Colorado Springs, Col, won without contest the next midyear meeting. and will entertain the western division dele gates in December, 1926.
 Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska fared we'll in the resolutions, all of which will be referred to the United States Chamber of Commerce for final action at it's annual meeting in Washington, D. o., next May.
 Alaska Delegation Pleased
 A big Alaska delegation, of which George D. Scofeld of the Northwest ern Chamber of Commerce at Nome was spokesman, obtained virtually all it asked from the convention in the adoption of a resolution favoring con- Jlnu0u Op6TdtlOu duu IIdintCHdASC VI the Alaska Railroad by the govern rAent under it's present policy, and of another resolution indorsing a nunbe rof other reforms. This reso- lution urges the government to pre- serve and improve the present Alaska mail service which the Postoffice de- partment has been threatening to cur- tail; urges development of the tim Der and wood pulp resources of Alaska now lying idlean1 going to waste; urges improvement of Alaska harbors where needed, and declares in favor of the retention of the pres ent protective tariff on fresh and frozen fish which Alaska interests are sesbing to have the U-ited States Tariff Commission cut iu half.
 The midyear meeting was the larg- est and most constructive in the history of the western division, offi- cers of the organization declared.

Dirigible To Arrive In
 Seward Next June, Says
 Head of Alaska Company

Prior to his departure from Sew ard last week. James c. Langley, head of the Alaska Dirigible Compa- ny, which company proposes to in- stall airships in the Alaska trans portation srevice, stated he was pro- ceeding direct to Akron, Ohio, where the first ship, small one, will be ordered. The airship will probably be sent to Seward in June, inflated here and makes it's own way to An chorage, which has been chosen as the logical base of operations.
 The cost of the ship will be in the neighborhood of $35,00O he said; it will measure 95 feet in length, will make speed of 40 miles an hour, with carrying capacity of from four to six passengers. With the arrival of this ship in Alaska, MT. Langley said, work of procuring the second and considerable larger size dirigible, would begin.
