 COOPERATION OF SEWARD

Mrs. Mcqueen and Mrs. Woodcock were guests at the Chamber of Con- merce luncheon yesterday at noon at which other ladies attended as well as a large representative body of Seward business men. Mrs. Mcqueen made a splendid talk and compliment ed the Chambers activities, especial ly in behalf of the Mission school district Tn part she said that it would be the endeavor of the society to make the home and school a real beauty spot.
 Mrs Woodcock, in addressing the gathering, said that she had attended many meetings of various Chamber of Commerce, but the work of the local Chamber and the action of the community as a whole offering to give land for the Mission school was the most interesting she had ever seen.
 Mrs Hatten also addressed the meeting and spoke of their wish to cooperate in the fullest extent and to thank the Chamber of Commerce and the citizens of Seward for the assistance already rendered them.
 Mrs. Flickenger, wife of the local representative of the Alaska Steam- ship Company, briefly addressed the Chamber.
 Superintendent Hatten spoke of the desire of the home to assist the Territory in clearing and preparing ground for the Territorial school so as to allow additional funds to be ex- pended on the building With this end in view, he said the home is willing to hire man to pull stumps and pile and burn same. He also suggested that another community day be held for the purpose of rend- ering assistance in clearing and grubbing the new school area. He stated that he would announce at later date through the columns of the Gateway the day selected for this work
 Following MT. Hatten's interesting talk the Chamber unanimously in- dorsed the recommendation for a community day for this purpose.
