CORDOVA, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, April 21, 19157
That unsightly vacant lot or back yard' should be cleaned
up.
-:o:
Cordova has certainly gone “wet” during the past few
weeks.
-:o:
This continued downpour of rain is becoming rather
monotonous.
-:o:
If there are to be any .June brides in Cordova the fact has
has not been made public.
-;
Co-operation on the part of all our residents, for the gen
eral good of the community, would have its beneficial results.
-:o:
But two newspapers in Alaska covered the Willard-John
son fight by rounds—The Cordova Daily Times and the Fair
banks Daily Times.
-— :o;
Bulgaria’s double game, with the cards beneath the table,
is not likely to lead to an invitation from any of the powers to
“sit in” hereafter.
-:0:
London theatres have been compelled by the war to revert
to old plays, and for the first time in years Londoners are seeing
something good.
-:o:
The man who envies the other fellow apparently is anxious
for a lot of hard work, a little empty glory and an occasional
stomach ache.
-:o:
Why do some people love to tell of their grevances, their
sadness, their defeats. They would be more contented if their
mind was filled with agreeable thoughts.
---;o:
Reports from interior Alaska are to the effect that Spring
has arrived with full steam ahead. At Copper Center they
were planting oats bust week.
--
The rush to Ship creek has started in earnest, judging
from the large number of passengers arriving from Seattle on
the boats who are headed for the westward.
-:©:
A writer in Leslie’s says the next step in the program will
be the passage of laws fixing the prices of factory and farm
products. And the next, it should have added, will be national
insanity.
-:o:
The fair in San Francisco is making money, occupying in
this particular a unique position among the businesses of the
United States. It is not the victim of a tariff law, and war
helping, not hurting it.
-:o;-i
If the Orr Stage Company is sucessful in its experiment
with autos on the trail we may expect to see the interior mail
transported next winter, from Cordova to Fairbanks, in less
than three days.
-:o:
When disappointments occur, forget them; don’t dwell on
them, conceal them. If you insist upon being a grouch tell
your troubles to the policeman—the public is too busy with its
own affairs.
■-»:®:
There seems to be some difference of opinion as to when
Alaska will vote on prohibition. The Snow bill, which was
passed by both houses and signed by the governor, provides
for a secret ballot on the liquor question in November, 191G.
-:o:
The comedy is complete. When Willard reached the
Washington, D. C., railroad station landy Bob Fitzsimmons
and others more or less internationally glorious ushered him
through the entrance reserved for the President of the United
States. Youth again is shown the true path to fame.
-:o:
President Howard Elliott suggests that a new cabinet
position be created to head a department of railroads. This
might be a good and proper thing, inasmuch as the railroad is
the greatest American industry. And Howard' Elliott would
fit the job like a lake on the landscape.
-;o:-«
Eden Plympton dead! That means little to the present
generation but those with enough gray in their hair to remem
ber Mary Anderson, Mme. Modjeska, and others, will recall
him as an able actor of other days, when the “legitimate” was
popular and profitable.
-:o:- —
The sweetness-and-light department of the federal peni
tentiary in Levenworth has been reinforced by a formidable
company from Indiana’s select circles. The conviction of the
Terre Haute election crooks is going to lend to “The Banks of
the Wabash” song a romance which they never before found
in it.
-:®:*-—
The Oregon supreme court has just decided' a will case in
which the question was whether the testator aimed to “divide
between” or “distribute among.” There is a considerable
difference. The will “said “divide between.” That English
language gets us into a heap of trouble.
-- - :o:—
A Denver mother was haled into court for trial on a charge
of permitting her 1.1-year-old son to serve as a page in the Colo
rado legislature. The dispatches do not give the particulars
but weassume that the authorities were afraid the boy’s
morals might be contaminated.
Nothing authentic lias as yet been given out by the
Alnska Engineering Commission as to when the survey from
Mde 38, on the Copper River 6c Northwestern railway, to the
Raring River coal fields would be made, all “grapevine” tele
grams to the contrary notwithstanding. As to the construction
of this line, by the government, that is also a matter that is still
ill the air.
-:o
The president ot the \\ estem Union Telegraph company
says his concern is responsible to 43 state and federal commis
sions of various kinds, makes 3,100 annual statements to tax
ing officials, and, all told, has to make each year 17,7000 reports
to the authorities. Was there any time left to handle the tele
graph business? Some say we are not governed enough.
