LOCAL TOPICS
Proprietor Merle Thomas of
the Hyder Mercantile Company
is again about after a brief
spell of sickness last week.
Mrs. John .L. Campbell has

a severe cold during the past
| few days but is once more able
to be about.

As a result of the breaking
of a stringer, the bridge on In
ternational Avenue near the
i Midget Emporium was ren
dered unsafe for heavy traf
fic last week, necessitating re
j pairs by the Premier and town
j site managements which have
placed it in good shape.
In response to the urge of the
; hiking spirit, Mr. and Mrs. Or
!en F. Hill walked to the Dun
well Sunday, securing as a re
ward some fine looking sam
ples of the high grade ore re
cently discovered on that very
promising property.
G. P. Powell, who has been
employed for some time at No.
12 angle station on the Premier
tram, left with his family on
| the Cardena to make his fu
! tlire residence in southern
British Columbia, where he ex
pects to engage jn ranching.

Wire gold and argentite are

(values are reported improving

iate and lower tunnels,

Thomas Powers, foreman ot
the Premier dock, is back from
a trip to Vancouver, made in
i connection with the suit of the
j Premier mine -for damages for
[the loss of a barge-load of com
centrates last year. Mr. Pow-,
! ers was a- witness at the hear
ings, as were also a number of,
i other employees of the Pre^

Prompt attention on the part
of the road officials has been
accorded the recent petition of
the Texas Creek claim owners
for the construction of a wag,
■ on road up the Texas Creek
valley. Henry Hummel, who
1 has been the leading spirit in:
[the matter has received re
plies from C. W Cheatham, at^
sistant district engineer of the
Bureau of Public Roads, re
questing additional informal
jion on the subject and also a
jcopy of a certain map of the
district. A copy of the petit
ion forwarded to Relegate Dan
Sutherland has also evoked a
reply to the effect that he will

making Hyder a port of call,
the rumor persists that such Is
the intention. The report is
given, credence by the fact that
the Prince Rupert has touched
twice at the Hyder Dock
'Company dock while out
bound fronj Stewart during
the past two weeks. The of
ficers assert, however, |hat
the calls were made merely to
"get acquainted” with the
landing conditions and aver
that they have not the slights
est knowledge of any intention
on the part of the company to
make regular or even occasion
al calls.
The "Kid Dance” at Pioneer
Hall Friday evening attracted
a'good sized crowd and netted
a fair sum for the school fund,
for which purpose it was given.
A majority of those attend
ing appeared in regulation
“kid” clothes and appeared.to
derive not a little fun from the
experience of being "just a
child again.” A pleasing feat
ure of the entertainment was
a song and dance by a number
of school children in middy
.blouses and caps. Sales of can
dy during the evening added
a substantial sum to the re
ceipts. A luncheon comprising
coffee, cake and sandwiches j
was served. Nearly every- j
I,was donated, permitting the |
bulk of the receipts to be de
voted to making up a deficit
incurred in the purchase ot
supplies for the school.
Those who have witnessed
rehersals of the Hyder Minstrel
troupe during the past few
days are a unit in asserting
that the performance to be giv
en at Pioneer Hall Wednesday
evening will be one if not the
very best theatrical entertain
ment ever given in Hyder.
The various participants are
said to display excellent dram
atic powers and the dialogue
is alive with local hits of a
character to insure plenty ot
laughs. An especially effect
ive presentation is the rendit
ion of “The American Beauty..
Rose,” by Antonio Grashio,
billed under the stage pseudo
nym of “ Signor Antonio Grac
cio.” Mr. Grashio is the poss
essor of splendid elocutionary
abilities which are shown to
excellent advantage in the
beautiful poetization of “The
Sign of the Rose,” George Be
han’s famous characterization.
An additional feature is a
highly amusing burlesqe of
services in a negro church, in
which Harry Howard is said
to give a side-splitting char
acterization of a negro pulpit
expounder discussing profiteer
ing.
The price of admission is $1
and those attending are going
to get double value in live fun |
for their money.
I A bill, the object of which is
