The early day primitive as
pects of the camp are fast
vanishing before the march
of progress. Even in the hills,
the rough and crude is being
supplanted by the modern.
The latest manifestation of
this tendency to leave the
primitive behind is displayed
: in the recent action of the
| Premier Company in painting
its buildings at Nine Mile
“railroad red,” with white
trimmings. The company has
! also installed in the camp the
! electric light ph^nt formerly1
<at Angle Station 3.

Flash Lights—The Midget Em
porium.
The power boat Maude B.
arrived from Ketchikan Satur
day morning with a list of 10
male passengers, all of whom
were bound for the Seims,
Carlson road camp on Salmon
River.
i Included in the list of passen
gers on the Prince George
were J. L Krull, of St. Louis,
Mo., representative of the
! passenger traffic department
of the Canadian National Rail
ways, and R. D. Johnson, of
San Francisco, Cal., a divison
al passenger agent of the San
,ta Fe system, who was accom
panied by Mrs. Johnson. The
two spent several hours in
Hyder during the stay pf the
George and were very much
interested in what Mr. John
son termed the “pioneer ways
and conditions”. Mr. Krull was
very much surprised to find
flowers in bloom in Alaska at
this time of the year and was
very enthusiastic about the!
genial climate of this section
of “Seward’s Ice Box.” So
much impressed was he by the
flowers that he secured a
bouquet which he hopes to take
back to St. Louis to show that
Alaska is not like the popular
conception—a vast berged and
hummocked ice field with a
polar bear or two and a passel
of fur clad Eskimos squatting
on it amidst icy gales.
I He said he saw enough in
| Hyder during his stay to make
[him a booster for the camp
forever.
