Cordova Is there Is considerable
Capital Place At the present time
For Officials citation throughout
Alaska in reference
to the removal of the capital from Ju
neau, principally because It is in one
corner of the territory. Several papers
have suggested that the terminus of
the government railroad would be the
proper place for thecapital and while
Cordova has not as yet put in a claim
for the new headquarters of Uncle
Sam’s chief executives It rests secure
in the fnct that this place has a future,
which we soon hope to see materl
Ize In the shape of n good-sized city
and that tthe capital will naturally
come here, in the course of time .

Hello Girls Hello, central! How
All Times many times a day do
Accommodating yon ure your tele
phone? Did you ev
er stop to consider the service you
are receiving from the ladies in
charge of the local exchange At
ways pleasant and accommodating,
when there may be a dozen calls to
answer at one time, these operators
never become rude or impatient and
are ever ready to do a patron a favor.
Then, again, they never overlook those
interested when a boat is in sight or
in fact with any call that they think
may be of interest to you. These are
facts well worth remembering, espec
ially during the holiday season. You

President Wouldn't it be a
Entitled to good idea to name
Honor the first new town
along the line of
the new railroad Wilson, in honor of
the President of the United State**,
through whose ecorts this territory
is to hnve a govorment trunk line from
this const |to Interior Alaska. We
would tlso suggest that I,nne and
Chamberlain would be appropirate
names for some of the new towns that
are bound to shortly spring up, as a
recognition of the gallant light the
Secretary of the interior and Senator
from Oregon, respectively, made in
behalf of the bill providing for the ex
pend! tire of $35,000,000 for railroad
construction in Alaska.

Many are According to a Fair
Traveling banks paper this is
Over Trail promising to be a
banner winter for
trail travel to Cordova, via Chitina,
twenty-three having come out last
month and a much larger number dur
ing December.
One thing that seems to be taking
many people Outside this winter is
the San Francisco and San Diego
expositions, which will open up In
February. Thus most of the peo
pie going out now will return early
next spring, many before navigation
starts.
It is reasonable to expect that
crews of surveyors to complete the
permanent locations for the railroad
will begin to go In over the trail
coon after the route is finally select
ed.

Plea For the Postofflce, dlrect
Neutrallty ly opposite the mon
ey order window, a
printed notice received from the au
thorities at Washington, presenting
President Wilson’s views on neutral
ity in the European war. The pres
idents, plea for the people to observe
entire neutrality in their conversation
Is printed on the circular In five lan
guages, as follows: English, German,
Italian, Polish and French. The gist
of the plea has been previously pub

worded in excellent language and sets
forth the various reasons why the
people of the United States should not
(al:e sides in ge'ting into a heated ar
gument about the war across the At

Is Acting Francis Rotch, one
On a Good of Seattle's represen
Hunch. mtive young busi
ness men, and step
brother of Thomas Riggs, Jr. mem
ber of the Alaska Engineering Com
mission, arrived from the westward on
the steamer Evans last evening. He
expects to remain in Cordova a week
or ten days, but as Frank has not as
yet tnken us Into his confidence we are
unable to divulge the mission of his
visit to Alaska towns. We have a
hunch, however, that he realizes that
there will shortly be some “big do
ings" in Alnska and he is here in order
to get on the ground floor. If he lias
the same confidence that we have in
Cordova we will not be surprised to
learn of a member-elect to the Wash
ington state legisalture, who Is none
other than Francis Rotch, making
some investments in Oordovn and the
Copper lliver valley before his return
to the Spirit City.

Fake Attention has been
Sale called to the deceit
Fur tive methods used by
some questionable
firms on the outside to dispose of
their stocks of furs before the prices
dropped as a result of the war. No
soonor had than the war started than
it became apparent to all dealers
in furs that the prices would drop.
Those merchants who were overstock
ek planned on how they could best
unload their stock without too much
loss.
It was within a few da>s after the
war started that a denier in bos An
geles put an advertisement in a news
paper of that city, in which he urged
people to take advantage of bis spec
ini fur sale, as, so he asserted, the
price would soon advance on account
of the war having stopped the expor
tation of furs from abroad, where
they were maniiTnctured. That this
argument appealed to many who were
“stung,” is bt lievcd certain, though
now they can get the sftfcie furs at
much less than was paid a^the "great
bargain sale.”
