FEDERAL JUDGE HILL
IS GUEST CHAMBER
LUNCHEON YESTERDAY
SIXTY BUSINESS MEN, OF SEW
ARD WELCOME BACK COURT
OFFICIALS
i ! Prominent among the guests at yes
j terday’s luncheon and business meet
ing of the Seward Chamber of Com
! merce, was Federal Judge E. Coke
Hill who returned yesterday from an
official visit to the Westward and
Bristol bay district’s where he con
ducted the first floating term of the
: district court in a number of years.
! Other guests af the Chamber whom
I President Leon Urbach welcomed to
i the city and to the luncheon included
i
j Captain Shea, commander of the U.S.
S. Haida; H. H. Hungerford, in
; charge of the Kodiak fishing area,
I
; Bureau of Fisheries; Mr. Mack and
i Mr. Moore, of the Mack vaudeville;
Clerk of the Court Cuddy and one
other good looking gentleman whose
name could not be ascertained. Most
of the visitors wTere called upon to ad_
dress a few remarks and nobly did
; they rise to the occasion. And a few
of the local orators further assisted in
making the visitors feel at home by
appropriate remarks The meeting
was accentuated by the under-current
of good-fefellowship which spirit is
fast uniting the citizens of this city
and the surrounding districts in a
manner which spells success for pro
; gress and development. It was such
meetings as was held yesterday after
j noon in the Seward Grill which is
j rapidly moulding the local Chamber
body into one of the strongest insti-;
tutions for the general good of the ;
community at large;an organization
which is slowly but surely paving the
: way for a greater Seward. This was
'the sentiment expressed by all.
i During the business session Secre
tary Hannon read a communication
from the Alaska Game Commission in
which they asked for suggestions
. from the local Chamber, and from the j
citizens of this community,as regards
matters they wished to submit to the
Commission at their annual meeting!
which will be held at Juneau and
which will convene in regular ses
sion on February 1.
Another communication from Hood
row was read calling the attention of ;
the Chamber body to the habit of pur_ j
chasing lumber and other material
for the erection of schools, elsewhere
than in the Territory. The letter stat
ed in part, “if the timber in the Ter
ritory isn’t good enough to use why
employ rangers to watch over them.” J
The communication from the City
Council regarding the local proposed
hospital was turned over to the Ex- j
ecutive committee for consideration. |
Captain Guthrie of the airplane field
committee reported the matter is well
in hand and progress being made. He |
said he felt confident Mr. 'Young,avia-!
tion field expert in the employ of the
Territorial Board, is expected to ar- j
rive in Seward momentarily for the j
purpose of laying out the local field. I
Attorney L. V. Ray, Mayor of Sew
ard, stated he was in receipt of a mes
sage advising him that Senator Wil
lis would arrive in Seward from the
Interior either on Saturday or on the (
following day enroute to the States.
Judge Hill said that he could truth
fully isay he was glad to be back, this j
with all due respect to Captain Shea .
and his splendid vessel. But, he added,;
there were many other things he '
would like to say but cannot. And at
this point he enumerated a number of j
them. However, the court party had a
pleasant trip on their recent West
ward voyage. Both a grand and a pet
it jury were empaneled and a number
af cases heard. And a number of these
the government lost. The court made
from 25 to 30 new citizens, he said,
and in conclusion added he expected
to journey out west again in 1928.
Captain Shea if he had thought for
a moment he would be called on to
address the Chamber it would have
been sufficient excuse for him to have
