HYDER, ALASKA, Nov. 10, 1020
THE B. C. ELECTION
Excuse for a Hyder paper pre
suming to have anything to say
concerning the B. C. election can be
found in the fact that the interests
of Hyder and Stewart are so close
ly allied through both being dis
tributing centres for a mineral area
which refuses to be defined by an
arbitrary boundary line laid by hu
man agencies, but spreads over
both sides of the International
mark. Both Hyder and Stewart
hope for the election of a candi
date who will work night and dhy,
heart and soul, for the good of the
mining industry.
With three Stewart candidates in
the field, it is hard to inake.a choice
Pity Is. that all three cannot be
sent to Victoria. No one in the
district but believes that each has
the welfare of the district at heart,
W. C. Ross, attorney, of Stewart,
is a young man of exceptional abli
tv who has grown up in an atnu^
phere of governmental affairs, his
father having been for a number of
years in the legislature and most of
the time a member of the cabinet.
0. B. Bush does not claim to be
n politician but a man of business
who knows the needs of the dis
trict and how to secure beneficial
legislation. He has been success
ful in the district, his name being
associated with some of the best
known properties of the Salmon
basin.
Pat Daly who ;S running on an
Independent Labor ticket has been
a hard worker wno has also used
brains in interesting capital in the
district's development. Pat L.s had
a long and useful carreer in B. C.
and would make a good represen
tative. His ability is undoubted,
his arguments always carry fluency
and force, and his faith in the dis
trict cannot be questioned. The
worst tin t can be said of him by
his opponent.; - mat he has always
been "one of the ilys,” an
at the polls are apt to sho ■ unit
this is an asset instead of a detri
ment to securing votes. He has had
charge of many camps and his re
cord is that he always conducted
them in a manner to obtain the
greatest measure of efficiency.
The Petersburg Report has in
stalled a Merganthaler linotype ma
chine and increased the size of the
publication from four to six pages.
'< Report is a paper with which
re a ’ nts of Petersburg nd vicin
ity .ay well feel aatisfk !.
