have done as much scouting
 and reconnaissance work as the subject of his sketch. MT. Cham ierlin came to Alaska in 1897, landing at Skagway in Septmebcr. For some time he had a pack train
 of twenty animals and did a lcary freighting business on the White Pass trail at time when such a thing as road was un- known. He was among the very first ones to get down to Bennett. He worked at this business until December when he sold his out , fit and took a position as agent for the Chilcoot Tramway Com pany on the Dyea trail with head quaterS on the summit. Here he worked all winter meeting the earlist of propectorS and miners of the Klondike as they went in and out that famous aWinter of '97 and '98. In June he resigned and joined the Big Crowd' down the river to tho klondike gold fields He remained in the Klondike country until 1900. There are few
 creeks in that country that he has not proSpected and mined on. In February he left the Klondike 6 country for Nome, going down the Yukon over ice He was on this journey until April the next spring and suffered much hard ship. In Nome he again went to prospect; ;ng and was one of the number who subsequently, organ izet the Bluestone and Kougarok
 mining districts. For several years MT. Chamberlin followed the chase for the golden sands in the Nome country but finally in 1908 can,e to Seward and since that time has been identified with the kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet districts. He came to Seward by way of Broad Pass where fe did more or less exploring and famil- iarized himself with the country. Later he was guide for govern n,ent officials in that country and the MataHuska coal fields. He ac- companed the Maryland evpedi- ton and several other special
The Seward polaris & Kenai Peninsula-Aleutian chain news., 1948-06-02

committees.
 In the meantime MT. Chamber lin secured him home in Sew ard and at the present time em- ployeS his leisure hours in the raising of thoroughbred chickens and also has one of the finest gardens one the coast. The fact that he has been electd three times to the City Council of Se- ward, elected mayor in 1919 and reelected in 1920, evidences the fact of his high standing in the community in which he lives. At the primray divisional election in April he was unanimously chosen as the Republican candidate for the Territorial senate to repre- sent the Third Division. He is a member of the Pioneers of Alaska having resided in the Territory for g years He is also a member of the Knights of Pythias and other fraternal organizations. He takes a great interest in the town in which he lives and is ever ready to do his bit toward the better ment of Alaska"
 As Mayor of his home town at the present time, MT. Chamberlain is ever alert to concentrate all public business at Seward that is possible. When the different committees sent here by our Con- gress to investigate the railroad and other problems arrive at Se- ward the Mayor is there with his automobile to show them the city and to render them every assis- tance in their mission. He has made close study of the needs of the community in which he lives and is walking encyclo- pedia when it comes to furnish
 ing information as to the condi- tions along the government rail- road for he has dogmobiled over every mile of it in the years that have gone by.
 In the far westward part of the
The Seward polaris & Kenai Peninsula-Aleutian chain news., 1948-06-02

district he's widely know as most of these people do their trading and other business at Seward, and a large majority of the old timers who knew MT. Chamberlain in early days. He is a close student of questions now agitating the minds of the people of Alaska and thoroughly conversant with matters pending in Congress for the veal or woe of the great NOrthland.

Tougaloo Gives
"Pygmalion
Monday, May

A touring company of actors from
the New York stage will be at Tou-
galoo College on Monday evening,
May 8, 1948. The company, called
Touring Players, Inc, will present
George Bernard Shaw's 'Pygma-
lion" in Brownlee Hail.
Touring Players is a company OF
professional actors. The group has
travelled extensively through the
European continent, playing for
both C. I. and civilian audiences.
The first American opening of Tour
ing Players repertory was held in
New York in 1916. After complet-
ing a successful run and a tour OF
the eastern seaboard, the company
went on an extended tour with
THE Importance of Being Earnest
by Oscar Wilde which played Ohio,
Indiana, southern Illinois, Kentucky
and West Virginia. reviews on the
road were consistently good, and
after playing over seventy dates,
they returned to New York. This
spring, both "Pygmalion" by George
Bernard Shaw, and THE Importan-
ce of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde
are being played on an alternate
repertory through the southern
states.
"Pygmalion", like its author, dates
back many years and yet has never
lost its crisp, barbed humor which
is always delightful. 1t is mod
ern fairy tale. the story of a flow
er girl cut off from high employ
ment by her common speech and
manners until an attractive but
bullying professor takes an interest
in her.

Campaign Still
Underway

Swinging into the last week of
the cancer campaign, the people of
Mississippi are warned by DR.. Felix
j. Underwood. Campaign Chairman.
that unless the goal of S15O,0O0 is
reached, many cancer victims will
have to go untreated. This goal
was set after careful study was
made of the minimum amount nee
essary to fight the cancer problem
in our state, said DR.. Underwood.
IF progress is to be made in the
fight against a disease that now
strikes at one of every two Missis-
sippi homes, this $150,0OO must be
raised"
In 1947, the Mississippi Division
of the American Cancer Society aid
ed 1903 cancer patients at total
cost of S113,250 Far more than this
is needed for the increased demand
for services by the society this year.
