Under the cnptlon of “Says Seward
is to be ditched for Cordova” the
, Gateway says.
There Is only too much reapon to
believe that the Alaska Steamship
company has decided to cut out Sew
ard ns the “terminal" for the west
ward run. It Is stated on the best
authority that when the new steamer
comes to take the place of the Dorn
she will make her headquarters at
Cordova instead of this place, t^ime
people directly connected with 4I10
Dorn have already received intima
tion of this fact although no official
notification has been given.

According to the hptel column of

"Judge Walker, who is a veteran
lawyer, has returned to the practice of
law at the Cook county bar. After
twenty-three years of practice in co
partnership with Judge Henry V. Free
man and 8. K. Dow. Mr. Walker wns
four yenrs United States attorney for
the Southern district of the Indian ter
ritory. Following that service he was
mnde United States attorney for the
third judicial division of Alaskn, where
he served four yenrs. Judge Walk
er was a distinguished scholar at Yale
as law student, nnd nlso was noted
for his literary taste, and graduated
with high rank In his class, and one
of his fellow class graduates was for
mer President William H. Taft. While

cently he called on Dr. RadcllfTe and
later occupied Lincoln's pew In his

“The judge come of a noted and dis

out the state, but all over the country.
Judge Walker is strong and popular
with the people, nnd his many friends
are urging that he is just the man to
put on the ticket for vice president."

AEROPLANE MOTORS
ON EVAKE LAKE
The Washington correspondent to
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer IpIIh the
following flighty story on two well
known Cordovans:
Alaska's unofficial representation In
W ashington this winter is less numer
ous than usual. In fact. George Haze
Ict and Donald A. McKenzie are the
only "regulars” here, but they aro an
adequate representation in themselves.
Further, Mr. Hazelet liaH not been here
for several years and lias an entirely
new line of Alaska stories, quite dif
ferent from the stock stuff.
It was in a hotel lobby the other
evening. Talk had turned to aero
planes.
"By the way, Mr. Hazelet," said an
Fiastern Congressman, "have your ]>eo
ple In Alaska ever tried to pro|>el
sledges with aeroplane motors and
motors? I should imagine that the
plan would work?”
Oh yes," said Mr. Hazelet. "We
applied the aeroplane propeller to the
sledge some time ago, and with excel
lent success. Kesults over snow
however, are not of the best, but
where we have a clear field of crusted
snow or n field of ice, high speed can
be attained.
"On Flyak lake, for example, neat
Cordova, we have quite a fleet ol
motor driven sleds, the propellers rls
lug up from them like windmills. II
is a faclnating sight to observe them
They make good time, too. Aboul
fortv-flve mil ah on hmir «•» ..
age.”
“Indeed,” said the astonished East
erner. “What a truly progressive peo
pie you Alaskan are. By the way
how long is Eyak lake?"
And here, of course, Donald A. Me
Kenzie, professional iconoclast, had ti
butt in.
“Five or six miles," he said, befort
Mr. liazelet could answer.
One could observe the Easterner do
Ing a sum in mental arithmetic. H<
worked tile sum in five seconds
“Ah, 1 see," he observed, coldly, am
presently he went away from there.
The annual report of the Alaski
Packers Association for 1914 shows i
Profit for the year of $789,089.42, am
the insurance fund has increased $136,
683.08. Quarterly dividends or $1.5(
I>er share have been paid during tin
year. Fifteen canneries have been op
crated during the year, fourteen it
Alaska and one on Puget sound, th<
total products of which includes 1,241,
980 cases of salmon and 3,608 barrel*
of salt salmon.

Editor Cordova Times:
I read with much Interest an arti
cle in your paper dated ('hitinn, Jan.
16th, under caption "Separate Wheat
Prom ChafT.” Subscriber has done
the two "well meaning but misguided
youths who have not been long in the
country” too much honor in placing
the credit for the movement with them
or in fact, with any two. The rea
sons for the movement have been dis
cussed openly, impersonally and with
out mnllce. The necessity is appar
ent every day, and however it may
lie no cowardice impugned to those
favoring the move.
We finite agree with the writer that
it would be better for the victim were
lie “cleaned" before rather than after
or during the process of getting him
into the condition necessary to make
the denning easy, with the conse
fluent result of having lost their
money and having been disgraced by
a debauch.
The robberies and violations rd
ferred to by "subscriber” are not con
fined to any one saloon, nor is there
anything to show that one saloon is
any better or any worse than another,
consequently it is nil ‘wheat” or nil
«»ain nc mentions tlie prop
<>rly conducted saloon, to which we
will reply ns did McGraw of (he New
York Giants baseball team, when he
was told by a baseball scout that ho
had discovered another "Ty Cobb,"
"There ain't no such animal.” Again
his assumption that violations of li
cense repuirements are easy of cor
rection. I do not think will be borne
out by the Government officials here,
whom we believe to be honest both in
their desire and their efforts to bring
such violators to justice.
During the past year much more
money than the government has re
ceived for the four saloon licenses
has been expended in cnees traceable
directly or indirectly to the saloons,
and with very few or any convictions.
And after all this effort and expense
It is possible for an intoxicated man
or an habitual drunkard to buy whis
key In any saloon if he has the price.
From five to seven resorts in the “red
light” district are openly selling li
quor without a license, a fact well
known, which no one disputes, and a
conviction seems impossible.
“The Poor Man's Club” argument
lias been used ever since there
has been an agitation against saloons,
and not without some merit. We be
lieve that eighty per cent of the la
boring men in the territory contigu
oug to McCarthy or Chltina are broke
by reason of tliiB same “Poor Man's
Club," which retards the development
of the country's resources, as it is
impossible for them to get the cloth
ing and food necessary for prospect
ing and development work.
In McCarthy are some twenty chil
dren of school age, unprovided with
a school, (a matter of sincere regret)
who dally see and hear things not cal
culated to improve their ideas of mo
rality and sobriety.
We owe them some consideration;
certainly their parents d:>, and we
cannot agree with ‘Subscriber" that
voicing a protest against a condition
that is certain to leave an Indelible
impression on llieir minds, and not
tending to their future welfare, con
stitutes an act of cowardice. We
agree (hat insufficient care is exer
cised in signing saloon petitions. The
statutes of the territory carry no pro
vision requiring saloons to close at
midnight and remain closed until t;
a. in., and if they did, and it was ob
served, it would not bring the result
“Subscribe*" thinks, that is, break
ing a protracted debauch, but would
make a longer drunk a physical pas
sibility by reason of the few hours
respite. The trend of the times is
toward prohibition, and the situation
in a great many places makes the
inevitable a condition to be desired.
