CORDOVA, ALASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1915
A belated snowstorm drifted in on us today, but only
succeeded in increasing the moisture by the time it struck Moth
er Earth.
-:o:
Unless the territorial legislative session soon comes to an
end there will not be enough presses in Alaska to print all of
the bills introduced.
--:0:
The trousers are beginning to fit pretty well. Chicago
women held’ a political meeting and it ended in a riot. Men
could have done it no more ably. -
-:o:
The Cook Inlet Pioneera is the name of a newspaper to be
launched at Knik by T. R. Needham, who was formerly in the
printing business to the westward.
—-:o:—
A paragrapher in the Buffalo News asks April to bring
us a spring without a recoil. Up to noon today he vas still
being allowed to roam the public domain unhung.
-:o:
A West Virginia newspaper, in a burst of virtue, prints
an editorial on the “blight of profanity.’’ No doubt the habit
has grown much worse since the state went d'ry.
— -:o:
Look over your “tools.” A sharpening of knives, a turn
ing up of nuts, the oiling of bolts, the cleaning of rust and gen
eral activity in polishing up the garden is now due.
-:o:
A Fairbanks merchant heads a largo display advertise
ment as follows: “Special Attention to any Ladies Afflicted
with Montgomerywarditis, Bellashessitis, or any other itis.”
— -: o:
A much loved pastor has departed from our midst. Sut
tonly he cannot complain of the genuineness of the feeling on
the part of those who bade him farewell at the cars.—Tacoma
News.
-:o:
Judging from the small number of men the Alaska Engi
neering Commission is bringing to Ship Creek the residents of
the territory are to be employed in whatever work is planned
for the summer months.
-:©;
An exchange remarks that “the successful man roots while
his unsuccessful brother stands around and squeals.” Undoubt
edly it is a fact that human expression is largely controlled by
success in “bringing home the bacon.”
-:o:
On Monday next Mayor Slater will announce the appoint
- ment of his standing committees, $ifter which the different de
partments of the municipality will be looked after by men who
have the best interests of the city at heart.
-;0;
The most graceful thing the school hoard can d’o at its next
meeting is to re-elect the present corps of efficient teachers.
Their excellent work during the past two terms entitles them
to this recognition of their work and ability.
-:e:
In the Nebraska courts 500 persons are involved in a suit
over a bachelor’s $100,000 estate, to say nothing of the lawyers,
the experts and the rest of the hungry company. Cupid
could have settled the litigation with only a tithe of the ex
pense. • , ;
-:o:-—
We suspect that many a good bill now before the legisla
ture will be drowned in Oastineau champagne before some
committee, where no records will show how the untimely death
occurred, or who the guilty parties are.—Juneau Post.
-;o:
Cordova should have a general “clean-up, paint-up” day
with the ugly places in retreat. Some of the vacant lots are
not in the least creditable to their owners. Paint is also a
great need in places. There is a great deal of work to be
done.
___» _
The following formula ought to be good: Two parts
practical experience to one part of theoretical knowledge. But
they want to be “well shaken.” But no matter how valuable
a prescription may be, if the bottle remains uncorked the pa
tient, may die. Moral: Get to work. The pursuit of
knowledge, technical or general, is praiseworthy, but to ob
tain results you must work.
-:o:
When Secretary of the Interior Lane makes his visit to
Alaska in July, and takes a ride over the Copper River & North
western railway, and' learns of the great amount of tonnage
in sight and vast area of agricultural territory that a trunk
line from Chitina to Fairbanks would tap, he will be as much
surpised as are other Alaskans that this section was not given
the consideration due it by the Engineering commission in its
report as to the best route for a government trunk line.
-:o>--—
They tell us from the East that the recent great advance
in the price of copper is not caused by any increased demand
for the arts of peace, but that it is due to te insatiable demand
for war materials. It is used for caps for shells, for telegraph
lines on the long war fronts, for many uses on ships and in
many other ways to further the fighting forces’ work on sea
and' land.
The peaceful industries that employ copper are mostly
closed. Europe has turned from peaceful and is intent now
only on devising new schemes to kill men and on procuring
materials to carry on these schemes.
The hoarded wealth of years is being used to make more
terrible the tragedy that is fast making the soil of Europe one
vast Golgotha, and in leaving tho nations bereft of their brav
est and best men.
The reports say the Kaiser insists that he must capture
Paris. From London comes the insistence that there must
he no truce until the terms can be dictated by the Allies in
Berlin. From this distance neither desire will be realized.
It. looks as though Austria was going to be crushed, or at least
that Hungary is about to In* overrun; a« though the Turkish
empire was to be dismembered and crushed, but when the Al
lies take the offensive and directly assail the Hermans on their
own soil, after the experiment is pushed for a few weeks, both
sides which fought all through tin* cold winter will want to
rest through the heat of the summer. And that the fiercest
fighting will lie over by the first or middle of June.
