The Seward Chamber of Commerce
last night gathered ai the Seward
Grill for the purpose of giving Messrs.
Nunau and Davit, manager nd engi
neer respectively ot the New Dug and
Fisheries, iutorma.ion requested n »'?
gard to the cjiupa'iy > opening aj
1*01(1 storage and packing house here.
Mel Holben of the Grill and his capa '
ble chef, Harry Ebbeth, had prepared
a really elaborate banquet for the
members and their guests. Alter the
wants of the inner man were satisfied
cigars were lighted and President
Whittlesey rapped for order, calling
upon Mr. Davis for a short explanation!
of his visit here. Mr. Davis replied in
part that his compan> had sent them
North on a “prospecting trip.” that he
and Mr. Nunan were fishermen, andl
during the fishing season were busy
men; that they had ha! no /action,
and wert thoroughly enjoying tin* one
now on He told ot his company’s en
terprise at KetchiKau, and stated Hint
he could give no statement ou. b. the
Chamber at the present Lime, as theii
official report would be mined in to
the company’s western representative,
who in turn would lorward it to the
Eastern house, who maue the final de
cision. Mr. Davis decntral that ih» i
fish .ig business was moving westward!
and that Seward was cenr i v located J
on me edge of a fishing bank which
could supply a numbei ol tompani-sj
w itli ash for a thousand years. He I
stated that his company used about:
thre hundred horsepower, nd r.e
j
f-r -d to generate tlier' own powm
but would take power from the city,
or any other company, so long as the
required amount could be had. He
was given estimates of the probable
horsepower at Grant Lake, and also
at Lost Lake, the former furnishing
5000 horsepower and the latter about
500. He was also informed of the
probable cost of Delsel power, fuel oil
being quoted at six cents the gallon,
and the cost of operating a 300 horse
power Deisel being estimated at 90
cents an hour, or about 30 cents for
100 horsepower. Mr. Davis was de
lighted at the information that the
Seward plant was the largest sub-sta
tion of the Standard Oil In Alaska,!
with a fuel oil capacity of 2,000,0001
gallons. It was also pointed out that
the Seward wharf was the best in the
Territory. Available sites were offer
ed, and every inducement given the
company to locate. The discussion
revealed that the company was in
earnest in its endeavors to secure a
location, but nothing was given out by
the gentlemen to indicate a preference
in sites.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Nunan both stat
ed that if their company located here
that it would add greatly to the pay
roll and to the population of the town.
The company handles about 8,000,000
pounds of fish at their Ketchikan sta
tion.
Attention was also called to the fa
cilities of local mills for furnishing
boxes of native spruce, w’hich Mr. Nu
nan said were ideal for the purpose.
The meeting was a most interesting
one. and showed that our citizens
are ■. orking together in unity for the
securing of the plant. The visit ot!
tin <■ officials is the harbinger of more
in a-‘vies for Seward, and the begin
ning o! an era of progress.
Messrs. Nunan and Davis left on the
Watson for their homes in Ketchikan.
“Pioneer” Smith, city attorney and
a popular old timer of Seward, was
taken to the Anchorage hospital to
day by Nurse Perry, suffering from a
recurrence of the complaint which
prostrated him two years ago.
Mrs. Richard McNally returned on
last night’s train from Anchorage.

GIVES SEWARD A BOOS':'
“I was agreeably surprised at the
evidence of business activity and gen
ual siiirit ot optimism that prevailed
in Seward,” said Judge Leopold David
who recently returned to Anchorage
from a professional visit to Seward.
Judge David stated that the activities
of the Standard Oil company had con
siderable influence with the prevail
ing optimistic spirit. Halibut fishing
is also a source of revenue through
out the winter, said .Judge David, who
further reported a pleasant trip. That
the towns of Seward and Anchorage
will continue to work in harmony for
their mutual advantage is the opinion
of Judge David, who authoritatively
speaks from expressions gathered
from the Seward business men whom
he visited.
Tom Dwyer and Chas. cooper left
on today’s train for lower Lake Kenai
on a moose hunt. They will be joined
at Snug Harbor by Walter Holben.
