COKPUYA, ALASKA, TUESDAY, DECEMBKI? 12, 1016,
* Not a vacant store room on the main street speaks volumes
for the prosperity of Cordova.
——-:o:
The Fairbanks Citizen says the national Christmas gift to
Alaska is the re-election of President Wilson.
--:o:
In order to facilitate the bringing of more copper ore from
Kennecott to Cordova an extra train will be run tomorrow.

Cordova extends the glad hand to the many newcomers
"’ho are about to embark in business in our progressive little
city.
- --— :o:-—
If reports he true, all federal office holders of the Third di
vision will not be drawing salary from the government for any
great length of time.
-:o:
The startling announcement is made that milady’s dainty
loot will soon be encased in artificial silk stockings made of
wood fibre. Perish the thought.
—--:o:
There is considerable social activity about town, and this
promises to be one of the most enjoyable seasons that our resi
dents have ever spent in Cordova.
---:o;
I lie eight-hour referendum passed by an almost unani
mous vote, and there is likely to be a contest as to who will in
troduce the bill for the shorter day.
- —- :o:-—
Fncle.Sam will help you to save your spare change after
the first of the new year, by means of a postal savings hank to
be established at the local postoffice.
-• -:o:
Present prices for copper are without any doubt the high
est on record. The higher prices quoted during tin* Civil war
were measured by a depreciated currency.
-:o:
Too much credit cannot be given the young folks for taking
the initiative in providing a pond where ice skaters can indulge
m this most healthful and invigorating of sports.
—*-—-:o:
Now that the political contest is over the public is being in
formed what was previously known in business circles, viz.,
that the situation in Mexico is again very alarming.
-:o:
It is said that there are no less than a score of Democrats
who would like to have the honor of the handle of governor of
Alaska at the expiration of the present incumbent’s term.
Tlie Democratic papers now figure that Sulzer only leads
^ ickersham by twelve votes for delegate to congress. And in
this small plurality is included the big chechako soldier vote at
Tanana which was cast for Sulzer.
——-:o:
\\ ith the retirement of Attorney General Gregory from the
cabinet and in case a westerner is his successor, there is some
hope of Alaskans being named to look after the affairs of the
department of justice in Alaska.
•-:0:
()ne of the members ot the Stefansson exploring party in
the Arctic region, says the stories told in the states about tin
frozen north arc- of the “hot air'” variety, and he ought to
know because he has been in the coldest part of the country.
--:o:
It the democrats want to start something really worth
while they should indict somebody for illegal voting last No
vember 7. There is an old saying about bricks, bay windows
or stones and glass that fairly well fits the case. — Juneau Dis
patch.
-:o:
A campaign of teeth cleaning has been inaugurated among
tin* pupils of the elementary'School at Juneau. The teachers
are instructing the little* ones as to the proper manner of
thoroughly cleaning the teeth and reasons why they should be
cared for.
-:o:
In our local columns today we republish an article from
the Juneau Empire, suggesting a way to provide funds for the
maintenance <>f tin* schools after tin* territory goes dry, which
is well worth the careful consideration of every resident, of
A laska.
--:o:-_
Again tin* threat of a railway strike is looming. The rail
ways have been instituting actions to test the legality of the
Adamson law. The brotherhood's have told them to drop those
actions or face a strike on January 1. Under the new tyranny
the railways may not have the ancient Anglo-Saxon right of a
day in court.
In a very tew ot tin* outlying precincts of the territory tlm
deputy marshal and commissioner overlooked the performance
of an important function on election day—that of casting a vote
tor Sulzer for delegate to congress. And for this failure^, pro
perly “deliver the goods” there are apt to be some new fed
oral appointments soon made.
-:o:
One of the war commodities that has come down to earth
again is sulphuric acid. In the acute period this fetched $50
to $bU per ton. Ordinary tower acid is now down to about $7
to $* per ton, which is only a trifle in excess of what it used to
be in normal times. The explanation is increased production.
The consumption is still verv large.
---:o:
We might as well become reconciled to the fact that it wilt
require an official count, under the auspices of the election
board, to determine the victor in the delegate election. This
board will be composed of Democrats, but with Governor J. F.
A. Strong sitting as chairman, the friends of Delegate Wicker
sham need have no fears. lie will get a square deal.—Anchor
