AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm tr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
rormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Better Times Ahead
With commodity prices at
bargain levels and great re
serves of savings piled up by
bank depositors throughout
the country, it will not be long
before they will begin to with
draw at least part of these
funds for purchases they can
no longer postpone.
The situation was cited this
week by Silas H. Altorfer,
maker of A. B. C. washers and
other electrical home utilities,
as a reason for his conviction
that general busuiess recuper
ation is getting under way. He
also said:
“The program this country
went through in 1P21 will be
re-enacted. We cat. expect un
employment to wane as pur
chasing power waxes. Produc
tion and distribution also will
gain.’’
An unusual and stiiking in
dication of the way the wind is
blowing is the formation in
New Yory of four short-term
fixed investment trusts in
which shareholders plan to
benefit from gains in stock
values, rather than from stock
yields. Evidently these finan
ciers are convinced that the
downward trend has ended
and that their securities now
are ready for a steady climb.

A New Doctrine
It is surprising how many
people nowadays are saying
that “we need a better dis
tribution of wealth,” says the
Wallace (Idaho) Press-Times.
“People used to say that,”
the journal continues, “but
they were neary all poor wage
earners or fanatical students
of socialism. The remarkable
thing about it now is that such
sentiments come so largely
from calm, comfortable, well
to-do citizens, professional
people, capitalists ami indus
trial leaders. And for the first
time this new doctrine is being
treated seriously by the public
instead of being damned with
out a hearing as ‘ “radical
ism” ’ or ‘ “socialism.” '

Stand Fat For Kcnest Money
(From .Mining Truth)
Silver goes up a few cents,
and immediately a propa
ganda starts to tl’.e effect that
alter all there is “nothing
wrong,” and that the white
metal will eventually seek its!
‘rue price level as a commod
ity.
But there are many things
radically wrong—there is no ;
•eason why a mere fractional
recovery should appease the
robbed millions—and until sil
ver is considered as a money j
and not as a commodity the
woild will remain in danger of
an explosion which may wipe 1
out Western civilization.
Silver’s rightful value is
?1.72f4 per ounce. Every cent |
less than that represents rob-|
bery of those who possess
silver, for the benefit of those
who possess gold.
Twenty billion dollars, one
Wall Street authority say*, is
tied up in unsold goods, the so
called “over-production.” Yet
these goods are needed by
people who lack the money to
pay for them. They lack this
money because the single gold
standard has destroyed the
puichasing power of more than
half the human race, and is
rapidly destroying that of the
remaining half.
The world’s problem is not!
merely a silver problem, but
a money problem. Until a
stable international currency;
is restored, there is no hope
or chance for permanent world i
wide prosperity.
And until all the world is
permanently prosperous, civ
ilization is in danger. 1
Just for Fun
-o
Wife: “John, the house is on
fire!”
John (sleepily) : “Well, go
shut off the furnace. There’s
no use wasting coal.
i “ Why did you tell Joe you
• mairied me because I’m a
wonderful cook? I can’t boil
a potato!”
“But I had to give some ex
cuse.”
She: “Why so thoughtful,
dear?”
He: “I have one dollar over
this week and can’t remember
which installment I forgot to
pay.”
“Willie,” said the Sunday
school teacher, severely, “you
shouldn’t talk like that to your
playmate. Had you ever
i thought of heaping coals of
tire on his head?”
“No, ma’am, 1 hadn’t but it’s
a peach of an idea!”
A cowpuncher ordered a
.steak at a restaurant. The
waiter brought it in—rare—
very rare. The puncher looked
at it and demanded that it be
returned to he kitchen and
cooked.
“’Tis cooked,” snapped the
waiter.
“What do you mean cook
ed?” said our friend, the
puncher, “I’ve seen cows hurt
worse than that get well.”
An employer who believed in
supporting all efforts to intro
duce a new spirit into industry
had called his men together
to place before them his plans
for bettering working condit
ions.
“Now, whenever I enter the
workshop,” he said, “I want
lo see every man cheerfully
performing his task, and there
fore I invite you to place in
his box any suggestions as to
how that can be brought
about.”
A few days later he opened
he box and took out a slip of
taper on which was written:
‘Take the rubber heels oft
your shoes.”
WHAT’S NEW?
A projector giving depth to
motion pictures displayed on
t screen is claimed by a
French inventor.
A device for police has been
nvented to hold a revolver on 1
i dashboard or at any other
convenient place on an auto-;
mobile.
Electric motors installed in
:he bowling alleys of the Ger
man Lloyd S. S. Bremen facil
itate the setting of pins and re
turn of the ball to the bow
ler.
A bag for carrying bathing
suits has been invented that
can be inflated to serve as a
pillow or float to support a
person’s head in water.
A device installed at the
University of Texas cuts ig
neous rocks in transparent
slices one-half millimeter thick
aiding microscopic study.
Detachable covers have been
invented that enable women to
use umbrellas as sun shades in
colors that harmonize with
costumes.
TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
April 27, 1921.
—
: Ed Herman and Gus Erickson
! have re-opened the Portland
; Cafe, the pioneer restaurant of
j Hyder.
' There is something of an epi-' ■
demic in camp of what ap
j peats to be a form of the flu
I and many people are ill in bed
| or scarcely able to be around.
John Haati and Albert
i Peterson are busy packing sup- j
| plies up the mountain in prep
j oration for development of a
| lead on the Silverado group, i
I which was discovered by Haati ,
iast fall and from which as-'
says as high as 1100 ouncesj i
In silver are reported to have
been obtained. It is the inten
tion to rawhide the rich ore ,
down the mountain and make
i shipment in the fall.
Frank Nagle has converted
his truck into a passenger car
| and gone into the taxi busi-'
I ness on the Hyder-Stewart
' run. ! i
D. W. McLeman is finishing
i an addition to the Alaska Cafe
I which Bob Keith says will be
j a modern bake shop.
Temperatures for the week
'as reported by Oren F. Hill
iranged from a maximum of
j 54 to a minimum of 32 above.
' Average maximum was 58,
; average minimum, 37 above.
Ur. W. D’Arcy Chace is
looking over the camp with I
a view to settling here. His
: present home is Ketchikan.
John Hovland, pioneer assay
er of the camp, has reopened *
his assay office in Hyder.
E. E. Coffyn, movie man, ar
rived on the Taku from Jun-1
eau and will supply Hyder
with as high class picture at
tractions as can be seen in
Alaska.
Hyder is steadily forgoing
ahead without blare of trum
pets or clash of cymbals. There f
is not a vacant residence in I
own and recent arrivals have j
i hard time securing living I
luaiters. There is an increas- I
lug demand for both residen- I
ia 1 and business lots and sev- j
eial sales have been recorded |
lately. The demand for lum- I
her is such that the Hyder J
sawmill is compelled to work I
two shifts with the planer;!
running incessantly.
Yael Rozenstain has just j
purchased the lot across the
street from the Hyder Drug
Store and has started to erect
a modern store building 30x
40 feet, with a large ware
house addition. The work is
being done by Nick Belyin.
'Lance Crane has sold his I
residence near the foot of In- I
ternationay way to the Hyder I
Townsite and Improvement Co.
The Alaskan Hotel has re
opened and has been full-up
for some time.
Chris Benson has opened a
store and roadhouse at the I
Fish Creek crossing.
