LIKE THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Somehow we cannot but like like that old town Cor
dova. It appears to be the last spot in Alaska which has
real spirit. Maybe it is because Cordova has many Irish.
And there yon find Irish you will find spirit, or spirits.
Once it was coal which got Cordova onto the front
pages of the outside press and accorded it a heroic posi
tion akin to the tea drinkers of Boston.
Now it is spirits which bids fair to add luminosity to
the Copper City’s already brilliant escutcheon.
Following a dance, wherein the stranger, within the
gates were participants, some jolly spirits—internal and
external,—staged a May-pole dance on the “Great White
Way,” evoking the appearance of law-enforcement
officials with threats of the ‘pokey” and other discipline.
All of which caused the Woman’s Club, says the Cor
dova Times, to rescind a vote of 38 to 1 for strick enforce
ment of the dry law, and come out 38 to 1 in favor of
letting the boys'have a little fun, even tho some might fall
off the dock into the bay. Which awakens speculations
on just what brand Cordova is enjoying that it thus awak
ens the old spirit of independence and rebellion against
over-regulation. Maybe if we could get a keg or two we
might put some pep into our town and nose in on the
front page instead of staying in the calamity column un
der the heading of births, deaths and marriages.
