CORDOvA STANDS
 UP FOR HERSELF
Citizens Point to Activity in Railroad Building as
 Evidence of Life.

Citizens of Cordova desire to make it known that their town is on the map as big as ever and getting big ger. They take issue with the tele- graphic story of the proposed trans fer of the railroad terminus to Valdez in the following letter:
 Editor Valdez Prospector:
 An erroneous impression concern ing Cordova seems to have become general of recent date in Valdez and in the interests of fairness we ask you to allow sufficient space in the PrOSpcctOr for cOrrcction
 In recent issue of your paper ap- pears an article from your Seattle correspondent wherein M. J. Heney, contractor for the Guggcnheim rail road now building from Cordova is reported to have been dismissed; that he and the chief engineer Mir. E. C. Hawkins have disagreed concerning the feasibility of the proposed route of the road, and that another point on Prince William sound has been
 
 article is published with an introduce ton to the effect that it is an un- cOntradictcd rumor in Seattle. Per haps the rumor is so ridiculous on its face that in Seattle it is not worth contradiction. Removed, however, as we are from close touch with large financial affairs, people who are not posted necessarily give crcdence to published articles. Since you pub. lished this rumor, may we not expect you likewise to give space to these facts.
 first-IOcal representatives of the railroad company here have received cablegrams from headquarters since the publication of the article in uues- tion instructing them to push the work with all haste possible, and that from 2O00 to 5000 men will he employed on the line this summer between Cor dOVa and the coal fields in active railroad construction and that the advance guard of this industrial army will arrive on the Northwestern. NIhls boat by the way is at this writ ing in Valdez on her way hcrc.) SccOnd-lt is q fact that the Str. Edith with 35OO tons of railroad ma terial is still discharging at the dock here and will continue SO to discharge until her entire cargo is ashore. She returns soon to Seattle and will bring another $500 ton for Cordova.
 Third-lf there are any idle men in Valdez willing to work you will con fer favor upon the railroad people here if you will make public the fact that there is work in Cordova for everybody.
