WHAT CORDOVA
SEEMS TO
NEED
“To an Interiorite who, after years
of confinement makes his escape to
wards the “Badlands,” what Cordova
seems to need most today is a big
family potlatch,” said a Fairbanksan
today. “It would be an easy propo
sition for Cordovans, although an Im
possibility for Fairbanksans, and you
would find it a paying proposition in
the long run.
"Hope deferred maketh the energy
ache, and it looks to me, from the num
ber of Cordovans who are wearing
spectacles and eyeglasses that this
watchful-waiting proposition Alaskans
are mostly all the time up against has
gotten on your nefves, just at it has on
ours. You might find the remedy In
resolving into one big excursion com
uany, chartering enough boats to
take all the heads of your business
concerns South, together with their
families; rent a big hotel in the just
right climate near San Diego and
spending the next six months there
allowing the sunshine to soak into you
and storing up energy for another start
at w'atchful-waiting. Those of you
who can’t get away could afford to
help finance the proposition, for the
financial good the vacation would do
the rest of you living for six months
away from the scenes of your doubts
and struggles, among the people who
can see nothing which bears the brand
of hope or prosperity, you would come
back home with a paint brush in one
hand and a barrel of paint in the
other, dig in your clips and go to it
again in a manner which would pick
your camp up and put it on the map of
hopefulness anu expectancy again aS
you could never do without a big rest
“In wandering about your city for
the past few days, I note that most of
your empty buildings seem to have
been built for saloons or occupied by
saloons. Before you leave on the
winter's trip, you ought to pass an
ordinance through your city council
limiting the number of saloons in
Cordova to those which are here now.
That would insure, when your greater
prosperity comes, sufficient and not
too-many saloons. Too many saloons
for a town spoils the game—it is the
players who spoil any game. Limit
your saloons to a reasonable number
and the saloonmen will play the game
with honor to the town, and for its
advancement. Next year you are go
ing to be guessing whether the saloon
is not a vanishing proposition, and the
less-offensive and less numerous the
saloon proposition is the better chance
the players have of keeping the game
running.
“The chances for Cordova are just
as great today, if not greater than they
ever wrere_ It is the people who make
a city, and when a city’s people go
stale it is up to them to take a vaca
tion and revive. All over Alaska the
need of a vacation is apparent in the
population, and the city which grasps
the fact first and acts upon it will be
there with development work and the
growing time for the next two years.”
