THE GLORIOUS FOURTH
(As X Used To Be,)

(As It Used To Be.)
It's coming, it's coming, hear
everyone cry, the long waited,
breath-bated Fourth of July, the
glorious Fourth, the 'worrious"
Fourth that blows off your fingers
and shoots out your eye. The old
fireworks dealer is quite satisfied, his
shelves are filled up, his till open
wide. There's bombs and contrap-
tons on those same shelves so all the
dear children may blow up them
selves. And the old fireworks man
(oh, what does he care) just sings to
himself to a cute little air; "The
glorious Fourth, uproarous Fourth
that knocks off your noses and burns
OFF your hair" The druggist now
writes the big drug house. Says he,
"a big double order of salves please
send me, big bunch of bandages,
plaster galore, of stuff to dress
wounds with a lot and some more;
some clutches please rush same), of
sweet oil key, the great day is COM
ing, to advise you beg, the glorious
Fourth, the furious Fourth that tears
your right arm off or blows off leg.
The doctor his instruments polishes
bright, for cutting and looping
they're sharpened just right, the hos
pitfalls get all their spare beds out, too,
and the nurses prepare for the work
they must do; and fathers and moth
ers are trembling with fear, they see
the dread day of the Reaper draw
near, the glorious Fourth, notorious
Fourth, that blinds you forever or
blows off an ear. It's coming, it's
coming, the mothers all sigh, the
murderous, child-khling Fourth Of
July, the glorious Fourth, hurrah-
rious Fourth, atrocious, fericious, the
Fourth of July.

The new internal revenue law, known as the war tax, went into effect today on many articles of use in Cordova. The necessary stamps have been received and must be at tached to legal documents, bonds, stock certificates, etc, and failure to attach a stamp will subject the of fender to fine of S100.

 W. H. Carson, who left Cordova for Shushanna last February, re- turned this afternoon on the train from the interior. He accompanied the mail carrier, Dog Musher' Peterson, over the new winter trail across the Rohn glacier which, MT. Carson declares, is a much easier route than the old one over Nizina glacier, as the former is at least 1000 feet lower, has no heavy grades and few crevasses. These two men covered the distance of 40 miles between timber lines in two days of actual travelling time, al- though they were delayed day at the camp of A. Eides, the road com missioner. because of the illness Of MT. Carson. This camp is about midway between the timber lines and and has been fitted up by MT Eides for accommodation of travel CTS. Mir.

Eides, who has been building and Eides, who has been building and stalking a new trail to Shushana over the Rohn glacier. He declares this trail is at least 1000 feet lower than the old trail and easier of travel because of light grades; in fact, the grade is so light as to be hardly percepitble until near the summit.

An OptlmlStlc picture OI AldShd future is painted by Governor J. F. A. Strong in his annual report, sub- mitted last week to Secretary of the Interior Lane, a copy of which has just been received and brief refer ence to which was made in the Daily Alaskan's dispatches last week. The governor urged that the government exercise closer supervision for the conservation of the. territory's wealth of fisheries, pointed out the need for the construction of system of wagon roads and trails to supple ment government railroads and de- clared means must be taken 70 stamp out disease among the native population.
 With the promise that the future holds," said Gov. Strong, "and the exact knowledge of the extent and variety of the great mineral and other resources of Alaska, coupled with the new broad policy of devlop- ment which the government has in- augurated, Alaska, it is confidently believed, will hereafter occupy an important place in the mining, in dustrial and economic history of the United States"
 It is estimated that there are now 39,00O white people in the terri tory, an increase of 5000 over last years estimate. The total value of the 1913 mineral output was S19,- 470,336, and the total value of the products of the Alaskan fisheries WAS s15,739,06S. Both showed some decline from the preceding year. The territory's commerce in the last fls- cal year showed exports of more than ,000,0O0-a decrease be- cause of lesser gold production, while the United States sold mer- chandise worth s21,929,160 to the territory.
 Alaska's mineral resources, Gov. Strong said, waited development U restore some of the foreign supplies cut off by the European war. Lack of an adequate coal supply, he said, had retarded industrial development. Congress recently passed leasing <bill to open the coal fields in the far northern territory.
 Although copper production is now important and promises to in crease largely within the coming years. Given supply of coke which cannot now be had at prices which make it available for indus trial use, the copper industry would be greatly stimulated by the erec- tion of smelters for the treatment of the ores.
 The governor said that the agri- cultural possibilities of the terri tory are beginning to be appreciated. There are probably 50,000,000 acres of land suitable for agricultural pur- poses, he said, and millions of acres adapted for cattle raising and dairy ing. Outlining other sources of natural riches in minerals and for es1, the governor said the territory must present an inviting field for the home seeker, for capital and for

Laundry Express Rates.


On January %, 1914, this commits
sion entered a general order making
effective the interstate commerce
commission schedule Of express rates
in this state for interstate traffic with
certain notifications which it was
hoped would adapt the national scheme
to the conditions in this state. The
effect, however, of this scheme, was
to very materially increase the rates
per hundred pounds upon Numbered
articles, which had been highly favor
cd in past and handled voluntarily by
the express companies at very low
rates.
Objection was at once made by the
launderers of the state to the new
rates, but the commission was anx-
ious to give the scheme a fair trial and
did o Immediately take action in the
matter. In the meanwhile the laund-
derers, by preconcerted action, chang
ed the method whereby they had pre-
viously shipped Numbered packages
out and soiled articles in at their own
expense, and added the expense of the
transportation to the amount which
the consumer was required to pay.
For EXAMPLE, If a basket containing
forty bundles cost $500 to ship be-
tween two stations. the owner of each
bundle was required to pay his per-
centage of the total cost based upon
the ratio between the price of his
laundry and the total price Of the
basket. This fell as a special hard
ship on the owner Of the articles be-
cause it had not beenA customary to
require him to pay any of the trans
portation charges, and a vigorous I,ro-
test came up from all over the state.
The launderers took the position that
there is no reason why the consumer
= -N
charge on Numbered articles the same
true that the custom has been for the
consumer to pay the freight on all
commodities which are transported to
him by common carrier. The laun-
derers while seeking to have the laun-
dered articles returned to second class,
and thus have the transportation
charges materially reduced, concede
that the new rule established by them
will be continued and that the con-
sumner will continue to Lay the freight
ever though he may be benefited by
the reduction asked for.
The new classification established
by the interstate commerce commits
sion provides that all articles of food
and drink shall be shipped second
class, and all other commodities first
class, and that second class articles
shall be shipped at 25 per cent less
than first class articles. The reason
upon which this is based is that food
products are necessary articles for
human consumption and hat they
should be favored. While this may
appear to be a good reason yet it is
not wholly scientific. because beer and
other articles of drink excepting
whisky are carried at second class
rates, while laundry articles and other
necessities which are neither food nor
drink are carried at first class, and
we have the anomalous situation Of
beer being shipped from point to point
at a 25 per CEN lower rate than laun-
dry articles. The commission does not
feel that it is bound by the reasoning
of this classification above referred to-,
and takes the position that laundry
