Meetings Grow In Interest
Local Chamber of Commerce Lunch
Attended By Many Visitors
from Queen City.
W. Rankin Good was the first!
speaker called upon at yesterday’s
luncheon and business meeting of
the Seward Chamber of Commerce,
held at the Seward Grill, and in re
sponse to Vice-President McMullen’s
invitation for a few remarks stated
he considered it an honor to be priv-i
leged to be a guest at a meeting
among what he claimed to be the
most hospitable people he had ever
met. Mr. Good hails from Los An
geles where he has been engaged
for the last eleven years in the print
ing business, conducting at the pres
ent time the largest plant in the
United States west of Chicago.
Mr. Good pointed out that in 1902
Los Angeles had a population of 80,
000, and today, 1,200,000 is the cen
sus count. This w'as not due to a
gradual and natural growth bu-t re
sulted from the efforts of the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, to
whom all credit is given for the re
markable growth of the Southern
city. A consistent advertising plan
was laid out and followed. This em
braced the entire United States. Mr.
Good brought this fact before the at
tention of the members for the sole
reason of bringing home the fact that
Seward should get behind some con
certed advertising plan, and adver
tise throughout the United States
to the very possible limit. Provid
ing a systematic national advertising
campaign is carried out, with ref
erences to Seward, the reward will
be amazing.
“Seward to me, is the most won
derful town in Alaska, and I pro
phecy that within a period of 20
years the largest city in the Terri
tory will rise up, You have the
real Gateway to Alaska here. When
I recall Los Angeles harbor at San
Diego, 20 miles away, in comparison
with your Resurrection bay, and the
tremendous natural resources which
lay adjacent to and in the Interior,
• all which must at some time pass
j thru this port, your destiny is as
! surred.”
Pennsylvanian Makes Talk.
T. F. Penman ot- Scranton, Pa., was
a guest at the chamber luncheon and
responded to the invitation of Mr.
McMullen stating few people in the
East know about this country. The
included himself so he ■ thought he
would come and see for himself. Two
things have come under his obser
vation which deserve more than a
passing notice, he said. One of these
is the splendid hospitality evident
everywhere in the Territory which
is certainly quite a relief, he con
tinued, from the cold regions of his
States where so much foreign ele
ment is located, and who are so un
like “our forefathers.” In Alaska
he has found real Americans, and as
a whole, it is more like one large
family, all friendly and helpful.
There appears to be great possi
bilities for the Territory, also great
handicaps, Mr. Penman said, wrhich
are hard to overcome. As he review
ed Alaska’s case all the country
J needs is advertising. Every tourist
I who visits Alaska will have some
thing to say about their Northern
travels when they return home. This
is good advertising. Mr. Penman
also said he will have some won
derful tales to tell -when he gets
back home, about how he panned for
gold, and found it, the fishing enjoy
ed, the fine trip over the Richard
son highway, the comforts and dis
comforts, which as they came were
enjoyed and above all, the magnifi
cent mountain scenery. In conclu
sion, Mr. Penman said it was an un
expected honor to be the chamber’s
guest and it was a pleasure to have
met with its members.
Hal G. Evarts Present.
Once again the members of the
Seward chamber had the pleasure of
Hal G. Evarts' presence at the lunch
eon and, quite naturally, he was
called upon to “do his stuff.’’ Mr.
Evarts said he was beginning to feel*
like he was a resident of Seward.
He called to mind his last attend

ance at the luncheon to which Mr.
Loveskin, former sugar planter of
the Hawaiian Islands was also a
guest, ami was very much interest
ed in hearing what Mr. Loveskin
had to say about the McKinley Na
tional Park and the preservation of
wild game life, w’hich Mr. Loveskin
proclaimed was one of the most
valuable assets the Territory possess
es. In this respect Mr. LovesTvin
touched on Mr. Evarts’ hobby, which
is wild game animals.
The various Alaska Chambers
should back up the Alaska Game
Commission in fur stocking and re
stocking, for it is a matter of dol
lars and cents to the entire Terri
tory. A constructive program care
fully followed out would result in
Alaska producing in the neighbor
hood of from $8,000,000 to $10,000,

Tourists Better Than Wheat
The Alaska tourist season is limit
ed to probably three months, Mr.
Evarts continued, and in order to
cause an immediate increase to this
profitable crop, he said he felt quite
confident and certain that two or
three large special steamers could
be filled with Southern reservations
very easily, providing the price was
not exorbitant. This season has
