THE PROSPERITY EDITION.
As announced several weeks ago, (lie Cordova Daily Times
will issue a Prosperity Edition some time between August 1
and 15.
f This edition will contain between sixteen and' twenty-four
pages, and will reflect in a creditable manner upon this city
and district.
The publication of such an edition on a plant equipped only
to get out a daily paper such as the Times, entails much work
and thorough preparation. In order to make tin* Prosperity
Edition one of which all can be proud, it will be necessary to
get much of the advertising copy in early.
The Prosperity Edition will not confine itself to Cor
dova, but will fairly represent all of .Southwestern Alaska. Al
r- adv we have written to several Alaskans well informed on
conditions in the north for special articles on the districts in
which they live.
As soon as possible the actual work of printing the paper
will be commenced. Tt is hoped' to make the Prosperity
Edition reflect tin* excellent business conditions which now
prevail here, and to do this it will be necessary to have the un
stinted support of everybody in Cordova.
EXPLOSIVES AND THE PAPER FAMINE.
In connection with the growing shortage* of paper stock,
which lias become a source of more or less alarm to all pub
lishers and other users of paper in large quantities, there is
considerable misconception as to the relation of the use of
paper and paper stock in the manufacture of high explosive's.
As a matter of fact, the* amount so used is extremelv small.
(Jnneedton is made* from cellulose* of high nitration, but raw
eoftein and not paper stock is uses! for this purpose*. Sumkedess
powder is made from guncotton by further nitration and'tre*at
m*‘iit with e*ther, alcohol and various alkalies for noutraliza
tmii. To obtain satisfactory results when smokele*ss poweler is
used', it must he manufactured from cotton that has not lost
its original cellular structure*. Cellulose made* freuu any eitlie*r
stock would give* a penvde*r that would be so erratic that it
would he* very unsatisfactory from a military stamlpoint, and
military uses are* almost the* emlv ones to which guncotton is
put ,e*xce*pt what is used in the* manufacture of gelatin
dynamite*.
I in* eemservatiein e>t paper ;mel paper steiek is imperative*,
mid il all users of pape*r, beitli large and small, would adopt the
Policy which some concerns have a marked effect would be
immediate. The Du Peuit company publislms an interesting
monthly regarding the* proelucts which it manufactures and
the*ir application in economic uses. It had' a plan to double the
size eit this organ, which lias a circulation of 200,000 per
month, but this matter has been suspended entirely for the
present anel even circularizing not absolutely necessary' lias
been eliminated. This is a broad-gauge policy which this par
ticular concern can more readily afford under the circum
stances than some others* perhaps, but there is no doubt that
mem* cart* should lie exercised in general, and no paper or rag
steiek should be wastes 1 or burned, but all should be very caro
tid I v conserved. Conservation of the other fellow’s forest or
water power a thousauel miles away is common theme for dis
sertation, but conservation of one’s own w'aster material anel
bypreielucts is a subject to which too little attention is given.—

CARRANZA THE FOXY.
While the world is holding its breath and awaiting news
from the big naval battle in the North sea, Carranza is con
centrating bis troops near the United States border. It may
be all right for us to watch him prepare his army for action
without uttering a protest, but there will lx* a great outburst
. il the -Mexicans manage to overwhelm the American force in
Mexico and invade the border states.
I lie whole American army is now on the border, and if it
is once defeated Carranza can have a picnic for a while, until
the American people can recover enough to organize a volun
teer army.
it is a remarkable condition when one finds the strongest
nation in the world the weakest.
--:o:
Berlin U reported as jubilant over the outcome of the figlit
in the North sea. It is safe to say, however, that the families
<>l tin1 a,000 men who gave their lives in.the conflict, the cause
or reason tor which they know nothing, are not rejoicing.
--:o:
Von 1 linden berg is trying to break into the class with
Caesar and Hannibal. His “No peace until we have crossed the
Dvina” has a fateful sound reminiscent of “Beyond the Alps
lies Italy.”

To Cordova Capitalists:—Build a few houses suitable for
small families which can be rented to the many people now
