BUILDING WORK
FORGING AHEAD
E. W. Veasey Building Nearing
Completion. Improvements
To Parker House.

Building activities in Pocomoke
City continue to run at high ebb. In
the past week it seems that new inter
Cst has been taken and as result man.
extra mechanics have been put to
V crk.
At the corner of Clarke avenue ana
Market street things begin to present
a pre-fre appearance as The walls of
the E w. Voasey building are nearing
completion. Soon it will look like the
real H. w. Callahan & Sons store, on
ly improved,
The same conditions exist at the
corner of Second and Willow streets
where the walls of the big N. Davis
6. Sons building are towering Heaven
ward. The contractor was retarded
somewhat in the slow delivery of
bricks for the front, but some have
now arrived and with the extra fore
of brick masons the work is progress
ing rapidly. Surely before the close
of another week the entire building
will be shut in. Both OF the buildings
above mentioned are, indeed, credit
to the town.
The foundations for the stores of
Il. J. Lambden and Lloyd e. Blaine
lave been completed and the joists
have been set. Brick masons will be-
gin work at once and the buildings
will be pushed to completion as speed
lily as possible
The stucco workers have attracted
much attention on Market street this
week. The fronts of the buildings OF

David Wiltbank, ,Ir., frame structures
which were badly damaged in the re-
cent confagration, have been rebuil,
with the stucco combination finish

and our people anxiously await the
esults of the new work. 1t is said to
be fire. proof and adds greatly to the
appearance of the buildings in ques-
Iticn.
Bricklayers, carpenters, painters
etc, are busy around the Parker
House at the corner of Clarke avenue
and Willow street. The large double
decker" porch which has been needing
attention for sometime, is being re
built and the anticipated improve
ments will undoubtedly add much t.
the appearance of things around thi'
popular corner. Heavy wooden pill

alone will meet with public favor t.
say nothing of the new coat of pain
that will be applied to the entir

JOSHUA W. MILES OUT
OF SENATORIAL RACE
Direct Primaries An Indulgence Not
Permitted To Man OF Moder-
ate Means He Says.

The many friends of Mr. Joshua
w. Miles who were backing him for
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senatorship were sor-
ry to learn the early part of the week
that he had decided not to enter the
rimary contest. On Monday las;
Mr.. Miles gave out the following
statement which will be read with
much interest:
"For several months my name has
been among those mentioned in the
city press in connection with tn
Democratic nomination for the United
States Senator1
"The discussion of my possible
candidacy has led to very genero rs
offers of support from friends in
many sections of the State. These
expressions have been voluntarily
and, | think / may say. sufficiently
representative of popular sentiment tc
have induced me to give very seriou
consideration to the subject. Any
how, have given the matter just
taat kind of consideration.
"The press has not been unfan
to me in the representation that
have at times indulged the hope that
| might some time serve the people
of my State in the Senate of the
United States. To serve the people
of Maryland in that great arena is
well worthy of the ambition of any
citizen of the State, and it is graft,
flying to be considered fit for that
kind of service even by ones partisan
friends.
"I have, however, after a careful
review of political conditions IL
Maryland, reached the conclusion
that candidacy for high political office
in this State, under our so-called di
rect primary system is an indulgence
not permitted to the man of average
means, except in revolutionary times
or under conditions undesirable tt
one seeking creditable public service
and to enter such service unshackled
"This means that, deeply apprecia
tive as / am of the kind offers of sup
port that have come to me from
friends throughout the State, / hav'
reached the conclusion that / will no
enter the primaries as a candidate
for United States Senator, and thi
conclusion is"irrevocabe."

Arm Severely Cut
By Falling Glass

Miss Ruth Etheridge age 19,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Eth
eridge, of Willow street, had the mis-
fortune to severely cut her arm last
Tuesday when she accidently pushed
her hand through a window in an in
ner door at her home. The cash was
several inches long and very deep.
Doctors Hall and Parker were sum-
moned and after administering ether
to the young lady, took several stitch
es. At last accounts she was getting
along very nicely.

Theatrical Troupe
Do Good Business

Mellvlle's Comedians, presenting
high class vaudeville and drama, have
been located on the Jacob Stevenson
lot this week, and their large tent has
played to a full house every night
thus far. The entertainers are much
above the average for a travelling
show and their efforts to please have
not gone amiss. An entire change of
program has been made each night
and the applause was always spirited.

The Cordova daily times., 1922-01-20

in Michigan, the Senate adopted a resolutions directing an investigation into the primary and general election Hearings were begun and continued intermittently until near the time of the Supreme Court decision There followed lapse of several months during which the Newberry case was heard of in the Senate only occasionally until Senator Spencer, Republi- can, Missouri, as chairman of the sub-commt- tee which conducted the inquiry submitted to the Senate September 29, 1921, a report which although condemning the expenditures during the campaign and which it estimated at $195,0OO, found no legal or justifiable grounds for the retirement of MT. Newberry by the Sen ate
 Democratic members ofthe committee, head ed by Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, filed a min ority statement, asserting with equal phasis that the testimony given the committee proved conclusively that MT. Newberry was guilty of the many charges laid against him by MT. Ford. ....-.. - -
 For many days then and by many Senators, heated fight was waged against the Republi- can resolution declaring MT. Newberry the duly elected Senator from Michigan. Democratic opponents of the resolution finally brought in a resolution of their own denying the seat either to MT. Newberry or to MT. Ford. The fight went on in all of it's bitterness until after half a dozen attempts, MT. Spencer got unanimous consent agreement of senators to limit debate and the case was thus brought to a vote.

BILLIONS OF WEALTH GO BEGGING

Two outstanding facts come to use in the first report of the new Governor of Alaska, the Hon. Scott Bone He tells us in one paragraph that in our northern territory there is one hun dred and fifty billions of dollars of wealth. of the whole United States today.
 In another paragraph MT. Bone cites the discouraging fact that the total population (civilized} of Alaska DECREASED 10000 from 10000 during the decade just ended. In other words, this vast country of six hundred thousand square miles-or nearly four hundred million acres-is occupied by only 30000 peo- ple or one to every 13,000 acres.
 How can 30,0O0 people, no matter how ener- getic, develop hundred and fifty millions of wealth?
 Alaska needs people, good stout, smart Americans who know what wealth is when they see it, and how then to get it out. Why don't some of the folks who insist on hunting new lands to conquer go where told wealth is waiting for some to take possession of it? The answer is that we all have settled notions about Alaska being fierce ly cold Yet Stefansson, the Iowa explorer, who has spent fourteen years wandering around the Arctic just north of Alaska, tells us that the 4O-year old U. S. weather bureau at Cape Barrow, at the northern tip of Alas ka. has never registered a temperature in all those years that went lower than about 5OI degrees below zero At the same time mil lions of people live in American states and Canadian provinces, where the minimum ther readings have been 50 to 65, and even 75 degrees below zero-Ex.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-01-20
A TREASURY SURPLUS

Reports from Washington show the Treas ury ended the calendar year with surplus of receipts over expenditures of $200,000,00O In addition to meeting the ordinary expenses of the government, about $350000,000 has been paid on the principal of the war debt. If that payment had not been made, and merely the interest obligations met, the surplus would have been $55O O00O,O0O This is the first time
 in many years that the treasury books have shown credit balance, and it reflects the sound judgment with which our financial af- fairs are being handled by the Republican administration.
