however, and the boys are glad It was &c
worse. Whether it was intended as

| At the regular meeting of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, held yesterday,
Bailey Gatzert was reelected president
for the ensuing year, Il. l.. Yesler vice
! president, 4. Mackintosh treasurer, Il.
Scott recording secretary, L. L.
Minor corresponding secretary Treas
urer Macintosh made report of oper-
ations for the past year. Feb. ID, 1885,
ne had in hand SI6430. During the
year he received S417.25. He had paid
out S59G35, leaving the Chamber in debt
to him $14S0. From the annual report
of Secretary Scott it appears that the
Iowa press exeursionists were entertained
at cost to the Chamber of $500, and the
glowing reports from the press Of that
state will doubtless be productive of
much good to the territory. The Cham
ber has succeeded III having the signal
service extended on Puget Sound, to the
great benefit of our shippers. 1t len, its
aid in securing proper memorial services
in memory of Gen. U. S. Grant In con-
nection with the Board OF Trade it Sc
cured to shippers reduction of ! cent
per pound on the freight of hops. 1t has
with the cooperation of the Board of
Trade secured the operation OF the .ail-
road between Tacoma and Seattle 1t
has been partially successful in having
our freight sent "all rail" to Seattle, with
prospect that our interests viii be re-
garded and our freight received without
breakage of bulk. 1t has appointed O
committee to confer with the postoffice
department, with view Of having our
mails brought by rail to Seattle instead
Of by steamer. 1t has appointed COM
mittec to confer with the officers of the
Canadian Pacific railroad to ascertain
what freight facilities would be given by
that road to Seattle, which COMMITTEE:
has boen engaged III gathering statistics
of the commerce of Puget Sound in order
to show the importance Of our trade, and
; has already received assurances from the
Canadian Pacific railroad company that
they would compete with the Northern
Pacific railroad for the trade Of Seattle
THUS it will be seen that our Seattle
brethren have been Far more useful to
their locality, in the capacity of Cham
Der of Commerce, than the proYerbial
fifth wheel to a wagon" The result is
fire example to Port Townsend and
specially to those wouldbe leading citi-
zens who continually insist that our
Board of Trade does not amount to any
thing.
