Committee Is Appointed
Prominent Eastern Business men Are
Heard At Yesterday’s Lunch
and Business Meet
“Apparently, each successive week
ly meeting and luncheon of the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce, is grow
ing in interest for the large attend
ance at the last few meetings, to
which many visitors have been
guests, has been extremely gratify
ing to both the officers of the or
ganization as well as to the members
themselves. The idea of bringing a
guest, is a splendid one for each vis
itor to Seward, and there have been
many of them this season, has some
thing to say and from this source of
information, the chamber obtains in
valuable suggestions for the better
ment of the community and also, the
Territory as a whole.” Thus was
YOU WILL
FIND THIS TO BE
TRUE
■—that your automobile or motor"
boat lubricated with Zerolene will
run from 25 % to 50% farther with"
out needing to have its valves
ground or cylinders rebored. This
is so because Zerolene forms so
little carbon, and that of a soft
flaky nature, most of which blows
out with the exhaust.
-—that you will get more mileage
from your gasoline, because Zero"
lene, giving better lubrication con"
tinuously, permits the delivery of
more engine power to the wheels
on the ground or the propeller.
—that Zerolene will reduce your
upkeep cost and add years to the
life of your motor.
Insist on Zerolene—a better oil.
Ask for it by name—Zerolene.

lie gist of the short responses made
by P. C.‘McMullen, chair, who pre
sided over yesterday’s meeting which
was held at noon in the banquet
ting hall of the Seward Grill, and to
which, three business men of the
East were present.
Hold Members Attention.
The guests at the luncheon were
Messrs. H. C. Whitehead and J. L.
Campbell, both of Newark, N. J.;
P. D. Beaulieu of Winner, S. D ;
William Kaiser, noted Alaskan guide
and big game hunter, and Mel Hor
ner, local resident who also is a li
censed guide in the Territory.
The first three named guests all
gave exceptionally absorbing accounts
of their Alaskan activities, which
are published elsewhere in the news
columns of this issue.
Appreciate Local Cooperation.
Among the communications read
was one from the Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, in
which Julian D. Sears, acting direc
tor of the department said the ex
pression of good will and approval
of the work of the Geological Survey
in Alaska were gratifying and that
an earnest desire of the local organ
ization to be of public service, must
be the foundation stone—that it is
believed, if the increased appropria
tion the local chamber is urging be
granted, it will be the means of con
tinuing and enlarging the Survey’s
field of usefulness.
Jack McCord In Portland.
A newspaper article in the Ore
gon Daily Journal, at Portland, was
read, in which it was stated Jack Mc
Cord, Seward resident, is making an
effort to interest Portland business
men in establishing a line of steam
schooners from Portland to Alaska.
It was voted to send Mr. McCord a
letter of thanks for his consistent
work for the good of Alaska.
The matter of the probability that
shortly Alaskan mail will be sent to
the Territory as freight, doing away
with postal clerks on the steamers
was brought to the attention of the
members. It was stated a protest
from every Alaskan town and com
munity should be sent to Washing
ton, D. C., urging the present sys
tem be not abolished. Upon mo
tion regularly made and passed, a
committee of three was appointed by
Chairman McMullen to take this im
portant matter up at once with the
proper authorities and to work out
ways and means in general for the
continuation of the present mail ser
vice to Alaska.
The •committee appointed consists
of L. V Ray, chairman; Guy Bar
nett and C. E. Orlander.
