While influenza lias not been en

epidemh has evidently been checked,
no new cases having developed for a
number of days, and hut half a dozen
people are now suffering from the

COrdova will be represented for the
first time in the next legislature, two
of our townsmen. Henry A. Slater and J
K. K Ray. having been elected at the
recent election. The Copper River val j

Judge Wickersham Is again the dele
gate to congress from Alaska, and will
draw salary for the past two years
that he has been kept out of office
pending the result of his contest. The
returns from the November election
show that Charles A. Sulzer has a

There is every reason to believe
that last night's action of the city
council will result in an increased
inembership of the Cordova fire de
partment, and the more efficient serv
ice. The boys are to retain their old i
organization and an incentive is of- ;
fered members in the way of a club
room anil gymnasium and increased
pay for responding to alarms and at
tending drills. This is as it should
lie. The best insurance a town can
have is a cracker jack fire depart
ment, and Cordova hopes soon to be
able to boast of having one of the
finest and most efficient departments
in Alaska.
