THE GLORIOUS WORLD.
Wlieii Copernicus traced out the plan of the solar system
and established the order of the planets to their central sun,
he must have been overwhelmed by the majesty of his discov
ery. But we receive notices every day that the sublkirt* ma
chinery is still working. The worlds are moving without a jar.
On their golden axis the worlds are turning; they are making
the journeys of their mighty orbits, and there are no mistakes
- nothing is forgotten. It was planned that when the earth,
exhausted through bearing the harvest, should have the cur
tains drawn and be given a long sleep, there was to be no for
getfulness. The sun from his far wanderings was to be recalled
each year; he was to send his beams to the earth to thrill it and
plant the flowers beneath the snow. A little later, the hardy
birds were to begin to meet and discuss their plans; then the
migratory birds and the first buds were to appear, and with
each day’s advance the sun was ablaze earlier and earlier above
the mountain tops and was to linger longer and longer each
evening.
The machinery is still in perfect order. Already the light
remains for us to board the cars when the dinner hour draws
near; the robins will be hen1 now very soon. There is no break
in the mighty order; the planets, the morning and the evening
stars are all pursuing their sublime voyages and could a picture
be made carrying but a trace of the splendor and glory of it all
at the sight of it the hearts of men would throb faster and a
reverence for the magnificence of it all would fill their hearts.
-:o:-—
The silver lining is finally breaking through the dark
clouds, and the outlook for Cordova was never more promising.
.-:o:
If there are any sidewalks from which the snow has not
been removed, tin* shovel brigade should get busy.
The mail servict bet ween < 'ordova and Kenuecott is greatly
appreciated by the residents of the Copper River valley. Then
are now two mails daily, thanks to the courtesy of the railroad
company.
-:o:
Europe surely begins to take on the look of having in the
stress gone mad, and in such gigantic proportions that neutral
nations will not much longer be safe, but rather will all be
subject to such a scourge as Belgium and Poland have already
suffered.

Anybody can make a weather forecast. If, during tin* re
mainder of this month the weather shall be warm and pleasant
and during March we have a few blizzards, with a little* more
snow, nobody need lx* surprised. As wo all know, climatic con
ditions in this northland are mighty uncertain.
Travel to the interior this spring promises to be heavier
than usual. There are many Fairlmnksans now in the States
who will soon be returning home, and the encouraging reports
from the Tolovana mean that many old prospectors and miners
will wend their way to that camp, making the trip via Cordova.
.Just what will be the outcome of the get-together plans of
tin* Republicans in Alaska remains to be seen, but one thing is
certain, that the rank and file of the party will not submit to
any deal that may be made in Seattle affecting the nomination
of a candidate for Delegate to Congress, or the election of the
new National Committeeman.
--:o:
It i' encouraging to know that the Kennecott Copper Cor
poration intends to expend over $7,000,000 the coming
season in the development of its mining properties. .Just how
much of this money will be spent in the Copper River valley
and on Prince William Sound is not made public, but it is pre
sumed that at least a portion of this big sum will find its way
to Alaska. ^

Residents of Anchorage, who are property owner and were
convicted of bootlegging, are now threatened by the govern
ment with the confiscation of their real estate holdings. There
is a question among some of the attorneys of Alaska as to
whether or not I nch* Sam has a legal right to adopt this course
of procedure. Rut then the government frequently does things
that on the face do not look legal and .just to the layman.
---;o:
The renewal of the contract by the gov< rnment to have tin*
\laska insane cared for in the Morningshh* asylum destroys
every hope that Alaska itself would lx* chosen for the asylum.
It is probably too late now to talk about it, but it is also hard
to keep silent. There seemed to lx* every reason in tin* world
why Alaskans ought to be treated at home when they need
treatment. The governor’s and every influence in the terri
tory has been used to prevail on the government to have the
insane institution, but a deaf ear has been turned. The news
is particularly disappointing to Seward, which had every
reason to hope that it would be regarded as the proper place for
such an institution.—Seward Gateway.
