THE GRIM REAPER
Cordova was shocked and grieved
to learn of the sudden death of our
townsman, Mr. Max Finkelstein,
which occurred in Seattle. When he
left here about a month ago Mr. Fin
kelstein was in the enjoyment of the
best of health, and it was only after
an illness of a couple of days that he
was called to his final resting place.
In his death Cordova has lost one
of its leading merchants and a be
loved citizen. Always active in every
movement for the good of the com
munity, Mr. Finkelstein’s death is a
distinct loss to Cordova, and li£ is
mourned by all of his friends and
acquaintances.
Too high a tribute can not be paid
to Mr. Finkelstein for his devotion
and love to his family, and the sym
pathy of the community is extended
to a grief-stricken wife and four chil
dren. God comfort, and pity them all.
HYDER HAS NEWSPAPER
The initial issue of the Hyder,
Alaska, Miner has been received, and
it is a newsy weekly, containing much
reading matter of interest from that
new mining camp.
Under the heading, “Klosh, Kla
how-ya” (which is Chinook for “Good;
how do you do?”), the Miner heralds
itself in this wise:
“It is customary for the perpetrator
of a new newspaper to make excuses
in the first issue for its birth. Among
the highbrows this would probably be
called a ‘salutatory.’ When the last
number of an expiring sheet gives its
pre-mortuary gasp, an obituary notice
appears at the head of the editorial
column.
“The Hyder Alaska Miner is going
lu liitirvr; mi ***'
its existence at the newest and great
est mineral belt of the Northwest
should be patent to anyone acquaint
ed with local conditions.
“Neither will there be any obituary,
for the very simple reason that none
will be necessary.
“It is enough to state at this time
that the editor of this paper is an old
timer in Western mining camps, and
fortunate in having the acquaintance
of a large proportion of the town’s
pioneers. TTe wants to keep in con
tinual touch with them and to get ac
quainted with the others, so that all
may pull together for the fulfillment
of Hyder’s destiny.
“With a continuance of the spirit in
which the town has been established,
Hyder will soon be the biggest town
in Alaska, as it is now' the busiest and
brightest.
“But it’s up to everyone to keep
boosting.
“The Miner will do its share.”
Our old friend Doc Cook, who found
the North Pole and climbed Mount Mc
Kinley, has just discovered an oil
■well, which he claims will yield 5,000
barrels of oil a day. but we’ll bet a
cookie that the king of Denmark
won’t buy any of the stock.—Colum
bus Dispatch.
The strike of the allied building
trades collapsed the other day after
a two months’ war. The carpenters
and bricklayers and all the others en
gaged in the building trades went back
to work at the wages prevailing be
fore the strike was called. The only
result was that workingmen lost two
months of work, consumed much of
their savings without adding anything
to their holdings, and school buildings
and many others were either not con
structed or the work on many of them
was greatly delayed. Instead of los
ing the two golden hours apostro
phized by Horace Mann, Seattle and
her workers lost two whole months.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS |
Wrangell has a street known as
Grief street—and people live in it.
Easy street, Fairbanks, was not a
residential district, and its name was
changed.—Juneau Empire.
There might be some compensation
in the First division divorcing itself
from the rest of the territory: A few
territorial appointments might filter
into the rest of the divisions.—Valdez
Miner.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and a day of
rest, and everybody will be thankful
for that in Our Town. Not that the
weekdays are unrestful, or anything
like that, but on a weekday you are
obliged to “carry on,” and how can
you carry on when there’s no real
carrying on to do? So, Sunday comes
as a day upon which you don’t have
to keep up the bluff, and you can rest
without your conscience sticking pins
into you. The man who invented the
calendar was a wise man, for he budd
ed wiser than he knew when he stuck
Sundays through the calendar at reg
ular intervals. To him we now ex
tend our personal thanks.—Fairbanks
News-Miner.
The city treasury is now many thou
sands of dollars richer by the receipt
of delinquent taxes. The city council
should now take positive steps to
ward the building of a city hall for
Seward. If this is not done now,
when there is money in the treasury,
the city hall will continue to be on
.the waiting list for years to come.
Unless a certain sum is put aside for
the erection of a city hall, the money
will go by driblets, until it is all spent.
Now is the time for the city council
to do something on this matter of a
building for the city, on property
which is owned by the city and was
purchased for a city building.—Sew
