Friday's meeting, was a most remarkable document. | I'robabiy no similar organization anywhere in the I country in a town c.f equal size as Juneau can point to a more varied program, nor to more actual j accomplishments Ilian that recorded for th-a local body. There was noh.ing in that any member need : feci called on to apologize for. and I here was much j in which everyone can properly take pride. If the; Chamber is looking for' material for argument as! to why every property owner in the city should affiliate witli it. it need go no further than the Secretary's report. it is proof of the progressive spirit of the Chamber and of the fact that it is ready to go to the front at any time for the best interests of Imth the community and the Territory. The organization certainly is deserving of felicitation ' upon its splendid work in IblMI. I low 1o Enforce Prohibition. (New York World.)
