BIG MUSICAL EVENT
UNO BUNGE SATURDAY
Of the many things in which Cor
dova leads, music ranks first. Every
body likes good music. That some
people are aB they are is largely be
cause of music—or lack of it. We
all need it—it’s a social necessity.
We Socialists look forward to the
day when nobody would, for economic
reasons, be compelled to get along
without the etherealizing dope.
The orchestra will be in its best,
and those who can afTord it will pay
50 cents admission, and will certainly
be there, while those who cannot don't
need to pay anything.
Some people cannot keep still when
they hear good music; some don’t
want to, while others can do nothing
else. Those with music in their feet
will be provided with a slick floor
on which they can fan the air to their
heart's content, Saturday Night, Don’t
Forget.

A Bock and two steerage are th
only passengers for Cordova on th
steamer Admiral Evans, which sailei
from Seattle yesterday for the north
Tito greater portion of the time of
the city council nt last night's mee'
Ing was devoted to n general discus
sion of the problem of providing work
for the unemployed and destitute men
of this city, a problem presented by
a committee appointed at the meeting
held Sunday afternoon. The conclu
sion was finally reached that the most
deserving and needy may l>e given a
little work on a sewer needed on ('
street, which will cost between $5(1
and $75, the work to be done under
supervision of the street committee.
“Are any of these men going lain
gry?" E. .1. Davis asked of K. A. Hcg
ner, a member of the committee, after
the needs of the men hail been madi
known.
"I don't know—they are begging am
borrowing,” was the reply.
“The men should come before tin
council themselves, so that we cat
see who they are," said Councllmar
Goodall, chairman of the street com
1 mittee. "Men ure coming here fron
f'"1 vwhih i » mm ni- V (1 11
support all of them. The govern
J ment has a fund for such purposes an<
the proper thing for them to do Is t<
apply to the marshal If they are no
B residents of the town."
, H. C. Feldmann came to the defense
of the unemployed by stating that nc
. self-respecting man would make public
the fact that he was destitute. 1I<
i said that the city had not long since
spent a considerable some for orna
, mental street lights and it might now
> spend $400 to $500 in clearing stumps
r from that portion of the 13-acre tract
* between the roadway and the railroad
. and transform it into a park, thus cre
. ating enough work to tide the needy
> over until spring. He offered to do
r nate the powder necessary.
Tom Davis stated that if the rail
road company would sell him two lots
there he would give these men the
j work and save the city the trouble.
The sewer project was then suggest
. ed by E. J. Davis, who stated that
3 more sewer work could he done to
. good advantage by constructing one
, from the Stewart cottages.
“The hungry men should report to
the indigent committee,'’ suggested
. Mayor Boyle.
This brought Mr. Hegner to their
.! defense with the statement that they
, | would not accept charity; that they
wanted work. He suggested that the
city go into the wood business, fur
, nishing tools and supplies.
s Councilmen E. J. Davis and Goodall
1 didn’t believe this plan practical, and
. Clerk James Flynn cited the exper
ionce of n local philniuhl'opbt who had
"grubstaked" men for a woodcutting
Job and they disappeared without leav
ing any address.
Councilman Coodall declared that
conditions did not justify the city go
ing into the wood business.
D. M. Lynch suggested that If the
city could not dispose of green wood
It could make a profit of $1. a cord by
lotting it remain on the dock until
dry.

: BLUEST AlASP, BUILT
SHIP BHEAKIflG UP
i Pounding to pieces on the rocks In
bleak St. Michael bay, the oldest
steam vessel In Alaska will soon dis
appear beneath the waves, according
to advices just received from Nome.
Tim dying vessel Is the steamship
Polotofski, which is one of the font
steam vessels built by the Itussians
over fifty years ago, Two of th
steamers wore built in 1850 and two
in 1858. The hulls were knit from
yellow cedar anil spruce hewn from
an Alaskan forest.
---
The Polotofski was propelled by!
Fide sheelsnn d had copper boilers
Her hull was fastened by copper and |
iron bolts which were hand made
In the early seventies this vessel was
akeu to Puget Sound, where her boil
• r were taken out and replaced by
Iron ones. Her superstructure alsoi
was remodeled and Hhe was then sold !
to the Port Binkley Lumber company,
and used as a towboat.
In 1897 the boat was towed back
North to St. Michael, carrying a cargo
of lumber and coal. She was used
as a wharf boat for a time.
During a heavy gale a few years
ago the old, weather beaten warrior
was driven on a reef. It is said tha
in spite of her fifty-eight odd years
of service her cedar timbers are still
sound. Gov. J. R A. Strong has a
cribhage board made of a piece of
cedar taken from the Polotofski. It
was sent to him by Capt. •'Billie”
Moore, son of the founder of Skag
way. Moore is now at St. Michael.
