WILL MEET
TONIGHT
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
will hold a regular meeting tonight ;n
the fire hall sharp at 8 o’clock. Com
mittees will undoubtedly make reports
tonight of what they have been doing
and many matters of importance will
be brought up and discussed. All mem
bers are urged to be present on time.
AS OTHERS SEE I S
(From Valdez Miner)
Seward has broken through the coo
coon of lethargy and started out to do
thing*. A new organization of the
Chamber of Commerce has been ef*
fee ted and the city is advertising Sew
ard liberally in the Gateway. That
such a step will pay big dividends is
an undeniable fact. If V'aldez would
get past the one-man-town stage it
must also wake up and bid for the
trade it is entitled to. Cordova is
gradually taking away the small boat
trade from Tatitlek and Landlock and
the tide of immigration will pa.ss us
by unless we make an effort to se
cure a share of it. Anchorage na° a
live commercial organization which Is
reaching after everything in sight
from the road appropriation to tV
legislature. Let us follow the example
of our neighbors. They have not reach
ed the prominence they now attain bv
indifference and a belief that busines
is forced te come their way. They
went after the business and it came
to them. The time has come to make a
noise like a city. Let’s get in and do
something.
... The Arctic Brotherhood will give a
St. Valentine'* Dance Tonight this af
fair being a *hirt waist party, that is,
the ladies need not “doll" up and the
men can attend in soft shirts also.
A. A. Shonbeek. leading merchant
of Anchorage, accompanied by his
wife, will arrive in Seward next week
in time to catch the steamer Alameda
for the states where the couple is go
ing on a business and pleasure trin.
T. M. Hunt, of the forestry' De*
partment. who is now in the city, will
make a trip along Turnagain Arm,
then return to Cordova and from there
expects to go to the state* to be tem
porarily located.
