Yesterday’s weekly meeting and
luncheon of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce, held at the Seward Grill,
was marked by the presence, as the
Chamber’s guests of two oldtime pros
pectors and mining men; both of
whom after many years’ absence
from the Territory, during which time
they have been highly successful in
their chosen line of work, with the
idea in mind, to once again enter the
valleys and scale the mountains of
Alaska, in search of the glittering ore
which once before they discovered
and brought forward to the produc
ing point, which added greatly to the
Territory’s wealth. It w’as with
much pleasure that J. D. Meenach.
locator of the Ellamar Copper mines
near Valdez, and his associate of
many years, S. E. Squire, were in
troduced to the members of the Sew
ard Chamber. Fred Kassan, who
is accompanying the former well
known Alaskan, was also a guest at
the luncheon. All were introduced
by George Sexton, Territorial Com
mitteeman.
Captain Johansen, in response from
the chair to make a few remarks,
pointed out that the fact that the re
turn of oldtime prospectors of the ab
ility of Mr. Meenach and Mr. Squires
spelled much for the future, and their
advent into the Alaskan fields, was
welcomed with open arms, and indi
cative of bringing results.
Poindexter Lands Seward
uuu
! gineer of Seattle, who has been prom
inent in Alaskan affairs, for many
years part, was welcomed back to
Seward by Charles Hindes, President
of the Chamber. In a short and in
teresting address, Mr. Poindexter
said: “I am very glad to be back in
Alaska again and glad to note the pro
gress of Seward which undoubtedly
is one of the most beautiful spots in
the world. The suggestion has been
on my mind for a long time that a
trail cut along the mountain which
rears its head far above the townsite,
would give to, not only the citizens
t and visitors to the city a gorgeous
view of the surrounding country, but
would be of enormous value in so far
as the tourist travel is concerned.
I am certain the work could be ac
complished at a nominal cost and with
the assistance of a few volunteers, an
asset of untold worth would be the
result.
Another wonderful scenic trail I
hope to see constructed in the near
future, is one across the Fourth of
July creek to Ellsw'orth glacier, one
of the most wonderful glaciers I have
ever seen, and 1 have seen many.
Points of interest along these trails
should be given names and as a sug
gestion why not name them after a
number of your prominent citizens,
past and present, who have assisted
so materially in furthering the inter
ests of the community and adjacent
districts.”
Joe Badger, proprietor of the Van
Gilder Hotel, and a close friend of Mr.
Poindexter, asked him if he would
volunteer to blaze such a trail to the
peak of the mountain. President
Hinde enthusiastically remarked if
Mr. Poindexter would blaze such a
trail he was certain the members
would be very happy to present him
with an honorary membership in the
Chamber. Mr. Poindexter said he
would be delighted to carry out the
suggestion of Mr. Badger.
C. W. Felch, a Territorial salesman,
a recent arrival in Seward from Fair
banks, discoursed interestingly on the
coming activities in the Interior dis
tricts, including the proposed work
of the three big mining companies,
which have recently entered the
field in the Fairbanks region.

tion committee of two: Harry Ells- 1
worth and Joe Badger, with the sug- i
gestion they confer immediately with
the proper authorities regarding the
securing for Seward of a landing i
field for airplanes. They were also ]
instructed to look into the matter of i
the two hydroplanes, which, according
to announcement made some time
ago, were to begin serving westward i
points, as far as Bristol Bay, which
service was supposed to have been
inaugurated the first of this month.
George Sexton proposed Secretary
Hannon of the Chamber, should get
in touch with the Postmaster General
with the view of ascertaining immedi
ate information on the proposed plane
service to the Westward. The en
tire matter was turned over to the
aviation committee.
Mr. Badger reported J. S. Rode
baugh, manager of the Fairbanks
Airplane Company and Noel Wein, pi
lot during the visit in Seward last
week, inspected a site at the head of
the bay and also the street site, both
being reported favorably, he said, but
the street site appealed to them bet
ter. Owing to traffic on the street,
President Hinde stated this site
would be extremely dangerous. The
recent bill passed at the lkst session
of the Territorial legislature at Ju
neau, approving the appropriation of
airplane landing fields in Alaska, set
ting aside $10,000 from the Alaska
Road Commission fund, for the con- j
struction of such fields, will be inves- j
tigated by the Aviation Committee.
Road Committee Report.
The Road Committee met with R.
S. Summers, Territorial highway en
gineer, during his stay in Seward last
week, in the matter of the Spruce
creek trail. It was reported nothing
can be done this year on the trail.
The Nuka Bay road project was also
discussed with Mr. Summers, who re
turned from! the district last Saturday
where he made a survey of the pro
posed road, in company with Anton
Hide, head of the Alaska Road Com
mission activities in the Seward dis
trict. It was stated a recommenda

'UNINVITED GUEST"
BIG CAMERA FEAT
One of the most marvelous as well
as most beautiful photoplays of all
time is showing for the last time to
night at the Liberty Theatre. It is
a Metro production of the “Uninvited
Guest..”
Every kind of photography known
in the making of motion pictures has
been used in this photoplay. There
is the ordinary black and white pho
tography that is used for almost all
pictures. There is the colored pho
tography, made possible by the Tech
nicolor Motion Picture Corporation,
which shows all the beauty of the
tropical waters and luxuriant growth
of the South Seas. And there is the
underseas photography, rarely used in
moving pictures, and showing with
realistic vividness scenes under water.
Ralph Ince directed this J. E. Wil
liamson presentation wThich is based
on Curtis Benton’s story, “The Unin
vited guest.”
Eric Nelson, logging contractor at
Days Harbor, departed from Seward
yesterday morning for the camp.
The schooner Senator, which ar
rived in port a few days ago with a
small load of fish, has b?en run onto
the beach where her rudder will be
adjusted.
