HYDER, ALASKA, Aug. 16. 1922
THE GOVERNOR’S VISIT
Hyder has been trying for a
long time—at least the Hyder
Commercial Association has bean
trying for a long time—to induce
Governor Scott C. Bone to come to
Hyder and learn for himself the
conditions here.
Well, he oame last Saturday, un
announced, accompanied by Thos.
M. Reed, District Judge, who has
already appointed two Democrats
as commissioners in his, the First
Division, and Arthur Shoup. the
district attorney, who put a stop to
one of the greatest improvements
to the original business section of
Hyder that was ever instigated by
private enterprise.
The* party came here on the
Unalga, which is a government
ship, assigned to Alaskan waters
for the suppression of various
evils, including fish piracy and
liquor smuggling.
The Unalga must lie a long time1
ashore, because from her crew is j
organized a baseball team that]
took the measure of the Hyder and
Stewart teams combined. The
practice necessary to enable them
to accomplish this could not be
secured aboard ship.
Platitudes--platitudes-platitude6.
Everyone in Hyder and a number
of Stewart people attended the
public meeting Saturday evening
and they didn't hear anything
about what they wanted to hear
about.
Governor Bone says that the en
thusiasm of our residents is infec
tious and that he wants to come
back as soon as his official duties
will let him away, and get better
acquaihted.
We wish he would get better ac
quainted. In vulgar parlance, he
“got the wrong steer" on his first
visit.
An educational wave has been
started by the newspapers to assist
their readers in giving words of the
I English language their correct pro
nounciations. Most of the words
cited are long-ones and used only
once in awhile. The Miner believes
that more attention should be paid
to the teeney-weeney words. For
instance, “but” is pronounced
“b-H-t.” We have heard it called
“men” and "mon," and one citizen,
who is not with us any more, even
called it “aber.” “The” is pronoun
ced "t-h-e.” with the accent on the
I
whole syllable, and not “da” or “de; ’
“man" is pronounced wiih the “a"
flat and long-drawn-out through
the node. Some of our residents
/ja|l 4 •■pppi" ttoe sajne resident*
also have a f/jndency to ring in al}
“r’s” in “girl" that thpy pap
jenjwd together The word' “girl"
contains only ppp as a eyeful
•tMdy qf tfqqh Webster's well
knqwp poyel will disclose. These
#re only a few instances, but they
will serve to illustrate what we are
driving at,
NOTICE TO PAY SCHOOL TAX
