It s a case of Heads, you win; tails
1 lose for this particular section of
Alaska whether we join the seceders,
or stick with the third division with
whom we belong. Fiat besides being
more closely allied by climate,- bounda
ries and natural resources with the in
terior than with the panhandle, we
would have statehood thrust upon u/>
soon if the dreams of south eastern Al
aska come true. Statehood means in
creased taxation, and naturall y greater
developement; but if we know anything
about state politics, most of the deve
lopement takes place where the popu
ation is most dense, and southeastern
Alaska claidis nine-tenths of the white
inhabitants of the Territory, so this end
of the valley would probably draw the
next thing to a blank in appropriations,
tho taxed at the same rate.
The question is: Do we want the
business men of Cordova to settle our
fate or are we going to express a few o
pinions of our own? NOW is the time
The Band Played-And Played
Amidst the blare of trumpets
and drums there descended from
the palatial observation coach of
the C. R. NW. one day last week
Arnold Akevt. And who is Ar
nold, and why the ovation, you
ask. Why, Arnold Akert is an em
ployee of the Kennecott Copper
Corporation, being employed in
the assay office, and for three
months or so he’s been gone.
Yes, but so have others gone and
come back, and no brass band
has heralded their return. But
listen, any one who voluntarily
spends three months in Salt
Lake City, where they arrested
a couple of senators for smoking
in the postoffice, and where the
waiters never ask you what
you prefer to drink—because e
ven the traveling men order
milk—deserves a royal welcome,
even to the extent of having band
masters such as Doc Gillespie
and Frank Douglas, whose skill
is rivaled only by Sousa,lead the
doin’s.
