CORDOVA, ALASKA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1(5, 191(5. L
CORDOVA’S CLAM INDUSTRY.
“(flamming” is no longer an occupation of uncertainty
and chance so far as Cordova is concerned, but one of scientific
nanagemeut and definite output. There are at present two
factories in operation here, one in course of construction and
several others likely to be established within the next month or
two. For several years the large area of clam beds in this vi
cinity lay dormant and only recently have the possibilities of
the crop been fully appreciated. Now it is being handled)
scientifically and is so abundant and the yield so uniform that
the Cordova clam Inis become famous throughout Alaska and
the states. j •
The extent to which this industry may grow has no limita-I :
lions. At present only the minced clams are canned, which pro
duce a by-product of clam bouillon for consumption at cafes,
bars and at soda fountains, just as beef bouillon, in extract form
or cubes, is sold. But there are other possibilities, if methods
to be employed are in principle like those which prevail in mod
ern packing establishments. Nothing should be allowed to go
to waste. Clams in the shell can be graded for the market, al
most its carefully its western apples. Shuck clams are also it
commodity as clams, and as sweet as the best oysters. Fven
the clam shells have a commercial value, for among other uses
they are applied to advantage its an accessory in poultry feed
ing, also in road making. When our factories make use of all
the by-products, which they undoubtedly will do in time, there
will be hundreds of thifty diggers at work all the year round,
and largely increased crews working in the plants.
SEEKING CHEAP NOTORIETY.
One of tin* greatest exhibitions of nerve was given yester
day, when Attorney ,1. H. Cobb’s political manager at Valdez
sent nsa hundred and fifty word telegram, charges collect, tell
ing of tin* fine speech In* made at Glacier City, and how he was
going to sweep the territory at the November election. We
have received press notices of this sort during our newspaper
experience in Alaska, but never before have we been asked to
publish an item advertising some candidate and also be ex
pected to pay the freight. This is purely campaign advertising!
matter, from a biased standpoint, and the Daily Times wants it j
distinctly understood that it will only accept it as such.
Of course there are some political meetings held which fur
nish good news items, and whenever we desire an account of
them we will have our regular correspondent furnish the same.
If Mr. Cobb desires to use our advertising columns to tell the
voters how dearly he loves them and how much money he will
save them by electing him to an office that carries with it a fat
salary, he will be accorded the same privileges enjoyed by any
other candidate. Our advertising columns afford the only op
portunity for politicians to have inserted what they desire and
for which they alone are held responsible. If the Daily Times
desires to express its views of a candidate or his fitness to hold
office it will do so, but it will not print any old thing that may
be sent us, neither will it pay the telegraphic tolls on such al
leged items. The message will be refused and the sender forced
to foot the bill. We are not running a charitable institution.
UNDERCURRENT IN “THE SOLID SOUTH,”
The Republican national committee’s publicity board has
the following interesting comment on the strong anti-adminis
tration sentiment in the “solid south.”
“While it seems improbable that the solid south will be
broken into this year, there is evidence enough to show there is
a strong anti-administration sentiment throughout that section.
This is especially true in the great state of Texas, where it is l
currently reported that if the voters expressed their real senti-1
went, Hughes would get the electors from that state. This is
because of the administration’s Mexican policy, which is vigor
ously condemned, not only in Texas, but along the entire bor
der. Proximity to the situation has enabled the border states
to properly measure the fatuous administration policy dealing
with our southern neighbors. States like Kentucky, Tennessee,
Maryland and West Virginia, where there is strong Republican
sentiment, are likely to express this anti-administration senti
ment, and surprises in this section may In* anticipated. Mis
souri and Oklahoma, two states ordinarily regarded as Demo
cratic, are also seething with anti-administration sentiment, and
their registration in the Republican column may be regarded as
entirely possible.”
Constantine’s “malevolent neutrality’’ is about as constant
as anything we have heard of in this war.
-:o:
With practically all of the territorial candidates on the
stump there promises soon to be some fireworks set off.
•-:o:
Just because it is a joint commission is no reason why the
United States should bend further to satisfy haughty notions of
Mexicans.
-— :o:
Just “watch the smoke” of the navy’s new battle cruisers.
They will have six smokestocks each, more than any other craft
of the kind in the world.
—- :o:
Have to hand it to Carranza, too, while passing the wafers
to presidents who have kept their countries out of war. He had
belligerency in check even when his country was being invaded.
-:«»:
Salmon is worth $4.00 per case, and a pack of 40,000 cases
could be put up right here at home, and yet our citizens are let
ting Cordova monopolize the Prince William Sound fish busi
ness.—Valdez Prospector.
--:o:
Itoumania better be careful that in following the lure of
national aspirations in Transylvania she does not bring upon
herself the disaster France suffered in too precipitiouslv seek
ing to gratify similar aspirations in Alsace-Lorraine.
