C0RD0VANS GET GOOD
 TOWNSHIP ADDITION

A petition from the people of Cor dova for an addition to the present Cordova townsite, which was forward ed to Washington several weeks ago by Surveyor General R. J. Sommers, has been favorably acted on by the commissioner of the general land of flee and survey of the tract it Is desired to include has been ordered. The order has not been received in Juneau, according to Assistant Super visor of Surveys J. P. Walker, but is expected at any time. The survey will probably not be made before next spring.
 The lands in question were origin ally included in the terminal ground of the Copper River and Northwest ern railroad. They will add consider able room to the present Cordova townsite.

WANTS WICK TO TAKE
 MUSH OUTSIDE

c. E. Hirdning, who claims Cordova as his home, and was among the many unsuccessful stampeders into the Chisina country, writes the Daily Times from the Sitka hot springs on the political situation in Alaska, as follows:
 Spare me small space in the Times, as I am an old-timer, having been in Alaska and the Yukon terri tory for the past twenty-three years and have not been outside during that time. 1 desire to put myself on record as regards MT. Wickersham's politi- cal aspirations. At one time I had good opinion of him, but it seems that he is now endeavoring to place all the cld-timers on the island of Sitka, and it is time for all the sourdoughs of Alaska to awaken to the fact that all of our hard earnings are invested in

ANOTHER MEDAL OF
 HONOR FOR CORDOVAN
 WHO SACRIFICED LIFE

o. E. Jones, of Camp S9, is in re- ceipt of a beautiful Victory medal, which now makes five that he has re- ceived from the government, for the gallant service rendered in the recent World war by his son, John w. Jones, who gave up his life in the service of his country. Lieutenant Colonel H.. Lay of the U. S. Marine Corps, sent MT. Jones the following letter with the last medal received:
 'I am directed by the major gen eral commandant to forward to you herewith Victory medal with ribbon, together with the battle clasps, stars, etc, as indicated below, to which you are entitled as next of kin of the late Private John w. Jones, 18th company, 5th regiment, U. s. Marines.
 One Aisne-Marne battle clasp; one St. Mihiel battle clasp; one Meuse-Ar- gonne battle clasp; one defensive sec tor clasp; four bronze stars; two sill yer stars.
 Tt is hoped that this insignia, which is awarded you as the father and next of kin of the late Private Jones, reaches you in good order and ] known that you will ever cherish it's possession in precious memory of your dear son, who made the supreme sacrifice in the cause of liberty"

Alaska and that our homes are here, We are as the reindeer and caribou with the wolf pack at our heels.
 Fortunately our Kaiser Jimmy has about as much influence with our president-elect as the kaiser himself had with the late Theodore Roosevelt. In fact think my influence is as i'm portant as Wickersham's with the new administration. My ancestors are all from Ohio and Pennsylvania, who in the early fifties hewed their way in Michigan, which at that time was sopewhat similar to Alaska at the present time.
 "All of his cry against the "Gug- gies" falls on deaf ears. They have done much for the development of Alaska and have about the same amount of holdings as the Lake Su- perior Iron Mines Company, the Gala nut & Heckla Copper Company and other big corporations in the states.

SAYS CONDITIONS IN
 STATES WORSE THAN
 THEY ARE IN ALASKA

Our former townsman, Edgar Stien- man. who conducted truck farm at Eyak, writes to a Cordovan from his old home at Toledo, Ohio, ill which he says that many of the old sourdoughs would be better off in the northland than the states. He says:
 Here it looks like it's going to be the hardest winter since 1893. TWen- ty thousand men laid off in this city and over twice as many idle in De- troit In all the country there are & million men on a winter vacation. Many of them would be better off in cabin in Alaska. There, hungry man can at least go out and shoot a porcu- pine but here they hold some one up or break into house, so more police men are being hired.
 Flour it down to $5.66 per 100 lbs, and potatoes $2.00; ducks, 36 cents per pound.
 s"Here in Toledo, I just bought a can of Cordova Brand pink salmon packed by the Canoe Pass Packing Co.,, for l7 cents at a grocery which sells bar gains.
 "So the name of Cordova is becom- ing known and reminds me of the town. Would like to send all the old-timers and others up there a bas- ketful of Xmas greetings and good wishes for the coming year."

Office Monday noon with a novel

effort. The lads had a good-sized
box and in it a good sized snake. 1t
was in it's usual winter slumber and
made no disturbance. even when
stretched out on the floor for meas
urement-5 feet and inches. Asked
where they found their pet, the boys
said: cover on Shaw's dump, on
Willow street.
The boys then carried Sir Snake
to the State House, where they
turned it over to Curator James of
the State museum. Asked later in the
day If he had identified the reptile,
Mr.. James said:
"No, / have not It is different
from anything + have ever seen in
this State. 1t resembles the rattle
snake somewhat in appearance, but
is not one 1t also resembles the
common house snake QampropeItis
doliatus), but is not one. Then
again. it most strongly resembles the
pine or bull snake, (pituophis melan-
oleucus,) but I'm not even sure of
that. One thing I am sure Of is that
It is a snake"

nounced by Chairman Pafk

Philip r. Park proprietor of JEFF

ut his farms in Jefferson and SOM

by Edwin A. Shepherd, of Dexter,
who is interested in the purchase OF

parties.
/ Mr.. Park, chairman of the Live
Stock Division of the State Chamber
of Commerce and one of the leading
/ spirits in the Baby Beef Club move
ment in Maine, told the Journal that
plans had been made next year to
J. take on five additional districts in
the baby beef raising project and
provide a total Of $50 calves for boys
and girls interested.
Fifty head of poled Angus cattle
are now en- route from Virginia to
! Portland to be distributed to the boys
, and girls who signed up this year
for these calves in Cumberland and
Sagadahoc counties. Since the
starting Of the first club in Richmond
and several Cumberland county
towns, the State Chamber of Com
merce has received requests from
other parts of the State in connec-
ton with the formation of these
clubs, many boys and girls being de-
sirous of trying their hand at the
game. with their parents anxious to
have them do so. 1t was decided that
the clubs already formed this year
would be sufficient for initial demon
stration purposes as to- the livestock
raising by Maine young folks and
that next year the project could be
enlarged.
Mr.. Park and Prof Fl. J.. Garrigus

At s o'clock tonight the James
Fitzgerald Post, No. 2, American
Legion will hold their annual meet
ing at Legion hall. The most impor-
tant business of the meeting will be
the election of officers for the ensu-
ing year. Though there have been
no announcements Of candidates
seeking the nomination of Post Com
mander, it is understood that several
have been mentioned as logical can
didates for this, the most important
position within the gift of the Post.
There is no dearth of able leaders
amongst the membership and their
supporters are active in their behalf.
Lively contests will probably develop
in the nominations and those best in
formed do not venture to forecast the
outcome. The nominations are made

The Post has had an exceptionally
strong and able group of executive
officers in the year just closing and
under their guidance the James Fitz-
gerald Post has emerged from a per-
iod of readjuStment which has been
everywhere evident; stronger in their
/ civic and community relations, more
stabilized in their internal condi-
tons, and prosperous and flourish
ing in membership.
! Commander Frank f. Southland has
been a popular leader meriting and
gaining the support and cooperation
of the, membcrs and ably directing the
affairs with which the Legion has
been identified. The record OF the
James Fitzgerald Posts activities,
number of military funerals, observ-
ance of Patriotic occasions. and So
cial and entertainment ventures, is
exceeded or equalled by few posts
of its size in the country It is indeed
| a record of which the Post and en-
tire community should be proud.
As vice commander, Dr.. Paul A..
Cyr has ably supported the COM
mander: Post Adjutant John s. Ever
cit has been untiring in his efforts
on behalf of all eX- service men, as
well as handling the oXactine duties
of his office. Ranking with these
officers in efficiency and popularity
has been the Post Finance Officer,
Arthur f. TifTin.
| Recently a club-room committee
has handled the decoration and fur
nishinG Of the Legion quarters. ac-
lively assisted by the American Ie-
gion Auxiliary. The club rooms are
very attractive and comfortable. and
with the continuance of the work by
the incoming administration bids fair
ia become second to none in the
State.
The Post elections have always
been conducted with high enthusiasm
and wide interest. IT is expected that
at the meeting tonight there will be
rra ctically a 100 per cent. represent
tation Of the membership. The Off
GERS to be elected are as follows:
Post Commander. Post Vice Com
mander. Post Adjutant, Post FL
nance Officer, Post Chaplain.
To the members of the James Eitz-
gerald Post: Your Post Officers are
responsible for the policies and ac-
snonsible for your officers. Fulfill
your duty and attend the meeting to-
night.

Christmas Bank Books
Gifts for Children

With the children making up. long
lists for santa Claus, many mothers
have hard time deciding just now
whether Johnny should have hobby
horse, or his sister the big doll she in
sists upon. In the end both of them
probably will get what they want, but
it also might be we'll to start the
youngsters saving for other things
they are going to want in the future.
The savings bankers are trying to
help with this problem by encouraging
mothers to give the children savings
accounts. A bank book with couple
Of dollars deposited should give any
boy or girl the wish to add another
dollar, and then another, until the
whole book is Allied with dollars. This
is the practical kind Of gift which
helps to build character and teaches
the children that they must think a
little bit for themselves. @
The, habits formed in childhood last
through life. and thrift cannot be
taught too early. Many famous men
have attributed their success IN life 10
tho lessons learned from their moth
ers, OF all these lessons none can be
more important than the wise nse of
money. This does not mean denying
children the things for which young
hear,s yearn, but it does mean telling
them something about the way money
grows, and how independence comes
through thrift.
The savings account opened this
Christmas for the budding son or
daughter might very well be the first
step toward their independence. The
savings banks are issuing passbooks In
any name. which can be put in Christ
mas stockings with the feeling that
this present at least will not soon
waar nut or he thrown away.
