CORDOVA, AI .ASK A, FRIDA V, OCTOBER s. 1!>i:>.
The cutting of a large quantity of lumber at Portage Bay
has aroused some curiosity at Seward and the Gateway is au
thority for the statement that Mssrs Edes and Riggs know
nothing about it being for the government railroad. The fact
remains that a large sawmill is in operation sit Portage Bay
and three hundred thousand' feet of lumber has already been
cut. Several months ago when John Enlund, an old-time Alas
kan, was in Cordova on his way outside, he informed the
writer that he had the contract for two million feet of lumber
from the Engineering Commission and was going to Seattle to
get the necessary mill with which to cut this timber. Since
then he has been actively engaged upon this work and judging
from the conflicting statements made there is somebody not
telling the truth.
()ld Franz Joseph, emperor of Austria-Hungary, is a tough
old' chap. Ho recently passed his eigthy-fifth anniversary and
has bee non the throne sixty-seven years. He began his reign
by a war with Hungary; he has had’ plenty of wars since; he
has had domestic sorrows—tragic and terrible enough to break
the heart and courage of ninety out of every hundred men, but
he bears up against everything and seems as full of fight as he
was half a century ago. He is certainly “One of the real Auld
stock.”
Over twenty secret indictments have been returned by the
present grand' .jury and there are rumors afloat that some of
the people connected with the building of the government rail
road at Anchorage have been caught in the drag-net. The
fishing interests to the westward are also included among those
against whom the law is reaching out after, but as to the truth
of these conjectures, which is all they are, time alone will tell.
Judge Wickersham is soon to be with us and the word has
gone forth that he will take a “swing around the circle,” to
see how his political fences are standing up, before again en
tering, upon his duties at Washington jib Delegate to Congress
from Alaska.
Just why there should be anv discrimination in favor of
Anchorage in the press rate on messages from S* •■dth« miss“th
our understandmnr. B"t mnvV> there’s a reason, and if so we
would be glad to be enlightened.
Anchorage is to have a public school building, says
Lieutenant Mears, provided the residents of that town dig
down in their pockets and' subscribe enough money to sustain
the school.
Itinerant peddlers are taxed fifty dollars a day in Cordova
and seven cents a day in Seward'. There is a chance yet that
our copper output will boat that burg.—Seward Gateway.
Washington, Oregon and California lead the Union in good
rojid. An eastern expert says so. The West moves rapidly,
and good thoroughfares accelerate progress.

The determination of Japan to spread Buddhism in China
should stimulate Christain missionaries to a determination to
win more Japan knees.
Col. Sleicher continues to tell some truths about Alaska in
Leslie’s Weekly. His series of articles on this Northland are
well worth reading.
A return of the good old days at Nome is apt to materalize
if the several recent placer strikes pan out and here’s hoping
that they do.
In Russia they have been striking to force the czar to re
call the (lunm. In America Dumba is recalled for promoting
strikes.
Villa’s envoy threatens anarchy in Mexico if Carranza is
recognized. But could matters be any worse than they have
been?
The Texas quaratine to keep out suspicious Mexicans ap
propriately ranks troublesome greasers with other microbes.
Life is one dam thing after another, but don’t the dams
give the stream of power it would never have without them?
Cupid has certainly been working overtime at the \\ bite
House since the Hon. Woodrow Wilson became president.
While the moving linger writes and having writ moves on,
the moving picture flits and having flit moves on.
Germany seems determined to get Serbia in a pickle just
at the height of pickling time.
Prisoners of war usually accept capture as sufficient war
rant for a rest.
