CHITINA, ALASKA, SATURDAY, MAY 11, 1912.
THERE IS STILL WORK TO DO
This afternoon the people of Cordova commemorated the
coal party of a year ago, that assisted in awakening the public
conscience to the wrong that was being done Alaska in tying up
our coal and oil lands. The resolutions adopted indicate the
impatience, not only of the people of Cordova, but of entire
Alaska, over the dilatory methods pursued by Congress and the
administration in withholding justice from a sorely tried peo
ple. The Cordova coal party on May 4,1911, assisted in bring
ing to the attention of the country the great injustice that has
been done the people of Alaska in tying up our resources. But
the man who may devise some method to compel the powers
that be to jar loose and permit the legitimate use of these same
resources, will be entitled to more than the heartfelt gratitude
of an impoverished people.

BROWSING AMONG JUDICIAL TIMBER
The report comes from Washington that the President and
Attorney General have been considering various names sug
gested for the appointment to succeed Judge Cushman in the
Third division of Alaska. Prominent among these is that of the
present district attorney, George R. Walker. Much attention
has been given to the claims of a prominent attorney from the
State of Washington, not a resident of Seattle, and not Elmer
E. Hayden, of Tacoma, who had expected the appointment to
succeed Judge Donworth, but who does not desire to come to
Alaska. The names of Albert Fink, formerly of Nome, and of
T. C. West, of Fairbanks and San Francisco, have also been fa
vorably presented to the President by various supporters. As
practically all the political conventions this year have declared
in favor of Alaskans for Alaska offices, it is presumed that if
an acceptable man from this territory can be secured he would
have the preference. National Committeeman Shackleford is |
now in Washington, and he may make a suggestion or two that
might find weight with the President, although in selecting ju
dicial timber the President is not usually concerned much about
politics. An in the meantime many people in this division con
tinue to wonder who the lucky individual is to be.

A MORE EXPANSIVE POLICY
(Prom Cordova Daily Alaskan.)
The report published yesterday that there ia soon to be
n change in the management and policy of the Copper River &
Northwestern Railway and the Alaska Steamship Company,
has very naturally caused considerable interest in this com
munity. The retirement of head officials usually means more
or less change in the personnel of subordinates, and sometimes
hastens contemplated removals. The people of Cordova have
every confidence that the policy of the companies named will
be progressive, and that no backward step will be taken. And
if the rumor be true, as reported, that their plans will include
enlargement and expansion, it will be welcome news to the
people of the Copper River country. Those things that will
tend to the development of the interior country will assist in
the upbuilding of the seaport terminus. The people of Cordova,
who have invested their money here, have always had faith
that this is to become the big permanent town of Alaska. And
after the coal is opened up, smelter and big bunkers erected
here, naval coaling station established, and supplies furnished
to several thousand men employed at the interior mines, Cor-,
dova will be a hummer. It will require a little more patience
before the desired aims can be accomplished, but as an intui
tive woman expresses it, “See Cordova in two years.”

VALUABLE NAVAL ACQUISITION
"When the new dry dock at Bremerton is completed this
year it will be among the greatest and most valuable of Uncle
Sam’s possessions.. The Post-Intelligencer truly says that this
navy yard at the present time is the only one on the Pacific
shore of this continent where a battleship can be docked and re
paired. The dock, the cornerstone .of which has just been laid,
will be the greatest in size of any owned by the government
anywhere. Its size alone is not so important as its location. It
is a dock which can be entered at almost any stage of the tide
by any warship, without assistance. The existing dock at the
navy yard is probably the only one on this continent which was
ever entered by a battleship under her own steam, without even
the assistance of a tug.
In proportion to the amount expended upon it, the navy
yard on Port Orchard is the best investment in the direction
ever made by the government. The land was purchased for a
song. The original dock, of timber, was constructed at a cost
much less than the estimate and has lasted far longer than it
was anticipated that any such dock could last. It has never
showed any signs of deflection, probably because of the splen
did natural foundation upon which it rests. The new dock is of
stone and concrete, and will last as long as docks are needed,
perpetually, ita fact. It is as valuable to the navy as any battle
ship might well be; and should this country ever again become
involved in a war its value is likely to be demonstrated over
and over again.
EDITORIAL COMMENT
Petty government officials in Alaska make stronger the
demand for home rule.
Another thing to think about is that if Clark should be
elected we would have that “houn’ dawg” with us for four
years.
An active Chamber of Commerce, officered with live and
resourceful men, is a powerful instrument for good in any
community.
It’s nearly time for the Socialists to announce the result
of their referendum vote and tell us whom they expect to elect
from Alaska as a delegate to Congress.
Mr. Pinchot asserts that Senator LaFollette is “over
wrought.” The man who discovers that he has been bunkoed
very frequently gets that way. There are many of the same kind
of people in Cordova and other towns in Alaska.
There is just one objection that we have to a territorial
government in Alaska. It might have the effect of lessening
the assumed power of some of the peanut federal officials who
now lord it over good American citizens in this Northland.
We hardly believe that Judge Hanford would include
United States Commissioner Alien Healy in the following cate
gory: “In admitting aliens to citizenship in this country those
who come with an honest purpose to become good citizens add
something to the power of the government; they add something
to the wealth and the resources of this country; they make for
the peace and welfare of all the people of the country.”
The man who figures on coal supplies has been busy in Tex
as, and he has run into millions—just as have the experts who
delight to tell of the Bering River and Matanuska fields in
Alaska. In Texas the bituminous fields are said to cover 8,200
square miles. The estimated original supply of bitiiminous
coal in that state is given at 8,000.000,000 short tons, and of lig
nite at 23,000,000,000 tons—a total of 31,000,000,000 tons. Evi
dently there is enough fuel in Texas to last a while.
“Pie, just so it is pie that they get, is all that the North
Carolina Republican pie brigade is after,” asserts the Raleigh
(N. C.) News and Observer. Our North Carolina contemporary
does not seem to have caught the up-to-date Democratic doc
trine on pie. It is a firm article of faith with them that they
are going to capture the pie this year, in which case it becomes
a God-given delicacy, concocted for the express nurture and
sustenance of the unterrified Democracy. The faithful in Alas
ka have already fitted up a large-sized counter.
