NOME, FRIDAY JUNK 9. 191t
The Nome Chamber of Commerce hia
found a ready response 10 t.u sugg-.a
tion that the various commercial both, s
throughout the territory unite In forming
a general organization to be known ns
ine ua..-Alaskan t_ number of Commerce,
with functions similar tu those of i.n
United States Chamb* r of Commerce
Without exception the Chambers of
Commerce to which the suggestion was
offered have signified their willingness
to co-operate with the local chamber
and ail present Indications point to the
formation of such a body In the near
future.
An organization of this character can
not but have an exceedingly beneficial
t [feet on the affairs of the territory.
n addition to wielding a weighty in
fluence in domestic affairs, a great Cen
tal organization representative of overt
Important town and section should be
come a most powerful factor In further
Ing the legislotlve needs of the territory,
both at home and abroad.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce. although a comparatively recent
organization, has long since become
recognized as a singularly effective in
fluence In shaping constructive legisla
tion in the national capital
Being representative of the commercial
Interests of the entire country, it has
been accorded generous consideration by
the national lawmakers in all matter:
pertaining to commercial legislation and
lias time and again been Instrumental In
rectifying abuses of law and In assist
ing in the promotion of laws of wide
benefit to business and the nation at
large.
Hence, there Is no valid reason to
doubt that an Alaskan chambed modeled
upon similar lines would have an equal
ly beneficial Influence In the furtherance
of local legislation.
There Is also reason to believe that
such influence would extend even farther
than tbe boundaries of the territory,
frit tbe reason that tbe body' would be
representative of the whole of Alaska
and. therefore. In a position to t xpress
tbe desires of the whole people in mat
ters affecting the territorial welfare
In this respect It would probably be
come a far more effective agent .n pro
curing desirable benefits for the terri
tory than the legislature itself
Rightly conducted it would constitute
i> power for good both In Juneau and
Washington, In addition to being a
tactor of prime importance In the reg
ulation of economic conditions and the
■■ (taping of the future development of
the territory.
In outside matters it would naturally
become the mouthpiece of the people
and at horns would probably become
the guiding Influence in tho major por
tion of affairs relating to the public
Rood.
Alaska needs just such an organization
—one that will be at all times In a
position to act for the people In all
public matters without regard for di
vision lines or the selfish divisional in
fluences which at present divide the
territory Into helpless groups without
cither voice or strength to assist the
vountry or themselves

How Portland may begin to take he.
p.ace among Hie commercial cities o.

of the Chamber of Commerce by T. H.
Wilcox at a special meeting.
Definite action commenced today, u
is declared the first step toward the
greatest development in the history o.
Portland has begun. The cultninutlon
nf years of work seems close at hand.
The establishment of a" permanent
steamer line to Alaska Is what Mr. Wil
cox, newly elected a chamber of com
merce director, holds as the first vital,
step. He suggests the line be started
by the port of Portland with a bond j
ilsue of *1,IWO,000 to build three vessels, ,
and last evening he outlined the means
by which It should prove profitable. To
day he went further and, drawing aside
the creen of temporary depression, show
ed the future of the city as one of the
commercial factors of the United States, j

SEWARDS FAMOyS PURCASE.
iScattlo Times.)
Furty-nlne years ago toduy the Uni
ted Suites completed the negotiations for
hhe purchase ot the territory of Alaska
from the Russian government.
) For this empire In the north, a favorite
(butt for the near wits of the period,
kills country paid the tremendous sum
|of $7,200,UUU! This was held to be many
Itlmes the value of the domain obtained.
I Last year, the trade of the nortblahd,
nearly all of Which passed through Se
attle. aggregated approximately JDO.OoO.
000.
At the conclusion of the year’s busi
ness it had a balance in its favor of ap
proximately 127,000,000.
In forty nine years its products rep
resented an aggregate value of mort
than half a billion dollars.
This Is the Alaska of the past.
The Alaska of the future, thanks tc
the new era of development upon which
the country is now entering, will sur
pass the past as much as the past has
surpassed the expectations of the pcs
simists who derided Its purchase
