LOOK BACKWARD FORM 1942

Looking backward from the year 1942- after twenty years of titanic development in Alaska-the average mind can visualize the splendid city that this will be, with pop ulation of possibly 100000.
 Given half the natural resources of this place in any section outside, the result would be city of large magnitude. The chief draw ack-transportation- now being provided, and within twenty years it will have been de- veloped to such an extent that the trip from the outside Northwest ports will require for the aerial lines) only day or night.
 Aero mails will come and go daily, while radio and cable rates will be so cheap as to be used constantly by everybody. The small distance of thousand miles will be ,annihil- ated
 Cordova will be a wonder city, by that time. It will have a famous playground park on Lake Eyak, great summer resort on Hinchin- brook Isand winter skating and aquatic sports and varied industries with a huge payroll.
 Twenty years from now many will be la menting their failure to recognize the original opportunities to be found here now. This is going to be the great industrial city of the Northland, or one of them-the Pittsburgh of Alaska. .-

GOOD NEWS ANNOUNCED

Governor Bone tells the world today that regular shipments of Alaska coal from the Matanuska fields will begin to Seattle within three months.
 Coal cargoes from Alaska will do more to convince outside capital of Northland oppor- tunities than the vast treasure in copper sent forth the Cordova district, because coal is used by everybody in one way or another and the development of new fields, especially during coal strike period, quickly captures national attention.
 The Port Commission at Astoria is planning for large shipments from Alaska this summer, affording competition in the Inland Empire with the Utah and Australian coals. Arrange ments for bunkering ocean vessels at Astoria already have been made This will mean, in cidentaly, port competition for Seattle. Spo- kan is also planning to get it's share of Alaska coal, with view to exchanging cargoes of merchandise.
 The development of the oil fields in the Cor dova district will be, after awhile, the key stone of the Alaska industrial arch.
 While speedy development of our coal fields is desired, all thoughtful Alaskans are hoping g the Government will see to it that the coal IS screened and cleaned carefully, otherwise 1t may get bad reputation among the consum- CTS outside right at the start. It will be in competition with the Utah, Australian and other coals and 1t must be in first class condi- tion.

The expansion of the Northland fisheries Is assured and apparently it will be progress sive and permanent.
 There is great demand for mild-cured sal mon, and for ''luta" and other fish, used in great quantities in Scandinavia, not utilized at all in our fisheries at present. This creates an original opportunity for Cordova fisher men, who wish to specialize in certain fish and processes.
 The Department of Commerce is making a special study of the Alaskan fisheries. Sec retary Hoover's aim is said to be the develop ment of new industries on the Alaskan coast, to promote the establishment of homes, with regular and profitable employment.

RAVEN GAN "THINK"-ALso THE BEAR

The ravens of Cordova-really glorlfled crows-certainly have keen sense of hu- nor. A day or two ago one was observed
 perched upon stump watching a collie de-
 vouring piece of meat. It was plain that the raven was envious of the meat, and that the collie was aware of the fact, for he growled ominously and kept an eye on the sable observ- CT. Presently the raven darted away to the| mountainside and returned in a minute or two accompanied by its mate. Instead of perch ing itself upon the stump, this time, the first raven alighted in front of the collie and danced around as if he was going to grab the meat.
 Tn the meantime, the other raven, approach. inc from the rear pecked at the dog, causing him to whirl around. When he turned back his meat was gone.
