King Gustave is shaking the mailed fist.

General Carranza has declared an open season for bandits.

Asked for peace—that’s the sum total of the Ford expedi
tion.

-:o:
Assurances of a bumper ice crop may add something to,the
radiations of prosperity.
-:o:
The warning to coasters by Chief l)oole\ was timely amt
if heeded may save some of the youngsters from meeting with
accidents.
--:o:
An exchange recently remarked that “Anchorage is drunk
with evil and sin,” and we presume the devil has been bootleg
ging again.
-:o:
The Eagles have planned to give their friends a good time
at their anniversary dance and entertainment scheduled for
tomorrow night.
-:o:
Two trains daily is a schedule the Copper River railway is
observing during the* winter months in Alaska, and is a recoid
of which Supt. Corner may justly teel proud.
--:o:—
While (ford* va is not seeking the Republican territorial
convention, it is no' adverse to having it. held at either Valdez
or Seward, just to demonstrate that we have a trieudI\ feeling
towards the towns to the westward.
-:o:
Old Sol certainly did himself proud yesterday. Keep up
the good work. A little more of the same sunshine is always
welcome, and' also has a tendency to make our friends on the
Pacific coast regret that they are not residents of Alaska.
__-:t) ;-■
Copper continues at a top-notch price, and Cordova has
t he distinction of being one of the greatest ore ports in the
world, the value of the copper glance alone shipped from here
to the smelter every month has a value of approximately
$2,000,000.
Anchorage has organized a labor union for the purpose of
keeping up wages at the terminal, and particularly on railroad
work, rf this movement is conducted along right lines, and
we have no reason to doubt that it will not, it should result in
considerable benefit to the laboring man.
.---:o:
The incoming boats bring a large number of people to Cor
dova, and beginning next month both steamship lines are
going to greatly increase their service. As a result there will
he a passenger vessel here from the States every couple of
days, besides an augmented fleet of freighters to handle our
ore shipments.
----:o:
Tin government cable is still out of commission, and the
■whereabouts ot the Burnside is a myster\. lu the meantime
the navy wireless station is handling the commercial business
and press dispatches. Some day the present cable, which has
seen better days, will be replaced and the public given the con
tinuous service it is entitled to.
-:o:
The postoffice department asks for an increase of 44 per
cent in the salaries of the heads of the four bureaus. Perhaps
the postmaster general figures that since the salaries of many
clerks and carriers have been cut, the saving is great enough
to justify the increase in the pay of men at the head of the
service.— Fairbanks News—Miner.
There was considerable politics talked in town last night,
as several of the Republican committeemen were here on their
way to Seward to attend the territorial committee meeting.
Chairman ('has. F. Herron was among the Cordova visitors,
and he is strongly ip favor of allowing the voters of Alaska to
have the proper representation and say at the convention
which will name the candidates to be voted for next November.
Heretofore, both political parties in the territory have been
controlled by self-appointed bosses, which was an unfortunate
condition, and is not likely to be the case this year.
--:o:
Cordova was never more prosperous than now, since the
railroad construction days. The number of men on the payroll
is large, and quite a few families have recently located here,
and the outlook for the future is most promising. A force of
about 150 will be given employment in the reconstruction of the
jCe_breaker at Mile 49, before the end of the month. Two new
salmon canneries are in course of construction, a new clam
plant is now in operation, and another will soon be ready to put
up a pack. These industries will materially help the business
of the town, and as a consequence our people are happy and
contented. <
