Messages Thanking Friends
of Valdez
The regular session of the
'Chamber of Commerce was held
last night, there being a full at
tendance of the members. Smiles
'beamed on the faces of those who
had worked hard and consistently
for the dike and home rule bills
last winter. The day's news ap
peared to give a new impetus to
'the chamber, the general feeling
•prevailing being that the body
'should not rest in too much as
surance of the llnal passage of
the bills in which the chamber
'was so deeply interested, but that
on the contrary we should re
double our vigilance and continue
to urge upon congress the pass
age of tin; measures in which
Valdez is so vitally interested.
Telegrams were ordered sent to
Delegate Wickersham, Col. Rich
ardson and Judge llubbard thank
ing them for the signal services
they had rendered Valdez, and
asking them to re-double their
efforts |o secure the passage of
the dike bill through the house.
Air. Ilemple railed the attention
to the chamber thai efforts would
hi' made to send men from the
outside to work on the dike and
moved that I lie chamber notify

unions and i\la.j. Cavanaugh, call
ing attention that all the men
needed could be obtained in Val
dez. Cordova ami Seward—men

Orders have been received at
Fori Liscum for the transfer of
the 10th infantry to the states.
The transport Buford will leave
San Francisco with the 30th in
fantry on hoard for the north on
June 1st, slopping at Seattle to
take on members of the signal
corps sent here to relieve men
who have put in four years in this
section.
From Seattle the Buford will
touch at Fort Seward, thence to
Liscum, St Michaels and Nome,
returning direct to San Francis
co with the Kith from the latter
port. Many of the men at Fort
Liscum have put in applications
for transfers to the 30th, and notj
a few have asked for permission
to purchase out desiring to re
main here.
It is not thfilllght the transfers
will hesgranlyd, as it is not the
policy oiHtnyWar department to
permit mery^turcinaln in Alaska
over a gi\Tn (himl inasmuch as
those seizing here^are allowed
time and a half in their enlist
ment, which goes a long ways to
wards early retirement.
When the ltnford departs from
this port then? will he hut few

corps left, as most «»f them have
remained here over their alloled
time. 'None will be missed more
than the boys attached to the siK
