trict we would see what we would see A howl would go up quickly enough from the Cordova bunch. But the OK that is gored is many miles west of the Cordova fishing grounds, and is of no consequence.' Our con- temporary should be advised that the Cordova Chamber of Commerce has already signified its intention of asking that Prince William Sound be placed in a reserve, and from sim liar bodies in Southeastern Alaska have come loud demands that the same order be put into effect there.
 It is time we enlarged our vision in this Territory. It is time that we put aside section al jealousies and petty political interests and looked at the welfare of the Territory as a whole. If the fisheries of Alaska are to be preserved restrictions are imperative Whether they are imposed by Executive action or Con- gressional legislation in operation they will be the same. We have here an industry rep resenting an investment of $4O,000,OO0, the sole source of the worlds salmon supply. The taxes which that industry pays to the Terri tory and to the nation are no inconsiderable amount It is nonsence to talk about driving out the big concerns and leaving the industry to the small operators Alone the small ones could not carry it.
 The Times has no brief for the packers as against the small ones. The same fishing rights should apply to all. But in the re- imposed by the reservation order the industry as whole will be preserved. Tn that preservation the small canner will profit to degree which the 'free and oDen' fishino advocated by Mr. Sutherland would soon bring to minus zero.

TIME TO ECONOMIZE

There IS movement on foot at Seward to demand the consolidation of the offices of the clerk, treasurer and assessor also those of chief of police and fire chief and abolishine offices of the city attorney and health of tlcer, Tn the interests of economy The claim is made that over $6,0O0 per year is being paid out in salaries and this sum could be cut Tn two and the same results secured. The Gateway says ''while the town has plenty of money at all time, and is financially solvent, the money could be spent for other purposes that would be of more general benefit''
 This is move in the right direction and one that could be adopted by other towns in Alas ka For some time past there has been senti- ment in Cordova in favor of reducing the city payroll in order that the money thus saved might be expended in needed public improve ments. Now is the time for action If the pres ent members of the city council have the in terest of the tax payers at heart they can com bne some of the present sinecures and abolish others, without jeopardizing in any way the public service. This should be done at once in order to be effective at the coming municipal election. Why not try the retrenchment system, at least so far as salaries are concerned for year at least and see how it works? We believe that the time has arrived when Cordova must make some permanent improvement on it's streets and otherwise add to the beauty and stability of the town This can be done by lop- ping off a number of wasteful salaries
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-24

The Cordova Chamber of Commerce should get out an interesting and attractive booklet giving a brief history of the town and dircc- ting to its points of interest. The products display at the head of First Street should De completed and installed at once. Local mcr- chants should "color'' up their stocks with real Alaskan products and souvenirs. An automobile service for drives out the Eyak road and motor boat service for trips Oh the lake and to the hatchery, should be "hawked' '' at every steamer arrival. Special trips to the glaciers, with a guide to explain them, should be made practicable during the time the steamers are in port by proper schedules by the Railway. Curios typical of up-the-line Indians, and others made of copper and copper glance, good photographs of the peaks and lakes, of the fishing and canneries-all these should be prominetly on sale. Every industry in the district should get out it's own special advertising booklet. The town should be fur bished up and the streets kept in good con- dition.
 Confronted with tourist season this year greater than any that has ever before been experienced, Cordova needs to get busy in her own interest With the aid of the two steam ship lines and the c. R. &y N. w. Ry the town should put forth strenuous efforts to combat the competition by which the Canadian line, with it's excellent service and extensive ad- vertising has appropriated so much of Alaska tourist travel, even using Alaska ports for the purpose.

Medicine for a sick busi. ness is Advertising. 1t works wonders while you sleep.
MUST ALL PULL TOGETHER

That the Daily Times every day in every way IS growing better and better, is generally admitted and in order that we may continue to improve Cordova's newspaper we have the right to ask and receive the cooperation and support of the residents of the Copper River valley, and especially the advertising of every merchant doing business in this city. This patronage is absolutely essential to the up
 building and maintenance of strictly first
 class newspaper The Times is willing to do its part in setting forth the advantages of Cordova, both to tourists and investors. and in return solicits the patronage and good will of all those who are interested in making this bigger and more prosperous community.

THINGS WE THINK

Much pose is just clothes.
 Travel broaden a and flattens his pocketbook. No cure ever has been discovered for one who is determined to write a scenario. To get lifes honey, you've got to get the money. A locomotive has respect for anything It would just make knding wood of ten-thousand dollar limousine of hundreddollar flivver.
  Who remembers the boy who collected postage stamps and had ambition be known a "philatest?" Sure Fame is fleeng" but what isn't, except rhsuma tism?
 When a man is referred to "queer character pretty certain he knows good deal than the one who made the remark.
 Nobody should be judged by single set of circum stances Thus every man who takes part in smoking car conversation is temporary liar, but he may be a deacon in his old home town.

WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILL SEE

When President Harding visits Alaska dur ing the coming summer it will not be necessary for him to wear the face with which he meets the hoard of hungry position-seekers when at home He will not need that face here as he will not be harrassed by anyone seeking the position of minister to Bagdad, Arabia special envoy to Turkey or the chairmanship of the Federal Reserve Board. Our post of fees are all satisfactorily manned-or wo- maned-and he will not be bothered in that line.
 On the contrary when the President visits us he will find us a contented and we'll hammered people, conscious, of course, of our own virtues but not given to parading them at least not offensively so. He will find domestic, a methodical people who be- lieve in the main, in the Ten Commandments and Saturday night bathing, and, when lie dimes with us, he will realize that not even in Baltimore is to be found better quality of Lady Baltimore cake than our housewives can perpetrate.
 Should the President while here feel the need of that relaxation which is experienced only where few congenial spirits are sittino in, he will not notice any of us dealing from the bottom of the deck, neither will he notice that are given to overestimating the value of small pairs. In gaming as in business, he will notice that we play them close up and take our losses with the same imperturbable spirit of sang froid-or fried frog-in which we take our winnings.
 When with us the trained and searching newspaper political eye of the President may not be dazzled by as many sparkler em- blazoned shirt fronts as confront him in Wash ington, but he will see just as few egg stains on shirt fronts here as in Washington and far less than around Marion, Ohio, where it is sometimes difficult to determine whether a shirt front is dry goods, groceries farm products.
 If the President ever read what Cy War man said about Alaska: "There is no law of God or man runs north of 53''-he will realize after giving us the once over that Cy is monumental liar and that there is no place from the ice-fringed lakes of thc North to the malaria infested shores of the Gulf, from the shell-strewn shores of the Atlantic to the blue waters of the Pacific, where the laws of both God and man are kept more sacred and inviolate than north of '53.
 We of Alaska will welcome our President and Mrs. Harding with open arms, treat them royalty while they are here and send them away with the impression that, while we may not be the salt of the earth, we are, as loyal and patriotic Americans, fairly well seasoned Valdez Miner

THAT FISHERIES PRESERVATION

The Times estimable colleagues to the Westward, the Seward Gateway and the An chorage Times, take issue with this paper $ criticism of Delegate Sutherland's recent at tack on the Bureau of Fisheries and the ere ation of the fish reservation to the Westward. In language more epithetical than nice these two publications tar the Cordova Times with la brush dripping with copper-hued pigment and strip us of all credit for personal inteIi- gence in imputing our sentiments to the die tation of interests having the same copper hued complexion. This is old stuff It has served so long and we'll the purposes of dem- agoguery and jealousy that it has become mouldy and inoccuous We suggest that other towns whose permanence has not become so "fixed" as the Anchorage Times grudgne]v admits of ours, find some new stick with which to swipe us when we fail to agree with them: They might for instance, grant us the courtesy due one entitled to difference of opinion by holding themselves down to an intelligent discussion of the subject, rather than villification of the opponent.
 The Times objection to MT. Sutherland $ attack on the Bureau of Fisheries as "rotten from top to bottom'' was based on the imnro- nretv of the Delegates subiecting the whole Territory to the criticism that will inevitably fall on his immoderate statement. However sincere he may be in championing what he believes to be the interests of the ''small operator,' MT. Sutherland should remember that he represents the whole people of the Territory, many of whom see in this belated move of the Government the first constructive act in sixteen years toward protecting the source of supply of the country $ great indus try. There are those who look beyond pos sibe temporary hardship on the fishing in terests, both large and small, to the permanent effects that are hoped to be realized bv the recent restrictions. As a matter of fact, the severest of these regulations will be applied, mot to small concerns now in existence or still to come, but to the large ones already in the field. In restrictions packs, on gear, on extent of operations, in the establishment of closed seasons and in various other ways it is the ''big packers" who will feel the brunt be protected as he has not been before In falling in line with the new regulations the |big packers deserve neither credit nor opprob- rum. It is simply good business. Almost too late, as the result of ruthless fishing, they find themselves with millions of dollars in vested, confronted with the destruction of their supply. The interests of the industry happen to correspond with the Government $ measures for conserving it. These measures are as much to the benefit of the small con- cerns as the large ones
 The Times critics aver that if "these reservations touched the Copper River dis
