Prominent Citizen of Val deg Present - Cannery Official Gets Acquainted In Seward.

A number of we'll known out-of- town visitors were in attendance at yesterdays weekly luncheon and bus mess meeting of the Seward Cham Der of Commerce, each of them giv- ing short talks of interest. The out standing feature of their remarks was exceptionally lauditory to Sew ard.
 The meeting was duly called to or der, minutes of the last meeting read and approved; then followed the snappy business session which. under the capable guidance of President c. c. Hinde, was disposed of with exact ness and promptness. During the brief business brought to the atten- tiOn of the members, the secretary was ordered to send wires immediate ly to all vessels in the district, invit- ing them to participate in the Fourth of July festivities. President Hinde Informed the gathering that Joe Im- lach had signified his intention of bringing POO of his cannery employees to Seward on July 4th and asked that accommodations be arranged for them. He also said he would bring a Scotch bagpipe orchestra, which no doubt will add to the attractions of the big day.

 The first guest at the luncheon to be called upon for few remarks, was E. Caroco, president of the Cav Pack ing Company at Uzinke. He dwelt principally upon community spirit, laying particular stress to the kind in- vitation extended him by Mir. Sexton. a total stranger, to attend the meet ing as his guest. The honor was ap- prec1ated very much. Mr. Caroco continued, stating cordial greetings to strangers are bound to accrue much. not only to the chamber itself. but to the town it represents. In conclu- sion Mir. Caroco related his expert ence in Seattle the second day after he arrived in the States from Cairo, Egypt, 12 years ago. The incident was extremely amusing, bringing forth applause from his interested hearers.

MT. a Tyson has been in the territory since 1909, he said, but has only visited Seward very few times, ana as consequence, was not ac- qualnted with many of her citizens lie thanked the members for the cour- tesy extended to him in inviting him as guest and to meet those intro duced. He is on his way to Seattle ne said, on business matters. but ex. pected to be back in Alaska soon
 A. A. Bass, publisher of the Fnr Farmers Magazine, of Seattle. was q guest of the Chamber, stating in a lew well-chosen remarks, his happi- ness in making the many trips about the territory in connection with his business.
