CORDOVA SURVEY
RECENT LOSSES
CORDOVA DRUG STORE FOUNDA
TION TOTTERING; DANGER
OF COLLAPSE
With the charred ruins of Cordo
va’s most disastrous fire standing
bleak and forlorn looking in the re
cent snowstorm and the .tottering
Cordova Drug Store building in dan
ger of collapsing at any minute be
cause of weakened foundation, busi
ness men and tenants who sustained
recent property losses were making
a calm survey of .the situation states
the Cordova Times.
Three of the five businss men
have signified their intentions to go
back into business as soon as insur
ance and stock readjustments are
made, and one, George McDonald,
owner of the Cordova Drug store and
building, was having an estimate
made as to the cost of rebuilding on
the site of the old structure.
The proprietors of the Star Cafe
are already casting about for a new
location, the vacant Tumble Inn and
the ground floor of the Northern
Hotel being reported as prospective
establishments.
R. B. Dyson, who succeeded in re
moving most of .his general merchan
dise stock, hopes to locate again
within a few days, he said. No plans
were made, however, by either Eman
uel Swanson, owner of the dry goods
store, or by William Urquart, owner
of the Rex Barber Shop. As for the
tenants of the apartments in both
the Borden and drug store buildings,
they have moved into other lodgings,
some temporary and others perman
ent.

SCANDAL MONGERS H I
DENOUNCED FHOM PULPIT
LONDON, March 8. (/P)—Scandal
mongers, by name, are to be de- r
nounced from the pulpit by the Rev. ]
T. P. Stevens, vicar of St. Matthew’s i
church, New Kent road. Policemen £
are not concerned with petty gossip i
spreaders, says the minister, who (
has conceived this scheme of dealing
with persons of a spiteful nature. i
“The female scandal monger of <
South London is .the counterpart of
the male grumbler who has no j
healthy thoughts, and therefore re
sorts to the eaasiest form of conver- j
sation—fault finding,” writes the j
vicar in his parish magazine. i
“The female species is the same
type. She chatters empty stupidities ■
and does harm in that way. The
thing for the vicar to do is to ignore
her, but if ©he really does harm and
alienates young people from church,
she must be memtioned from the
pulpit or reported to the bishop.”
Wm. Lawing, while in Steward the
other day, is said to have made a
deal for the purchase of the gasboat
Hazel, owned by Captain Berger. Mr.
Lawing has been looking about for
another boat to operate in conjunc
tion with the summer resort, for
some -time.
