HOUSE BUILDING CAMPAIGN.
I Ik* organization of the Cordova Building Association is
being favorably commented on by the newsjwipers throughout
the territory. I nder the caption of “House Famine,” the
Fairbanks Times deals with the subject as follows:
“There is a house famine at Cordova. The establishment
recently of a clam cannery and other new industries at the ter
minal of the Copper River railroad has created a demand for
dwelling houses which cannot be supplied and efforts are now
being made by those interested in the welfare of the town to
start a house building campaign in order that suitable homes
may be provided for the families of the many newscomers who
have found employment in the recently established canneries.
“It cannot be said that similar conditions exist in Fail
banks, although it is a fact that good’ houses are always in de
mand In-re, and more of them could be rented if they were avail
able. Well constructed houses, when rented reasonably, are
occupied continuously, netting good returns to the owners. The
trouble in the past lias been, and continues to be, that the num
ber of desirable houses is too limited and that too much money
is demanded for shacks.
“W ith the influx of people to the interior, which is bound
to result from tin* building of the government railroad, this de
mand for suitable dwelling houses will increase materially, and
at the present rate of building, it is doubtful if Fairbanks will
be ready to cope with the situation. We will la* up against it,
just as Cordova is today, with the result that the coming of
many families will la* delayed through our inability to provide
suitable accommodation for them.”

JACK DALTON TO LEAVE ALASKA.
Alaska is soon to lose one of its most picturesque charac
ters. .lack Dalton, the well-known old-timer and trail blazer,
win. has sold his extensive realty holdings at Cordova and will
go outside to reside and enjoy the rest of his days. The Dalton
trail over which stampeders in the early days rushed to the gold
fields was named'after him. He was among the first to locate
here and for several years a legal war was waged between Dal
ton and the railroad company over the possession of waterfront 1
property which he occupied and the company claimed for ter
minal purposes. After having threshed the case out in the local
courts, and while it was being taken up on appeal to a higher
tribunal, a satisfactory adjustment was reached between the
parties concerned, and now the railroad people have purchased
all of Mr. Dalton’s interests here, and lie and his family are
about to leave the nortbland. In their new place of abode,
wherever it may be, they will take with them the well wishes of
a large circle of friends.

JUNEAU DISPATCH TO SUPPORT WICKERSHAM.
Ed Russell, of the Juneau Daily Dispatch, has finally de
cided that he and his paper will ride in the Wickersham wagon.
Eddie has been trailing for some time, being somewhat blinded
by the dust of the Shackleford path he has been following, but
there has at last been an awakening and the Daily Dispatch will
espouse the cause of tlie present delegate to congress from now
on until November 7. I11 fact, lie so declared himself in a tele
fram to tin* Daily Times, received late Saturday afternoon. Here
is what Sir Edward has to say in regard to bis future political
course: “The Daily Dispatch, a Republican newspaper, an
nounced today that it would devote every energy at its com
mand to support James Wickersham for re-election on his house
record as the representative of all the people of Alaska.”

THANKLESS CANADA.
Pacific coast fishermen complain that the Canadian gov
i mment has refused* them bait and supply privileges at Can
adian ports. It is also reported that Canada has blacklisted
American fishing vessels in North Pacific waters. This is an
ill return for giving Canada free trade in fish in the American
market, as was done in the Demicratic tariff law, under which
Canada has nearly doubled her sale of fish to us, although the .
Democratic party, assuring us that free trade would reduce the
cost of fish, is now blaming the high cost of fish to the sharks
on the Atlantic coast. The American fishermen can help bring
Canada to her senses by voting for the restoration of protec
tive rates on her exports of fish to our market through the elec
lion of a Republican congress and president.
With the curtailment of ocean travel and the prevalence of
work America’s floating population is smaller this year than
cor before.
-:o:—
It is unfortunate that the executive committee of the local
Chamber of Commerce has decided not to send a Cordova ex
hibit to the Northwest Land Products Fair, to be held at Seat
tle from < tctober 4 to 14. • ither Alaskan towns are to In* repre
sented, but there will be no display of the resources of this
