Transfer Is Observed at Chamber Meeting

William Seward who, as Secretary of State, negotiated for the pur- chase of Alaska in 1867, was pictur- ed as a true empire builder by Eo- ward Keithahn, curator of the Ter ritorial museum, who addressed the 1 Chamber of Commerce meeting III | commemoration of the transfer ol Alaska from Russia on October Is, 1867.
 Keithahn said that the treaty and formal transfer was only the beginning of Stewards worries for 1t was over a year later that Congress finally appropriated the funds to pay for the Territory. The curator quoted Congressman Ben Butler, who objected violently to the pur- chase. Butler said that if the Uni ted States was purchasing Alaska as a gesture of friendship to Rus sia it would be far more economical to give Russian $7,200,000 and let her keep Stewards Ice Box.
 Notwithstanding Buffers dire predictions on the cost of maintain ing the Territory, Keithahn said that Alaska's purchase was the worlds greatest bargain, even though the fact may not be fully realized for another 100 years. Ill concluding, the museum curator suggested that Alaska Day should be celebrated as Alaska Bargain Day with the merchants cccperat- ing with citywide sales.
 HOUSE BILL APPROVED
 Chamber members voted against a measure adopted by the executive board on House Bill 5135 introduced Iy Delegate E. L. Bartlett which provides that ali fines collected by U. S. Commissioners in Alaska for traffic fines be deposited in the Territorial treasury to the credit of a special fund for the Territorial Highway Patrol system. The am endment put on the floor by the ex- ccutive board was that the money should be deposited to the motor fuel tax fund. The Chamber ap- proved the bill and defeated the amendment.
 Wage StabilizatiOn
 The Chamber has requested that an Alaska regional office of the Wage Stabilization Board be estab- lished in the Territory as such an office is needed to service the Board requirements for Alaska merchants and industry. Franz Nagel has been named as chairman of a com mitte to study ways and means of establishing an office here.
 Two other special committees were formed. Members of the Outer Drive committee are Harold Foss, Norman Banfield, and A. F. Ghig- Hone.
