CORDOVA S GOOD FORTUNE IN
\ SECURING BIG RADIO STATION
— ■■ .
CORDOVA is to be congratulated upon its selection as one
of the sites for the construction of a big naval radio
station. The good news was received yesterday from
Washington in a telegram sent by our townsman, Geo. C. Haze
let, to the local Chamber of Commerce, of which organization
he is the president and accredited representative at the national
capital. This means more to the town than possibly appears on
the surface, and it Mr. Hazelet is in any way responsible for
having brought it about he is entitled to a full measure of
credit.
Even since last summer it has been known that the Navy
Deparement contemplated the building of six of the largest
aerial stations in existence, five of said plants to be located at
strategic points in the states and one in Alaska, to form a part
ot a naval system in the event of war. Commander Taylor, of
the cruiser Buffalo, was delegated to make an investigation of
conditions along Prince William Sound and to re commend the
most suitable site. This he did and the honor fell to Cordova.
The new plant, which it is said will b<‘ about ten times as.
large and powerful as the present navy station at Whiteshed
is to be located at Mile Id, along the Copper River & North
western railway. The selection of this site is believed by manv
to be significant, in relation to government railroad construction
in Alaska. We are informed by Mr. Hazelet that work on the
aerial plant is to begin in June. This means that one of the
cruisers will be in our harbor most of the coming summer, and
thus Cordova is to derive a great and immediate benefit, as was
evidenced by the short stay of the Buffalo in local port last
year.

PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS CULLED
FROM NEWSPAPERS OF TERRITORY
..
■ —— „.„i»
Alaska is the only part of the United States where
eight hours does not wholly prevail underground- There’s a
reason—a scabby one.—Nome Industrial Worker
——-:o:-—
Secretary Lane has written Father Duncan asking his co
operation with the agents of the government for the welfare of
the Metlakahtlans. The spirit of the letter shows the bigness of
Secretary Lane and' the further fact that lie is thoroughly
iamiliar with the conditions.—Juneau Dispatch.
--:o:
The governments really like all governments, has a failing
for picking the most harmless specimens of all the- human race
to investigate us harmless in the sense that they are incapaci
tated b\ youth, inexperience and everything else but impudence
to see what ought to lx- seen or to close their eyes to tin- rest.
—Seward Gateway.
Apparanetly there is no public encouragement to be given
the laboring man in Alaska except along certain prescribed
lines. Imagine the feelings of those fellows at Wrangell the
other night when, after have burgled a store and carried off a
three hundred pound safe, they opened it and found it contained
nothing but a disabled watch, a brass finger ring and two town
warrants—Skagway Alaskan.
---;o:-—
Any one who has thought seriously of 'he matter will now
admit that the federal plan for seperating t 1“ Alaskan Indian
from liquor is a flat, dismal failure in so fa as the natives are
concerned, and an infernal nuisance to the white men who are
forced to spend days and months of valuable time listening to
the foolish tales. And now for Alaskans to ask that still fur
ther technicalities be tacked on to the matter looks like the
climax of folly.—Douglas News
-:o
A Cordova exchange, under a three-column head, records
the fact that the commissioner there was fined $10 for assaulting
another resident whose name is not mentioned. Reading be
tween the lines it would appear that the commissioner had been
involved with the writer of the story and that the latter had
been slightly worsted in the encounter. Attorney for the de
fense gave notice of appeal.—Nome Nugget
-:o:
A few days ago a local dispatch declared that the govern
ment would not consider the purchase of the Copper River rail
road. This must be wrong, for recently the Engineering com
mission sent a man to Cordova to remain for the winter, watch
ing snow conditions along the line of the road. However, it is
quite certain that tin- government prefers the Broad Pass lint-,
and if there is to be only one road constructed, it is to be ex
pected that li will come that way.—Fairbanks Citizen.
-;o:
In almost every town in Alaska today where two or more
newspapers are published tin- people are treated to a veritable
bombardment of personalities every morning and afternoon of
of their lives. Some people like to read that sort stuff as they
would like to watch two cocks fighting but neither the rooster
nor the writers gain anything. * * * Cordova has two [ta
pers which apparently spend a lot of time in the effort to dis
cover what each thinks is an appropriate name for the other,
and yet the men connected with those papers are all nice peo
ple.—Seward' Gateway.
-:o:
It is about time that a general cleanup of the town be made,
if we want to be reasonably safe to venture outdoors. The class
of men doing the slashing and hold ups in the city should he
attended to without gloves. In the event that the federal, to
gether with the city authorities cannot handle the situation, it
would he well for them to call on a few business men and pro
eeed to a general cleanup. Everybody is exposed to attacks,
but such exposures can be minimized by a general roundup of
those whose presence in the city is a menace to our peace—
Ketchikan Progressive.
—-:o:
Delegate Wickersham’s argument before a committee of
Congress in opposition to the law regulating game and fur
bearing animals of Alaska, which would give a bureau of the
Department of Commerce control over the fox farms of the
North, and in which the Delegate took rather strong ground in
favor of a wider measure of self-government for Alaska, was
speaking by and large, credible, and should receive the endorse
ment of the thinking people of the North. There is not a (jues
tion of a doubt but that the fox farms of Alaska are matters that
should be unreservedly subject to the regulation of the people
of Alaska.
The Delegate in his speech, for the first time as far as we
have knowledge, gave approval, though somewhat mild form,
of the President’s suggestion that Alaska should have a “full
Territorial form of government.”—Juneau Empire.
