COME CORDOVA
The steamer Kansas nty arrived
in port at 10 o'clock this morning
from Anchorage, where she was un
able to discharge her cargo, the ice
in the inlet being quite thick. She
lost one of her anchors, and the cir
culating pump was put out or com
mission. necessitating her coming to
Cordova forf repairs. Her cargo con
sists of about 1,600 tons of lumber,
rails and food supplies, and after
waiting for three days at Anchorage
found it impossible to land the freight,
which was brought to Cordova.
The Northwestern was enabled to
discharge part of her cargo by
drifting forward and backward with
the ice. The balance of her freight
was landed at Sew’ard.
jt'he* steamer Dora, en route from
Sewarjl to Unalaska, broke down at
Seldotha on Sunday, and it will be
necessary for her to put back to Cor
dova to repair her high pressure
piston rod.

Although this bird has
been extinct for 230
years, the humorist has
ever kept it alive. At

dodo looked like. Walter Winans,

SCHEFFLER US
At a meeting of the Democratic
Club, held at the city hall last night.
Charles H. Seheffler received the en
dorsement of that organization as its
choice for postmaster of Cordova, to
fill the vacancy caused by the resig
nation of the present incumbent. The
resolution adopted follows:
Whereas, the present postmaster of
Cordova, Alaska, has resigned, and it
is fitting and proper that his succes
sor be a known Democrat and a citi
zen of Cordova;
And whereas, this organization, as
the representative Democratic Club
of Cordova and the Copper River Val
ley, has always advocated the ap
pointment of Alaskan Democrats to
the federal offices throughout this
i Territory;
| Therefore, Be'it Resolved, that the
Cordova Democratic Club, in regular
meeting assembled, endorse the ap
plication of Charles H. Seheffler,
! Democratic Territorial Committeee -
j man for Alaska, for the position of
postmaster at Cordova;
And be it further resolved, that
J copies of this resolution be sent to
; the Postmaster-General at Washing
ton, D. C., as evidence of the desire
of the local Democrats for the selec
tion of Mr. Seheffler.

SAILED ALL NIGHT IN THE SAME
PLACE.
Just before the Farragut passert
I by the last time a schooner with a
j cargo that included a barrel of whis-i
key was sailing into Kodiak with two t
men for crew. The man who was
j steering during the daytime threw
over the anchor but kept the sails
hoisted, and the other man came to
steer for the night. The wind was
fresh and the waves beat around the
stationary vessel so that the steerer
in the dark thought he was making
good headway until day broke and he
found he was still the same distance
from shore. Then up came the day
pilot with a large quantity of the
whiskey stowed away inside his belt
and with alternate shifts to port and
starboard. The mistake was discov
ered and the last seen of the boat
she wai tacking into the harbor W’ith
apparently as great a jag on as the
man at the wheel had.
