Chamber Dinner
 Attended by Many

was very well attended.
 President H. F. Harper told the group of the past activities of the Chamber and that it behOoves each and every member of the Chamber to carry on the work in earnest, to talk about the actiVi- ties of the chamber and to take a hand in the work necessary to get the job done. Whatever the prob lem, it takes the combined effort of all members.
 Carl Lomen, who represented the Chamber in Washington, told of the extreme difficulties in ob- taining passage of the Nome Sea- I wall Bill. He stated that Friends of Nome" Senators and Congress- men in the Capitol City, did much by way of assistance in getting the bill before the Houses and passed Nome is indeed indebted to these men for their support.
 G. R. Jackson. who very ably assisted MT. Lomen in Washing ton, spoke of the work accom- plished by MT. Lomen and stated h the forthcoming session would require the services of MT. Lomen in obtaining passage of the appropriation bill for the break water.
 MT. Jackson also stated that he had received a report of a fisher ies survey to be undertaken dur ing the month of September and to embrace the district just south of and adjacent to Nome and the Seward Peninsula.
 He brought out the fact that this committee comprising him self, Carl Lomen and A. Polet, had been working continuously on the project for the past several years.
