ies that were holding the Hun at bay on the fields of Northern France. The fishing industry of Cordova re- sponded in a magnificent manner to this appeal, as we'll as the cannerles all over Alaska, and the results speak more eloquently than words Of the patriotism and energy of all con- nected with the catching and market ing of Alaska fish. During this period the local fishing industry unuderwent considerable expansion, or what might be more accurately designated q rational and intelligent growth.
 But a few short years ago the wealth of fish in the waters adjacent to Cordova had just commenced to attract the attention of outside cap- ital, and the business was III US ln- fancy. True salmon had been canned in this neighborhood for over twenty years, but there was but one salmon cannery here, and no herring salteries in the vicinity.
 Yet today Cordova is by long odds the most important fish center ln Southwestern Alaska, and has behind it a record of unprecedented develop ment along this line. And it is true that the wealth of fish in our waters has been but tapped. Attention has been mainly directed to but three thines-sa1mOn. herring and clans.

These companies also operate many steel freighters, and total of twenty steel steamships are now engaged in the Alaska trade.

 Access to the Interior is provided by the Copper River & Northwestern Railway, which penetrates the Cop per River Valley to a distance of two hundred miles from Cordova. The Copper River & Northwestern Railway starts from Cordoya. It maintains an excellent train service, modern and frst-class in every re- spect, with rolling stock and power of the best. The roadbed is as good as that of any trunk line in the States - rock-ballasted and carrying 70-pound steel rails. The coaches are up-to-date, and the trains carry dining car. The engines and rotaries were specially built for this road by the American Locomotive Works.
