 The best possible mail service for Alaska is it's only concern, and il does not care how much the Gov ernment sees fit to pay for that service, was the position taken to- day by the Chamber of Commerce It approved a resolution of tho Executive Committee instructing u, Legislative Committee to telegraph the Postmaster General protestin against revocation of new mail con. tracts. , Other Chambers Of Commerce of Alaska will be asked to take a similar action at once. It is under stood here, it was explained, that revocation of tho new contracts, as demanded recently by Delegate Sutherland, would mean the discon- tinuance of the post mail service, . furnished aboard ship by the Alas ka Line and Admiral Line during the past four years.
 Seeks Chamber Representative
 An invitation was extended by the Alaska Department of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce to the local Chamber to send a represen- tative to participate in the caravan tour from Vancouver to Hazelton, F. C., next June over a highway that will form a section Of the Pacific-Yukon Highway when that project is realized
 Gov. Parks, the Chamber was in- formed, will not be able to join the caravan at Vancouver, but plans to meet it at Hazelton. Maj. Nal colm Elliott, President of hte Alas ka Road Commission, urged the Chamber to accept the Seattle invi- tation. He will accompany the caravan representing the Alaska Road Commission and the Territory generally rather than any particular town.
 Will Present Protest
 In letter to the Chamber, Sena- tor Hiram Bingham, Chairman of the Committee on Territories, ac- knowledged receipt of a resolution sent him by the local organization protesting against amending the Alaska Game Law to permit search of persons and property without a search warrant. He said he would take great pleasure in presenting the resolution to the Senate.
 Preservation of Glacier High way free from the "signboard nui- sance' was emphasized by Maj. Elliott In the States, commercial organizations have launched an ac- tive campaign to rid highways of signboards that cost large sums of money to erect. So far, he point ed out, there has been little of this sort of billboard advertising in this vicinity, but there are indi- cations that it may become exten- sive. He suggests that the Cham Der sound out individual merchants on the matter and take any steps possible to curb signboard erec- ton on Glacier Highway. Tour ists do not come to Alaska to see signboards but for the wonderful scenery of the country" he de- clared.
 Committee is Named :. H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the Cleanup Committee, announced the appointment of a special Commit tee to Award Prizes. It is composed of H. VanderLeest, Mrs. E. J. White and Mrs. Marie Drake. Anyone desiring to enter for any of the prizes offered in the annual clean up and Paintup Campaign, can communicate with MT. Faulkner or any member of the special Com mittee, he said.
 The campaign, launched Tues day, is getting well under way, he said. All of the organizations en- rolled for the work are cooperating enthusiastically. The City trucks will haul off debris anytime during the next month if it is piled along the streetside where it can be load ed. He urged that this part of the campaign be completed as ra- pidly as possible as it costs exces- sively if it is long drawn out.
