AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Wishing1 all patrons and the
general public a Happy and
Prosperous New Year.

THE NEW YEAR AND
THE OLD.
The past year has witnessed
the greatest progress in Hy
der’s history. Mining develop
ment advanced on a scale far
greater than ever before and
resulted in a large number of
new mineral discoveries in var
ious parts of the district. Mon
, ey for mining purposes was
more available than at any
time since the camp was found
ed. Local business as a whole
prospered and few business
firms but have improved their
condition materially since the
beginning of 1928. Those who
suffered by the disastrous fire
in June are practically the
only exceptions. All whose af
fairs continued in the normal
trend have made progress and
in some degree improved their
condition. The closing year
was a good one for Hyder and
the entire Portland Canal dist
rict industrially and financial
ly . In addition it brought to us
assurances of even greater
progress and prosperity in the
coming year. We need no long
er guess as to the future of our
basic industry, mining, nor
wait forlornly as in years past
for the development capital
without which no mining coun
try can make progress. The re
sults of earlier development
are now attracting capital to
the district from far and wide. |
The roads to facilitate the op- j
ening of inaccessible sections,!
for which we have so long
sought, are now coming as
as fast as construction permits,
opening possibilities for a wide
increase in mining activities in
the little developed sections,
and lowering haulage and op
erating costs, all of which will
become more apparent as the !
new year unfolds its days to <
our perception. •
And not least among the poss- <
ibilities looming on the horizon
! of the dawning year is the
I prospect that our little com
i munity will ere long become
the actual western terminus of
a railroad connecting far-isol
ated Alaska with the great
centers of the American cont
inent. While it is true that this
pleasing prospect can scarcely
be realized for some time, no
one who has familiarized him- j
1 self with the vast wealth pro-1
i duction and development poss-1
j Abilities of the proposal but
I will realize that the coming of !
| a railroad to the shores of!
! Portland Canal is a certain j
eventuality of the not distant
future. The coming year will
undoubtedly witness consider
able progress in connection
with the project and it is not
oy any means improbable that
chat the plan may reach a con
crete form before the New j
Year has taken its place in the i
annals of Time.
THE BANK OF HEALTH.
In the interests of good health
someone has likened the body j
:o a checking account in the \
\ >ank. The checking account I
vill continue growing as long
is the deposits exceed the
vithdrawals. Neglect to make
egular deposits and the ac
count is soon overdrawn.
Drawing checks before making
leposits to cover them is bad
>anking, and neither banker
lor depositor feels at ease
•vhen withdrawals keep too
;lose step with the deposits.
Isn’t it very much the same
vith your private “health
>ank?” As long as you deposit
i lot of health' to your credit
vou will have a lot of health
it the disposal of your check !
300k. The blank checks in a
-heck book in the “bank of
health’’ are not any more inex
naustible than those in any
>ther sort of check book. Un
like financial banks, the “bank
if health” doesn’t provide ad
ditional checks when your last
sheck is gone.
Deposits in your health bank
l
may be made in many forms.
They may be regular sleep,
proper eating, exercise or rec
reation, plenty of work with
both mind and body, right
posture, fresh air, communion
with nature and other health
deposits. Every waking and
sleeping hour may thus be
made a deposit in the bank of
health.
When people are not making
deposits they are quite often
drawing che'cks. In the bank
of health every deposit which
is withheld is a withdrawal.
You observe regular hours of
sleep or draw a check on your
health balance. You eat at reg
ular hours and the proper
kind of food in the proper way
or you make a demand on that
health balance. You must
work, play, think and laugh
or cause a run on the bank of
health. Deposits in this bank
are always working capital
but they require deposits to
keep that capital working.
People in poor health know
that the bank of health pays a
high rate of interest, com
pounded, to its consistent de
positors.
Just for Fun
Dear Reader Friends:
Time comes and time goes—
again we have reached an
other mile-stone in the journey
of life. The mile-stone of
friendship and good cheer—
Christmas and the New Year.
We are happy to think each
mile-stone passed and each
holiday season finds us richer
in friends. We feel that every
reader of this column is a
friend. We wish we might!
grasp each one of you by the 1
hand and extend our good!
cheer.
So with this means, the
publishers wish you individual-!
ly a Happy and Prosperous!
New Year.
, And so the earth is losing
speed. Well, that sounds hope
ful. Perhaps it i3 on the up
grade.
The modern woman doesn’t
read the end of a novel first.
It isn’t necessary; they begin
kissing in the first chapter.
“Doesn’t' Joe ever get tired
of his wife’s continual sulki

“I think not. He says when
she’s good natured she sings.”
A man who graduates from
college is either a success or a
refined bum.
When a fellow calls you “a
regular Santa Claus,” don’t get
puffed up until you analyze
the proposition. Remember old
Santa is the fellow who claims
all* the credit for the work
somebody else does.
The nice thing about being a
man is you don’t have to stay
home after you wash your
head.
It may be that the mills of
the gods grind slowly because
they get paid for overtime.
Conscience makes cowards
