SET APART FOR
STAMPDRIVE
The Local Committee of the Council
of National Defense has inaugurated i
campaign for the sale of war-savingi
stamps, to begin next Friday, Jun<
28, the day designated by proclama
tions of President Wilson and Gover
nor Riggs for the commencement o
the drive. That day has been offi
cially designated as "War-Saving:
Stamp day.”
The aim of the local committee i:
to induce each and every member o
the community to purchase $20 wort!
of these stamps before December 31
1918. Alaska’s quota of the amount t
be raised thus is $900,000, of whicl
$290,000 had already been accounts
for on June 18.
The details of the methods of sellini
•war stamps and war savings certifi
cates have been printed so often tha
they are thorougly familiar to ever;
member of the community. It i
therefore unnecessary to further dif
cuss these at this time. The impor
ant thjng is that every man, womai
and child in Cordova is expected t
do her or his part in the drive; an
It is not doubted that, as in other wa
activities, Cordova will again “go ove
the top.”
Besides the fact that in buying thos
stamps and certificates, one is doln
a patriotic duty, they furnish a splei
did investment, bearing good interes
and backed by the credit of Unci
Sam, the best security in the worli
A chance is thus given to start
savings account which gives a bette
rate of interest than can be obtaine
elsewhere, while at the same time r<
pleting the treasury of the goveri
ment and furnishing the sinews <
war for our gallant troops fighting i
Europe, for the building of shli
wherewith to transport supplies 1
them, and all the manifold activity
incident to the great struggle whic
Is to end only In the defeat of Genna
militarism and the unquestioned ti
umph of democracy.
Give the local committee all the a
sistance in your power and let Cordov
make this drive fully as memorable
as the ones that have preceded it, thus
adding to the luster of the name of
Cordova and giving a splendid example
to the other communities.

Tt COME TRUE
: AT PITTSBURGH
i PITTSBURGH, Jure 24.—Pittsburg!
- has lost its garden, and the long cher
i ished dream of the late John T. Gates,
who was never afraid to bet a million
i is about to come true. These fact!
loom larger when considered in con
1 nection with the official I a cement o:
, the war departomnt tha the Unitet
3 States steel corporation about t<
i build on Neville Island a gigantic ord
1 nance plant.
For more than a hundred year
; Pittsburgh has looked to Noville islam
- for its vegetables. Lying in the Ohii
t river at the western edge of the cit;
r it is high enough through its entir
s length of almost seven miles to es
cape the disastrous floods which twic
;• every year drive the people from the!
i homes in the lower part of the oli
3 town of Allegheny. While less thai
1 a mile wide, it is so level that gai
r deners early saw in it wonderful pos
r sibilities, and many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have been taken fron
e its rich, brown soil. Oil too ha
; added to the riches of the land an
i- even now it is dotted with steel dei
:, ricks topping wells that are still pre
e ducing the light Pennsylvania crude
l. Of its 994 acres the Steel* Corpon
a tion already owns 250 through its prii
r cipal subsidary, the Carnegie Stee
d Company, and before the ordnanc
>- mills are completed it must own mucl
if not all, of the remainder,
if This property Vas bought by tb
a late Mr. Gates when he formed th
is American Steel and Wire Company
o and he planned to cover the lslan
s with the mightiest steel wire mill
h ever erected. He went so far as t
a build a blast furnace at the head <
i- the island, and to dig deep for tb
foundations that were to support tb
i- heavy machinery his engineers wer
a to install in the great steel building
.t - „
—. .- .- -.—.
But his plans failed because the Steel
Corporation was formed, and it was
necessary for its scheme of things
that it take over the American Steel
& Wire Company, and Gates ceased to
be a factor in the independent field.
Neville island was neglected. Little
was done at the furnace and nothing
was done to carry out the plans for
big mills. In 1908 the Carnegie Steel
Company, needing more blast furnace
capacity, added the Neville plant to
its battery, and since that time it has
been operated spasmodically when the
stress of steel demand compelled in
tensive production. The rest of the
tract was leased to gardeners, and ev
ery year has been adding to the food
supply of the district.
The Ohio river is navigable on one
side of the island, wicket dams above
i and below giving enough water for
the free movement of boats and
: barges at all seasons of the year. On
1 the north side are the tracks of the
i Pittsburgh, Ft. Wayne & Chicago rail
- road, the northwest system of the
Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh,
i and on the south side are the tracks
l of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, the
i “Little Giant” of the New York Central
r system. The corporation also has a
s railroad on the island which connects
- runs from one end to the other.
3 In connection with the ordnance
: plant, the corporation is to build
L houses for the 20,000 or more workers
i who are to be employed, but it is
'• conceded that not a great many of
- them can be erected on the isladd.
- An entire town, perhaps two, or even
i three, must be built elsewhere to care
3 for the newcomers, and this, so the
1 story goes in Pittsburgh, the corpor
- ation is preparing to do.
