MOLE GIFTS
TO GERMANY
FOR WAR
BERLIN, July 8.—A plan for safe
uarding enthusiastic donors of old
>ld, silver. Jewelry and valuables to
ie public cause, and preventing the
elting up of articles, the artistic
ilue of which is far in excess of the
trinBlc, Is now operating in Berlin.
The work Is in charge of an organ
atlon entitled "The Thanks of the
atherland,” which is raising funds I
r the benefit of fallen soldiers. To
iis cause thousands have gladly sac
flced old treasures—watches, brace
■ts, rings, earrings, necklaces, gold
and silver pins, teapots and silver
ware, corals and other of the less val
uable stones and jewels and the like.
Much has been melted up which was
of little value intrinsically but which
had high artistic value—oftentimes
unknown to the donor. Many things
’have been sacrificed that might have
graced museums and collections.
Expert jewelers and artists there
fore have agreed to give their services
now in appraising all donations. Such
as are selected as of particular value
from the artistic point of view will
not be melted but will be ottered to
museums or collectors at prices cor
responding to their appraised values.

The United Kingdom, he says, lias

CORDOVA STORES I
FORM NEW
V
The news mane public today that
Cordova’s two big stores, S. Blum & t
Co., and O'Neill & Slater Company v
had combined means a good deal for n
the town In the line of Increased ser- a
vice and lower prices. The new con- r
cern will be known as the Blum, j
O’Neill Co., and Harry O’Neill will act s
as manager. The joinder of the two f
stores will allow the management to ^
effect greater economies In purchas- t
Ing. and In operation, and It Is the t
intention of the company to allow the r
buying public of the Copper River
Valley to share In these economies by
reducing the prioe of commodities
whenever possible. Both of these
stores have been a credit to the com
munity, and both have been models of
well conducted establishments. Under
the new arrangements, when the plans
for reorganization have all been put
into effect the Blum, O’Neill Co., will
more than ever earn the confidence
and respect of the people of this sec
tion of Alaska, as far as service,
quality of goods and prices are con
cerned.
PESSIMISTIC VIEWOF *
WESTWARD SITUATION
Captain E. T .McIntyre, well known
in the Nome district passed through
Cordova this morning on Ills way from
Cook Inlet. Mr. McIntyre expressed
hirfiself in n pessimistic vein about
the new town of Anchorage. He has
been working on the Herron dredge
at Sunrise, and claimed that the
ground was full of big boulders and
that the dredge was far front beiing a
success. As to Anchorage, Mr. Mc
Intyre said that everybody was tre
mendously dissatisfied with the
actions of the government officials in
charge of the road and the townsitie.
According to the captain, 97 per cent
of the employees were foreigners, who
would spend no money in the country,
and as the government Intended to
open a commissary department, these
employees would buy what supplies
they needed from the government and
the business men would find it rough
sailing. Mr. McIntyre said that the
men had not been paid up to the time
he left there, July 6, for the previous
month, and on the whole he felt that
the chief characteristic of the new
camp was the universal cirltloism of
the officials and the absolute Inability
and helplessness of the people to
secure a change for the better.
