PAN THE PEDDLERS.
- »
The Iditarod Pioneer is panning a Seward paper for print
ing inaccuracies and “bull” about the gold camp at Tolstoi,
said inaccuracies being quotations from alleged miners and
claim holders, who arrived over the trail from that section of
Alaska during the winter.
It is refreshing that the editor of the Pioneer has the cour
age of liis convictions and does not propose to have people mis
led into stampeding into the interior.
Wonder what he will say to “peddlers,” who put across
these inaccuracies when they get back this spring. If all that
they said about the wonderful future of Tolstoi had been pub
lished he would probably ask the commissioner to lock ’em up
as they arrived, because the matter published was that given
out by the apparently conservative chaps.
There is no doubt that the trail from Iditarod out was bad
this year owing to unexpected thaws in mid-winter, but it is
too much to expect coast folks to realize, unwarned', what the
effect would be on the truth telling abilities of the mushers.—
Seward (lateway. ,
Almost every day is a steamer day for Cordova.
-:o:
Dogs on the leash mean an additional two plunks in the
pocket of the owner.
-:o:
Just as soon as the weather becomes settled there will be
considerable building activity.
-:o:
Under its new management the Seward Gateway is rapidly
forging to the front and deserves the success it is attaining.
-:o:
What a contented lot of people we are in Cordova. Not
enough friction to even precipitate a municipal election scrap.
-:o:
The local cannery companies look for a big run of salmon
this season, while the outlook for a large pack of clams is ex
ceedingly bright.
-:o:
Now that there is a councilmanic ticket in the field it is up
to some good citizen to allow the use of his name to fill the
vacancy on the school board.
-:o:
If Uncle Sam must go to war Cordova will do its part in
supplying sea food and copper. We might also furnish coal for
the navy, if allowed to do so.
-:o:-—
Interior travel has not been as heavy as usual for this sea
son of the year, as returning Fairbanksans seem in no hurry
to leave the states for their homes.
-:o:
Officials at Washington have evidently come to the con
clusion that there should be no dallying with the buzzsaw, as
overt acts are looming up large on the horizon.
-:o:
Now is the time to give a little thought to brightening up
vour building with a fresh coat of paint. Why not try and
make tin* town look as attractive as possible this summer!
-:o:
The United States is virtually in a state of war with Ger
many, and the real declaration is sure to come with the con
vening of congress in special session on April 16, if not sooner.
-:o:
The expected has happened, and if Judge Jennings’ ruling
is not reversed Charles A. Sulzer will be our next delegate to
congress. During the interim it will be interesting to watch
developments.
-:o:
They are certainly an active bunch of legislators at Juneau
— each fellow trying to outdo the other in the number of bills
introduced, and giving little thought to the many unnecessary
and inadequate laws already passed by that body.
--:o:
The Weekly Democrat is the name of a new publication at
Anchorage. Tt is a bright and well-edited paper, issued by
Judge Jerry Murphy and Fred Martin, and gives every prom
ise of becoming one of the leading party organs of the territory.
-:o:
There seems to be an abundance of material in Cordova
to fill all officerships in a regiment if war is declared, but
a dearth of privates. Mike Sullivan and Doc Chase will vie
with each other for the position of “bull cook” if a call to the
colors is received.
.V .
The classified advertisements in the Daily Times bring re
sults. The owner of a small house inserted a three line ad, of
fering it for sale, and had no less than a score of applicants,
which is proof conclusive that there is also a great scarcity of
homes in Cordova. i
-:o:
During these strenuous times every loyal American should
show his patriotism liy'standlirg solidly behind President Wtb-^
son in whatever action he deems necessary to protect the lives 1
and rights of our citizens, as well as the honor of the nation.
There should be no time or place for the blatherskite.
-:o:-— 1
When the district court convenes here next month there
will be several hundred witnesses, jurors, litigants and federal •
officials who will desire accommodations, and as all the hotels
and rooming houses are at present crowded, the care of this
extra influx of people for a several weeks’ stay should be given
serious consideration.
-:o:
It is amusing to read the buncome spread by some Alaskan
papers about the denunciation of the Democratic senators on
the tactics adopted" at Juneau, which resulted in the senatorial
deadlock. As a matter of fact, the representatives of the party
combined with a single Republican to bring about the very re
sult that has aroused so much indignation and from under
which it is attempting to crawl. Peanut politics, as played at
Juneau, is a great game—if one is to judge from the press re
port sent broadcast from the territorial capital.
In the dlBtrict court for the terri
tory of Alaska, Third Division.
