native resource* which are responsible
for its existence.
PUBLISHED WEEKLY

A PROMISE FULFILLED
Some men possess the knack of
doing things, their executive in
stinct appears to be developed be*
yond the average, and when they
take hold df a project, that project
is as good as accomplished, Work
to them becomes easy because there
is pp hesitation in their methods;
not only that, but they seem to im*
bue their co-workers with extra
ambition gnd stamina,
When the project of railing the
unprotected portions of the streets
and sidewalks in Hyder was con
sidered by the Commercial Asso
ciation at its last meeting, Stanley
Oaksmith. the newly appointed Dep
uty U. S. Marshal, told that body
that he would do what he could to
further the welfare of Hyder. Since
that time he has measured Up the
Work to be done, and has had it
done, personally canvassing the
business men of the town for funds
to carry on, and not only superin*
tending the work but wielding saw
and hummer with the men he had
engaged, accomplishing in little
mare than a day what looked like
a formidable undertaking.
Thanks to Marshal Oaksmith the
town is now safe for pedestrians on
I the darkest and slipperiest night,
The “High Dive Club" may as well
Close theit enrollment book and
pass into history.

If the nation Wotild cOt oht thl
sentimental spending and place the
money so used at the service of the
i veterans out of work it would look
much better and be a more pat

ally by her veterans, but confess
refuses to do more than drivel and
tearfully pat them on the back.

DO SOMETHING WORTHY
(Cordova Times)
It is the policy of the Times not
to publish i|ems of idle gossip nor
to mention the ' petty scraps that
tales place occasionally in our com
munity, We recognize the com.
munity as one big family—and
family qparrels do not look good in
cold newspaper type, There may
be occasions, however, when the
peace and dignity of the entire com
munity might become, involved, and
at sqch times we would feel that
ti was our duty to direct attention
in a geueral way to certain abuses,
jf by so doing there may be hope
of correcting them. A good way
for anyone to get their names in
the Times is for them to do some.
1 , . jt,. V- ' (
thiftg worthy as well as of interest.
But, go away, trouble!
Finland is a “dry” country, just
like the United States, You can’t
buy a shot of hootch in any post*
office or schoolhouse. ' Whiskey
smugglers are waxing rich and the
government, to put a stop to their
pernicious activities, have purchas
ed two power launches having'a
Speed of five knots when their en
gines will run.
The progress of towns is meas
ured by the public spirit of their
inhabitants. Men whose only in*
terest is in the success of their in
dividual business may make money
lot themselves, but they cannot
build successful towns any more
than a pile of stones Can furnish
sUstenenee for growing plants.
There are only 20 miles between
the ends of steel on the government
faiifoad. Wonder how far it is to
the efld of steal.
