Real estate is soaring high these days at Seward.
1 ■ 1 _• a* __ ,, ,
Mexican war news has much the flavor of a chicken ca?
in a justice’s court.
-— :o:
Again, we’re out of luck. Germany insists upon sending
Gifford Pinchot back to us.
--—■
Germans are said to be fleeing from Italy—a pretty good
sign that somebody has lit the fuse.
--:o:---—
England must quit taking so many “shots” at home in
order to fire more at the front.
-—-•: o:--—
\\ bile many people are in favor of prohibition, they do not
take very kindly to the local option clause in Judge Brown’s
recent order, re granting of liquor licenses.
----—
Statehood, or a full form of territorial government, is the
question that the legislators and Juneau newspapers are wrest
ling with, and the people are looking on and watching the fun.
----- :o
The sympathy of the entire people of Alaska go< s eut to
Bishop Rowe in the loss of his son, who died in Seattle from the
effects of severe burns received when a gasoline tank exploded.
-—--:o:
The American league season opened at Washington yes
terday, which is a gentle reminder that the local fans should
get busy and organize a team. The grounds also need fixing
Play ball* .
-- :o:
Today is tli efiftieth anniversary of the assassination of
Abraham Lincoln. The tragic death of the wreat war presi
dent on April 15, 1865, caused worldwide sorrow over the close
of his career.
--— :o:
Col. Roosevelt’s recent remark that he thought he would
support Barnes of New York for President rather than Mr.
Taft failed to serve as a demurrer in Barnes’ libel suit against
the Colonel.
--— :o:
Work on the new naval radio station is to be commenced
in June, and rushed' to completion this fall. A large number
of men will be employed and considerable local benefit will
be the result.
-:o—
The declaration of Chairman Edes, o fthe Alaska Engineer
ing commission, that the residents of this territory are to lie
g:ven the preference in the construction work of the govern
ment railroad, has the right ring.
--:o:—
In the cause of the prohibition campaign several noted
writers declare that no non-alcoholic country ever had produced
a great man, or words to that effect. Jess Willard is the ring
ing answer. He was bom in Kansas.
-:o:-—
Encourage everything that will rationally soften or alle
viate the serious side of life. Flowers, music, laughter, the
childish prattle of children all tend to bring into our lives the
bright sunshine of contentment.
—-:o:-—
An exchange is preening its feathers over its ability to say
that Villa and others did not quail when the United States
government set the dove of peace before them. But we don’t
see a great deal in it to crow over.
— -:o:
Swoboda, the America accused of being a German spy, is
incarcerated in a secret prison in Paris, the dispatchs say. This
reads like a paragraph out of the period of Louis XIV, when
swift and secret reprisal was the common order.
— -:o:
Cordova may not have been named as the first terminal
oi the government system of railroads, but the fact remains
that this section is the tonnage producer for a railroad, and the
Probabilities are that there will be considerable activity here
before the end of the summer.
The Fairbanks Citizen believes that the fire department
of that city is costing too much and' is making an effort to have
tlie cost reduced. The annual cost of the department is $22,
208. The Valdez department costs approximately $4,000,
with insurance rates slightly in favor of Valdez risks. The
Cordova department costs less than $2,000 a year.
-— -so:--——
dust as soon as the weather settles Health Officer Council
P'* I"'***8 to have a general clean-up of all the accumulated tin
cans and rubbish throughout the town. He will more than
likely set a special day in which all of the residents of Cordova
are expected to see that their back yards are cleaned and the
general appearance of Cordove thus greatly improved".
----:o:
A safety-first campaign now being conducted in busy
Pittsburgh is endeavoring to teach the public how to walk
right. “Walk-rite” signs are everywhere. Huge arrows
painted on street crossings and along the sidewalks endeavor
to guide the erring citizen into the paths of righteousness
and self-protection. “Follow the Arrow,” says the legend.
-: o:
In the opinion of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer Cordo
va and Seward will be rival cities, and should proceed jointly
to great prosperity, as the gateways to different sections of in
terior Alaska. Eventually the Copper River road will tap
the Tanana valley agricultural district, as well as one of the
largest and richest mineralized belts in the world, while the
Alaska Northern road will open up the Susitna valley, writh
spurs to the mines to the westward.
-:o>
The surveying of a ronte to the Bering river coal fields,
which we are assured will begin within thirty days, in order
to determine the liest way of getting that fuel to the seaboard,
is most encouraging news to Cordova. ft is a well known
fact that by running a branch line from Mile 38 on the Copper
River railway, the vast coal area can be most easily reached
and' this means bunkers and a smelter for Cordova.
