There is a great editorial battle being waged by the
Juneau newspapers over the form of government Alaska
should have. The Empire wants a full territorial form of gov
ernment and the Dispatch goes it one better by demanding
statehood for this northern empire. And the Ketchikan
Progressive-Miner rises to remark that the paramount issue
is a division of the territory, adding:
“It will take many years—if ever—before the second and
fourth divisions shall reach the present state of development
that the first and third divisions have; and if they are left at
tached to our natural progressive kite- we shall be hampered
in obtaining that which we are entitled to, and that is State
hood.”
On Thursday’s train the weight limit of mail sent from
Cordova to Interior Alaska will be increased to 1,800 pounds,
ami thereafter there will be three dispatches a week. This will
Tiiake 4,800 pounds of mail to be sorted and handled each
week, and with the increased holiday business at the local of
fice it will be necessary to work twenty hours a day after In
spector Neil’s recommendations have borne fruit. That indi
vidual should be entitled to a medal as the champion postal
bungler and then be summarily dismissed from the service.
Even then he would be getting off easy.
The National Temperance Union and the Wholesale
Liquor Dealers’ Association are both reported to have big
gobs of money for distribution wherever the cause at issue
requires a little expenditure of the lucre. Wonder how much
will find its way to Alaska next year, when we do the wet and
dry stunt
Col. W. P. Richardson is to resume his fight at Washing
ton for an increased appropriation for trails in Alaska. He
believes that with the building of the government railroad
there will arise a greater necessity for wagon roads as feeders
to develop the tributary country and supply tonnage.
That Secretary Lane may be successful in getting an ap
propriation of $8,000-000 from Congress, for prosecuting work
cm tin* government railroad in Alaska is the wish of all resi
dents of the territory, who also want to see him promulgate
regulations permitting our coal to be* mined.
The Skagway Commercial Club is congratulating itselt
that it lias been invited to join the l nited States Chamber ot
Commerce. At present Cordova is the only town in Alaska
affiliated with that organization, which is tin* largest repre
sentative body of business men in America.
Tin* Democrats of Cordova have endorsed C. II. Scheffler,
of the Daily Times, for the vacancy in the local postermaster
ship, and as he has been recommended for the position by the
leaders of his party throughout the territory, Mr. Scheffler is
likely to land the office.
Falcon Joslin is doing a little effective advertising as to
the mineral resources of this section of Alaska as he wends
his way to the National Capital, where he will make every
effort to have the coal fields of Alaska thrown open on a
workable lease.
If the subscribers of the Daily Times do nof receive the
paper regularly we would appreciate your calling us up by
phone. This is the only means we have of knowing whether
you are being properly served.
The steamers plying in Alaskan waters are receiving a
great many bumps on the rocks nowadays, which is a force
ful reminder that more aids to navigation are badly needed.
Notwithstanding the fact that a large number of towns
people will winter outside, Cordova’s population promises to
be larger during that period than for several years past.
Serbia’s sad predicament ought to melt indifferent
Greece. London evidently thinks a good roasting will make
Greece run over the edges.
The local Chamber of Commerce is compiling an attractive
booklet, which will contain much information of value, and be
profusely illustrated with half-tone cuts.
The young folks were out in large numbers last night and
thoroughly enjoyed the exhilerating sport of coasting on the
side hills.
Thanks to the economic administration of the present
council the rate of taxation this year will not be excessively
high.
This is cabinet clearing time. Even Chili’s at it.
Carranza wants a steady, respectable border.
