GOOD NEWS FOR CORDOVA
The town of Cordova is certainly in possession of good
news today. A forward step has been taken toward securing
the much desired and needed federal building for this town.
And with the department officials at Washington, the delegate
to Congress from Alaska and the Governor of the Territory,
all getting interested in the project of a building for Cordova,
we have reason for seeing visions of that hundred thousand dol
lars being expended in our midst in building an edifice that will
be a credit to the territory and reflect the wisdom of Congres
sional action. The effort to impress this necessity upon the
powers that be was started more than a year ago, and it now
devolves upon the new Chamber of Commerce to see that it is
pushed forward to a fruitful consummation. The new organi
zation has already given evidence that it is progressive and un
tiring in its efforts at accomplishment, and every citizen of Cor
dova who has the interests of the town at heart, will lend all
the moral and financial assistance that is within their power, to
sustain and encourage the men who are doing the actual work
for the betterment of Cordova.

THAT MUCH-NEEDED SUMMER ROAD
On the steamer that sailed last night hundreds of letters
went from the Cordova Chamber of Commerce and individual
citizens to members of Congress. They all urge the liberal ap
propriation of road funds for Alaska, so that the much desired
summer road between Chitina and Fairbanks may be construct
ed. If this boon is granted it will mean that the United States
mail and passengers may travel from Seattle and the coast at
Cordova to the Tanana valley in a few days instead of weeks,
as heretofore. This town is now thoroughly awakened to the
necessity of helping along the work so persistently carried on
by the Fairbanks Commercial Club. And no possible effort
should be spared in securing the desired result. On this sub
ject the Fairbanks Times says:
“Just as the pen is mightier than the sword, the private
letter is stronger than the petition. Of course it takes many
private letters to do the work. The private letter is expected
to do much of the work that will result in securing an auto
mobile road from Fairbanks to Chitina—private letters to per
sons who have influence or are connected with legislation in
Washington. Such letters are now being sent by the Commer
cial Club. Every citizen who is acquainted with any influen
tial person on the outside can help in the work.”

FISHER’S PRACTICAL SCHEME.
About the soundest and most practical suggestion which
has yet been advanced in the matter of furnishing Alaska with
needed transportation facilities comes from Secretary Fisher.
He has for some time advocated the construction by the gov
ernment of a railroad from Seward, by way of the Matanuska
coal fields, into the interior of Alaska, the government to take
over the existing mileage of the Alaska Northern Railroad.
Now he couples this suggestion with the further one that,
immediately on the completion of the Panama Canal, the plant
there Assembled, os so much of it as may be needed, together
with me trained force which has been digging the canal, be
transported to Alaska and set to work on this government
rpad. Jp.e shows that in the work of digging the canal there
hksj'* a an immense amount of railroad construction of a tem
,kind; that there has been assembled a large amount of
^d equipment which will not be needed when the canal
red, and that most of this could be used on a government
Jftd in Alaska, thus cheapening the cost of construction
ceriallv.
I This is eminently a practical suggestion in every respect.]
t^he government has a trained construction force working on
(he fsthmus, the finest which has ever been assembeld in the
jyprjd’s history. Under ordinary conditions, with the comple
tion of the Panama Canal, this splendidly efficient machine
wifi disband and its working parts will be dissipated into new
employment, The machinery’, railroad equipment, etc., used
in construction work will be sold at a petty faction of its origi
nal cost.
This splendidly efficient machine, splendidly equipped,
built up by years of hard work, could be put to no better public
use than in the construction of the proposed railroad, which
must be built by the government, if at all, fo rthe government
policy has driven capital out of such work in Alaska. It is al
together probable that, using the Panama force and the Pana
,ma equipment as it stands, the government could in fact build
a railroad in Alaska far cheaper than any private contractor
could do the work. Congress should accept the suggestion.—
Post-Intelligencer.

It sure does look as though the Democrats themselves had
some confidence in the ultimate success of their party in the na
tional fight. When you can get Democrats of Alaska striving
for an opportunity to serve their party in convention, and par
cel out the federal appointments among the faithful—and un
faithful alike—they certainly have hopes that official pap is
soon to be administered to a hitherto forlorn but ever hopeful
lot of patients. _ _ _ _
TWO TERMS OF COURT
FI JORDOVA
Cordova will have a special term
of court commencing May 20. A
few equity cases will be heard and
no juries summoned. After finish
ing this work Judge Cushman will
go to Juneau and relieve Judge Ly
ons. He will hold a short session
there and later will go to the west
ward on a revenue cutter to hold
court wherever it is necessary.
Judge'Cushman has also announc
ed that he will hold a special term
of court at Cordova, beginning Oc
tober 14, at which t’me grand and
petit jurors will be summoned. A
special equity term will be held at
Valdez, beginning September 25. An
other special term wiil be held at
Valdez next November, beginning on
the 18th. A petit jury will be sum
moned for this term, but no grand
jury.
At the present term of court at
Valdez the grand jury made its re
port several days ago and all crimi
nal cases ready for trial have been
disposed of. The petit jury has
been excused until April 8. The be
ginning of April, the Hawkins bank
case, for which numerous witnesses
are coming from. Fairbanks, will
come up before Judge Cushman.
Hawkins will demur to the indict
ments and move that they be quash
ed., If these motions are overruled
the cases will probably go-.to trial
shortly after. _
FOULKES SERVE YEAR
IX VALDEZ JAIL
John W. Foulkes, who plead
guilty to the two counts of refusing
to forward money due the depart
ment by the Cordova postoffice, and
also conniving to cover up a short
age in the postal accunts, was sen
tenced by Judge Cushman to serve
one year in the Valdez jail. All other
indictments were dismissed against
him. The trials of the other two
connected with the Cordova short
age will be held here in October. The
bail of Joe Diggs has been reduced
to $2,000 and that of Wi U. Park to
$1,000.
SEATTLE, March 28.—W. T.
Lopp, superintendent of the native
schools of Alaska, is about to return
to Alaska with a considerably in
creased corps of teachers. For sev
eral months he has been in Washing
ton in conference with department
heads of education preparing his an
nual report, which will be ready for
publication within a month. Mr.
Lopp expressed confidence that the
present Congress will pass an appro
priation of $70,000 for medical work
and sanitation among the natives of
Alaska, a work which, he says, is
much needed. Mr. Lopp also said
that the department is considering
the location of a school on Attu
Island, in latitude 172 degrees west,
where there is at present a fairly
prosperous settl ment, and where
the experiment of raising cattle has
been tried with good success. The
establishment of stores at this set
tlement is also under consideration
by the department, and Mr. Lopp
says that the department entertains
hope of obtaining the co-operation of
the revenue cutter service in getting
in supplies shipped to this settle
ment, thus avoiding the sending of
a schooner there, as is now the case,
and greatly cheapening their cost.
MEXICO CITY, March 29.—The
National Railway of Mexico may
soon be tied up. Yesterday eight
hundred American conductors and
engineers were on the verge of a
strike. The operators are making
every effort to prevent this, and may
settle the difficulty today, otherwise
It is believed a strike will result.
