those olden days, so much foolishness
was not in evidence as there is today.
But civilization has advanced and we
have discarded all those barbarous
methods, and we believe in freedom of
speech and of the press. Consequent
ly when any man feels inspired to rave
he goes right ahead and does it. Not
that we would advocate any retun to
those old days of narrow restrictions
(tho sometimes we do think the duck
ing stool wasn't so bad) but we de
believe in an appeal to the common
sense of people; that they use their
own native good sound judgment, and
refuse to listen to the educated fools
who advocate foolish and destructive
"isms."

FAIRBANKS NEWSPAPER
SAYS THAT CORDOVA
IS A BOOMING PLACE

According to one of the late ar
rivals from the coast, Cordova Is one
of the liveliest and most prosperous
towns in Alaska. In addition to being
the key to the interior and the term
mus of the Copper River & North
western railway, handling thousands
of tons of copper ore, the several can
neries there add materially to the &C.
tivities of the city.
All of the canneries are located
within the radius of few miles from
Cordova, nearly all of the help being
employed in the town instead of being
shipped up from the states by the
shipload. For many years it has been
the custom to ship up any number of
Cinnamon from the coast cities, re-
turning them in the fall All of the
money paid to them left the country
and was spent elsewhere. Under the
present system the employees are paid
off in the coast town and the money
remains where it will do the most
good-at home in Alaska. All of this
goes to make the coast town a lively
one, as hundreds of people are en-
ployed in the canneries. 1t was stated
that two new canneries would be
erected there before the spring was
over, which will mean more people

Arkansas Diamonds.

Arkansas has several diamond mines
that have turned out about 5000 dia-
monds valued at about $4,000. The
geological formation In which the gems
are found is called peridotite and is
akin to the famous South African kim
berlite. 1t occurs In chimneys like
those Of South America. The Arkan-
sas mines have been neglected during
the war. With diamonds increasing In
price and popularity, it is said. the
mine owners are making plans to
work their properties in a more ex-
tensive and systematic way.
