The Ass I s entitled to ‘use f it hes credited therw 3 i and also isih Hateir | ATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER| oF OrrER PUBLICATION AN INVITATION THAT SHOULD BE | ISSUED. | Cordova everal weeks ago, formally gested to th local Chamber of advisability of an invitdtion being sent by it to| other organizations of kind in the Territory to meet during the coming session of the| Legislature for the purpose of discussing the or- ganization of the All-Alaska Chamber of Com-| merce. The Empire believes the suggestion 151 timely and ought to be acted upon promptly. | It is realized, as Mr. M. S. Whittier told the| local Chamber recently, that the expense involved | fn maintaining such an organization will not be| small. There may be reason to doubt if the geveral Chambers are financially able to shoulder | #0 heavy a burden at this time. But thig is a point that cannot be definitely settled without a| conference such as that proposed by the Cordova club. Distances that separate towns, cost of travel that might be involved in annual meetings | of the directors of a congolidated Chamber, var-| fety of interests of the several sections, are none of them, nor in the aggregate, insurmountable obstacles. They present difficul it is true, but a full dis by representatives of all of | the chambers ought to result in finding a way to overcome them. The desirability of having a Territorial Cham- ber of Commerce is hardly cpen to debate. That there is a vast field with plenty of work to keep an organization ‘of that nature busy is generally conceded. Certainly no time could be more oppor- | tune thaw during the Legislative session when | there will be in Juneau representative business and professional from almost every com- munity in the Territory. The expense involved would be almost negligible. And even though it should be determined that the time was not ripe for such an organization, the meeting proposed would still be werthwhile and not without its benefits. ussion men YOUNG ROCKEFELLER FURNISHES $100,000,000 FOR AN OPERA HOUSE. For a long time New “ork has felt the need of a new opera house. it Wi conceded that the cost of such an undertaking would probably be so high that its income would not make it possible to offer attractive securities to investors, and it was discovered, also, that to purchase the real estate @nd provide for other needful things| $100,000.000 would be needed before the begin- ning of the enterprise.” Those behind the move- ment called on the rich of New York to find if a single man would respond with the money. The eall was not in vain because almost immediately John D. Rockefeller, Jr., came to the front with the needed $100.000,000.
