U. S. MARSHAL ACTED HASTILY.
Wo have been informed that Marshal Brenneman issued
his now famous order prohibiting the shipment of liquor from
Cordova to towns along the railroad because he felt that there
was a threatened strike at one of the interior mines. Of course
this is a very lame excuse, but suppose he considers it better
than none. As a matter of fact, there never was a strike at
any of the mines, and not even one threatened'. ’Tis true the
employees of the Bonanza and .Jumbo mines asked for an in
crease in wages, and the Kenneeott Copper Corporation agreed
to give the men a bonus. This was some little time ago, and if
some federal officials were as alert to learn the true conditions,
instead of attempting to meddle in other people’s business,
simply because they are vested with the authority of a town
constable, there would be less criticism of some of their acts.
However, it is to lie hoped that the marshal has learned ere this
of his unnecessary alarm regarding a strike, and that he will
immediately rescind the order he was so hasty ii* issuing. If
lie does not the business men of Cordova should lay the whole
matter before the department of justice, in order that he may
be instructed as to his duties in trespassing upon the rights of
the people of this section.

Another steamer left Seattle yesterday for Alaska, and in
order not to be outdone by the other boats sailing north, is
bringing a large list of passengers to Cordova.

Now that (Jeneral Carranza has saved his face, there
would be no objections at all if he shaved his face. Maybe it
is those belligerent whiskers that make him so sassy.

Simply because there will be but one ticket in the field at
the coming municipal election is no good excuse for not regis
tering. See that your name is on the list and let harmonious
Cordova poll as large a vote as though factional strife reigned
here, as it does in many Alaskan towns.
The spring breakup is always heralded with delight by
the railroad boys, who are ever ready to combat the elements
along the line when necessary. Fortunately, this has not been
a particularly severe w inter, and little trouble was experienced
in operating the trains. The employees are thankful that this
condition existed, and propose to celebrate it by giving a dance
at Eagle Hall Friday night.

DEMOCRATS ARE GETTING BUSY.
The Cordova Democrats will hold’ their primary on Wed
nesday evening next, between the hours of 7 and 9 o’clock, to
elect delegates to the territorial convention, called to meet at
Juneau on May 24, when candidates for Delegate to Congress
from Alaska and Atorney General will lx* nominated; also the
election of delegates to attend the national convention at St.
Louis on June 14.
Thus far the only candidates mentioned for Delegate to
(Jongress are Charles Sulzer, of Ketchikan, and Geo. B. Grigsby,
of Nome, while J. H. Cobb, of Juneau, seeks the nomination for
attorney general. It is understood that there is a movement
on among some of the Democrats to secure the nomination for
delegate for Sulzer and placate Grigsby with the attorney gen
eralship. Whether or not this combination can be made will
depend largely upon Sulzer’s ability to control the delegation
from tlx* First division, thus eliminating Cobb as a candidate
for attorney general. Grigsbv will be able to come from the
Second division with tin* solid backing of that section for
either office, and if he and Sulzer form a combination it will
be a hard one to beat at the convention.

People returning from Anchorage report that town on a
cash basis, but little or no credit being extended. It is also
stated that prices have been cut this winter, and the camp is
one of the cheapest in Alaska.

The European Socialists are not without their compensa
tions in the war. While their brotherly ideals are shattered
their economic theories are put into practice in.the increasing
spread of government control.
Harvard students who are running motors behind the
.Flench lines have made a fine name for themselves and have
received many official compliments. But they have achieved
more. They have set the fashion of shaving, and the pointed
Frond! beard is vanishing from the earth.

Everybody seems to have heard of the Wiekersham
Shackleford frameup except the delegate himself. Far be it
from the innocent and' child-like Terrible James to get in bed
with a politician whom he has denounced and fought for years,
even though it be necessary to get a coveted nomination for
himself, but he has plenty of wicked partners who are fixing
up the job for him, and he may have to submit to this political
rape.
What a shame for James the Terrible to lose his political
virtue so cruelly!—Valdez Prospector.
