If there ever was a time in the history of Valdez when a pood, live 1
Chamber of Commerce was needed it is RIII1IT NOW.
Cordova has a live body that has regular meetings, well attended, and
it has accomplished much and is still actively engaged in promoting the in
terests of the town. Seward, seeking to head the list of Alaska towns, will
owe much that la accomplished in a live Chamber of Commerce that dues
not neglect a single opportunity. Anchorage has just reorganized its ,
Chamber of Commerce, put live men at the helm, and it Is going after the
things that its wants.
Valdez has a Chamber of Commerce, it is true, and is has done a great i
deal for the town, but of late the meetings have noi been well attended: the
vim and vigor which once made the organization in Valdez one of the bast '
in all Alaska has been succeeded by a sp rit of apathy. This will not do.
NOW is the time to be up and doing T. e other towns in this division are !
letting nothing go by that might of benefit is 110 reason why Valdez should
be Idle when all the rest are hard at work.
The present administration is inclined to do much for Alaska, but it is
fair to presume that no one is going to bring Valdez to tht> attention of the
proper officials if the people of Valdez have not t'le ambition to get up in
meeting and speak right out, and the time to do it is right NOW.
There is not a section in all Alaska possessing so many advantages or
having more natural resources t! an has Valdez and Its immediate vicinity,
and these should be shouted to the world, and the only way to do it Is
through a live Chamber of Commerce.
It has been customary to hold the meetings or the Chamber in the c ty I
hall each Monday following the meeting of Hie city council, and more or
less is done at each meeting in the way ut answering letter* of inquiry, ect..
but the meetings have drifted into a sort of a routine affair, while what is
most needed at this time is initiative and direct action, and lots of it.
NOW is the time to stir up a lit tie enthusiasm in these meetings and 1
make the attendance worth while; get all ti:e people of the town out. in- (
eluding the members of the signal corps .1 ml tiie otl.cers from the post, and
the owners of ti:e boats of the mosquito lleet which make this tlieir home
port, that the views of all may be heard and considered.
Other towns are out after everything which may by any possibility
come their way through determined etf«rt. Let Valdez get in the swim
and get something too. There is no time like the present to get busy.
Wiat Is the matter with setting a date (or a rousing meeting within the
tt'week or ten days, give the Chamber a new start, till it with vigor and
pep. and show to the world that Valdez is on the map to stay.
NOW Is the time —Valdez Miner.

Through a deal consumated last night the Elks lodge of Ketchikan is
given a lease on t!ie second Dimr of the Heckman building for the next two
jears for the establishment of club and lodge rooms. The consideration for
the transaction was that J. R. Heckman & Co. are turning over the upper
floor to the Elks without any rental charge at all except the cost of heat
ing As expressed by the Klks the offer was so generous that it could not
be overlooked The lodge concluded flat it was being given something of
great value without cost and that as a result it would be poss hie at once
to give Ketchikan the beginning of a club such as it never had before anil
which undoubtedly will ultimately develop into a beautiful Elks home.
The most enthusiastic Elk had not hoped to get clubrooms. and such
club rooms, so quickly. While economy will be the watchword at the start
the organization hopes to make such procress that it will be but a short
time until Ketchikan Elks may boast as luxurious clubrooms as are to be
found on the Pacific coast.—Ketchikan Chronicle.
ItKAL KKKKIM>M I Oil CHINA
Christian Science Monitor: America's friends from overseas are not by '
any means niggardly in their praise of President Harding and Secretary |
Hughes for the splendid part which these two American representatives
have played in getting the Washington conference well started. Still, per
haps It Is now time for all hands to realize that praise for past achieve- 1
ments is likely to count less than some other things toward making the en
suing achievements worth while. In fact, praise can sometimes clog the
wheels of progress, instead of oiling them. The successful opening of the
conference is not to be gainsaid, but there can be little praise for the clos- j
ing of It if it closes without the passing of some sort of international self- !
denying ordinance that will mean real freedom for China.
