nancial ventures.

COURT DISMISSES SUIT TO BAR
CITY FROM DEFRAYING R06
ERTSON S EXPENSES
(From Juneau Empire).
Complete victory for the City gov
ernment in the injunction suit, filed
against it by E. Valentine to pre
vent the City sending a special repre
sentative to Washington was won
today when Judge T. M. Reed va
cated the temporary restraining or
' der granted Mr. Valentine and gave
judgment for the City. This removes
the bar against the use of City
funds in defraying expenses of a
special representative to make the
i proposed trip.
That the City Council would win
was predicted last Saturday when
Judge Reed overruled a demurrer by
| Wickersham & Kehoe and Grover C.
| Winn, counsel for Valentine, to the
| City’s ansfwer to the complaint and
allowed the plaintiff until today to
! reply. Today Judge Wickersham an
! nounced in open court that the plain
tiff stood on the demurrer and de
| dined to malm a reply. Attorneys
for the City, Hellenthal & Hellen
I thal and R. E. Robertson, were then
instructed to prepare an order va
i eating the temporary restraining or
der which the Court had granted pro
hibiting the use of City funds, and
to further prepare a judgment dis
missing the action and refusing the
relief asked for by the plaintiff.
Both were prepared and signed by the
j Court this afternoon.
It was said by members of the
| City Council that R. E. Robertson
who was selected to act as special
| City counsel in presenting certain
data to Congressional committees,
would leave here on the steamer
j Alameda for the national capital. He
will appear especially in support of
the street bonding bill for this com
munity, as Acting City Attorney,
and by endorsement of the Council
and citizens generally .in support of
Southeastern Alaska’s petition for di
vision of the Territory and other
undertakings of interest both to
the community and the panhandle
of the Territory.

COMMUNICATE l|
WOODROW, Alaska, Feb. 17.—The
ctiizens of Woodrow held their first
public meeting Saturday night and it
was a great success. Both young and
old assembled at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Hendrickson, who entertained
their friends in lavish style. There
was card playing, dancing, recitations
singing and debates. Mr. Goodskey
and Mr. Drayton taking prominent
parts in the latter. The subject was,
“Resolved, That the Porcupine Could
Not Exist ^Without Its Present Means
of Defense.” Mr. Goodskey took the
negative side of the question, and
clinched his argument with the re
mark that all porcupines in Alaska
were males and Nature furnished
them with quills as means of defense
against the female porcupine of for
eign f mntries. I think, Mr. Editor,
it is a shame that Man was not furn
ished with some means of defense,
such as quills to protect himself
against, not the females of foreign
countries, but against the fair sex of
his own dear, old Alaska.
Some people certainly are willing to
deprive themselves to own an auto.
John F. Griffin, motor vehicle com
missioner in Manchester N. H., tells of
a shiftless man who somehow scraped
together enough to buy a car. That
took his last dollar. And he couldn’t
get gasoline for his auto, not having
credit at any garage. So his wife, a
steady worker with credit at a store,
bought two dozen eggs, walked four
miles to another town and sold them,
getting enough money to buy four gal
lons of -gasoline. Maybe this was the
shiftless man’s conception of success,
On account of the temporary ab
sence of President Hinde, the week
ly meeting of the Seward Chamber
of Commerce was called to order by
Vice-president McMullen. A capaci
ty crowd was in attendance, and as j
guests of the Chamber, were Mr. Paul
Buckley, Captain O. A. Johansen,
Mr. Hedden, mail clerk on the steam- ■
er Starr also one of the Westward
members of the chamber, Mr. Jack,
McCord.
Minutes of the last meeting were
read and aprpoved.
Communication from Willow Creek
Mines company, pertaining to the
benefits of employment thru the
Chamber’s bureau, from employers’
and employes’ viewpoint was read.
Communications to and from Lieut.
Bissell. IT. S. A., air service depart
ment, informing the chamber of his
arrival on the Admiral Watson was
read, and a committee composed of
H. E. Ellsworth, M. E. Moult rev and
J. P. Hannon was appointed to con
fer with and assist Lieut. Bissell in
his investigations as to landing places!
for the round-the-world flyers due
the coming summer.
Under unfinished business the com
mittee investigating the Kelly Trade
Mark Bill, reported, and after an ex
planation by Mr. Elwyn Swetmann,
chairman of that Committee on the
ultimate gain to the consumer in the
pasage of such a bill, recommended
that the Merritt Bill, (HR 6), be en
dorsed by the chamber. A motion
made by W. E. Root, and seconded byi
M„ E. Horner was to the efefct that
the chamber accept the report and
recommendation of the committee,
and that the ocmmittee be discharged
was passed and such endorsement or
dered. j
The condensed reading of the Suth
erland Game Bill was on motion by
Ellsworth, seconded by Urbach, and
was laid over until the next meeting.
Under the head of new business,
Mr. Paul Buckley of Unalaska, was
called upon and favored the Chamber
with a few remarks on the westward.
Mr. Buckley remarked on the various
visits to Seward by himself, and that
each visit showed improvements in
Seward. He stressed the point that
Seward should and would be the
greatest city in the Territory, and sug
gested that stenuous measures should
be taken to insure adequate lights to
the Westward as an aid to navigation.
He complimented Captain O. A. Jo
nansen, master ui me sitjamt'i oian.i
and said he was justly entitled to the
name Riven him to the Westward—
that of the “Bull Dog of the Seas,” for
that the Starr made her schedules;
when many a navigator would be
hove-to in some sheltered bay. He
spoke of the necesity of Seward get
ting a wholesale firm established, and
what it would mean to persons to the
Westward and in this vicinity also.
Captain Johansen stated that Dele
gate Dan Sutherland was introducing
a bill, which he believed would be
supported—asking for additional aids
to navigation in westward waters—
and believed in the opinion of Mr.
Buckley in the benefits derived from
a whilesale house in Seward and
stressed the enormous amounts ot
; coal, used in Alaska, illustrating with
| the number of vessels calling at Un
i alaska for coal, and of Australian ves
! sels delivering coal in that vicinity.
1 Mr. Hedden, mail clerk on the S.S.
i Starr, spoke of his pleasure at being
in this section of Alaska, after othei
discussions under head of new bus
iness the chamber was adjourned.
