practicability of the government

were desirous of seeing some
thing done during their lifetime
and would welcome almost anj
plan which would open the mines
He believed, however, that noth

BEFORE CHAMBER
(Continued from page i)
elected by acclamation.
The question of settling upon
n regular night of meeting other
than Friday was again discussed.
A proposition was made that the
chamber should meet semi
monthly instead of each week as
at present. The plan was vigor
ously opposed on Lhe ground that
matters of importance to Alaska
in general and Yaldez in partic
ular were before congress and
would need watching.
A telegram was submitted to
the chamber which had been re
ceived by Mayor Boyle from Dele
gate Wickershain asking that he
be authorized to represent the
Yaldez. chamber at a national
meeting of the chambers of com
merce at Washington 011 April
22. The delegate had asked that
instructions be wired but a mo
tion prevailed that the president
should write and forward the au
thorization, also asking Delegate
Wickershain to send a report of
the convention to enlighten the
Yaldez chamber for future fitiid
ance.
Mr. Kdmund Smith, chairman
of the committee appointed to
raise money to send Mr. <>. I*.
Hubbard to Washington rendered
a statement showing that $717.50
had been forwarded, lie stated
there was now a draft for .$150
drawn by Mr. Hubbard and must
be taken up at once, in "accord
ance with the agreement made
before Mr. Hubbard left for
Washington, lie suggested that
the collection committee be dis
missed and a now one appointed.
The suggestion was put in the
form of a motion which prevail
ed and the committee was dis
missed with a vote of thanks for
their good work.
Mr. C. (J. Rudolph, chairman
of a committee appointed at a
previous meeting to lake the
matter of the switching of the
mail route up with the grand jury
explained that after consultation
with the posLoll'icc inspector, at
present in the city, the matter
had been dropped as no change
could be made which would be
' of bene tit.
Mr. Paul d'lliery reported I lie
result of his investigation con
cerning fake information which
was reported to have been sent
out through the chamber. || ap
pears that a number of pas
sengers coming up on the steam
er who were desirous of going
to the interior via Yaldez. hail in
quired concerning the condition
of the trail. A fellow named
House, who is well remembered
by Yaldez. husinc.ssm.cu cliielly be
cause he left a large nrmber of
unpaid bills behind, is said to
have told the passengers he had
sent a message to the Chamber
of Commerce regarding the trail
and Hie answer had come hack
that the road was absolutely im
passable. Mr. House was voted
a ill. member of the Ananias
club and can get a certificate to
that effect at any time on appli
cation to the secretary of the
chamber.
The chairman stated the pro
posed postal route along the
sound for which estimates had
been asked from launch owners,
was puzzling the boat owners, as
they could not understand the
proposition of making the long
trip to Cordova when the big
steamers covered the route six
tinges each month. A committee
consisting of Jas. Fish, Jr., Jos.
Dieringer and II. J. McChesney
