greatly appreciated by the large audi

selections were “Melody of Love,” by
Englemann; “Valse,” by Friml, and
"Fireflies,” by Friml.

TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS
Beginning on March 1, the
subscription price of the Cordova
Daily Times will be $1.25 per
- month, or $12 a year if paid in
advance. This advance is abso
lutely essential on account of the
high cost of material and labor.
The Times is practically the last
of the daily newspapers in
Alaska to increase its rates, but
is now forced to take this action.
DOG DERBY IS
COMINGEVENT
THE PAS, Manitoba, Feb. 28 (by
Associated Press).—The third annual

Association—the classic of winter
struggles north of the boundary—will
take place on St. Patrick’s day, March
17. The 100-mile dash will be from

turn.
A purse of $1,000 and a gold and sil
ver cup, more than three feet in
height, will be awarded to the win
ner. The cup is the gift of Frank
Burns of Toronto. The prizes are but
a raindrop compared with the money

fanciers.
SOMETHING ABOUT SOMETHING
Just to get some little things
straightened out in the minds of our
readers, for the next few evenings
there will be published on this page
some facts and figures and also some
mighty valuable information.
Some years ago a professor was ex
perimenting with some chemicals
which had accidentally gotten on a
sheet of cloth, and while he happened
to have an electrical current passing
through a CROOKS tube (which at
that time was rather a scientific play
thing), he discovered that by looking
through the cloth at an object held
between it and the tube it was possi
ble to see diectly through it, and at!

that moment the X-ray was born, the
marvel of science. j
From this crude appliance the mod
ern X-ray machine has been devel
oped, one of which has been installed
at Cordova. To date this machine
has served many people. It has
helped to straighten limbs, repair
bones, inspect stomachs and kidneys,
locate tooth root granulomae, find gall- j
stones, diagnose sprains, and a long
list that would fill this column if item- j
ized. It has proven one of the great- j
est safeguards and comforts for diag
nosis available, and it is the purpose
of this article to call its service to the ;
minds of everyone. j
This is your machine. Its use is for
you personally. It is at the command
of every physician and every dentist
absolutely and without favor. It is j
to your interest to keep this machine
operating, as it is in Cordova, and by
your help it can be done, for no one
can tell just when they will find its
use so necessary that, should it not
be available, they would give hun
dreds of dollars to have it.
After consulting with every physi
cian and dentist in this city, the fol
lowing list of fees were arbitrarily set,
and in this connection it may be in
teresting to know that all the cash re
ceipts do not cover the actual operat
ing expense, and every month someone
has had to foot a deficit.
Plates—Large, for stomach or other
abdominal work: First picture, $12.50;
subsequent exposures, $7.50 each.
Plates—Limbs, jaws, etc: $10.00
first picture, $5.00 subsequent ex- j

Dental Films—$3.50; which take
about three or four teeth.
Dental Films—Full set of all the
teeth, requiring ten or more pictures,
$10.00.
