OFFICIALSBACK
FROM JOURNEY
INTO INTERIOR
John W. Hallowell, assistant secre
tary of the interior, accompanied by
Colonel Alfred H. Brooks, director of
the Alaska Geological survey, arrived
in Cordova yesterday from Kennecott,
where they had been for a day or two
inspecting the great copper proper
ties. They made the trip on a
speeder.
Mr. Hallowell, who with Colonel
Brooks and Colonel Mears, chair
man of the Alaskan engineering com
mission. has been making a tour of
the Interior, is on a special mission
for the interior department, securing
information as to conditions in Alas
ka with special reference to the gov
ernment railway project. He cov
ered the entire line of that road from
Seward to Fairbanks, going over the
unfinished portion between Anchor
age and Nenana by way of the Broad
pass, which the road will traverse.
To newspaper men in the Intends: he
said that the country which he had
traveled over “was a wonderful one,
full of surprises to one seeing it for
the first time.”
This is the first trip of Mr. Hallo
well to Alaska. “I had heard much
about the country,” he said, “and
realized some of its characteristics.
“But it takes a view of it to grasp it
as it really is.” He said there was
a deplorable lack of information about
Alaska in the States, however.
Colonel Brooks, who accompanies
Mr. Hallowell, for many years has
been in charge of the Geological Sur
vey work in Alaska, and probably
there is no man better acquainted
with the territory and its possibilities.
He was a member of the Taft com
mission which mapped the various |
railroad routes proposed for connect
ing tidewater with Interior Alaska
and no man did more to inaugurate
the movement for the construction of
a railroad in Alaska than did he.
During the war he served on the staff :
of General Pershing at the front.
The Alameda is due in Cordova be-!
tween 9 and 10 o'clock tonight, ac
cording to advices received this after
noon.

Under heading of Public Buildings

improvements, with power to act.
The fire chief submitted his report
for the first half of September, and
was highly complimented by the
mayor for the manner in which same
was made out. In the fire chief’s re
port he recommended that a fire shed
be placed on top of the Donohoe and
Slater buildings to shelter hose which
would be placed there for use with
the standpipes, that the system of
lighting be changed in fire hall No. 2
and that a light be installed in fire
hall No. 1. It wTas moved, seconded
and carried that these recommenda
tions be adopted, and the fire chief
was authorized to see that they were
carried out. The fire chief also in
his report asked the council to define
his duties as to the repairs of side
walks, which was given.
Ordinance No. 65, entitled “An ordi- ■
nance of the town of Cordova, in the |
district of Alaska, providing for a'
dog tax, prohibiting vicious dogs from
running at large and providing penal- j
ties,” was introduced and read. It
was moved and seconded that the
rules be suspended and the ordinance,
put on its second and third readings.;
The ordinance was adopted as read.
Ordinances 66 and 67 were intro
duced and read for the first time. Or
dinance No. 66 is entitled, “An ordi- ■.
nance regulating the construction, j
operation and maintenance of coal
chutes, freight chutes, and other p
openings in the sidewalks of the town
of Cordova.” The title of Ordinance
No. 67 is ‘‘An ordinance to create the
office of city attorney in the town of

dinances were laid on the table until
the next regular meeting of the coun
cil.
The claims of A. G. Long of $2,100
for the fire truck, Blum-O’Neill Co.
for $5.85 and Finkelstein & Sapiro

for the O. K. slips.

city attorney be instructed to inter
vene in the city’s behalf in the com
ing suit about closing Burkhart alley.

that the rights of the public might
be adjudicated in the same suit.
There was some discussion but as
there was no second to Councilman
Lathrop’s motion the question was
dropped. There being no further
business, council adjourned.
