EDITORIAL COMMENT.
mama—■——t—w—o—<—■— m n^»»* *
An increase in income cre
ates a desire for more of the
comforts of life. This econom
ic fact is supported by the
great number of homes going
up in the various native vil
lages. The natives of South
east Alaska were fairly pros
perous this year in the fishing
industry. The local stores are
kept busy ordering furniture,
building materials, and many
of the comforts of a good
home, a demand that existed
in a much less pronounced de
gree last year.
The trouble with saving
for the rainy day in this part
of Alaska is, that it rains al
most incessantly. Neverthe
less, we should lay by a little
for investment in our various
cooperative enterprises. The
Cohoe and King Salmon may
not camp here next year.

Now that we all have a little
spare cash, let us use it wise
ly. Spend to a purpose.
The death of Mr. Edwin
Scott came as a serious blow
not only to his family but to
Hydaburg Trading Co. and
the town welfare in general.
Mr. Scott w as the mill fore
man and member of the
Board of Directors. As mill
foreman, he had few equals.
He w as always able to get a
long with his men under his
supervision. As a director he
served the best interest of
the company faithfully.
As a citizen, he always kept
the w elfare and progress of
the w hole town uppermost in
mind. We miss the cheerful,
optimistic, yet commanding
presence of Mr. Scott. The
New Native expresses deep
syampathy with those near
and dear to him.
We have heard that Metla
katla is making big prepara
tion for the coming Fair. They
are building and planning to
care for the many visitors
from the West Coast. Also, it
was rumored that an especial
effort is put forth toward a
good program of action and
speaking.
This is all fine and worth
looking forward to. But we
must all make a contribution
to the occasion and that
means hard work. It is not a
question of beating this or
that group of people.
The question is right up to
every one of us: What have
you to give? what ideas, thots,
song, speeches, acts will you
bring that will add to the in
formation and apprection of
all?
In men whom men con
demn as ill I find so much of
goodness still; In men whom
men pronounce divine I find
so much of sin and blot, I
hesitate to draw a line Be
tween the two, where God
has not.
The sound of the school
bell is the call of civilization.
When a Plumber makes a mis
take, he charges time for it.
When a Lawyer makes a mistake
it is just what he wanted, becau^jl|
he has a chance to try the case air
over again.
When a Carpenter makes a mis
take, it’s just what he expected
When a Doctor makes a mistake
he buries it.
When a Judge makes a mistake
it becomes the law of the land.
When a Preacher makes a mis
take, nobody knows the difference
When an Electrician makes a mis
take, he blames it on induction, no
body knows what that means.
When a bookkeeper makes a mis
take, he charges it up to adjustment
When an editor makes a mistake*,
he admits it.
But when the storekeeper or Pres
ident of the H. T. Co. make mistakes
GOOD NIGHT Nurse !!!
