CHAMBER MEET
PLANS TO BRING FAMILY TO
ALASKA IN THE VERY
NEAR FUTURE
“First of all I wish to express my
sincere appreciation of the courtesy
and wonderful hospitality extended
to me since my arrival in Seward yes
terday and the great pleasure I feel
in being in^ted to your Chamber of
Commerce luncheon’,, stated 'judge
Clyde E. Stone, Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court in the State of Illi
nois’ who was the distinguished guest
of honor at yesterday’s luncheon and
business meeting at the Seward
Grill. The prominent jurist, who just
completed a splendid hunt Westward,
has been in the city for three days
and is leaving for the South this eve
ning a passenger on the S. S. Admir
al Watson. Continuing Judge Stone
said:
“I had scarcely become settled hav
ing just completed a session with the
barber, than your Mayor, Mr. Ray,
called upon me. He not only offered
me one key but all the 'keys’ to your
city; for which I was very grateful.
“I was very much interested in see
ing Seward for it immediately impress
es one; I learned much of Seward
and Alaska from Mr. Ray, not only
from the standpoint as a lawyer but
as a citizen as well.
"I am particularly impressed in
Alaska with the great distances. I
knew in a genera! way their extent
but had no conception of the tremen
dous scope in this particular new
field. I understand the fisheries alone
from last year produce! a sum about
$75,000,00, the mining, the tremen
dous possibilities of your spruce and
birch. The shipping interest, as well,
have impressed me very much. It
truly is a wonderful country, friends.
“I am convinced that I have found
in Seward the most active and most
up-to-date town in Alaska. You have
splendid natural advantages, by rea
son of your commerce, facilities, and
there I can see you are making good
use of.
“There has come a vast change in
the spirit of Chamber of Commerces;
in the old days one merchant would
look upon a competitor as a potential
enemy. This feeling has now entire
ly passed away due to the association
of business men such as this Cham
ber of Commerce. The spirit of co
operation effects all and every civic
body of this nature performs a great
civic work.
“My ambition will now be to bring
my family—my wife and three girls—
up to this wonderful country; I want
them to see what I have seen. I have
been favored in securing the trophies
that I wanted and they will adorn my
vails. Distance,lend® to enchantment
and around my fireside I expect to
relate to friends of my Alaskan hunt.
“Not in the sense of flattery but I
would like to mention the conversa
tion I had with a fellow jSassenger
while coming North. He was a world
traveller and had visited all the Scan
dinavian countries but said that
there was nothing in the world which
compared to the Inside Passage trip
to Alaska. From that time on I re
gretted I had not brought my family
along.
“I see Mel (Horner) smiling at me
i down the table there; if I had time I
(would go out with him day and night.
