C<>RPOVA, ALASKA, MONDAY, FKBRl'ARY 1, l!>ir>.
Good evening. There is some good even in the worst of ns.
-:o:
Probably these dreary days, like the dark clouds, have a
silver lining, but it is trying on the patience to wait and see it.
-:o:—»
Cheer up! With the building of the government railroad
and the many other good things in store for Alaska some of
our imaginary ailments may be lost of.
-:o:
It is apparent that some people in Cordova are suffering
prematurely from a Spring condition. They could Ik* readily
relieved witleghubarb and sassafras tea.
--:o:
The outlook for Cordova was never brighter and it is bet
ter to 1)4 a booster Julian a knocker, for the latter never ac
complishes good for^my community.
-:o:
Some of the senators are hoping to swap the shipping bill
with talk. President Wilson is tugging away in a choppy sea,
trying to tow it to safety. These art1 signs that it may be scut
tled by his friends.
-:o:
Cordova will ind’eed be fortunate if it gets one of the six
largest naval radio stations in the United States, which Secre
tary Daniels is anxious to have constructed this year at strategic
points as a part of his naval system.
-*-:o:
Secretary Bryan has warned Carranza to seize no Aineri
can owned oil wells. It is curious how oil continues to leave
grease spots up and down the Mexican muss. The Greaser
seems to have been rightfully named after all.
-:o:
Politicians are fleeing from the wrath of their political
superiors in Mexico, the dispatches say, but that’s nothing to
waste perfectly good tears over. The United States could
spare a few without the ship of state scraping her keel.
-: o:
The Cordova Daily Times, which blossomed out into a
daily edition in December, presents an attractive appearance.
It is published by If. G. Steel, C. II. Wilcox and C. II. SchefTler.
It prints the Associated Press report.—Tacoma Daily News.
-: o: --
The suggestion has been made that the idle men of Alaska
who are able and' willing to work should be given employment
by the government on the construction of the trunk line from
this coast to interior Alaska. This would solve the labor prob
lem so far as Alaska is concerned, and would be a boon to the
territory.
-:0 :
John Muir, the naturalist, left an estate of $250,000. The
fine old man found “tongues in trees, books in tin* running
brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.” Canny
Beot that he was, he printed tin1 books and delivered the ser
mons, and'died a rich man, rich in worldly goods, but richer in
the esteem of his fellowmen.
-:o:
The Seward Gateway publishes an editorial, in which con
ditions in that town on March 1 are elaborately set forth, as the
result of the settlement of the railroad route and millionaires
are made of all of our citizens to the westward. The picture is
a rosy one and it is hoped that our neighbors will not be doomed
to disappointed, as we feel equally certain that other parts of
Alaska are to soon enjoy a certain amount of prosperity.
-:o:
Inconsistency is one of the attributes of human nature.
We find faults with our neighbors; we find faults with govern
ment officials, with the rich men and the poor men; in other
other words, we can always find fault with “the other fellow”
if he opposes us or does not agree with our views. Yet, were
we in the position of the man about whom we find fault, we
might do the same thing and in the same identical manner that
he does. You see, it makes all the difference in the world who
does the things about which we find fault.—Ketchikan Progres
sive.
Portland appointed a man to inspect mince pies. He
meandered through the restaurants, munching as he went and
the papers say he returned to his office dizzy from the amount
of liquor in the pies. Wherefore Portland has issued orders
appertaining to the quantity of brandy and the fineness thereof,
with the view of protecting the public from tin* sins of intoxica
tion. But we submit in all seriousness the question whether it
may not be a proper exercise of the police power to have mince
pies “spiked” so well that no man may be able to complete an I
average slab without being lulled into peaceful dreams. That
might be in the real interests of the public health.
■-:o:
According to a letter written by George Goshaw, former de
puty marshal at Valdez and a candidate at the last election for
the territorial legislature, to a friend in Fairbanks, which has
found its way into a newspaper of that town, there is a reign
of terror at Chisana, which is apparently i nthe hands of a band
of bad men. This information will no doubt be news to the
miners and prospectors of the new gold camp, who are mostly
sturdy pioneers and as a tine class of men as arc to be found' iii
any country. After publishing excerpts from Goshawks letter
the News-Miner adds: “This letter would indicate an un
healthy state ot affairs in the upriver country on the head of the
Tanana where men are afraid to go out of door after dark for
fear of being shot to death and robbed and where the only
trail into the country was staked against the best judgment
apparently of Chisana people. Financial conditions are not
good there either, which further complicates the dangers and
hardships of those who are remaining with the little camp.”
