Tin. |,:-s of the interior pas
senger ami mail business is un
doubtedly a severe blow to Cor
dova. at the present time; so it
was to Valdez at the lime the
tide water terminal of I he Orr
stage line was removed from Ibis
place in favor of Chilina. Since
that time ii has been.learned that
to operate a railroad built large
ly along the side of a box can
yon, is indeed a difficult task in
Alaska. Notwithstanding the op
eration of I.'IO miles of road out
-of Cordova, the average time made
by the stage line to and from
Valdez to Fairbanks was in the
neighborhood of three hours in
favor of this point as a terminal.
So long as Valdez remains the
farthest north port and the pres
ent climatic, conditions exist, just
so long will this port remain the
most feasible entrepot of the in
land empire.
This by no manner "I means
goes to imply that our sister
town of Cordova has not a pros
perous future before it. With the
opening of the Bering coal fields,
that place will become the ocean
terminus of a great shipping
business. The development of
her copper and gold resources ly
ing in her hinterland will in it
self make a prosperous city.
Valdez has suffered many set
backs, some of them almost stun
ning in their effects; but her peo
ple never gave up and finally be
gan the development of nature’s
resources surrounding her on.ev
ery side, with the effect thal tier
population has never ceased
growing, easily maintaining her
position as the Queen Cit> of
Prince William sound. Cordova,
like Seward, will keep apace with
the growth of the eounlrj trib
utary to them, and they both have
an empire at their heck and call
if they give their attention I" its
development.
In (he struggle uf life, com
munities. like individuals, strive
for supremacy. If Valdez, at this
lime, has turned a trick on her
rival, it has been done purely as
a commercial proposition, to
quote at least the meaning of an
editorial in the Alaskan at a time
when our neighboring city was
making an effort to have the seat
of government transferred from
Valdez to I tie iimnie ipuiitv on Ur
ea Inlet.
Maybe some day life will cease
to he a struggle of the survival
of the liltest. and when that day
comes to pass there will be no
rivalry between communities: un
til then I tie people of Valdez will
he only too glad to note the
growth of Cordova and Seward
where that prosperity is not gain
ed at the expense of ourselves.

i
It j a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic, j
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use j
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in Urn growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
