Before the session of the East
Coast Chamber of Commerce, which
convened in Miami January II, w.
A. McRae, commissioner of agricul-
ture, delivered the following inter
esting address:
Chambers of commerce, as their
name implies, were originally or
gained for the purpose of promot
ing the commercial interests of the
communities where the organization
belonged. The following are some of
the methods employed to promote
the purpose of these organizations.
The collection of trade statistics, the
development of new commercial en-
terprises, the influencing of legisla
tive action in behalf of commerce,
the settlements of disagreements by
arbitration, etc.
The oldest body in the nature of
a chamber of commerce, possibly was
organized in Milan, Italy. at the
close of the seventeenth century
The first in the United States was
the New York Chamber of Com
merce. organized in 1868, and incor-
porated by charter from King George
III in 1870 The eldest chamber of
commerce in Great Britain was or
ganized in Glasgow in 1888. The
most important chamber Of COM
merce now in Great Britain is that
of London, organized in 1881.
Until within the present decade
this country has been so far behind
Germany, France and Great Britain
in the scope and efficiency of our
commercial bodies that there has
been no comparison We were mot
in it" with the north of Europe
countries in having part and parcel
in the trade of the world, even Of
South America, over which we were
supposed to extend protection if not
supervision.
No nation has received so much
good from commercial organizations
as Germany. In the past twenty
years a united effort to foster and
win the worlds commerce to the
Teutonic empire was put forth by
education, cooperation and prac-
tice, and all who know of Germany.

While the work of chambers of
commerce, primarily, is to do every
thing possible looking to the de-
velopment of their respective COM
munities or section commercially,
the field and aim of the East Coast
Chamber of Commerce will be much
broader.
The Florida East Coast Chamber
of Commerce is to be composed OF all
of its civic, industrial and CONNER
cial organizations of the East Coast
counties. and in addition to giving
this section the proper publicity
everything else will be done to back
up this publicity by permanent
solid development The counties to
be included in this organization are:
Nassau, Duval, St. Johns, Clay,
Putnam, Seminole, Orange, Osceola,
Volusia, Breyard, St. Lucie, Palm
Beach. Broward, Dade and Monroe.

cations in Florida enthusiastically

Probably no ore ever found in In- terior Alaska was as rich as that taken out of the Homestake property recently by Joe Henderson. From about eleven pounds of ore he ex tracted no less than 5000 which would indicate that the ore was prac- tically 45 per cent gold. For some time the operators on the Homestake have struck spots in the ledge in which the ore showed extremely high values.
