OPTIMISM RETURNING
The Chamber of Commerce banquet in honor of tho War Department
‘•ngineers provided conclusive demonstration that the feeling of depression
created by the adverse conditions resulting from the war is fast being sup
planted by a new and vigorous optimism regarding the future of the district.
Among all the numerous functions of similar character held here in the
past, we fail to recall one where a general air of confidence was more em
phatically presented in the tone and tenor of the remarks offered by tlie*
speakers than at the one under discussion. And it is equally true that sel
dom before have the remarks made embraced such an array of demonstrable
facts in substantiation of the arguments offered.
Practically every address made during the course of the evening dis
closed that the speaker was proceeding on something more than surmise or
haphazard guess-work. A majority of the leading speakers presented
data disclosing that they had thoroughly investigated the field covered by
their subject and carefully considered tin* facts on which the argument was
'based. In several instances, notably the addresses of Senator Heckman.
Senator Frawley, .Mr It. \V. J. Heed, Mr Pari Lomen and Jafet I.indehors
the array of figures presented was almost enough to bewilder the average
listener. Mr Lomen's declarations concerning the growth of the reindeer
industry, in particular, were amazing to a major!t\ of those who were not
previously aware of the remarkable developments occuring in that branch
of our industries during the past five or six years. Senator Heckman's
illustration of the fishing possibilities of the territory was also, in the phrase
< f the street, "an eye-opener" to most of those attending and created an
entirely new view of the prospects for this section embraced in the local fish
eries. The figures presented by Mr Heed regarding local commerce were ]
: Iso of a character to astonish even tho best informed.
in practically every case, the facts presented were of a character
revealing not only great development in the past year but also most remark- I
able future potentialities. Tin- most noteworthy feature of th« addresses,
however, was that in every case they bore the imprint of sincere conviction
that the outlook far commerce and industry is brighter than sit any tint 'sin
the history of the camp.
In view of the fact that practically all of th<* speeches disclosed
careful study of the situation to which they pertained, the unanimous ac
cord regarding the future may he accepted as practically definite assurance
that all who sire in close touch witty the leading .industries possess a feeling
of certainty that the depression of the past year or two is shortly to bo re
placed by a new era of growth and prosperity based on definitely ascertained
sources of production. .
