San Francisco Commerce Tourists Reach Juneal
Greetings to Juneau From San Francisco
 Trade Tourists.
By B. S. HUBBARD, Vice President Schwabacher Frey Go Chairman of the Delegation of the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce.


 More intimate social and business relations with Alaska is the message we bring to the citizens of this great territory Under the auspices of the Domestic Trade Bureau of the San Francisco Chamber of Comm cree there has been three trade extension excursions this year, one to South America. one to Mexico and this one to Alaska, which we believe to be the most important of all.
 At the very beginning of Alaska development some of the leading men of our city were pioneers and devel- opers of Alaskan commerce and ter ritory, thus there is a basic good will and firm foundation for a re newal of the old time interchange of mutual business relations. Due to a lack of direct ships from San Fran cisco to Alaska our business inter ests have suffered and the purpose of this trip is to make a complete survey of the situation and deter mine how we can alleviate this ad- verse condition for both of our com munities.
 Upon taking up the matter with San Francisco shipping interests as to ships for the Alaska run they tell us that the lack of return cargoes makes it unprofitable to serve this territory. We feel with the develop ment of your vast resources this con dition will be changed and we have already found in the cities of Alaska to your south there is probability of cargoes for San Francisco ships and we hope for a like condition here in Juneau and other cities to be visited
 The merchants of San Francisco want your business and this friend ship and good will excursion is to renew old acquaintances and make new ones and to offer the facilities of tte San Francisco Chamber of Com merce with it's seven thousand five hundred members to the people of Alaska on all matters and problems of interest to your territory generally. Formerly the Pacific Coast territory west of the Rocky Mountains includ- ing Alaska was vast unoccupied area containing the greater part of the undeveloped natural resources of the United States This is the treas ure house of the nation. It is being rapidly populated and

There is a great di- yersity of opinion regarding the size of the new vessels armament. In some quarters it is said she will mount gun of 12 or 13.5-inch call bre. It is possible, however, that the X-1 has been designed for high surface speed, enabling her to work with the Grand Battle Fleet. If this is true big gun would not be car ried.
