CORDOVA, ALASKA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1914
i
ANTIDOTE ADMINISTERED ORGAN
AND THE “COME BACK” IS NOW DUE
AFTER several pqw-wows, in which some of the city of*
finals and councilmen participated, it is reported
that the Daily Alaskan will tonight contain a1
lengthy screed in defense of the reckless and ex
travagant waste of the municipality’s funds by the
present administration. This will be the “come
back” which the official organ threatened was coming, and rep
resents the efforts of several of the henchmen. It should
prove interesting reading, even if consistency plays no part in
the effusion, and the public should be enlightened as to the
name of the author. But this may be expecting too much.
It might prove embarrassing and discredit much of the de
fense that is to be offered. We presume, however, that the
Alaskan will continue to allow itself to be the goat until such
a time as there is a complete expose of the actors and meth
ods back of the little four-ringed circus.

WHAT THE ALASKA PAPERS
SAY OF CORDOVA’S NEW DAILY
ANOTHER ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMBER
Following the example of the Dispatch, the first paper in
Alaska to get Associated Press service, the Cordova Daily
Times has secured the service. The Seward Gateway was the
second paper to become a member of tin* great press associa
tion. The Fairbanks Times has applied for the service to be
used as soon as it becomes a daily.
The Dispatch is now the only morning paper in Alaska
having the service.
The Cordova Daily Times represents a consolidation of
the papers there. The names of Harry G. Steel, C. H. Wil
cox and C. H. Scheffler appear as publishers, with II. G.
Steel as managing editor and C. II. Wilcox city editor—Ju
neau Dispatch.
NEATEST NEWSPAPER IN ALASKA
One of the neatest daily newspapers published in Alas
ka is the new Daily Times of Cordova, the first issue of which
has just been received by the Citizen. Until December 2,
The Times wras a weekly newspaper, but on that date it
blossomed out into a daily.
The Daily Times is a four-page, seven-column paper, made
attractive by well-edited news matter and neat typographical
work. It has Associated Press news, being the third newspa
per in the territory to obtain that service. It is published by
H. G. Steel, C. II. Wilcox and C. H. Scheffler. Mr. Steel is
the editor and manager.—Fairbanks Citizen.
WILL UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE GOOD
Volume one, number one, of the Cordova Daily times, made
its appearance December 2. In a vigorous, breezy and cheer
ful salutory its announces its determination to print the news
and to boost tor the good of Alaska. The news columns give
evidence that it is living up to one feature of its creed and un
doubtedly it will make good on the other.—Juneau Daily Em
pire.
FINE, BRIGHT PUBLICATION
The Cordova Daily Times is the name of a new publica
tion in Cordova. The publishers are H. G. Steel, C. H. Wil
cox and C. H. SchefTler. Mr. Steel is a brother of Will Steel,
editor of the Cordova Daily Alaskan. Mr. Wilcox was for
merly publisher of the Cordova Weekly Times. The new
daily is a tint*, bright, seven-column publication, and has suc
ceeded in getting the Associated Press service, which speaks
volumes for the publishers’ confidence in the future of their
city.—Seward Gateway.
WELL PATRONIZED BY BUSINESS MEN
Publication ot a daily edition of the Times was com
menced yesterday, under editorial management of Postmaster
Harry G. Steel. The editorial columns are full of promise of
big tilings on the part of the paper and also of a greater and
better Cordova, while the advertising columns are well pat
ronized by local business men.—Cordova Daily Alaskan.

THE seismograph at Washington is tonight expected to
record a disturbance, the center of which is supposed to be in
Alaska. But we can assure the public it is nothing serious;
only the bursting of a labored-effort bubble on the part of Cor
dova’s “official” paper to render a service to a discredited
city council.

REPRESENTATIVE Richard Pearson Hobson, the affable
Alamaman, whose persistent opposition to the demon rum had
its death knell sounded, for the time being at least, goes out of
Congress on March 4 next, but evidently he intends to “keep
busy” during the few remaining months that Ire is a member.
-:o:
With proper assistance the “city official organ” hop>e?
to “come back” tonight, and tell what a fine city council
they have and how it saved them money by levying a 6-mill
tax when its predecessors for three years collected only ten mill?
during that entire period. In fact the services of an expert
have been engaged to figure out for you where this kind of
economy comes in. We fear it will prove another case of
being unable to fool all the people all the time.
