Prohibition in Russia does not extend to retreats.
The weather man is certainly good to us these days.
Is the dryest July in many years a preparation for a rainy
fall.
The unions m the Remington Arms plant strike while the
iron is hot, but not the iron.
The cabinet is going to make another note, pianissimo or
trombonissimo is not revealed.
Between the excesses of Roosevelt and Bryan, the ordinary
citizen can pick a position fairly tenable.
It is said that the prolonged dry spell means a plentiful
supply of game birds, which season opens on September 1.
hen anybody begins talking about removing commercial
ism from the world let’s all sit down and think for two minutes,
A $220,000,000 railroad was sold at auction recently for
$18,000,000. There are some prospects that there’ll be othei
bargains on railroads. But it’s all psychological—these pesti
eating times.
As soon as the city council has sufficient members here tc
pass ordinances the itinerant merchant will be taken care of
and the tax cannot be made too high to keep these Hy-by-nigh1
concerns out of the town.
Tt is estimated that the cost of maintaining the munici
pality of Seward will be $00,000 for the ensuing year, thereby
trebling its expenses of last year. This means a two per con!
tax levy on a property valuation $2,240,000.
They say that armament does not insure peace, which prob
ably is true. It is also true that the .United States was entirely
unprepared tor in 1801, and yret this did not prevent the greatesl
war in history before the present conflict, with a total of more
3,000,000 men engaged on both sides.
Cordovans figured prominently in the organization of «
Chamber of Commerce at Anchorage last week, the following
being named on committees: Transportation and docks Capt.
A. E. Lathrop; publictv, F. B. Tracy; manufacturing and indus
tries, M. Finkelstein; streets sewers, light and water, M. W.
Diedrick; fire protection, Tlios. C. Price.
It is gratifying to know that the water along the railroad is
rapidly receding and that within ten days through trains will
again be running regularly. Fortunately the Gilhina bridge
was not totally destroyed' and temporary repairs can be made so
as not to interfer with the shipments of copper ore from Kenne
cott to Cordova, as soon as the road is open.
The British have captured Ngaundere, in equatorial Africa,
and let’s hope this close the war chapter in that section. With
our jaws racked edgewise already by Russian, French, German
and Serbian pronounciation, we don’t want to tackle a language
that’s fool enough to start any word with an “N. G.”
Secretary Daniel’s enlistment as naval aid's of Thomas A.
Edison and other inventors no doubt will produce a lot of' im
portant tools for taking life, and may place this nation in the
front rank of military efficiency. It may put us in a position
where, by the time Mars is again on the warpath, we won’t have
to take the insults of anybody.
As well as can be learned the government was much more
liberal with its employes on the Panama canal than it is in
Alaska. A sufficiently careful effort to find out the true condi
tions in this respect during the building of the canal has not
been made to speak with any postiveness but that the wages
down there were much higher is something which has told us
with authority.—Seward Gateway.
All Kverett manufacturer is trying'to ship 25,000 shingles
by parcel post to man in Washington 40 miles from a railroad.
1 he Lveiett postmaster has asked his superiors in Washington
for instructions. He doesn’t want to lift the roof off the whole
system without adequate backing. Tin* fee for carrying the
shingles will be about $40. What the loss will be if they are
taken the postoffice department has not made public.
hvery once and a while some Alaskan paper announces
it has “reliable information” that the Secretary of Interior,
Hon. Franklin T\. Lane, intends to make a trip to' the territory
during August. It’s to be sincerely hoped that Mr. Lane will
pay Alaska a visit, and if lie does Cordova will extend to him
every courtesy in its power, even if this place was overlooked in
the selection of a terminal for the government railroad.
