Delegate Wickersham writes the
the local Chamber of Commerce, ac
knowledging a copy of a resolution
drafted requesting the Immediate de
termination of the matter of the site
for a public building at Cordova, and
since his letter was written the Treas
ury Department has selected the site
adjourning the Windsor Hotel and the
deed to the lots have been turned over
to the department by the Townsite
Company, as published exclusively in
The Times last week. How matters
were expedited is shown by the fol
lowing excerpt from Delegate Wick
ersham’s letter: “Some days ago I
went with Mr. Hazelet to see the
Secretary. We saw the assistant
secretary and supervising architect,
who have charge of these matters
but did get as much satisfaction as we
had hoped. Mr. Hazelet made an ar
rangement to go back with the sup
port of some other parties and I think
they will get it fixed satisfactorily.
Hazelet has gone into the matter very
fully and understands now that there
is nothing more to be done except to
wait the regular course of the sup
ervising architect's work to get the
building erected. The appropriation
is made, the money is available and
everything is done that can be done
except to prepare the plans and th«
architect will do that as soon as he
can reach it, in the regular way. I
congratulate you upon the fact that
you are certain to get the work com
pleted at an early date.”

HIS IN EYE ON ALASKA
"Alaska, the Treasure Box of the
World,” is the title of a new book to
be issued by the Mechanics Publish
ing Company at Seattle, and Cordova
is invited to furnish some data and il
lustrations setting forth the resources
of the Copper River valley. The au
thor of the book says: “Alaska is to
day the central attraction of investors
and financiers, and there is no longer
any doubt but that the territory has
come into its own. There Is going to
be a big rush of people^ both investors
and homseekers into Alaska this year
and the more Information we are able
to spread the greater increase in these
classes there will be.”

LIBERAL CONTRIBUTION
FOR TRAIL FUND DEFICIT
In the building of a winter trail from
McCarthy to the Sushanna gold camp,
which work was undertaken by the
business people of Cordovn when the
big stampede was on to the new dig
gings, there was a deficit of about
$2,300. The money to meet most of
thes bills was advanced by local pub
lic spirited citizens and as it is de
sired to wiped out this Indebtedness
an effort is being made to secure the
necessary amount. The Copper River
& Northwestern railway was appealed
to for a contribution and Supt. Corner
has had advices from Vice President
Baxter that their company was willing
to assist in meeting the deficit In a
sum not exceeding $1,000. This the
committee considers a liberal ofTer and
ns a number of business people are
willing to subscribe liberally it is not
believed that any difficulty will be ex
perienced in raising the necessary
amount to cancel all obligations.

tNGLANU UISGARDS MANY
DRUGS DEGLARED IMPURE
LONDON, Jan. 11—(Correspondence
of the Associated Press)—The adop
tion of the metric system by the new
British Pharmacopei, Is not the only
revolutionary change of the new code.
Over ItiO of the old drugs are discarded
and about 40 new one introduced.
Stricter tests for inpurities are also re
quired.
The new pharmacopeia strikes from
its lists such familiar drugs as sars
aprllla, gamboge, musk and dandelion
extract. Among the new druge are
recorded acetyl salicylic ncid, whose
trade name of aspirin seems to be
taboo, and diethyl-barbituric acid.
Common known by Its German name
of vernoal. Adrenalin resocin and
>
senna pods are included.
Some of the drugs are much potent
under the old standard. Tincture of
Strophanthus is four times Its former
strength and the new laudanum 3.1 per
cent, stronger than formerly. But nux
vomica has been reduced to about half
of Its strength.
