SHORT ARM JOLTS.
1’ceil America First” promises to be the slogan of the
fight for an embargo.
A large number of Fairbanks and interior people are arriv
ing in Cordova on every train.
Pile young folks are taking advantage of the skating on
Fyak lake during the present cold snap.
Patronize Daily Times advertisers when making your holi
day purchases and you are sure to be pleased.
1 he Fairbanks News-Miner says that its gold production
o! about $d,;>(K),000 for this year shows that the old camp still
has a kick left in her.
I t is i umored that the Carlisle Packing Company intends
starting up its plant in February and will can herring, thus
opening up a new fish industry in our midst.
Skagwny, Chitina, Sitka and a few other towns did not
wait for the rest of tin- territory to vote them dry. They al
ready occupied seats with the driver on the water wagon.
I Ik* deposits <>i the rirst Honk of Oordovo ore now n^*oilv
liall a million dollars. Isn’t this a splendid showing at a time
when many ol our industries are closed down for the winter.1
Delegate election returns continue to conic in from the out
lying precincts and as the candidates canter down the home
stretch it is evident that whoever is tin* winner will cross the
line by a nose.
Democratic office seekers in Alaska have the telephone
number of National Committeeman T. J. Donohoe, of Yald. z.
pasted in their hats and will ring him up frequently during the
next couple of months.
When you make out your list of Christmas gifts do not fail
to consult the holiday advertisements in the Daily Times. Tliev
are sure to offer you some good suggestions, and tell you where
you can get just what you want.
Word comes from the national capital that the west will
receive unprecedented recognition by appointments in tin* new
cabinet and on the large and important committees and other
bodies which congress has created.
That Alaskan named Malone who had to ‘‘pungle up” $20,
000 for toying with the affections of a Seattle young lady bar
learned a lesson. Herealter he will confine his love making to
the northern country. It’s less expensive.
Cordovans may differ politically, lml they all are of the
opinion that the* local liremen are entitled to their support and
co-operation, and intend turning out en masse at the mas<v|e
cade ball to be given by this organization on December ,'M).
1 he ( hitina-Pairbanks trail is reported in fairly good con
dition. Passengers coming to Cordova yesterday say that but
for a distance of about twenty-five miles the sledding was fine,
md with a few inches more of snow the trip will be made in
much better time.

A former Alaskan recently gave a $d0 per plate dinner to
forty guests in San Francisco. Yes, and Swift Water Hill Gates
once cornered the egg market in Dawson at once dollar per egg,
and within three* years lie was in luck if lie could corner two
eggs for his breakfast.
Copper is now bringing a higher price than at any time in
the history of the country, which means much to Cordova, a> U
is in the richest copper belt in the world. Before the war copper
could be purchased as low as eleven cents per pound, and sales
for future delivery have brought as high as thirty two cents.
Arrivals from (Jliitina ami McCarthy say that the thermo
meter at those places is flirting with thirty degrees below zero.
Here the coldest it has gotten has been six degrees above zero,
and we think we have been given a raw deal bv the weather
man. Kvidenlly we don’t appreciate how luekv we have been.
We have Leslie’s word for it that A. Cerncgie actually ba
it all planned to die poor, lie is giving away his pelf at a rate
with which not even the inglorious prosperity of the shrapnel
trade can compete. It so often happens that men live long
nongli to learn the cheapness of a mountain of gold. Verily a
rood name puts bullion to sleep.
1 lie prospect that there w ill be no extra session of congress
is causing great jubilation among the hundreds of employees
ot the house, who hold soft jobs on a fat payroll. If an extin
session Were called the house would proceed to organize and the
jobs now held by Democrats would be given to Republicans.
Otherwise the Democratic employees will serve until Deeembei
next year.
I -1 *• Douglas Island Native Progressive Club is host this
week to forty or more native sons and daughters, who are visit
ing here from Klukvvan in the (’hilkat range. The visitors wen
handed the keys ot Indian town and are being treated to tin
best their hosts can atlord. Hospitality can go no further. It
is different now from half a century ago when neighborin',
tribes met only in warfare, and for the purpose of stealing
away each other s lish scented maidens.
