 COMMITTEE 10
 HELP klASkA Chiehagof Mine Operator New Chairman for Se-
 allie Chamber

That the problems of Alaska will continue to be thoroughly under stood by the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce was assured when T. A. Davies whose Alaskan career dates back to 1897 and includes innumerable business ventures, was named Chairman Of the Alaska Committee for 1940 by Cebert Baillargeon, newly elected President of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Davies was President of the Seattle, Chamber of Commerce in 1886.
 He succeeds Edward w. Allen, prominent attorney and authority on Alaska who has been Chairman of the committee for the past two years.
 The Alaska Committee is com posed of CT Seattle business men who have an outstanding knowledge of Alaska and direct interest in the Territory. All of the men on this very active group go to Alaska fre- quently and understand the Terri tory's problems.
 McGcvern Manager
 Foster L. McGovern serves as Manager of the Chambers Alaska Department.
 Davies, who now spends most of his time in Seattle but makes sev- ral trips to the Territory each year, first went to Alaska in Septmber of 1887. He arrived in Dawson, where his northern career really started, in the Spring of 1898.
 He recalls very plainly the dock he owned in Dawson across from the dance hall operated by Alexan- der Pantages. He recalls also Kate Watson = Klondike Kate-and her days in Dawson.
 Tn 1899 and 1900 he was Manager of the Canadian Development Com pany, operating transportation on the Yukon. The company was lat CT sold to the White Pass and Yu- kon Railroad, and Davies helped and became the President of the Dawson and White Horse Company. He operated the company during 1901 and 1902, and many oldtimers will remember his ships-the J. P. Light, Light ming and Tyrrell
 Nome Business Man
 From 1910 to 1925 he was Presi- dent of the Alaska Lighterage and Commercial Company at Nome. 1 During that time he was connected with about 12 other companies in Nome at various periods.
 In January of 1899 he became President of the Chichagoff Mining Compay, and today operates the mine north of Sitka.
 Early in his career he was Presi- dent and Manager of the Seward Peninsula Railway which operates for 90 miles out of Nome.
 This varied Alaska career gives assurance that Davies will be well qualified to lead the work of the Alaska Committee, which is anxious to perform all possible service for Alaska.
