fect its organization.
Recognizing the nearness of
spring planting time Proprie
tor Frank Reichenback of the
Hyder Grocery, has laid in a
i large and highly varied assort
ment of fresh flowers and veg
etable seeds, which will enable
1 local householders to not only
beautify their premises in

M R. Speight, a member of
the engineering staff of the
Granby plant, returned to An
yox on the Cardena after a
short visit at Premier.
J. Bush, a brother of Earl
Bush, of Hyder, B. C. arrived

Local parties who left here on
the Wales last week report
that there was two feet of snow
on the ground in Ketchikan at
the time of their arrival. The
unprecedented display of the
beautiful had fallen within a
period of 36 hours. As a usual
thing Ketchikan seldom has
two feet of snow throughout
the year, as the weather gods
in that locality are more part
ial to “plenty rain” than any
other form of winter weather.
According to reports received
in Ketchikan ihe snow extend
ed as far north as Petersburg.
