 Definite action commenced today. u is declared the first step toward the greatest development In the history O. Portland has begun. The culmination of years of work seems close at hand.
 The establishment of permanent steamer line to Alaska is what MT. Will cox. newly elected a chamber of com merce director. holds as the first vital step. He suggests the line be started hy the port of Portland with bond iisue of sl.oo0.0oo to build three vessels. and last evening he outlined the means by which 1t should prove profitable.

sEwARp's FAMOUS PURCHASE,
Seattle Times.)


 Forty-nine years ago today the unl- .ed States completed the negotiations for .,ho purchase of the territory Of Alaska from the Russian government l For this empire in the north, ravorite butt for the near wits of the period, !this country paid the tremendous sum iof si.2oo.OU. This was held to be many times the value of the domain obtained. ! Last year. the trade of the northland. nearly all of which passed through se- ,attle aggregated approximately ssO.Ooo. GOO
 Al the conclusion of the years busi- ness ii had balance in its favor of ap- proximately $27,Ooo,Ooo.
 In forty nine years its products rep resented an aggregate value of moro than half a billion dollars.
 This Is the Alaska of the past.
 The Alaska of the future. thanks to the new era of development upon which the country is now entering, will sur pass the past as much as the past has surpassed the expectations of the pes simists who derided its purchase.
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-06-09

The Nome Chamber Of Commerce has found a ready resp0nse to tAe sagses- tion that the various commercial bodies throughout the territory unite In forming q general organization to be known as me ra.-Alaskan Chamber of Commerce. with fancsIons similar to those of lac United States Chamber oI Commerce.
 Without exception the Chambers of Commerce to which the suggestion was offered have signihed their willingness to cooperate with the local chamber and all present indications point to the future.
 An organization of this character can not but have an exceedingly beneficial effect on the affairs of the territory
 4 addition to yielding weighty in fluence in domestic affairs. a great cen .ral organization representative of avery important town and section should be- come a most powerful factor in further ing the legislotive needs of the territory. both Ut home and abroad
 The United States Chamber of Com merce. although comparatively recent organization. has long since become recognized as a singularly effective in- fiuence in shaping constructive legisa- ton in the national capital
 Being representative of the commercial interests of the entire country. it has been accorded generous consideration by pertaining to commercial legislation and has time and again been instrumental in fectlfying abuses or law and in assist ing in the promotion of laws of wide benefit to business and the nation al large.
 Hence. there is no valid reason 10 doubt that an Alaskan chambed modelled upon similar lines would have an equal ly beneficial influence In the furtherance of local legislation.
 There Is also reason 10 believe that such influence would extend even farther than the boundaries of the territory. for the reason that the body would Dc representative Of the whole of Alaska and. therefore. in a position 10 express the desires of the whole people in mat ters affecting the territorial welfare.
 In this respect IL would probably te- come a far more effective agent In pro curing desirable benefits for the terri tory than the legislature itself
 Rightly conducted il would constitute . power for good both in Juneau and Washington. in addition to being q factor of prime importance in the reg ulation of economic conditions and the -haping of the future development of the territory.
 Tn outside matters il would naturally become the mouthpiece of the people and at home would probably become the guiding influence in the major DOT tion of affairs relating to the public good.
 Alaska needs just such an organization --one that will be at all times in position to act for the people in all public matters without regard for d. vision lines or the selfish divisional in- fiuences which at present divide the territory into helpless groups without either voice or strength to assist the country or themselves.
