CHAMBER IF COMMERCE
 LUNCHEON YESTERDAY

The regular weekly meeting of the Seward Chamber of Commerce was held after the luncheon yesterday in the Seward Grill with many members present.
 After reading and approval of the minutes several communications were read.
 Among the communications was one from the Fishing Vessel Owners As sociation, calling the Chambers atten- tion to the need at Seward of shel- ter harbor for small boats. Also a request from an author of a magazine articles asking for particulars on Sew ard to be used in write-ups of this sec ton.
 Reports of Committees: The Cham Der report on bylaws and also the rati- fication of the All-Alaska Chamber, were carried over because of the ab- sence of the chairmen of these com mittees. The committee on the dock sign reported and were discharged with thanks for their work, by the President. The Committee on Shell ter in the harbor, was retained until after the report received from Colonel Steese.
 Under unfinished business the dis cussion of the glacier stream and shelter harbor, was resumed. The Chamber has taken all possible action ln this matter. The bill introduced for the control of Lowell Creek, awaits a new survey by the War Department, to be presented at the next session of congress and the Committee on Riv- CTS and Harbors has been asked to survey the bay for the logical location to construct breakwater. The sec retary was instructed to follow up the action already taken, by calling at tention to the urgent need of some ac- tlvity in these matters.
 Under new business the abolishinq of the office of game warden at Sew ard was opened for discussion; everv- one present protested in a strenuous manner, this action. Seward is the point of ingress and egress to the westward and Kenai peninsula game country, and without question is the most vital point in the Territory for the efficient enforcement of the game laws, and for properly assisting the big game hunters who visit the terri tory. The Secretary was instruct ed to immediately wire the agent of the Biological Survey Bureau; MT. Walker, at Juneau, and protest the re- tentlon of game wardens at Cordoya and Juneau, while abolishing the of- flee at Seward, where it is most neces- sary.
 MT. Selby was asked when the new Chamber of Commerce folders could be expected; he informed the chamber that they were already completed and ] that he was awaiting orders for deliv- cry.
 The matter of the Secretary of the Chamber making the trip to Western Alaska Tn the interests of the town { of Seward was discussed. The finan- ces of the Chamber would not allow the expenditure of the funds necessary to cover his expenses, and it was urg ed that the professional and business men fthe community should provide such funds, as the personal contact feature of a representative of Sew ard, soliciting trade for the commun- ty as whole would reflect to Sew ards advantages, by cultivating the friendship that already exists be- 'ween this town and it's westward leighbors. All members were urged to end their support in this matter and ssist in raising the necessary expense.
 There being no time for further bus ness, the Chamber upon motion, ad burned.
