H. Q. STEEL, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
CORDOVA, ALASKA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1916.
”----—--;-1
Really about the only complaint his opponents make to
him is that he Hughes close to the line.
“Cordova, the home of the clam,” means a great deal more
to this community than appears on the surface.
-:o:
What are we doing by way of manicuring the Glad Hand
for the candidates who will shortly be with us?
-;o:
The situation in the Balkans gives the kaiser something to
occupy any time that has been idle upon his royal hands.
-:o:
Admiral Goodrich made an initial visit to Cordova last
night, and the good ship Aeroline is just as welcome under its
new name.
-:o:
Xo excuse for uncleanlinoss on account of a scarcity of
water, as nature has been unduly gracious in that direction for
some time past.
-:o:
The eitv council verv wiselv increased the nierht patrol
during the couple of days of last week that the wind howled so,
and thus lessened the fire risk.
-:o:
This is a poor community for petty thieves to ply their vo
cation. They cannot “get hv” with that kind of work, and
after apprehended have plenty of time to repent of their folly.
-:o:
Active preparations are under way by the Cordova Build
ing Association to provide houses for those of our constantly
increasing population who desire to secure a home of their own
on easy payments.
-:o:
Even if tin* whole town is cast into utter darkness, Captain
Lathrop wields his magic wand and a flood of electricity fills
the Empress theatre. He gave a practical demonstration of
this power last night.
..— ■—:o:
No surer sign of sloppy weather than the news that worn
on V skirts are to he longer. And it is perfectly fair to assume
that whatever scenic attractions we are deprived of in one di
rection will be made up amply in another.
-:o;
Hereafter there is to he no booze, banquets or joy rides to
the polls, which means that the elections in Alaska are to be
conducted along different lines than in the past. For this re
form we are indebted to the last legislature.
---:o:
Bishop Howe complains that the government in laying out
the town of Anchorage, made no provision for churches to get ;
close in lots. Perhaps Uncle Sam thought that a town with a
name like that didn’t need a Bock of Ages.
-:o:
The decision to build the government $20,000,000 nitrate
plant in the south is no surprise. The deflection of the admin
istration’s compass in that section has not beam disturbed by
demonstrations from other parts of the realm.
-;<| :
Ill a lew weeks tile government cable tolls will be material
ly reduced, wliiclt will help some. Now if we could have a
twenty-four hour service and the cable kept in fairly good work
ing order there would he much to he thankful for.
-:o:
Some people suffer so much from a spinal ailment which
seeminglv makes it impossible for them to stand by their acts,
but this is not the case with the average Cordovan, who knows
how to go after what la* wants and usually lands it.
-:o:
Seattle lias hornswoggled the state university into giving
a site for a high school building on the state university
grounds, saving the city a handsome sum of money. No doubt
an attempt now will he made to have the state erect the build
ing.
-:o:
The municipality can make a judicious expenditure of the
people’s money in prov iding the fire department with sufficient
hose so that some of it can be kept on Fourth street, as a protec
tion against a conflagration some day among the homes on the
hill.
---:o:
Thtrc was nearly $.‘1,000,000 worth of copper ore shipped
from Cordova last month, as well as several hundred thousand
dollars worth of canned salmon and clams. No other port in
Alaska can boast any such record, and the good work is still
going on.
-:o:
President Wilson has telegraphed Democratic National
Committeeman T. J. Donohoe endorsing the candidacy of
Charles A. flulzsr for delegate to congress from Alaska. A good
good political move, and one which Woodrow also made when
t.li.,I! fn ronrnsmit tin* territory nt Wash
.. •
ingtou.
-;0:
Among the passengers coming to Cordova on the North
western is a railway mail clerk and lie is likely to be attached
to the local postoffice. Inspector Neil is authority for the state
ment that Uncle Sam could get better and cheaper help from
the states than if lie employed residents of the territory. An
other evidence of the fallacy of the slogan, “Alaska for
Alaskans.”
-:o:
Every once in a while Alaska is visited by a personal rep
resentative of Secretary of the Interior Lane and for the past
few days it was Cordma’s pleasure to have for its guest one of
these personages, the Hon. J. 0. Cotton, a prominent New York
Attorney. Of course we know what his report will be in refer
cnee to the government railroad, which he has been investigat
ing, but we prefer to let the information percolate from Wash
ington. , -
