> BONUS ON GOLD
ADVOCATED BY
RICHARDSON
A profit-sharing bonus for miners
of low grade ore.
A substantial compensation for til
v lers of Alaskan soil.
The establishment of a network ol
f roads throughout the territory.
In these proposals Colonel Richard
son sees the solution of Alaska’s
economic problems and the develop
ment of the territory by normal
growth. The officer, veteran of Se
berian service and former resident of
Alaska for 20 years returned from
the westward on this mornin^F'tfoat
to meet Major General Liggett, who
will arrive in Cordova Friday from
Chitina, having made the trip out
from Fairbanks over the govern
ment trail.
HIGHWAYS WILL HELP
“Alaska is nowr recovering from a
setback brought on by war,” said
Colonel Richardson. “And with the
completion of proposed roads and a
normal and healthy settlement of the
country, it will soon take its place
tnpong the front rank of American
Ossessions. The Alaskan expressed
himself against any proposal for
wholesale importation of settlers to
the territory. “Alaska must be peo
pled by homefinders who come here
after sober thought -with intent to
do their part in the development of
resources and for the purpose of
building homes,” he said.
Compensation for farmers in Al
aska is an idea which the colonel
hopes to see materialize. “The devel
opment of Alaskan soil will demand
hard work and determination,” de
clared the officer, “and those who en
ter that field should be rewarded by
something more substantial than a
mere loan, such as is provided for in
some northwestern states.
Dull u o rnuruoML
“A profit-sharing bonus low-grade
ore is another proposition which 1
hope to see favorable action on. Divi
dends derived will give great s-.timu
■®*lus to low-grade gold production in
Alaska.”
Colonel Richardson emphasized the
need of roads. He intimated that the
construction of additional highways
through the North would be one of
the results of the inspection tour of
-*Major Ligget and his party.
The soldier entered a plea for Tol
eration of capital which brings about
devek pment. “Some legitimate profit
is bound to result .\i all work in *
new country,” he said, “and capital
is essential.”
Colonel Richardson is optimistic as
to the future of Alaska. Stability in
enterprise, he said, will insure suc
, cess. And at this point the visitor
recalled a conversation he once had
with Theodore Roosevelt who, he said,
declared that what Alaska needed was
stability and continuous enterprise,
in addition to rushes and sectional
booms.
“J^velopment of the territory,”
concluded Colonel Richardson, “was
f halted after the rush of 1897 by the
Spanish-American war. Then it was
further delayed by the Nevada rush,
which attracted the miners who
■would have made Alaska their home.”
And the last setback, he said, was
caused by the recent world war. But
now, according to the colonel, the
territory is well on the road to stab
ility and economic development.
Colonel Richardson is making his
first visit to Alaska since he left to
assume a military command in 1917.
BOY AT NUSHAGAK
IS KILLED BY DOGS
* Denis McLean, a five year old boy
at Nushagak, son of Alex McLean, a
.^former school teacher and a brother
to Hector and Donald McLean of Val
dez, was attacked and killed by a sled
team of three dogs which he was driv
ing in company with his aunt Mrs.
Berglund, according to a letter re
ceived by the marshal’s office. The
dogs turned on the drivers and pull
ing young McLean off the sled, tore
him nearly to pieces before his aunt
could interfere. The distracted wom
an rushed to the lad’s assistance but
the wild animals turned on her and
tore nearly all her clothes from her
body before she could escape. She
ran a short distance from the team
and fainted. Upon reviving she ran
for assistance and when a number of
men arrived and beat the dogs off
their prey it wras found that they had
eaten the flesh off his head and neck,
and partially dismembered the body.
The woman says the boy was dead
^ before she got away from the team.

WOMEN’S BRAINS, NOT
SEX, IS WHAT COUNTS
Mrs. John Weir Troy of Juneau,
one of the great personalities whose
influence was felt during the Demo
cratic national convention reminded
Women in a speech she made at the
writers’ tea in the Fairmont recent
ly that sex should not claim prece
dence over efficiency, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
Mrs. Troy said in part:
“This new sphere in which women
are entertaining is not an alliance; it
is not a truce.
“It is women just getting into the
game.
“They must not be disappointed if
many women do not hold public of
fices within the next few years.
“We are only beginning and the
majority of us have not yet fully
mastered economics and government
problems.
"Women must go into this game
with the utter forgetfulness of sex—
not with the recognition of sex.
“Women should not be discrimin
ated against because they are wom
en; neither should they expect re
wards because they are women.
“It is efficiency that should deter
mine the qualifications of a woman
as well as a man.
“It is brains and character, not sex,
that count.”
OLD-TIMER IS
HERE ON TOUR
OF CONTINENT
John Randolph Watson, of Camden,
N. J., aged 84 years and a former
resident of Dawson, arrived in Cor
dova yesterday from Fairbanks hav
ing made the trip for the govern
ment, which he says he thoroughly
tenjoyed.
In addition to being a man of ad
i
vanced years, Mr. Watson has passed
through an ordeal that reads like fic
tion. When quite a young man his
face was terribly burned, resulting
in the loss of his eyelids, and for
nearly fifty years he was unable to
close his eyes. Considerable new
flesh was grafted on his forehead i
after the accident but it was many
years before he was successful in
finding a specialist who would under
take the task of making new eyelids
for him. And when he finally did
undergo the operation, his eyes were
closed for two years—for so long a
time in fact that it was necessary for
him to learn to see again.
But in spite of his years and long
period of suffering, the oldtimer is
hale and hearty and in full possesion
of his mental faculties. He likes the
Northland for old times’ sake and pre
dicts that the day is not far removed
when both the Yukon and Alaska will
enter upon an era of permanent pros
perity.
The following statement was given
to the Daily Times by Mr. Watson.
“I first came North in ’97 and, after
crossing Ghilcoot pass, descended the
Yukon waters from Lake Linderman
in a small boat which I built myself.
Three other times I came down the
river in the same way, and this is my
seventh trip North. When I first ar
rived in Dawson, I engaged in the mer
chandising business, locating first on
Second avenue and later and Fifth
and King streets.
“T was in ATrmtann in fho oarlv linvc
helping to found the city of Helena
and have a pin of the Order of Mon
tana Pioneers. Only a few now wear
that pin, as one was required to have
been in Montana prior to 1864 to
qualify for the order.
“I am now touring the continent
and am swinging this season around
a circle of 13,000 miles covering most
of the big cities and many of the out
lying district posts south and north.
My home is at 300 Copper street,
Camden, New Jersey.
“I was born at Standish Corner,
Maine, 1836. While living in Iowa
some years later I nearly lost my
life in a fire, and was so severely
burned about the head that I lost my
eyelids and suffered severe injuries
about the head. For forty-seven years
I found no one able to repair my eyes
and during all that time my hours of
rest were spent with my eyes wide
open. Finally I found Dr. Charles
Thomas, a noted specialist of Phil
adelphia who removed flesh from
my legs and grafted it in such a way
that it formed perfect lids over my
eyes. After the new growth was com
plete, he slit lids in the usual place,
and now my eyelids are such that I
close my eyes at will and my eye
sight is restored so that with the aid
of glasses I see well and am able to
read as well as any other person using
glasses.”

CORDOVA PLANS
CLUB HOUSE
FOR SPORTS
A great amount of enthusiasm has
been aroused since a few live wires
among the local business men got to
gether last week and proposed and
talked over the prospects for an or
ganization of an athletic association.
The proposition seems to have hit
the right spot at the right time.
The membership has already reac
The membership is already up to
the hundred point and there are
many more ready to join when ap
proached by the committee wrho have
charge of the solicitation of mem
bership.
The association proposes to take up
all sports in general and furnish en
tertainments by promoting anything
and everything in the way of sports
which will insure pleasure and enter
ment to its mebers and the public
at large.
Now that the success of the asso
ciation has been assured, by the
ready response of the Cordova spirit,
a club house is being talked of and
it is entirely within reason that the
project may be realized within the
verv near future.
An institution of this character
should not only have the support of
entire city, but it would be of
great benefit to the town in more
ways than one. At the present time
there is so very little in the way of
diversion that directly one gets a few
dollars ahead they commence to plan
a trip outside where they may be able
to dissipate a little of the accumu
lated and superflous energy. If
something in the way of amusement
were available along these lines the
younger set would be more satisfied
and Cordova would prove more inter
esting to those who travel through on
their trips to and from interior points.
This matter should be given every
support possible by the business men
and a meeting will be called again
in a few days and we desire that you
all be present even though you have
not joined the association.
The following members have been
appointed as a committee to inves
tigate everything connected with the
procuring of the location, erection
and maintainence of a club house as a
home for the association and make a
report of their findings and recom
mendations at the next meeing: H.
I. O’Neill, J. L. Galen and Geo.
Dooley.
Now let us all get busy and put
Cordova on the map to stay. Think
what an institution of this kind
means. Everybody loves a sport and
and Cordova is blessed with a gener
ous supply of real sports.
There will be base ball, basket
ball, ski running, tennis, boxing,
wrestling, ten pins, indoor sports of
all descriptions to choose from
ar.d once it is underway there will
be no lack of sources of revenue to
maintain it.
If you have not already done so, it
is up to you now to come forward and
place your name on the charter list
for membership.

“OTHER -MEN’S WIVES”
■AT EMPRESS TONIGHT
Dorothy Dalton is featured tonight
in “Other Men’s Wives,” an interest
ing story of presQnt day social life,
revolving around a society girl,
brought up in luxury, whose father
has died leaving her penniless. The
effort she makes to retain her stand
j ing in the so-called elite circle, which
is the only life she knows, is both
interesting and pitiful. Miss Dalton
handles the many complex situations
in a manner which proclaims her a
genuine artist.
How she solves her own problem,
and incidentally cuts the tangled
threads of other lives, is the basis
of a plot that is both strong and dram
atic. The settings are lavish, and the
supporting cast all that could be de
