and an especially fine •
luncheon was served.
