The first Fourth of July celebra-
ton held in Chitina to use the eX-
preston of the Cordova Alaskan, was
a 'thowling success, and all the
Chitina citizens and different COM
mittees who worked SO hard to see
that our visitors were entertained,
feel satisfied that nothing was left
undone to make a perfect celebration
here on independence day. The only
disappointing feature was the absence
of the men from the front. A train
was run. as promised by the Katalla
company but only few men came
down. and when the reasons are
thoroughly considered, we cannot
complain, for there remains only a
few weeks, and in some cases only a
few days for the men up the line to
finish their work on certain por-
lions of the road for the season, and
had they come down at this time, it
work, and no particular good re
sulting, outside of the fact that more
money would of course have been
left in town.
1t can safely be said, however,
that the biggest and most pleasant
excursion ever ran over the Copper
River & Northwestern railway came
from Cordova on the morning of
July 4th, leaving the coast terminal
at 7:30 a. m, and arriving here st
lis p. m. and to our genial host,
Oscar Freedman, of the hotels Chiti
ma and MacCormac. it is said by those
from Cordova, is the credit due for
bringing the big crowd. A few days
before the Fourth it was thought
that not 25 people would come on
the trip. but when the smiling host
got busy it was only short time
