representative delegation of members of the Seat tie Chamber of Commerce is with us today.
 They mission of good will, and incidentally to further cement the bonds between the Northand and the Puget Sound metropolis.
 To be perfectly frank, the Puget Sound metropolis is the child of Alaska. Alaska gold built 1t.
 Going further, it may be pointed out that Alaska commerce has, for three decades been pouring steady stream of wealth into Seattle Last year this commerce. representing goods purchased in the United States the bulk of which came from Seattle, approxlmated S28,OOOOO0.
 The visitors will find Alaska at the apex of the commercial curve as it relates to volume and taking slightly downward course This will continue downward unless some smulant is offered to halt it. This stimulan is investing capital which will not only halt the downward course of the curve but turn 1t again upward.
 Until this stimulus is provided, neither Seattle any other commercial center may hope to increase its trade vome The trade simply is not here and Alaskans do not possess the necessary capital with which to go beyond it's daily commercial pursuits and thus create it.
 Here is an opportunity for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to not only perform worthy task but profit materially in the performance
 The last year has witnessed many valuable lode gold discoveries
 Surveys reveal that Aaskas placers while supposed y depleted for cruder methods of extraction, still rich in virgin gold only requiring capital to make them dsgorge gold in of that already extracted and in the United States. This approxmates S6OOO OOO
 There is still S6000O0,OOO and more awaiting men of foresight keen business judgement and energy.
 Seattle is our nearest big commercial and financial neighbOr. We willing to contribute trade but Seattle owes it to itself and Alaska to provide the cap tai which will make this trade continuous and increase it's volume.
 Thus Seward welcomes the business and financial men, the hope that it may be responsible for closer bond of commercial activity of mutual benefit.
