ASSOCIATED PRESS TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS.
Entered at the Postofflce at Cordova, Alaska, aa second class matter.
H. G. STEEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CORDOBA, ALASKA, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1916.
GOVERNMENT MEN MUST OBEY LAW.
The ruling from Washington which prohibits government 1
officials living or working in Alaska killing game in
order to obtain meat, will meet with the approval of all
Alaskans.
This applies particularly to the railroad work now being
prosecuted in Alaska. Heretofore all survey parties have taken
with them hunters, whose only work has been the killing of
sufficient game to keep the parties in fresh meat.
While the miners and o]K*rators on the creeks in the inter
ior have been forbidden to kill game at all .these government
parties have been allowed to kill any and all game at any time
they saw fit.
When tin* killing was limited to survey parties ,the effect
on game probably was not noticeable, but with the pushing of
the trunk line of the railway through to Fairbanks, the hunters
required to furnish the construction crews with fresh meat soon
would kill off the game along the line.
There is no good reason why a man, because he is working
fortlie federal government should not be governed by the same
laws which control the actions of others.
It is just as easy for the men who are on the government
payroll to carry with them tin* necessary provisions as it is for
the men who are working for private parties. If they are in
great need of meat, they are allowed the same privilege of kill
ing game as is granted to others, and should not be allowed to
go farther.

THE DEUTSCHLAND VOYAGE.
There is romance in the remarkable voyage of the German
submarine Deutschland, which in the face of the mightiest fleet
was able to make the voyage from Germany to the United
States.
Great interest has been aroused over her departure, which
now is expected at any time. Added interest is created by the
report yesterday that the wonderful little vessel proposes to
add to her cargo of rubber and nickle $4,000,000 in gold.
The presence of the gold was the last thing needed to sur
round the vessel with a glow of romance. What tale of the sea
is complete without a treasure of gold? No ship ever figured
in the tales of our youth unless there was a golden hoard aboard,
and now that the Deutschland has that necessary qualification,
we can watch her progress and read'of her adventures with all
the thrills wTiich accompanies the stories of the most noted
blockade runners.
Regardless of the sympathies one may hold in the great
war which now is in progress .everybody will hope that the lit
tie craft, pioneer in underwater commerce, will reach her home
nort in safetv.

HUMILITY TAUGHT TO MANKIND:
Every once in a while, when men commence to believe they
are almost invincible, and that everything must yield to their
superior knowledge, there comes something which again makes
all realize how little it is we know.
The epidemic of infantile paralysis in New York, which is
carrying death and desolation to hundreds of homes, appears
to be absolutely beyond control of the best physicians in the
great city. Each day more deaths and many new' cases are re
ported', and no child in the metropolis of the United States is
safe.
Reassuring reports are sent out daily, but the deaths con
tinue, and where it will stop nobody knows. The state boards
of various states yesterday reported they were in no fear of the
disease invading their boundaries, and asserted they are ready
to combat it if it makes its appearance.
How they can overcome the disease which the brightest
men in New York are unable to subdue, is not told, and it is
reasonably certain that if the epidemic becomes general other
cities will find themselves in the same predicament as is New
York.

The freighter Montara, which for years sailed out of Seat
tle, has been sold to eastern shipping men. The Montara hus
had a long and adventurous career. In the previous longshore
men’s strike in Seattle the Montara was anchored in the bay
and used as a boarding house for the strikebreakers. Later she
was used as a blockade runner, and was captured by the Japan
ese in the Japanese-Russian war. Of late years she has been
tied up in Seattle for want of work, but the great demand for
vessels again has forced the old'ship into service. May she fare
well.

Baseball fans will learn with regret that “Old Matty” at
last has severed his connection with the Giants, and taken the
management of the Cincinnati team. While it probably means
an advanced salary for the greatest pitcher of a decade, it also
means that Matty is no longer able to keep his plnce in the box
and contest games with the fast youngsters who are making
their appearance on the diamond. He is only another star
whose light is wnning.
-:o
It now' appears that the longshoremen on the Pacific coast
ary unable to agree among themselves as to how the strike
should be conducted, and' when they have obtained enough con
cessions. There is moderation in all things, and it is apparent
that the less radical men have obtained control of the San Fran
cisco union.

“Villa is surrounded and capture is sure.” How’ familiar
are those headlines to the readers of newspapers. We were al
most ashamed to write them. But then it might be true.

The passage of a tariff on dyestuffs just as Germany hns
found a way to import them to this country' is apt to give color
to suspicions in Germany that the administration is prejudiced.

WHERE'S OLD CY YOUNG?
Speaking about baseball veterans. 1
vhere's old Cy Young? It does not;
1 |
leem so long ago since Cy was the,
eadlng pitcher in the American 1
eague.
Remember when he shut out the 1
Uhletics without a hit or run or a 1
nan getting to first base? Remember
he afternoon he shut out the Yankees '
without a hit and allowing only one
nan — Harry Niles — to get to first, 1
hat on a base on balls? f
Here is all we know about old Cy:
When he quit baseball he retired to
ils farm near Philadelphia. Old Cy
vished to lear the simple life, and al
hough solicited frequently to run for
volitical office he refused to do so.
finally, at the continued urging of ,
ils friends, he decided to become a i
•andidate for treasurer of Tuscarawas j \
lounty, on the Republican ticket.
We don’t know how the election re
mlted, but judging by the large num- i
jer of endorsements he received when i
le consented to run. we are certain
:hat a tidal wave swept him into of
’ice. More power to the old hoy.

■eived an Invitation yesterday from
John B. Foster, secretary of the New j
York National League baseball club,

Mr. Foster proposed that Washing

eastern eleven of equal standing, and
tiffered to pay all expenses of Wash
ington’s trip.
J’ost-season games have never met
with favor in Washington, and it is
unlikely that the invitation will he
accepted, but the question will he
submitted to the faculty committee on
athletics for decision.

Advertising ;
Not an Expense ^
ADVERTISING IS AN
INVESTMENT
Not An Expense, and Should Be Treated as Such.
Because It has been the habit of
some merchants to look upon It as an
expense, A WRONG VIEW HAS
BEEN GAINED. Perhaps the miscon
ception arose from the fact that In
bookkeeping it has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.
ADVERTISING PRODUCES NEW
BUSINESS — It SWELLS THE VOL
UME OF BUSINESS AND PROFIT—
* THEREFORE IT IS AN INVEST
MENT.
Only the man who looks upon ad
vertising as an expense, who Is afraid
of It, prejudiced against it, loses
money In advertising.
THE MAN WHO TREATS ADVER
TISING AS AN INVESTMENT AND t
GIVES IT THE ATTENTION AN IN
VESTMENT REQUIRES — KNOWS
THAT EVERY DOLLAR RIGHTLY
INVESTED IN THIS DIRECTION
YIELDS COMPOUND INTEREST —
AND MORE.
