CORDOVA, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY UHd,
THE TOWN WITH A “PUNCH” IN IT.
This town of Anchorage lias a “punch” in it that if per
sisted in means a big future for it. The energy and enterprise
of residents of a community play a most important part in the
upbuilding of a town. Here, our residents do things. They
turn out in number to about everything that’s going on, from
a church service to a wrestling match. They take an absorb
ing interest in anything pertaining to the town’s welfare. They
contribute liberally when the occasion demands. Take in tin*
matter of the dog team racing events. The committee in charge
went about the town the other day and achieved fine success
in the matter of donations to make the affair a success. “An
chorage, the town with a ‘punch’ in it," would he a fitting
slogan for this community. Andrew Christensen, chief of
fluid division of the land department, and manager of sales in
+lie disposal of town lots here, attended a meeting of the local
Chamber of Commerce, about everybody there, and' the meet
ing place crowded, got up and expressed his opinion on the
subject under discussion. “1 like that spirit,” said Mr. Chris
tensen to the Pioneer man. “It shows interest in the town's
welfare. ’ —Anchorage Pioneer.
DOING GOOD WORK FOR ALASKA.
The Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
of which Scott Bone is chairman, lias started'a campaign which
will unquestionably do more towards opening up Alaska than
all of the work heretofore done. And Secretary McPherson,
of that bureau, i or-* of the busiest men in this city.
Several liundn d of the leading business men are writing
personal letters to their most influential friends and lmsiness
associates throughout the United States telling of the needs of
Alaska, what its development means to the nation, and how
they can help. Many thousands of such letters are being sent
out, and already answers, which are being indexed and filed
by the bureau, are pouring in.
While this is but one feature of the campaign which is
being conducted, it is an important step in preparedness, for
the bureau will have an organization, extending into every
congressional district in America, of men who are willing to
do anything which may be asked of them to further the inter
ests of Alaska.
Enemies of the Chamber of Commerce have, in the past,
stated that that body is working in the interest of the Guggen
hoims. Nothing farther from the truth. That story was
started in other cities along the coast, jealous of the Alaska
trade which conies to this city. Anybody with a particle of
sense knows that there could by no possibility be a word ot
truth in it.—Seattle Argus.

With its characteristic blarney the Seward Gateway at
tempts to excuse its veiled attack on Senator Knute Nelson,
in insinuating that la1 was opposed to tin1 railroad appropria
tion because he was a Cordova property owner. Among other
equally childish things it says:
“The Times itself would not surely consider a man a
criminal or an idiot for paying good' money for its real estate,
and it just as surely would not consider its own city a blot on
the face of civilization because it took that filthy lucre for
some of its lots.”
This kind of argument needs no reply. Senator Nelson or
any one else has a perfect right to invest their money in Cor
dova, or any other town, if they see fit, but the fact that the
statement was incorrect and manufactured out of whole cloth
for the purpose of creating a false impression is what we took
nvaor it inn to

Considerable opposition has developed in the United
States Senate to the confirmation of Attorney U. L). Brandeis
as a member of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Justice Lamar. The principal objection to
Brandeis is the fact that Clifford Pinehot is espousing his
candidacy.
-:o:
The emergency appropriation of $2,000,000 for the con
tinuance of winter work on the construction ot Alaska’s gov
ernment railroad having passed both Houses means that from
this time forward there will be considerable activity at the
towns to the westward.
-.—to:
Cordova has a live Chamber of Commerce, which is always
on tin* alert to promote the best interests of the town, and for
this reason its membership should include all residents of the
community.

Valdez feels the need of additional fire apparatus, and the
