CANNERIES AT CORDOVA.
Yesterday there arrived ;it Cordova from leak 1 ..ilil) ca
of salmon, tin* first consignim nt <>f n shipment <>!‘ <>,000 cases,
are now ready for shipment 1" the outside. In another
part of today’s paper we print an ifein to the elleet that the
first of this veai pack to an i\ < a< S.-attle came from < ‘ordova.
'1'iie shipments llius far are not huge, but serve to iliir
frate tin fact ll at this port is now a big factor in the salmon
industry of Alaska.
II is probable also that this community derives directly
more benefit bom tin erection of the canneries in its vicinity
than anv other section of tin* north.
The canneries which have located here, or at least most ot
them, arc willing to and do employ local labor as tar as pos
sililc. As time goes on and the advantages ot giving the work (
to local people is more fully realized, the companies will give,
more of their work to Alaskans and eventually there will be,
located in this section many people who will derive their in
conics from the canneries located here.
When canneries first (mine to Alaska ,it was necessary in
most cases for them to bring along all their supplies as well as.
a commissary, as it was impossible to get what they nced( d this
side of Seattle.
That time is long past, but the custom still, to a large ex
tent, prevails. The canneries are, to a large extent, indepen
dent of the communities near which they are located, bringing
in all the supplies they will need for the season from the smith. I
The idea is wrong and should be discouraged. W Idle 11 it* j
canneries .theoretically, can get along without the co-opera-j
lion of anv community, it is a I act that the good will and slip
port of anv large nmnhrr of persons will help any institution
tide over troubles which always are sure to arise in au> ,
business.
When a community feels that a canncrj is doing it> best to
help the peoph living nearby, there is always a more ir’nndiy
feeling, which makes itself felt in many ways.
A PROUD DISTINCTION.
In one respect Ruby district at the present time can lay
claim to a distinction which is most creditable, and which af
fords jn>t ground for considerable local pride. I he eight hour
law passed by the Alaska legislature is religiously observed
throughout the district—in the letter and in the spirit—with
out attempt at evasion or to read into the act anything what
ever that it was not meant to contain. This is a condition pro
bably unique in Alaska—most certainly so in the interior.
Moreover, it appears to give perfect satisfaction to the operat
ors and working miners alike.
Add to this the further circumstances that the cleanups
in every instance, so far as heard’ from, are materially exceed
ing expectations, and you have abundant justification for call
ing this an excellent little camp.—Record-Citizen.
WHAT A BIG WORD IT’S GROWN.
As preparedness after preparedness parade and demon
stration occurs throughout; the United States, one is impressed
with the ever-growing sc-ope and'application ot the word “pre
paredness.” Where first it was used to apply only to the na
tion’s physical armament in readiness to resist invasion by a
foreign foe, the word has grown and grown in significance un
til now it is one of the biggest in the American-spoken Eng
lish langue. Where hut a few months ago it was a word that
many persons were inclined to stutter over and use most pains
takingly, and perhaps, just a little dubiously, it lias now come
into such general usage as to he on almost every tongue ready
for quick application to every phase of everyday life.
And as the word lias awakened a new patriotism—or
fanned into a new flame a smoldering, never dying spark of
love for home and country the word lias inspired' us to a now
mental effort to meet this day’s problems, and has quickened
our consciences to new responsibilities, loi both ot \\hiili tin ii
needs must he preparedness.
As preparedness parades bring millions of citizens out of
the citizenship lethargy into which they had dritted into a m\v
spirit of patriotism, so the inure and more common use of t'e
word to apply to the mental, moral and spiritual affairs, is Hav
ing a cumulative effect in spurring us on t opreparedness of the
now mental problems, new moral responsibilities and m-w de
mands on our spiritual life and understanding.
Preparedness is a good word. Let us keep on using it and
applying it—Tacoma News.
