KETCHIKAN AND HYDER
We learn with surprise that there
is an element in Ketchikan who
persist in knocking this town, not
realizing, poor short-sighted crea
tures, that the prosperity of Hyder
will have a vitally stimulating eff
ect upon the growth and prosperity
of Ketchikan. Business interests
pf the two places are co-ordinate;
prosperity to one means prosperity
to the other. Ketchikan knocking
Hyder is like two partners in a
store knocking each other, to the
detriment of the business.
Sourdoughs arriving here state
that they were told in Ketchikan
not to come to Hyder, that they
would certainly leave in disgust.
They say that many took thi6 ad
vice and continued to the outside.
Does Ketchikan expect to ever see
another dollar of those sent south
from that town? Alaskans' who
came here to see for themselves
could not now be driven away with
a Methodist axe, their money will
stay in the country, and Ketchikan
will get part of it.
However, mere is at least one
man in that town whose letter, re
ceived recently, shows him to be a
man of sound judgement and dis
cernment. He is Dr. N, R. Walker,
mid this is what be writes in part:
"You have the right idea
about knocliere. My experience
has taught me that if you do
not go down on your knees
and nay homage to a few visit
ing upstarts—important only
in their own minds—they go
away knocking*
11 believe the town of Hyder
has an unusually bright future
and due to its geographical lo
cation will also be a great ben
efit to our community.”
Dr. Walker has personally in
vestigated conditions in Hyder and
knows what he is writing about.
DID HE CATCH COLD?
"The bridegroom wore a most
beatific expression and was ably
Supported by Dr. Jack Conway as
best man.”—McCarthy News.
At various times we have heard
discussions as to which is the long
est bridge in the world. We are
perfectly willing to leave it to any
one who has mushed from Hyder
to Stewart in the winter if the bridge
from the Stewart wharf to the town
of Stewart cannot lay claim to this
distinction.
