George H. Reid and Sister Miss Eliza beth M. Reid Glad Stopped Over for Nine Day Visit

"Californians may like to talk but like every rule there are exceptions and I am one of the exceptions" said George H. Reid, business man of Cal ifornia, who was guest at the Cham Der of Commerce luncheon yesterday. MT. Reid and his sister, Miss Eliza beth M. Reid, were round trip passengers on the s. s. Admiral Wat son, disembarking here instead of continuing on to the Westward They will rejoin the vessel this evening en route to Seattle and home.
 Anyway, I can say I certainly am glad to be with you today and want to say have enjoyed my Alaska visit very much, even though it has been ] limited. I am extremely glad that we decided to lay over in Seward though I will admit when first we left the vessel we wondered how we would spend the intervening days Quite to the contrary each day passed has excelled the previous one in pleasantness.
 Since my visit in Seward ten years I have noted Seward has made sub- stantial progress. Your timber in the hills will one day be a great resource Just be patient. The time will soon arrive when this timber will be filling the markets of the world. Another thing I have noted with pleasure is that you Alaskans appear happy and contented, unlike So many places in the states where entire communities really appear morose. You are a cheer full set
 T am particularly glad to go back to California with new inspiration I am going to take back many pleasant stories of Alaska to tell my neigh bors, friends and acquaintances. In fact I have already written and sent out one story, one in which I said I was up here to cool off,. At certain seasons of the year it is extremely hot in California, sometimes for days the thermometer registers we'll over 100 in the shade-and very little shade I'm cool! I can truthfully tell my friends that while in Seward a ther- mometer registered 70 below zero; but that was in your local storage plant The little Californian having made his little speech, I will now set down.
 Which he did to the applause of the members. P. c. McMullen, presi. dent of the chamber, thanked both MT. Reid and MT. Cowles for their talks and acknowledging the cham ber's appreciation of their presence

After having made "a complete sur vey of business conditions in the lar ger Alaskan cities, Dave Napok. and Louis Casserd, of Seattle, have pick ed out Juneau as the logical place for a waste material and salvage concern. The two men will open a warehouse and iron yard in the near future, and the firm will be known as the Alaska Juneau Junk & Machine Co. They will be in the market for scrap brass, iron and scrap rope.
 Jens Antonson, fisherman and boat man, died last week in the COrdova hospital after having been bedridden over a month. MT. Antonson was born in Christiana and took to the sea early in life, eventually securing mates papers. During the war he was in the transport service. He came to Alaska in 1921 with his brother and has lived around Cordova ever since.

 The Magill one-line cannery at An chorage which began operations some what late in the season and which was not expected to pack more than 4,O0O cases, passed the 5000 mark a few days ago and it was confidently eX- pected that the pack will total 1000 cases by the time fishing stops. This cannery has packed as high as $50 cases in a single day, which is con- sidered very good record for plant of that size.

steady tone in today's early trading.

steadied up after the opening on con-
tinued buying of December by spot
interests or covering. December sold
up to 1856 or Is points net higher,
while January advanced to 1885,
later deliveries ruling about net un-
changed to points lower at the end
of the first hour
Liverpool cables reported that
trade calling and London buying had
been offset by hedging and Manches-
ter selling in that market.
The volume of business tapered off
after the first half hour and the mar
ket was quiet later in the morning.
December was freely sold at premium
of 8 or 10 points over January, but
after dropping back a few points, the
price again steadied up on advlces
from the South referring to the firm
basis on better grades. At midday
December was selling around l2.o9, or
