Ketchikan, Alaska, February, 18,1919
CAN YOU BEAT IT?
Telegraphic news told us yesterday that con
• gress had been generous enough to appropriate
one hundred thousand dollars for federal build
in? at Cordova. That is we1'. f’ordova is a
very nroperous town and dweiwos encourage
ment and naturally attention. But while we
envy not the Cordova citizens’ good fortune,
we fpo] like • remarking that in passim? the
“buck” congress should have noticed Ketchikan
and dip in a little deepen: for siwolv if there is
berg in Alaska that can show a greater necessi
tv for a federal buildng than Ketchikan, we
don’t know which it is. Even the desolate
Fairbanks and Juneau towns have been getting
gener.-ujs appropriations from congress.
Taking all in all. Ketchikan exports and im
ports more than anv other town in the Territo
rv. a”d doubles some other pretentious bergs,
which shows the importance of our town: vet
year after vear all we get'is a e-lassv eve. Can
you beat it? But that isn’t the point, which is
that we are left amain which proves that our
government’s generosity is merely in snots and
we happen not to he at one of the favored snots
But it’s alright and even though Uncle Sam
does not recognize us, we shall keen on help
ing b’m bv buying more Liberty or Victory
bonds at the coming drive. Some day. mavbe.
Uncle Sam will wake un and help ska 11 c‘>me in
great big chunks. Lot us bop > while we pray
that lie does wake up.
TELLING HIM SOMETHING
v _
Our penial Senator Heckman is back from
his yearly pilprim; and as the chances are that
he was so busy amusing himself, he failed to
keep himself informed of all domes and lack
of domes about his home town: bearin that
in mind :we desire to tell him something. It
is this Senator: You will no doubt remember
the election at which, we, the majority,v|!iBctec|:
a road commissioner for this division. We vot
ed for him because he promised to dotherigjit,
thing for us all. Bid ho koap his piwrifeo^
Just prior to the last election, we jarred his
-memory a bit about the Hoadlv-Charcoal Point
vnnd He immediately started like h.... bent
for election. and ordered the work to commence ;
at o’ii|e. Shortly after that terrible if not ex
travaiwLt move, he led Us to believe that he
had droned into a hole somewhere and pulled
the hole*after him. for no one seems to have
been able to locate him. Can you locate him,
Senator? If you do. please whisper gently in
his ears that his goose is cooked for future
favors from this precinct.
OUR LUCK ?
It beats all how lucky we are; and to think
that we never knew it. We have reference to
the large number' of real poets making their
home in our midst. And it is safe to sav that
the number will increase daily. Misfortunes
never come singly. Miss Influenza will be no
exception. It is more than surprising to see so
manv ooets congregated at one little spot like
Ketchikan. Since Charlie E. started his little
ioke. no day passed without discovering from
one to three poets. However, this abundance
of noets hns served a purpose; in that it put us
rie-ht on one point: for we had always looked
unon noets—from a distance as more than half
d’vine creatuves.. above the average mortal, you
understand. But that was all a mistake. At
least if our local poets are of the same make
as those we have read about. We know now
that thev are just plain citizens like the rest of
us, so far as appearance goes.
Therefore we fear them not;
Although some say they’re nuts.
It is surprising how so many conscientious
obiectors are getting solicitous for aid from
military and civil courts these davs to have
their brand of conscience remodeled.
Frank H. Foster, a Cordova attorney recent
lytook advantage of the government decision
to remove restrictions reserving--the 80-rod
stvin alone- the waterfront, and staked out a
number of lots owned by Cordova citizens,
many of which are occupied by houses and
cottages. The value of the ground staked is
about 810 000. Cordovans must be mighty mild
people to stand for having a deal like that put
over on them. Many camps would buy a nice
box for the jumper and place him urgently
»therein with a nice pile of dirt over him.—Val
dez Miner.
