AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Commenting on a recent art
icle in this journal which dis
played the uncomprehensible
ignorance of Seattle business
house? regarding the where
abouts of Hyder, and also dis
closing hat even when they do
wish to learn something about
u? there is an equally deplor
able absence of sources of in
formation in the Puget Sound
port, our esteemed contempo
rary, the Alaska Weekly deliv
ers itself thus:
“A Seattle manufacturer writ
ing to a merchant in Hyder
states hat “from all informat
ion we could get here in Se
attle it would be many months
befoi - 1 boat would go direct
to Hyder.” The Hyder Herald
commenting on this communi
cation laments the fact that
such 'gnorance should prevail
concerning the city of Hydei
with which Seattle does many
thousands of dollars of busi
ness ea 'h month.
We •’gree with the Hyder
Herald and feel something of
a sen’e of injured dignity our
selves, for during the last two
years we have used column on
column of space to tell the
world about Hyder and its
cummorcial and investment
possibilities.”
When we had read thus far
that warm spot in our heart
for the big Seattle journal
grew and expanded under the
imnul'e of kindly feeling that
frien 'ly sympathy and under
standing bestow. “Here is
one.” we thought, “who, in the
words of our own Sam Dun
ham. ‘feels and understands’
who knows as we know that
annoying lack of interest cus
tomarily shown by Seattleites
toward the goose that lays Se
attle’s golden eggs; one who
realizes the sting that all good
Alaskans feel at finding that
in the main Seattle is not only
utterlv ignorant of but also ut
terly indifferent to everything
T^rtaining to Alaska except
AlasVno dollars; furthermore:
one who. like our humble self,
i- trv’ner to place the true facts
ronc«'~ning the Territory be
fore the world, so that all who
will m*»v know this great and
t-M" bnd as it really is and
who is devoting a wide and
pWnntid knowledge of things
/l-'-’-an to that beneficial
end.”
A 14bio we thought, and more.
And then we came to this:
“ por the benefit of other man
ufacturers and jobbers who
may be mis-informed, we may
say that the Admiral Line luis
r boat running direct to Hyder
r • y week and we might add
—~«~Kon that The Alaska
Weekly stands ready to dls>
pense information on all things
Alaskan to any who want it oi
[need it.”
I And then, after recovering
| from the shock of this illumi
inating piece of misinformat
ion, we thought— well, just
jwhat you are thinking— with
a few gentle cuss-words on
i the side.
‘‘Buy in Hyder” is a good
slogan. For the local resident
to purchase here the things he
needs for personal use, is only
the practice of good economic
Eolicy. Dollars spent at home
ave a tendency to stay there.
.Dollars spent in far cities are
'gone, never to return to do du
!ty in Hyder.
Buy in Hyder” is also a good
civic policy. It is the essence
of civic loyalty. “Dollar Loyal
ty” is positive as well as senti
mental loyalty. No city ever
[grew and prospered except as
| is stores grew and prospered.
No store ever prospered as it
might in a town where the lo
cal population was not loyal to
the local merchant. That might
be put down as an axiom.
The Herald is convinced thai
the merchants of Hyder are the
best on earth. It knows this be
cause it deals with most of
them every day. They are hon- i
est, fair-minded and progress-;
ive. They are courteous. They
are square. Anyone who doubts
this can have it proved to his I
owh satisfaction by simply
“Buying in Hyder.”
"A live merchant” is a man
who is always busy, anticipate!
ing the customer’s wants.
He is a man who keeps his
counters and shelves clean,
orderly, and attractive.
He is a man who knows the
value of window displays.
He is a man who knows the
value of advertising, and ad
vertising material supplied by
the manufacturer without cost
to the retailer, and he puts his
advertising material on top of
the counter instead of under it.
He is a man who always has
a welcome, sincere smilev
whether it’s a customer, or not
that enters the door.
He is a man who knows the
value of co-operation with
salesmen.
He is a man who wins-in
cash, friendship, health and
reputation.
He is more than a good, live
retailer—he is a good citizen.

Despair and hope are often so
close together that there’s only
a smile and a step between.
Just For Fun
“Beauty is only skin deep.”
But who wants to skin a pretty
girl.
Perhaps the hardest thing is
to tell the sinners from the
righteous when you know ’em
both pretty well.
A cynic is he who looks at
middle aged women-and imag
ines a picture of the girl he
will marry at that age.
The crossword puzzle has
lured many a man back to the
home from which he was driv
en by cross words.
When the lips of some girls
are made up, says the Blue
berry Kid, they are ready to
go to press with most any man.

A feller whom
We like a few
Is one who keeps
His face shut too.
“Don’t make the mistake,”
says Merl “of thinking it’s all
right to tell a man just what
you think of him.”
Ray Snyder declares that a
girl with a pretty knee can grin
and bear it.
A. G. Stiles of Wheeling, W.
Va., found two gold nuggets at
the bottom of his coal pile the
other day. Not satisfied with
boosting the price, they are
adulterating the coal!
“I know, a young man,” says
Uncle Eben “Dat is wastin’ his
economy. All he’s savin’ up fer
is to buy a setter pup, a shot
gun, a banjo and several
bottles of hair polish.”
Hotel men declare that 97 per
cent of their guests are honest,
says Paddy. For the other 3 per
cent, they have signs in the
rooms, asking: “Have you left
anything besides the Gideon
Bible?”
“I see it all now,” cried the
hero of the modern drama as
they turned the spotlight on
the heroine.
“What is that string around
your finger for?”
“To remind me to post a letter
for my wife.”
“Have you posted it?”
“No she forgot to give it to
“Oh, I wish I had something
around me,” said the young
lady as they came down from
Premier in the back end of the
stage, furtively glancing at hei
escort's arm.
“It’s too bad you didn't brir.j
your coat,” replied the sophist
