HYDER, ALASKA," Oct. la 1921
SAVE THE LAND
It would be well to make an
ly start on taking up with the au
thorities in Washington the subject
of preserving the homesites which
have been established in the north
ern portion of Hyder, commonly
seferred to as the forest teserve,
from damage if not complete anni
hilation by Salmon river. This
treacherous stream, like all glacial
streams, is never satisfied with the
channel it occupies, but is always
working away on a new course for
itself. The direction taken during
the high water of this year indi
cates that it is now determined to
cut through the forest reserve and
Lindeborg townsite, in fact a start
was made in this direction last
year, several buildings near the
bank being undermined and swept
away.
That should have been sufficient
warning to the residents of Hyder
to get busy and start a campaign j
of propaganda for river control.
But nothing was done, because
there seemed to be no one then to
lake the initiative. Now, however,
with a live commercial association
functioning, the matter can be
taken up with our delegate in Con
gress, and through him with the
proper departments, in a business
like manner.
There*are scores of homes on the
forest reserve and townsite, many
of which ar e surrounded by pro
tective and a) tractive vegetable
! flower gardens If Hyder is
co remain a home towiii if the air
is to nu'sate with the merry miisic
0 • a.lies and bid-ires, these homes
must ' ..reserved.''
,t is t .a late for any _ protective
measures to be undertaken this
fall, but it is not too early to start
the machinery in motion for pro
ducing results next year. The sit
uation should be clearly outlined
to Delegate Dan Sutherland and
the necessity of commencing the
1 work of protecting the river bank
| as early in the spring as climatic
conditions will allow should be
strongly urged. Fortunately, Dan
is"thoroughiy familiar with glacial
streams, and will need no second
telling to fully understand what
is liKeiv to happen to the threaten
ed portion of the town if the erratic
movements of the river are not
curbed.

yrac) In the forest res$r;ve which
i^acis something as follqws: "This
Rropiwty belongs to the Methodist
Church,” This is a new one on us,
We have been under the impression
that ,the forest reserve belongs to
Unole Sam, and that the portion
suuveyed into lots is leased to bona
fide residents for an annual rental.
Some of the bunk sloughed off
on unsuspecting newspapers by
"news" bureaus, is refreshing. We
were just Feading about a woman
with two small children walking
600 miles in ten days. Jliat would
be 60 miles every 24 hours; 20
hours a day at three miles an hour,
leaving four hours for eating and
sleeping. Just bunk, that’s all.
Keep your friends Outside posted
by sending them the Miner.
