HYDER, ALASKA, Mar. a«'. 1022'
WHY THE DELAY?
In th" Juneau Empire of March -
21 appears an interview with J. A. I
Hall of Hyder, in which it is stated'
that the United States Forest Ser- j
vice, through its chief, Charles H. i
Flory, has agreed to construct an:
approach for a dock at Hyder and
that a survey and estimates will be
made as soon as arrangements for
the work can be made.
Early in January Mr. Flory is
sued a statement as to proposed
expenditures by th^ Forest Service
for the present year, which the
Miner published January 18, in
which is the following item: “Sal- j
mon river, including approach tot
the Hyder dock, $36,000.” Nearly
three months have elapsed, and
now it is announced that a survey
hud estimates will be made as soon
as arrangements for the work can
I be made.
We would like to ask, in the j
name of the father of procrastina-1
tion, why the department had to
wait until two citizens of Hyder
went to Juneau to put in a re
minder that the appropriation had
been made and that “tempus was
fugiting,” before even a promise
was given that a survey would be
made.
We would like to ask why the
department has not availed itself;
of the survey made by Road Com
missioner Joe Ulmer in November
of last year and checked over by
him last January. Surely the de
partment cannot be in ignorance of
Mr. Ulmer’s work, and if they new
. mean business it looks as though
they would avail themselves of
this data and save both time and.
I expense.
i Present indications are that Hy
jder will not be flooded with ora-i
tory by aspirants for nomination at
the pending primaries. Delegate
Sutherland.s program, as announc
ed in Seattle, was to speak in Ket
chikan last Monday night, then go
north as far as Fairbanks. He
says he must be in Washington in
five weeks. James L. Galen, an
other Republican candidate for nom
ination as delegate, will open his
campaign in Ketchikan and work ;
work north from there. Thomas1
B. Drayton, the third Republican
candidate, is expected to confine
his activities to writing letters.
E. J. (Stroller) White, the Demo
cratic candidate, may perhaps take
a stroll this way —we have seen no
announcement as to his intentions.
The Miner doesn’t care particularly
who is nominated, though we can j
|8y tty|t paj) Sutherland form* the
one redeeming feature of the pres
ent hot air administration.
_/ "
The Republicans have won an
election in Maine. Gee! First
thing we know, the Democrats will
carry Texas,
After being in the saintly ranks
of the prohibition forces since 1912
Iceland is about to again become a
country of rum bibblers. But who
wants to move to Iceland?
Those officials who think that a
frontier mining town can be gov
erned in the same manner as a
farming village in Illinois, may just
as well make up their minds to
change their minds. It can’t be
done.
Just as we were thinking the
most pleasant thoughts about Del
egate Dan Sutherland we picked
up a Juneau paper and read that
Mrs. Hatcher says she is support
ing his candidacy. Perhaps, though,
Dan isn’t to blame for that, so let’s
be charitable and give him the ben
efit of the doubt.
When the mosquito, the flea, the
louse, are as extinct as the aurochs,
there will be plenty of enemies left
to test our mettle. What mortal
being wants a world in which there
is nothing to resist?—-Ketchikan
Chronicle. Say, big brother, d’you
think there’ll be any prohibitionists
then?

Vote for James L Galen I
for
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
m
Republican Primaries
April 25, 1922.
No man in Alaska more thoroughly understands the value
of roads in aiding the development of the Territory.
He pledges his untiring efforts in support of all road building
agencies of the government of Alaska.
He stands for larger and more comprehensive road appro
priations.
He stands for encouraging the building of trails and roads in
all sectiqns of the Territory, including necessary feeders to
make the government railroad of more service to the pros
pector and miner.
Mr. Galen has been a prospector and miner and believes in
encouraging by intelligent legislation, as well as intelligent
road and trail building, all projects designed to aid those
- who are pioneers in the Territory, and whose sacrifices and
hardships have opened up and will open up the*great min
ing districts of the North.
A vote for Galen brings prosperity nearer to the miner, the
prospector, the fisherman, the merchant and the working
