Ketchikan now has two daily news
papers, the first issue of the Alaska
Chronicle having arrived on yester
day’s mail. It is an eight-page paper,
a member of the Associated Press, and
boasts a well-equipped plant. Edward
G. Morrissey and Bernard M. Stone,
two old-time Alaskans, are the pub
lishers, and they are issuing a most
creditable paper, which is entitled to
the support ’of the residents of that
town.
Seldom a day passes that the atten
tion of the Daily Times is not called
to the fact that Cordova harbors more
than its share of worthless dogs who
nightly disturb the slumbers of our
residents. In fact, this nuisance has
grown to be almost intolerable, and
unless the city council sees fit to abate
it some of our citizens threaten to
take the law' into their own hands
and start a wholesale extermination
of these canines.
Now that the president of the school
board has returned from a trip to the
States, that body is to be called to
gether and the selection of teachers
made.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The average newspaper man takes
a seat on the hellbox and thinks deeply
when he reads that a big bruiser like
Jack Dempsey is paid ten thousand
dollars a week in vaudeville.—Juneau
Empire.
Mr. Grigsby was seated as delegate
to congreses without a dissenting vote,
notwithstanding that a hearing of both
sides of the question was held. Mr.
TVickersham must have a number of
good friends in congress among the
Republicans.—Douglas News.
Billy Sunday says that if the Lord
would send him to hell he would de
populate it. Guess that’s right. If
we were there and saw Billy coming
we’d certainly leave if possible.—Sew
ard Gateway.
The Teikell district is receiving
much favorable attention at the pres
ent time, many prospectors leaving
for that point over the trail. Some
of the richest ore samples ever seen
in Valdez came from the Teikell coun
try. Several companies have started
operations there this spring, and oth
ers will follow.—Valdez Miner.
POPULARITY OF FIESTA
ON WANE IN MEXICO
MEXICO CITY, June 30 (by mail).—
With St. John’s clay come and gone
again for another year, the newspapers
of the capital are' unanimous in ask
ing why this one-time prominent fiesta
is waning in popularity. The holiday
occurs on June 24, and was early writ
ten into the customs of the Mexicans
as a day for a bath and for a feast
celebrating the nativity of St. John
the Baptist.
This year, according to the news
papers, there was a marked decrease
in the observance of the day. The
bath houses, which in former years did
capacity business from early dawn un
til noon, were not busy. The holiday
spirit was lacking. In the Zocalo, the
principal place of the city, where on
holidays booths are erected for the
sale of food, drinks and trinkets, only
a thin line of stalls marked the line
for promenaders. The decadence of
the fiesta was everywhere apparent.
Whites and natives, working for
three days and nights almost unceas
ingly, saved the town of Susitna from
destruction by serious forest fires.
The town for a time was surrounded
by the flames and several cabins were
destroyed.
