QUARANTINE
TO BE LIFTED
ON MONDAY
No new eases of influenza having
developed in Cordova for nearly iwo
weeks, and as all of Ihe old patients
have recovered il was decided today
that the quarantine in town could he
lifted and it was so ordered, effective
on Monday morning.
This means that the schools,
churches ami theatre can reopen
after having been closed for some
time. Restrictions will also be taken
off all public places and business will
he resumed as usual.
Health Officer Chase will he at the
school building before noon Monday
to vaccinate any child that has not
been inoculated, if there is no ob
jection on the part of their parents.
Whilo tho ban is to bo lifted peo
ple are warned to still be careful and
not attend public places if they tire
not feeling well or show any symp
toms of the "flu." They should im
mediately go home and summon a
physician. A little carelessness on
the part of one person who may be
affected may spread the disease and
also cause another strict quarantine.

OREGON UNDECIDED HOW
TO HONOR ITS HEROES
PORTLAND. Or, Jan. 1K -thy As
sociated Press l. Whether Oregon’s
| memorial to her soldiers and sailors
i v, ho fought overseas shall be a “Vic
i torv Hoad" from Portland to Alt.
j Hood, or elsewhere in the state, or
; whether it shall take the form of a
i statue or column erected to the mem
; ory of the fighters, is the question
now vexing the Victory Memorial
association. This organization was
formed to determine in what manner
the slate might best do honor to her
! soldier and sailor hoys.
\ general statewide discussion has
| arispn and the memorial association
expects to taco a difficult task la sat
i: lying the factions and di* iding upon
j so.no memorial which "ill I ■■ rep-e
cental!ve of all portions of the state.
It is expected that a large um "ill
he contributed and the plan to build
a road or expend the money in some
investment in a memorial shaft, finds
many adherents.
Tree planting in honor of the
soldier and sailor dead "ill lie done
in many parts of the state, ii appears.
That monuments will he. raised in
several cities also seems probable,
but it is the hope of the Victory Mem
orial association to unify tlu* senti
ment of Oregonians and determine
upon some practical demonstration
| of affection felt for Oregon heroes.

"When is a quarantine?" is a ques
tion for debate that can not be satis
factorily solved, so far as the people
of Cordova are concerned. To anyone
giving the correct answer will In
awarded "a shot in the arm."

Cordova is developing a larpe mini
licr of most excellent and graceful
skaters on Ice. Tills Is n healthy
and cxhilaratlnj! sport, and when in
dulised in moderately is certainly one
of the best tonics that can lie taken

Welcome home, ye sons of Uncle
Sam. who hav*- nobly done duty at

Let the bright lights shine in honor
of your noble sacrifice for our coun
try and incidentally the health of the
community.
* * *
If any of the present members of
tie- city council desire to con'inue in
office they should certainly be allowed
to retain their seats for .mother . ear,
after having served one of the most
strenuous terms in the history of the
municipality.
• * •
They do say that the party "hue"
has not been very much in evidence
lately especially so far as Ihc public
is concerned. I’.ul there is a reason,
as "plain clothes" men are not as
popular as those who are "all lit up"
for tile occasion.
* • •
'I’lie "flu" germ has evidently packed
iu grip and flown to other parts, as
there has not been a new ease of the
malady here for nearly two weeks,
and all of those who suffered a visit
are again well and happy that they
escaped so luckily

When another fellow gets the girl or
another girl the fellow, it is up to
the other to be a gamester and not
run around talking about a successful
rival, or pouring out the woe of a
heart bowed down Girlie, girlie, the
sea is still full of “dams" that have
never been caught.

Oh! see who’s here! Sergeant F.

\\V have taken a careful survey of
iIn■ personnel of those who will con
stitute Alaska's next legislative body,
having in view their records for in
tegrity and ability, and we believe we
are safe In saying they will not be
guilty of anythinig akin to some of
the nets that characterized the assl
nine sessions of the past.
* * *
With the removal of the quarantine
ban society will burst forth in all of
Its splendor and indulge in a season
of much gaiety, and the worshipers
at the shrine of the Goddess Terpsi
chore are looking forward to the com
ing weeks with a feeling much like
that of the young boy who awoke
early Christmas morning and found
that Santa Claus had tilled his stock
jng and it was heaping over with all
kinds of "goodies."
• * •
Of course we all admire a good
loser, but our sympathy goes out to
the fellow who wagered his money
on the delegate election in 1916, col
lected hid bet when SSulzer was seat
ed. and then two years later learned
that Wickersham was elected und had
! to -blow back" with his ill-gotten
j gains. One party that we know of
' promptly pungled up $200 when con
gress gave Wick the seat, but he did
so with "pain and regret."
• • •
Musing over the fumes of our pipe
at the fireside, the thought wanders
through the brain as to what all the
Alaskans on the Outside will do when
nation wide prohibition goes into ef
fect. Having been denied freedom of
action In the North for more than a
year, now the last hope 1b gone. The
only consolation they have Is the fact
that $75,000,0000 worth of "booze" can
not be disposed of Immediately, and
there may be a "hang-over” left.

THE FINGER OF SCORN.
by .1 D KI.I.SWOHTH.
Who Ik- you?
You radicals.
You deslnictionists,
You Bolshevik!?
Who be you?
You men of long hair
And long finger nulls.
But of little work
Who be you ?
Women of short hair,
Of short memories
And suppressed desires.
Who be you?
You street corner talkers.
You loose tongue shouters.
You dribblers of half thoughts
Who be you?
You I W. W.'s.
You avoiders of work.
You haters of eternal logic.
Who bo you?
You perverted parasites,
You bubbles of the slums.
You flotsam and jetsam of the world
Who be you?
Cowardly treason mongers.
Fratricides of Russia.
Grinners at your crumbling nation,
Hurtling down the vast pyramid of
the centuries
You grope in the obscure sands of a
far distant past
And find your prototypes.
Who are you prototypes?
The Simian founders of tho race.
The builders of the tower of Babel.
Huns and Vandals, sloughed off in the
growth of social order.
Because of you, is war;
Because of you, is famine and
disease;
Because of you, the world must be
cleansed by fire
For the renewal of mankind.

CLASS LEGISLATION
Tax everybody to give special bene
fits to particular classes seems to be
the political fad of the hour
Make everybody pay higher freight
to double the wages of the railroad
brotherhoods.
Tax everybody to pay the tele
phono or telegraph hill of someone
else so politicians can make rates and
play politics.
Tax everybody for state-owned
mills, elevators, stockyards and pack
ing plants to enrich the farmers.
Everything you don't like have the
government take it over (so long as
It Isn't your business!, and furnish
some class a service at a higher or
lower price as best suits the ease, and
let the customer or the taxpayer pay
the bill.
Can not fair-minded and uncorrupt
ed Americans unmask these policies
of paternalism?
Where will this system stop^
Shall the American republic go
down under class legislation or will
it stand for fair play and Justice and
a square deal for all?
