SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1919
TIME FOR A GENERAL CLEAN-UP
Cordova is this summer experiencing
quite a building boom, and from fif
teen to twenty residences are now in
course of erection, or work will soon
be started on them. It is also a no
ticeable fact that most of the property
owners are either having their build
ings remodeled or repainted, all of
which makes the town present a more
attractive and prosperous aspect.
These improvements are to be com
mended, and it is the hope of the
Daily Times that they will continue
until Cordova ranks first as the most
progressive city in Alaska, so far as
its outward appearance, at least, is
concerned. Of course, we all know
that the Copper River valley and the
Bering River region contain the nat
ural mineral resources which will
some day make Cordova a bustling city
of many thousands. As the develop
ment work now under way progresses
it brings us that much closer to the
time when big things are in store for
those who have never lost faith in the
future of this section.
There is one little matter, however,
the Times desires to call to the atten
tion of the city authorities, in the be
lief that a remedy will be applied and
the desired results attained. We refer
to the unsightly appearance of the
streets and the insanitary condition
of the town generally. The main thor
oughfare should first be put in good
condition for traffic and then fre
quently raked and kept neat and clean.
This would entail but slight expense
in comparison with the benefit to be
derived. There should also be an im
perative order issued for the cleaning
up and carting away of all refuse,
ashes and tin cans which seem to find
resting places where they are most
obnoxious to the public.
THE RAILROAD APPROPRIATION
With the signing of the sundry civil
bill today by President Wilson there
is an appropriation of a little more
than two million dollars available for
the government railroad in Alaska.
While this amount will be gladly re
ceived by the engineering commission,
the fact remains that it allows no
funds for continuing construction
work, as the entire amount is owing
employes in wages due.
There is a ray of hope, however, in
the bills introduced in both the house
and senate during the past week, for
$17,000,000 more, so that the railroad
can he completed in 1921.
Here’s hoping the entire sum asked
for will he granted and work on the
railway resumed on a scale that will
mean the early connection of Seward
with Fairbanks by an iron trail.
TERRITORIAL SHOTS
The Interior proudly boasts of the
farmest summer in its history.
Down at Ketchikan two rival daily
papers are cocked and primed to stage
an expensive newspaper war.
Evidently the boys of Petersburg
have been seeing some real dime novel
motion picture stuff.
The old saying that “they die but
never resign” has been exploded.
Didn’t the assistant United States at
torney at Juneau resign?
Every time a customer smells the
barber’s bay rum bottle he thinks he
is in a moonshiner’s emporium, from
the smell.
If we remember right, Judge Moran
was the legislator who used a parka
for a nightgown.
The washtub full of foam is what
it ain’t, sometimes, since Alaska went
dry.
Well, there is no reason to say the
sun has disappeared from the heavens
just because the Interior has borrowed
it for the summer.—Juneau Dispatch.

TO A DAISY
Modest golden daisy,
When you raise your starry eyes,
What are you thinking, I wonder,
As you gaze up in the skies,
Where those other shining daisies,
Strewn by the hand of God,
Glow in the meadows of heaven
As you bloom, dear, down on the sod.
Do you envy them their places
In the heavens so far, so high,
And long to leave your own green
fields
To join them in the sky?
Or are you quite contented, dear,
To bloom far below in the dew,
In the spot where God desired you,
Where you bloomed when he tho’t
of you?
—Annabelle Dennison MacConnell.
