Chamber of Commerce
Has Fine Luncheon
The millionaire pudding served at
yesterday’s luncheon brought out a
large crowd at yesterday’s session of
the chamber of commerce. If one is
in doubt as to what attraction this city
holds for others, a forty-minute rest
at the noontime luncheon will con
vince the most skeptical that Seward
is surely in red ink on the maps of
many outside cities and concerns, the
individuals desiring information on
every conceivable subject increasing
in number.
After the reading of the minutes of
the previous meeting and the regular
routine had been disposed of, the
members were introduced to Captain
Leadbetter, of the U. S. lighthouse
tender Cedar. The Captain surely
knows his stuff relative to the neces
sity of placing a lighthouse at the en
trance to Resurrection Bay, and among
the interesting points touched was the
fact that inasmuch as the Chamber
has communicated with our delegate
in Washington, all the Chamber can
do at present is to mark time, as Con
gress adjourns within a short time,
and it will be impossible to get any
favorable action on any bill for a
lighthouse at this session of Congress.
It was intimated that the cost of
the necessary light would be close to
$200,000, and it would be two years
at least after the passage of the bill
before the improvement could be
completed. Captain Leadbetter said
a fog horn signal and radio signal
would be included in the equipment
of the proposed lighthouse.
The Captian also pointed out that
1 Seward was in actual need of a Pub
lic Health Officer and Marine Hospital
and deemed it advisable for Seward
citizens to make every effort to have
j an officer and hospital located at this
| port of call.
The Chamber ordered a four-drawer
steel letter file cabinet, cap size, to
take care of the increasing number
of valuable papers which are accu
mulating in the hands of the secre
tary.
The printing committee reported
progress in compiling the chamber of
commerce illustrated book and are
on the lookout for suitable pictures
j which will be incorporated in same,
j Mr. Guy Barnett was appointed on
| the Membership Committee, filling the
: place of Mr. Wrn. Irwin, who is out
side on a visit.
The Increase Committee report in
stantaneous responses in signing up
members, and in only a very few cases
have they been asked to call at a
later date in the month. This is prob
ably due to each and every member
of the chamber “Talking it Up” with
the rank and file of citizens in Sew
ard, and showing them the benefits
to be derived in becoming members.
Tickets for the coming American
Legion dance were rapidly disposed
of among the members.
FIRE TRUCK BEING REPAIRED
The Seward fire truck is at present
at Ogle’s Garage with a broken axle.
Other minor repairs will be made,
parts for same having been ordered
from the States. The sled has the
fire equipment placed upon it and it
will be used in case of fire.
MRS. SWETMANN IMPROVING
Mrs. O. A. Johansen, in charge of
the Seward Drug company during the
absence of Mr. and Mrs. Elwyn Swet
mann in the states, received a wire
from Spokane saying that Mrs. Swet
man was recovering from her opera
tion and was much improved.
The feature at the Liberty Thea
ter last night (and again tonight),
was unusually good. A fine story
of the regeneration of a New York
Gangster by a small boy. We ven
ture to say there was not a dry
eyed person in the audience. It was
far superior to the general run of
crook plays.
But the “Barnyard Orchestra” must
have seen a hawk or skunk, or some
thing, for they forgot their piece and
got all mixed and out of time. If
they would spend a little more time
practicing it would be a pleasure to
hear them as it was the first time.
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Ellsworth, who
have been stopping at the Hotel At
wood in Seattle, have secured apart
ments in the city and are enjoying
a well earned vacation.
The lighthouse tender Cedar sailed
south last night, after lighting and
overhauling the blinker at the en
trance to the bay.

According to stories received from
apartment dwellers one gains the
idea that cold steam is run thru the
radiators.
In her fright when her home was
on fire, Mrs. Barford Miller of New
York threw a purse containing $250
out the window. She was rescued
by firemen, but the money was never
recovered.

EXPERTS WOULD SAVE
HERRING IN ENGLAND
FOR BREAKFAST FOOD
LONDON, Feb. 11.—The humble
herring, staple breakfast died in
thousands of British homes, has be
come the subject Of much researc
and two British scientists recently
went to Norway to acquire a more
detailed knowledge of his tempera
ment and habits.
Fisheries authorities point out
that the huge catches of herring in
the North Sea of recent years have
threatened the supply, and the mi
grations and seasonal distribution 01
fish of different ages are being
studied in an effort to prevent the
decimation of the runs, such as hap
pened in the case of salmon in the
Pacific northwest and British Co
lumbia waters. Thousands of her
! rings have been captured and mark
ed for further identification, then
released, the fishermen advised to
notify the Fisheries Development
| Commission if they are caught in
! the future.
