MORE PEOPLE
ARRIVE HERE
There has been considerable specu
lation as to the present population of
Cordova, and in order to settle a
controversy as to whether more peo
ple departed from here than new ar
rivals during the past year, General
Agent Tracy, of the Alaska Steamship
Company, made a compilation of the
passenger lists, over their line, from
January 1 last up to date, and found
that Cordova has gained instead of
lost in population during the past
year.
The figures show that during that
period 2,357 booked passage from this
port, both south and to the westward.
There were also 2,310 arrivals from
the south, and while no record is kept
of those reaching here from the west
ward, the number can be conserva
tively estimated at 200, making the
total of incoming passengers 2,510—
a gain of 153.
On the Pacific Steamship Company's
boats it is believed that there were
more arrivals than departures, as
their boats southbound are usually
crowded before reaching Cordova.

graphic story is fully outlined in Cecil

Everything you want to know about
“The Clever Mrs. Carfax,” which will
be shown Sunday evening at Empress
theater. Julian Eltinge is the new
screen star that everyone is talking
about, his film debut having been at
the Rialto theater, New York city,
recently in “The Countess Charming,”
when he kept the S. R. O. sign out on
that theater for a whole week. Known
to the theatrical world as its greatest
feminine impersonator, Julian Eltinge
is now surpassing that record on the
screen and “The Clever Mrs. Carfax”
is even funnier than "Cousin Lucy,”
“The Crinoline Girl” or “The Fasci
nating Widow.”
