NOW FULLY INFORMED
United States Senator Frank B. Willis stated to a group
u of Seward residents last evening, that he had a defin
ite and more complete undertanding of Alaskan problems
than he had ever before received; that he was now fully
informed as to local requirements and that he would give
his personal attention to the Lowell Creek matter, Harbor
of Refuge for small boats; and, generally for the Terri
tory, his support to any legislation seeking to create an
Appellate Court in the Territory.
Senator Willis had the pleasure of meeting friends
from Ohio, now honoring Seward with their residence.
Mayor Ray, in speaking of Senator Wiljis’ visit, stat
ed he is of the opinion Alaska has gained by the personal
trip of investigation made by the Senator, at his own ex
pense. and as a private citizen, rather than in an official
capacity, and that Seward has gained and will retain the
personal interest of a man high in public authority.
As if to brighten the path of Senator Frank B. Willis
and sending him home with Alaskan recollections he will
ever recall a beautiful and brilliant display of the North
ern lights hovered over Seward Saturday night.
CONGRATULATIONS MR. URBACH
President Leon Urbach, of the Seward Chamber of
Commerce, is to be congratulated on his decision to hold
a luncheon in honor of the visit of Senator F. B. Willis.
He likewise should receive the applause from the citizens
of the city for the able manner in which he presided over
this most important affair
It is said that every letter directed to Senator Willis
is opened and perused, not by his secretaries, but by him
personally. “The old man has got to read them himself
and everyone is answered.” Such, are great men, made of.
MADE MEMBER OF ORGANIZATION
“I am glad to belong to such a live organization such j
as the Seward Chamber of Commerce,” stated Senator.
Frank B. Willis Saturday after an honorary membersip
card had been bestowed upon him by President Leoni
Urbach, in behalf of the Chamber body.
Even the home-grown raspberries, which Senator
Willis partook at the luncheon Saturday, came in for
words of praise. Though he had eaten but a few hours
before on the train he filled up on the delicious fruit.
Now it appears that England won’t even agree to
scrap her Navy blueprints.
No one can deny that Lindbergh is a real hero, but
he refuses to be a reel hero.
That Georgia school teacher who got a year on the
chain gang will possibly confine his future flogging act
ivities to the school room.
