SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1919
Monday is the last day for the pay
ment of municipal taxes, and there
is still a little time left in which to
save that 5 per cent penalty.
-«
Cordova will do honor to the late
ex-President Theodore Roosevelt by
holding a memorial service at the Em
press theater tomorrow afternoon.
-«
While Cordova is receiviin gits mail
more regularly now than during any
previous winter, we are generous
enough to sympathize with Valdez,
Seward and Anchorage for the poor
service they are receiving.
-*
Just as soon as the national legis
lators pass the conferrees’ report on
the coal and oil land leasing bill there
will be some big development work
pulled off in Alaska, and a good part
of it not far from Cordova.
-•
A representative of Secretary of
the Interior Lane is looking over the
government railroad situation in
Alaska, and it would make mighty in
teresting reading if our old friend Mr.
W. A. Ryan, the investigator, who is
also an old-time newspaper man,
would publish his findings.
-♦
As a matter of economy the street
ltghtr of Anchorage are to be shut
off at' midnight, and the Chamber ot
Commerce of that town is making a
strong plea to the Alaskan engineer
ing commission to have them burn
until 2 o’clock in the morning, as the
members are “afraid to go home in
the dark.”
-«
It is to be hoped that when the
canvassing board completes its work
of counting the ballots cast at the
November election and tells us who
has been selected as the delegate to
congress from Alaska, the matter will
be finally settled. This thing of wait
ing two years to learn who has been
elected is ’el on the nerves of the
man betting on his favorite candi
date.
-«.
The tables are about to be turned
and an exodus is now due from Se
attle to Alaska, instead of vice versa,
as was the case last fall.
-«
How quickly the people of Cordova
recover from the scare of an epidemic
is attested by the large crowds that
now attend all public gatherings.
-»
Better begin to figure out your in
come for last year, as the tax is due
before March 1, or the internal rev
enue collector’s office will “catch you,”
-♦
“Alaska Can Pay the Nation’s
Debt,” and if you don’t believe us
we refer you to the Fairbanks Citi
zen, which is devoting yards of edi
torial space to convincing arguments
on this very subject.
-«
Another Liberty bond loan is soon
due, and as the war is not over until
all of our boyos have been safely
landed home, you should lay aside a
few dollars and invest It with Uncle
Sam, and thus make one of the best
and safest investments possible.
-«
Our old friend, United States Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis, he of
“pink whisker,” is being prominently
mentioned as the successor to Attor
ney General Gregory, resigned. Jim
Ham would, be a picturesque figure in
the cabinet, and the administration
could go farther and do worse than
honor him with the office.
-♦
In less than two months the muni
cipal election will take place, but if
there are any aspirants for political
honors the fact has not been confided
to the public. Someone has suggest
ed that the present members of the
city council be retained in office. The
idea strikes us as a good one, but
these self-same legislators may desire
a voice in the matter.
-•
Thus far this winter the Copper
River & Northwestern railway has
suffered little or no inconvenience
from climatic conditions, and trains
are running regularly. Much of the
credit for maintaining the schedule
is due to the far-sightedness and ex
cellent organization which Superinten
dent Caleb Corser has shown and
maintained.
-«
The magnanimity of the residents
of Anchorage in being willing to con
cede that Seward is the ideal point
of departure for airplanes, for the
winter at least, may be explained in
the fact that the Cook inlet summer
port has no regular mail service dur
ing the closed season to the west
ward, and is clamornlg for mail that, is
not being expeditiously handled, over
land, from Seward.
-«
Another department, and one in
which everybody is vitally interested,
has been added to the Daily Times,
and makes its initial appearance in
today’s paper. It is a department
containing school notes, edited by the
pupils, and will appear every Satur
day. The parents and public gener
ally should be proud of our educa
tional institutions, and the progress
the children are making at school.
This, together with the Red Cross de
partment in the Wednesday’s issue,
and edited by the chairman of the
military relief committee, are distinc
tive features which are widely read
and can not help but increase the pop
ularity of Cordova’s leading news
paper.

NO FOUNDATION FOR
RUMOR OF OIL FIND
Numerous reports have been in cir
culation in the streets in Anchorage
for the past several days to the effect
that oil had been struck in paying
quantities in the Chlckaloon coal
fields.
This sounded like mighty good
news, but our hopes were soon blasted
when we telephoned to William Gerig,
engineer in charge of the Anchorage
division, who is returning from Chicjk
aloon, and received his answer. Mr.
Gerig stated that he had tlso heard
the report, and had inquire^ of Mr.
Gompertz, manager of tmF Chlcka
loon Coal Company, if the rumor
were true. Mr. Gompertz said that
so far as he knew there was no foun
dation for the report.—Anchorage
