OF ALL the diserputable
looking gatherings that
have taken place in Alaska,
the Hard Time social
staged by the Aurora Bor
ealis class of the Presbyterian Sunday
school has a fair chance of winning
the first prize, which Is only saying
that the affair was sucessful. J. V.
Padden and Miss Edna Morris won
the prizes for being the best sustained
characters. Mr. Padden surely looked
like the real thing in the tramp line.
Miss Morris acted the part of the lady
sheriff, who, with the aid of a com
petent judge made that poverty strick
en crowd disgorge $20.50 in fines. The
wretches were fined for everything
from having a filled tooth to gambling.
It may be hard to believe but Miss
Mildred Graham and Mr. William An
derson received prizes for being dress
ed more poorly than the rest even.
There was nothing poor about the
eats, nowever. rnose present were
Mrs. Chester Mellison, Mrs. H. Mail
lard, Mrs. A. G. Shriver, Mrs. J. Beld
ing, Mrs. J. J. Fraisure, Miss Loura
Bacon, Miss Mildred Graham, Miss
Thelma MacConnell, Miss Harriett

Thoroughly out of patience with the
weather conditions in Cordova, a con
genial crowd searched the bay last
Sunday for a dry camping ground
which was found at the head of Sheep
bay. After a pleasant day spent on a
tiny lake encased by high mountains
and calculating that the rain storm
was probably over in Cordova, they
returned in the evening, weary but sat
isfied. Those making the trip were
Mrs. Funk, Miss Sophie Sjoberg, Miss
Marget Kolbenson, Miss Hilda John
son, Mr. William Campbell, Mr. Will
iam Nye, Mr. James Sheridan and Mr.
Ivan Suphellen.

On Wednesday last, Mr. William
Thomas Saffer and Miss Maude Lison
bee were united in marriage by Com
missioner R. H. L. Noaks. Mrs. J. T.
Cunningham and Mr. Orlando Jacobs,
brother to the bride were the wit
nesses. After the ceremony, a dainty
wedding breakfast was served. The
bridegroom is at present proprietor
of a barber shop in Cordova. He has
been but recently discharged from the
army at Fort Liscum, where he was a
member of the hospital corps and is
remembered for his valuable work
during the flu epidemic last winter.
The bride is the well-known and popu
lar manager of the Cordova Grill. The
couple are receiving the congratula
tions and best wishes of their many
friends in Cordova.

Rather enforced, but no less jolly
on that account, was the party that
went out to the Pinnacle Rock can
nery with the bear hunters last Sun
day and found themselves unable to
return until Tuesday. In this party
were Dr. and Mrs. Charles Daggett
and children, Mrs. Helen Bell, Mrs.
Richmond and Dr. German.

Mr. Charles Rogers, our genial fel- 1
low-townsman, wishes to inform that '
part of the Cordova public inclined to
go fishing that there isn't any use for
them to fish at the source of ESyak 1
river; for, as he naively puts it, ho 1
and his party last Sunday fished the
river clean. When pressed to tell how
many fish the river contained before 1
it was raided, Mr. Rogers placed the 1
estimate liberally at about twenty-five. 1
Those who aided in this work of an- ^
fiihilatlon were Miss Ellen Fraisure, 1
Miss Charlotte Bacon and Mr. Wilcox.

Its odd, but Harry Kavanaugh, our a
popular deputy marshal, has a deep a
aversion to sitting down on the up- i
turned point of a lady’s hat-pin. 1

On Wednesday, Charles D. Wood
rum was wedded to Mrs. Verda Pearl
Hagen by Commissioner R. L. 11.
Noaks. Sergeant Earnest P. Kinloek,
of the signal corps, gave the bride
away. After the ceremony, a delicious
wedding breakfast was partaken of at
the Alaskan Grill. The bride, who ar
rived on the last trip of the Alameda,
is a charming young woman, and was
formerly a resident of Columbus,
Ohio. The bridegroom is the operator
in charge of the telegraph station at
Hogan, Alaska. The happy couple
will leave for their new home on Mon
day and will carry with them the well
wishes of the people of Cordova.

Anyone passing dockwards early
Thursday afternoon would have wit
nessed a pretty scene, for several
charming young ladies of Cordova, as
sisted by the Reverend E. P. Zeigler

at the base of the memorial. The girls,
so kindly donating their services, were
Miss Harriett Anderson, Miss Thelma

awaiting the return of her husband
from Anchorage. Mr. Valear was a

went into the Matanuska country late
ly to further the development of the
Willow creek mining country.
* * *
Now that the Victory loan drive is
a thing of the past and Cordova has
climbed safely over the top, it may be
of interest to know that fifty-nine per
cent of the money raised in Cordova
and the Copper river valley district
was raised by the women workers in
these regions. Also, for thirty-nine per
cent of the entire amount raised in the
United States credit must be given to
the efforts of the women of the
country.
