AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Develop a community spirit.
It is the community spirit
that brings the citizenship
closer together and eliminates
the lines drawn by cliques. To
accomplish anything for the
good of the community, a sent
iment in favor of the proposed
project must be created and it
is easy to create this sentiment
if the proper community spirit
prevails.
The mqin object of this life
should be to make the world
a better place in which to live
but this cannot be accomplish
ed with a citizenship pulling
in different directions. The
lesser differences should be
forgotten when a project is
put forth whereby the whole
community will prosper and
be benefitted. If every citizen
of the community would get
together and eliminate minor
prejudges, work with but one
object in view and that to
make Hyder the best town in
the Territory in which to live,
the things accomplished would
form a moument to the pres
ent generation that would live
through the ages and be an in
spiration for future generat
ions to continue the good
work.

MORE THAN ORE
NEEDED TO MAKE MINES
Another pet platitude of cert
ain mining journals is the par
rot-like repetition: “It takes
ore to make a mine,” says
Mining Truth, (Spokane). As
a matter of fact it takes more
than ore to make a mine.
There are immense ore depos
its scattered all thru this west
ern land—but they aren’t
mines until someone digs into
them. And even after they be
come mines they don’t always
pay until some fellow comes
along who really knows his
business. Better mechanical
methods, adequate financing
and occasionally just blind
luck have a lot to do with
making mines.
The personality of the oper
ator is just as important in
mining as in any other busi
ness, and conservative finan
cial publications such as Bar
ron’s and the W>11 Street
Journal never cease to empha
size the importance of the
human element. There come
to mind a few mining concerns
in this district which beyond
^doubt have ore, but whose
shares are not at all popular
because of public distrust of
the management’s ability.
There are also concerns which
are engaged in development
work and "have demonstrated
roe bodies as yet, yet which
can be readily financed be
cause people have learned to
trust the men directing them.
Sometimes a company organ
ized to operate in a certain
property finds its work there
fruitless, transfers its atten
tion to another and perhaps
a distant field, and makes
good. The Federal’s great
Morning mine was not part of
its original holdings, nor did
the Consolidated when it was
organized contemplate owner
ship of the now famous Sul
livan. Two of the most promis
ing companies operating in
Montana started their carreers
in Idaho; another one with
favorable outlook in Idaho
and Alaska was formed to
mine an old alifornia property.

! PASSING OF THE PORCH.
j In looking over the “own
I your home” plans of a noted
family magazine the other
day, the realization was born
that another great American
Institution was passing. Once
thought deathless, it is reject
ed by the rising generation.
Only a decade ago it was in
dispensable to the American
home but today it is almost
wholly foreign to that home.
For centuries it was more than
an institution, it was a nat
ional tradition and an honor
ed ideal. Today it is ridiculed,
maligned or, what" is still
more ignominous, forgotten.
This tragic victim of progress
is the front porch. No longer
is it considered by architects
in the drafting of their plans
for the modern home, and
with the “new” home-builder
it is as obselete as the wood
shed and out-kitchen. While
the solarium and roofless
plazas which grace the mod
ern home have replaced the
old-fashioned porch, they can
never fulfill the ancient duties
of the old “front porch.”
Once the home was judged by
its veranda. Formerly it was
a coveted privilege to rock in
a chair on the front porch, to
see and be seen, but in this
revolutionary age it is consid
er very bourgeois to expose
one’s self in such an idle mood
and reposing posture to the
curious crowds. The porch has
been abolished, so the house
hold can not sit out to see the
world pass by on parade, and
to perfect the conspiracy
against th e front porch high
walls and hedges now pre
vent the “parade” from look
ing in.
Some through sentiment will
miss the old front porch along
with the' hitching post, cigai
store Indian, watering trough
and blushing maiden, but the
viewers-with-alarm with their
customary pessimism will set
in it a confirmation of the re
port that people don’t build
porches because the modern
home is only a place to sleep
in and the report that the
automobile has supplanted the
porch as the great American
perspective and rest-resort.
Just for Fun!

No, subscriber; the sweef
peas will NOT be as large at

| Poetic justice is perhaps serv
ed these days when a barber
has to listen while cutting a
lady’s hair.
Report says the illegal hooch
i ldusiry gives employment to
one million persons—not in
cluding, of course, the under
tab rs.
Some are so at home any
where they make others feel,
like company.
Considering his proclivities,
“Jack” Dempsey is well nam
ed.
If he is killing time, you can’t
tell whether he is merely a
dishonest workman or the
foreman.
Many married chaps may not
agree with the sentiment that
it is better to be loved and
bossed than never to be loved
at all.
It is provoking to have an
automobile driver “honk’’ hi3
disappointment at having miss
ed you.
Some wives would hardly
want to claim the credit of
having made their husbands
what they are.
Thoughtful parents are those
who try very hard to live up
to their children.

Truth crushed to earth
Will rise,, By Heck
But a straw hat crushed
Is a total wreck.
Wind at lerfst keeps things in
motion, even if its nothing but
lower jaws.
“Sweetest of them all, “My
dearest, my only own,” “how
I adore you!” “There is no
other half so sweet,” “You
are the only girl for me,”—
“I love you.”
How many hundreds of times
he had repeated those very
words! Ah, how many thou
sands of times! And yet, he
had been perfectly sincere
each lime. You see, he was a
writer of sentimental song hits.
Rowing Coach-“You want to
come out for the crew, huh?
Ever rowed before?
Candidate-“Only a horse,
Husband (reading aloud a
newspaper report of a fire) :
One woman escaped down a
waterpipe at the back of the

Religion has failed of its pur

bigoted opinions.
There is no evidence that the
calamity which befell Samson
menaces the modern bobber.
It is -about time for someone
to write a treatise on “The
Other Nine Commandments.”
Most wives will forgive their
husbands for going wrong, but
not many for going broke.
Don’t trust to luck anything
that you can do yourself.
Sarah: “Did he kiss you
against your will?”
Gladys: “He thinks he did.”
First Sheik: I told her she
could either pet or walk home.
Second Ditto: What did she
say?
First Same: She said she
would be darned if she would.
Second Ditto: Would what?
First Also: Walk.
A man may be considered
quite well trimmed when he
has nothing left but a stock
of bad habits.
Grafting is all right in the
spring of the year, but it
should be limited to horticult
uralists.

Horses used to get scared
when they saw an auto. Now
they get scared when they
don’t see any auto.
One of the puzzles in life is
why a hotel tries to sound so
homey in. its ads and then acts
the way it does in real life.
“Mandy, what foh is you

“Go ’long Big Boy, an’ lem

A call to breakfast usually
gets a man out of bed quick

the night before.
Angry Customer—These eggs
aren't fresh.
Grocer (indignantly)— Not
fresh; Why, the boy brought
them from the country this
morning.
“What country?”
“How are you getting on at
your job, Bill?”
“Fine; I’ve got five men under
me now.”
“Really?”
“Yes-I work upstairs!”
Affable fellow passenger: “So
you are an actor? I am a bank
er and I think it is at least
fifteen years since I was at a
theater.”
Actor: “And I’m quite certain
its at least fifteen years since
I was at a bank.”
