Although new snow has been
(visible on the nearby mountain
slopes for some time, little of
it has so far reached the floor
of the lower Salmon basin and
Hyder is enjoying the longest
snow-free fall in years. There
has also been a marked dimin
ution in the amount of rain
throughout the fall period.
The first real snow-fall oc
curred here last year on Octo
ber 12, while the first of 1932
developed November 3. In
1930, 1929 and 1928 the first
falls occurred respectively on
October 12, October 29, and
October 20.

black hole left in the sidewalk
on International Way by the
big fire in July, Edgar Prov

something wa • done about it.
He thereupon ordered lum
ber from the mill and proceed
ed last Sunday to build some
50 or 60 feet of fine sidewalk
across the gap.

ance tendered by Pat Staple
ton and Hubert Thomas, he did
the work himself, in addition
to shouldering the cost of the
material used.
As he is in no way interested
in the ownership iojf the abut
ting properties, the replacing
of the walk was in no degree a
personal obligation.
His gratuitous action is de
serving of the warmest admir
ation and praise, for it disclos
es a sense of pride in the ap
pearance of the community
well worthy .of emulation by
others. If citizens everywhere
were imbued with the same ad
mirable spirit of pride in the
appearance of their town there
would be fewer unsightly and
unprogressive appearing com
munities in the country.
