Boyle Remews Actw:tv of Local Chamber of Commerce For 1927 and Future Plans The year 19 was one of the banner years for the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and for the City of Juneau. The Alaska Ju neau Gold Mine continued in suc cessful operation, the fresh fish industry increased in value anil quantity; the Juneau Lumber Mills continued in operation for a longer period of time and through the efforts of the officers of Ton- gass National Forest, the way has been paved for the manufac- ture of paper and pulp in this vicinity, said Frank A. Boyle, Sec. retary of the Chamber of Com merce, whose annual fund drive started today. In a briei review of the past year, Mr. Boyle listed a few of the Chamber’'s various activities He also called attention to som:) of the work which the organiza- tion has in view for the current year. One Aim Achieved “For years,” Mr. Boyle s “the Chamber has been interest=d in securing a cold storage plant| for Juneau of sufficient size to take care of all of the fresh fizh offered here, but it was not untii 1927 that we were able to see such a plant constructed. During the last year an up-to-date plant was constructed by the Juneau Cold Storage Company through the efforts of Wallis George and 2| few associates and through the financial co-operation of a large| number of the people of Juneau who subscribed for stock anl bonds when called upon. As a re-i gult of this plant the fresh fisa business has already materially | increased and it is believed that it will double within the next year. With this increase in busi-| ness, it has been found necessar; to find additional facilities for the use of fish boats and other small boats making Juneau thei: headquarters and the Juneau Chamber of Commerce has a com- mittee investigating the possibili- ty of building a marine ways anl a second committee devising means for increasing the float space for use¢ of small boats. (t is believed that both conditions will be remedied during the year 1928. Enlzigs wLumber Mill “The fincreased demand for lumber induced the Juneau Lum- ber Mills, during the early part of 1927, to increase the capacity of their plant here, with the result that the mill ran for a longe” veterin life and other bitl dis {for the empioyment of a ary surgeon to study the | habits of blue foxes and ;»[ur bearing animals and | providing for improvement tricts in municipalities. “A special committee of the Chamber had charge of the enter tainment of the officers and crew of the German Training Ship Em- den and the Fourth of July Com- mittee provided visitors with the biggest of July celebration that the town ever had. Many out of town visitors were present including detachment from Chilkoot Bar- racks and the officers and men from the boat Emden. Aids in Financing “The Chamber endorsed the sale of the bonds for an addition to the Juneau Public School and all of these were subscribed for, a source of congratulation people of Juneau that they able during the year to the money required for neau Cold Storage Plant, neau Lumber Mills and School building. “The Chamber, during the year, distributed nearly ten folders throughout the The tourist business was greater than ever, although the number of stop-over tourists was not as large as in former years. “A special committee for th> Chamber had charge of the an- nual cleanup and the results were most gratifying. This committee attempted to continue its activi- ties throughout the whole yeur and it is hoped that with the co- operation of the residents that most of the rubbish will be put in garbarge cans instead of on the streets and sidewalks during winter months. Membership Grows “The membership of the Cham ber was materially increased dur- ing the year and the attendance at meetings was also greater than in former years. the Chamber that all business men, all .property owners and all others having an interest in the welfare of the city, become mem- bers of the Chamber and tne Chamber also extends an invita- tion to all persons having any- thing of a constructive nature to appear and present the matter for the consideration of the Chambeor at any of the meetings of the Exqalitive Committee or of the is a tho it to the Ju- the Ju- the City period than at any former year und that the product of the miil was increased nearly fifty p2° cent. In this connection the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce has carried on a campaign of pud- licity for the last several years, asking corporations and others operating In Alaska to use, so far as practicable, Alaskan products. During the past year thousands of railroad ties were shipped tv the Alaska railroad and the fish- ing companies purchased the greater portion of the boxes uscd and endow the largest observatory i during the year from Alaska mills, “The financing of the improve-| ments to the Juneau Lumbes Mills and the comstruction of 1@ new plant of the Juneau Cold Storage was indorsed by the Ju- neau Chamber of Commerce anl practically all of the funds were subscribed by Juneau people. Federal Funds Obtained “The last session of Congress authorized the building of a Fed- eral building at Juneau, Alaska, but unfortunately the bill carrying the appropriation for commencing construction was lost in a filibus- ter on the last day of the session. A provision for such an appropria- ‘tion is now included in the gen- sul Treasury department appro- ion now before Congress. Th2 hllllluva Committee of the Chamber is keeping in touch with this legislation for the purpose of Chpmbey,” ASTRONOMER SEEKS MILLIONAIRE BACKER LONDON, Jjan. Proctor, British woman astron- omer, is going to the Unitel States soon with the avowed in- tention of ‘finding a millionaire with a flair for astronomy.” Miss Proctor will try to per- suade this millionaire ‘“to bulld in the world.” “My earliest recgllections are of playing around my fathers great telescope,” Miss Proctor said. “Then I grew to be inter- ested in his work. After his death I was pitchforked into be- coming an astronomer myself. “A party of American tourists visiting Europe invited me to jom an expedition to see the eclipse, just because 1 was the daughter of Richard A. Proctor. This oe- curred on August 9, 1896, at Batho, Norway. The experience led me to study astronomy seri- ously. “My- favorite hobby is seeing total eclipses of the sun. My sec- ond view of the coronma was ob- tained May 28, 1900, at Norfolk, Virginia; the third occasion was in 1905 at Burgos, Spain, and th: fourth was last June, when I urging its passage at as early a date as possible. “A much needed improvement in which the Chamber has for years been interested is the con- _struction of a Government Dock in Juneau. Active work on this ~ project commenced in the fall of 27 and it is believed the dock will be completed before July 1 - 2928, “A committee from the Cham- ber also submitted data to the District Engineer’s office relative jo the improvement of Dry Pass, Frederick, Willlam Henry and the Gastineau Channcl “These matters are still un- consideration by that office Engineer wlill recommend an appropriation be secured. make a survey of the Gastineau 1 bar. Entertain Many Guests ~ “The Chamber has entertained ny guests during the year, in- the Governor of Alask, ‘and the members of the Terrl- " forisl Legislature at a banquet i 8 in their honor; the Rt. Rev. op for made my observations from an airplane at a height of 6,000 feet, an awe-inspiring sight.” —-—— ' WHITE LEAVES HOSPITAL Jack White left the St. Ann's hospital yesterday after two days' confinement for medical treat- ment. e Old papers ro1 sate at The Empire.
