gloves on while doing this and
he said he didn't want to show
his finger prints on the

said:
''Pitts said he had received
word from one Of our attorneys
that the issuance Of . search

 Urbach tried to get out of it bel fore an unusually large atten- dallce at the weekly luncheon \ Tuesday noon at the Seward Grill N He said ne thought he had done his bit and craved to sit on the sidelines. Every body just grinned He had no sooner finished his little speech when somebody moved that Leon Urbach be re-Alarted president of the Seward Chamber of Commerce.

Tn the face of the inevitable he yielded grace- fully and thanked them all #for the honor and said he guessed he would just have to keep trying to do the best he can.
 Then Cal M Brosius was nom mated for president, and that was made unanimous. Cal tried tO tell them he would be busy mak- ing laws down at the legislature and didn't want them to cramp his style. But the steam roller was shooting on all six and he had to accept the office. There was no oposition when H s.

 The matter Of preparing q pam nhlet about Seward and vicinity N for publicity purposes was arain hroached and Chairman E.#P FFar- wood of +he publicity co~mittaee was instructed to speed nnand re- port after Treasurer Balderston told them that there was some money available for that purpose.
 There was a discussion of whv Seward weather reports are not in- cluded in the bulletins sent ont by the Signal Corps as other Alaska towns are reported There was al- so talk about ascertaining if it is possible for Seward to get place in the Tide Book of the Pacific coast as published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey of the U s- De- partment of Commerce.
