l It was also decided to look up the
 matter of securing for this district one 1 of the government customs mills for testing and sampling mineral ores. Appropriations were recently provided
 for this purpose under the provision
 that one such mill should be establish ed in various mineral districts of the | territory each year It is the hope of | the Chamber that this years appropria- ton may be secured for this district, l thereby affording the local quartz min
 CT and prospector an opportunity to have his ores milled at minimum cost and under conditions which will ! obviate the long waits for returns from outside mills and smelters.
 A special committee was also ap- pointed for the purpose of seeing what can be done toward securing a high powered life saving tug for the use of
 the Coast Guard in such cases as that
 of the White Bear, when the necessity
 for immediate action in saving human lives becomes imperative.
 The secretary was instructed to con
 fer with Customs Collector, R. w. J.
 Reed relative to having the customs
 regulation covering the entry and pro-
 ceedure of trading vessels entering the
 port printed and distributed to the
 masters or owners of such class of yes
 sels
 The Chamber also took the initial
 steps toward securing the Log Cabin. or Eni Club building on Lanes Way for a headquarters, through a consoli- dation of the two organizations, or in such other manner as may be decided upon by the committee appointed to confer with the trustees of the Club.
 Acting on the suggestion of Editor Rogers, of the Industrial Worker committee was appointed to interview the managers of both newspapers with a view to taking steps toward having war news franked over the government telegraph system thereby permitting the public to gain a wider knowledge Of the events of the great war and also reducing the heavy foliage expense of the newspapers to some extent.
 A committee was appointed with in- structiOns to make further efforts to customs house and port of entry at East Cape Siberia to the end that trading relations of mutual benefit may l be established without the local trad ! Ing vessels being compelled to proceed | to Nladivostok to secure permits.
 The Road Committee was also in structed to follow up the matter of l attempting to secure additional appro- | priations for extending road construc- tions work in the district. Among number of communications presented ! was one from the Bureau of Fisheries | adversely on a suggestion of the Chamber that number of steam | trawlers be placed in service on Bering l sea to assist the development of local 1 in addition to adding stable l of increased food supply to the | national food resources.
