The election of officers of the Nome Chamber of Commerce and also the election of committees for various purposes took place last evening at a meeting which was held in the federal court house. l he meeting was small. Only some twenty people were present but that score showed enthu siasm and desire to advance the inter- ests of their town. There was not d puler present and the meetirs can he called q most successful one in severy respect.
 President G. P. Goggin began the proceedings by appointing c. D. Christian to the temporary chair. He declared that coming with the eacur- sionists next month are some O. the greatest magazine writers in the country who have been brought rrec- ially by the Seattle chamber of com |. merce to examine this territory at first hand.
 Judge G. J. Lomen considered 1t ad visable to begin the session w2ll by fixing the fees and such matters and the meeting did so.
 Senator Bruner then made very nice little speech in which he decla red that an organized body could always l" more than could oe accomplished by individual effort and he hoped to see the chamber of commerce thrive from this tSne forward.
 The officers of the organizat q n were then elected. They are: Dr. Mustard, president; Joseph Chilberg. vice pre- sident; Dan Crowley. secretary; Russ Downing, treasurer.
 Each of the new officers made a little talk and each and every one o, them showed a splendid spirit and the ambition to make the chambei what 1t really ought to be. /

Mir. Breeding sad it will arrive here on July 14. He believed that Nome should entertain tn .se peo- pie well and let them see wh,t Nome really is.
 c. P. Goggin also spoke str ,ngly along the same lines. He believed that the excursion will be made ID oe the most important men that ever came to Alaska and he believed that ncth- ing should be left undone to lave +. m thoroughly pos 'etA tn the rcsour. ces of the peninsula.
 o. D. Cochran, called upon, declar d that there are many things that only a body like the chamber Of commerce can accomplish, such as legis'ation. Some other speakers showed wleI C every city in Alaska has its chamber and MT. Cochran said there hal b,'n always apparently lack of solid.ty amongst the Nome people who shout l be most interested in the we far, of their district. He and the other speakers. however, seemed to think that a new order of things Is about to be created.
