EAGLE DANCE
i
i
—
Tonight is the Big night, the night,
when the Eagles, in celebration of the
seventeenth anniversary of the foun
dation of the order, will do themselves
proud in the way of entertainment.
The affair begins with a visit to the
Empress Theatre, where an unusually
good program, embracing both drama
tic and comedy subjects, will be
shown, and ends with a big dance in
Eagle hall. One ticket secures ad
mission to both. With the hall
decorated along the lines more am
bitious than ever before attempted in
Cordova, and carried out with an ex
cellent style, the best of music, a
floor of the finest, those who are fond
of dancing will find the conditions
most propitious for a thoroughly en
joyable evening. Tickets are on sale
at all business places, and it is an
ticipated that there will be a large at
tendances, and the jprlce ;lias been
made the small sum of $1 for both
dance and show. The proceeds of the
affair will go to the building fund,
which, it <is hoped, will be largely in
creased.

LINER WEATHERS
TERRIFIC STORM
From fi o'clock Tuesday morning un-1
(il Into in the afternoon the Alaska
Steamsh/ip's Company’s coastwise lin
er Mariposa fought with terrific seas
between Ocean Cape, near Yakatat,
and Cape Spencer, but the vessel
weathered the gale in shipshape order
and was only eight hours late when
she arrive here, southbound, at 4:30
yesterday afternoon, says the June
au Empire.
According to Captain Charles J.
O’Brien, commander of the Mariposa,
the storm was one of the worst in
the history of Alaska’s coast. A
southeasterly wind sprang up early
Tuesday morning and by 7 o’clock its
velodity had multiplied until great
whitecaps dashed against the vessel
with tremendous force and slowed the
ship’s speed. At times the Mariposa
shipped great seas on her foredeck
and the water came over the rail
amidships. Nearly all of the passen
gers were seasick, and none of the
sailors were on deck. The hatches
had been battened down and the decks
cleared by the early watch, when the
storm's ominous approach was indi
cated by the ship’s barometer.

CHITINA TALK
CHITINA, Feb. 6—A majority of
citizens of Chitina both male and
female attended a meeting in the A.
B. hall last (Thursday) evening for
the purpose of "swopping" ideas
with our two representatives to the
legislature from this section of the
country. Hon. Wm. O’Connor presi
ed, and O. A. Nelson acted as secretary
In a few well chosen remarks the
chairman then introduced Mr. T.
B. Tansy who is now on his way to
Juneau. Mr. Tansy said he had not
come to talk so much as to listen, as it
was his intention to be guided at all
times by the wishes of his constitu
ents, not only those that had voted
for him but also those that voted
against him. He said that he repre
sented no pnrty, but the people. Mr.
Holland delivered his maiden speech,
and it came as a great surprise to
many of his friends, who had almost
despaired of ever getting more than a
dozen words at once out of him. His
speech showed evidence of careful
preparation, and was well received
by the audience. He touched on sev
eral of the planks in the Democratic
Platform, and said that while he was
not iin favor of Government ownership
of railroads as a general policy, he
considered the purchase of the C. R.
& N. W. Ry. by the government at
this time absolutely necessary to the
proper development of the country.
Mr. Pat Murphy, one of our real pio
neers made a vigorous appeal for bet
ter trails and bridges. He said there
were other parts of Alaska besides the
main road to Fairbanks, and if there
was so little money it would be ns well
to spend it for one year anyway on
trails that would give access to many
valuable mining claims. Ho advocat
ed better protection for the wages of
the workingman, a better system of
policing the trails, and compulsory
registration of the people who travel
ed the trails. He made a tremendous
impression, and is already spoken of
as our next Senator.
The discussion became general, O.
A. Nelson defending our treatment by
Congress, and stating that we got a
great deal more from the United
States than they got from us. The
chalirman took issue with him on this
statement, and showed that never In
the history of the country had a terri
tory poured such wealth into the lap
of the nation, and never had a terri
tory received such scant considera
tion, until the present administration
took hold of things. Tom Bergum
asked that the Mining Laws passed at
the last session of the legislature be
'
I
repealed. He had paid two lawyers
to give him an opinion ns to where he
got off at ns a protipector, and he was
more in the dark than ever. Mr. E. M.
Hates asked for some legislation that
would prevent such school conditions
as now exist at McCarthy, and the
assemblymen promised to bring pres
sure on the Governor to give McCar
thy a school.
By unnnimous votes our delegation
was Instructed to work for a full form
of territorial government, and the en
actment of a law giving the whole
of Alnskn the Australian bollot sys
tem.
Owing to a lack of Information about
what the Development Bonrd advocat
ed by Secretary Lane was. it was de
cided that our representatives use
their own Judgment about supporting
It.
