made by George D. Schofield, to act
as his proxy in representing the
Northwestern Al^ka Chamber of
Commerce, of Nome. Other fhambers
affiliated ■with the national organiza
tion are Ilyder, Ketchikan, Peters
burg, Juneau, Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks. It is expected that many
of these organizations will want
Judge ^ ickersham to represent them
at V* ashmgton b fo. . me National
Chamber of Comn.ei .rid at the At

very much . i -o do.
Various eii.i..,bcrs in Alaska and'in
the Pacific coast cities have taken
the matter up with the National
Chamber to secure an endorsement at
the Atlantic City meeting of the Pa
cific Yukon highway. Jack Under
wood, of the Seattle chamber, and
Ernest Walker Sawyer have been on
the ground here and quite persuasive
in interestin gofficials of the chamber
in the project. In a visit to the Na
tional Chamber, Judge Wickersham
had a very satisfactory interview
with A. B. Barber, chief of trans
portation, who urged him to attend
the annual meeting and assist in the
work for the desired endorsement.
The Delegate promised that he would
attend the meeting.
During the past week the Los An
geles Chamber of Commerce has had
a very attractive Alaska exhibit in
the display win low of their Washing
ton headquartei s, located in the Na
tional Press building. This office has
been maintained here for three years
and is in charg: of a former Alaskan,
Ivan E. Goodn.r, as manager. The
latter, some years ago, resided at Ju
neau, where he was an engineer for
the Bradley interests. Alaska was
featured the past week largely be
cause of the presence here of Charles
P. Bayer, manager of the Field Ser
vice and Expo: tion Department.
Many curios of ivory, baskets and
other native novelties, in addition to
illustrated literature, were all fur
nished by the indefatigable worker
for Alaska, Ernest Walker Sawyer.
It was Mr. Bayer who conducted
last summer the excursion Qf 170 rep

what with the coming to Alaska of air
