CORDOVA, ALASKA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24,1916.
CORDOVA WANTS ALL-NIGHT SERVICE.
The Valdez Prospector says that Cordova will likely he
added to the list of towns that receive an all-night cable ser
vice, just as soon as the present break in the cable has been
repaired, and comments on the new innovation as follows:
The order of the war department establishing a twenty
four hour service on the military cable and telegraph systems
between Seattle and Alaska went into effect yesterday after
noon, and the local office remained open last night for tin
first time. The night service embraces Seattle, Sitka, Juneau,
Valdez and Fairbanks, and it is believed that Seward and Cor
dova will be included as soon as the break in the cable has been
repaired.
The night service is not expected to result in any material
increase in the business of tin- Signal Corps for the present,
but is in line- with tin* policy of the war department to render
all assistance possible in hastening the development of tin
territory and increasing the efficiency of the service to the
general public.
Tin- inauguration of the service at the present time while
the cable is broken will compel the local staff to be on duty
overtime, as part of the force is at Whitshed' handling the busi
ness from the wireless to the cable. This situation will be re
lieved, however, when the cable is repaired.

FAIRBANKS GREAT ANTIMONY PRODUCER.
The larger antimony deposits being developed in various
portions of the placer country tributary to this city would seem
in indicate that by the time the government railroad reaches
Fairbanks this will be the leading producer of that valuable
mineral in the I'nited States' i! not in the whole world.
The plans for military preparedness now being advocated
bv nearly all our statesmen must necessarily include the de
velopment of antimony mines, as the supply at present is sadly
inadequate, and the metal is one of the necessities of military
operations. Therefore, our bounteous supply may prove an
other of Alaska’s many valuable resources, and one which may.
in connection with our immense coal deposits, be the means of
strengthening the country's army as well as navy.
If tile immensity of the antimony deposits which could be
made immediately available as soon as the railway is finished
was properlv presented to the 14big white* lather who lives in
Washington,” it might be the means of augmenting tin* con
struction from this end. The antimony reserves here available*
lias been more than trebled within the last two months, and
onlv await reasonably cheap ami permanent transportation fa
cilities to outstrip all our other resources.—Fairbanks News

NOT PLEASED WITH BRANDEIS.
Most of the newspapers, large and' small, are much dis
pleased with the appointment of Rrandeis to the supreme
bench. Tliev speak of his abilities, but they don’t like the bent
of his mind. They like his industry, but they regard him as a
special advocate of undigested uplifts.
Reference often is made to the red zeal with which lie
supported the I. \V. W. only a few years ago, and his other ap
parently sudden enthusiasms, and' the verdict of the press
seems to he that Rrandeis is not the type of man that should
sit on tlie supreme bench, where progress is made by orderly
processes.
Why President Wilson, himself an orderly thinker, accord
ing to Ids biographies, appointed Mr. Rrandeis, is regarded as
a paradox by those newspaper writers who in their moments
of abstraction overlooked the fact that tins is a presidential
year.
It undoubtedly is a fact that Rrandeis is not of the breed)
heretofore regarded as proper for the great high court. But j
if his nomination is confirmed, and he dons the black gown, lie!
will find himself in a company whose celebrations will give him|
the time of his life.
-:o:
We are packing the cellar with dynamite. The Philippine
freedom in four years bill passed the Senate. There lies in j
ibis measure a greater danger to this nation than possible
German aggression or British domination.
---:o:
Two fine saddle horses have been sent to the emperor of
Japan by his subjects in California, but from what we know
of royal clothing we don’t understand how his nibs can ride
unless lie stands up.
- :o;-—
It is half admitted that certain army officers are interested
ti private munitions plants. Only a little of this is necessary
o let the preparedness temperature down to .‘12 Fahrenheit.
——--:o:
That new Krupp revolver which fires 650 shots a minute
is comparable only to the rapidity with which the taxpaying
periods hit us.
