HYDER, ALASKA, Mar. 18 1991
WANTED-A WHARF
Hyder must have a wharf. The
town has been waiting hopefully
for one of the many bureaus whloh
control this Territory from far-dis
tant Washington to provide means
of landing In the town, but up to
the present our hopes have been In
vain.
The Canadian government kindly
built a wharf as dose to Hyder as
tney coma gei aeep uu
anian territory and this wharf haa
been a great help to the town. But
ti is not an American wharf and
there will always be more or less
meonvenience ia landing geods
there for Hydsr.
Business warrants the construc
tion of a wharf here. Hytter re
ceives most of the euppliee which
come into the districf. |f Ve had
an American WhaVf, Amerioaa
boats would call here fer ore which
now goes south onCanaduUkboaU.
In addition, all merchandise would
be handled more expeditiously than
under the present system.
Captain Williams and Captain
Clary should for all time be held
in the highest regard here for bring
ing the Taku II in and unloading
onto scows while the craft is at an
ohor, exposed to the onslaughts of
storms which at times sweep down
from the north. No less esteem
should be shown H. Hucke who, in
all kinds of weather, day os night,
goes out and brings the passengers
and merchandise ashore.;. These
worthy citieens should not be com
pelled to undergo the hardship
which is now their portion. *ne
swivel-chair dictators of Alaskan
policies in Washington should pro
vide relief for this district. We hers
are Alaskans, and of Alaska, and
should be shown some consideration
It is understood that an applica
tion has been made to the war de
partment for a wharf site and that
the applicants are prepared to build
immediately they receive assurance
that the government road will be
extended a matter of a few yards
to connect with the wharf approach.
C. W. Cheatham, superintendent of
the Bureau of Public Roads, said
recently that this department could
not do anything toward extending
the Salmon valley road to connect
with a wharf, but that funds for
this purpose might be secured ffetn
the Post Roads departments
