THE FORT SUMPTER GUN
Secretary Howard of the Hyder
Commercial Association reports
receiving an increasing number of
inquiries from outside points re
garding Hyder, its business possi
bilities, procurable locations and
property values.
A growing interest is being evin
ced and fostered throughout the
country; transportation companies
are routing their ships via Hyder;
personally conducted tours are
being advertised with Hyder the
Alaskan point of attraction. Let
us not( then, assume an attitude
of inactivity and hope for the best,
but let us get together and put
forth an effort to gain the publi
city and popularity with investors
and the travelling public to which
we are entitled, and the fruits of
which should be ours to enjoy.
Among inquiries received comes
one commission from an institu
tion the entry of which into Hyder
will mean more to us than the es
tablishment of any other one en
lerprize which we may hope soon
to entertain. Options for this pro
ject have been secured on four dif
ferent pieces of property each 100
xlOO feet in extent, on the chosen
ooe of which a fifteen thousand
dollar structure will rise in the
spring. In taking these options no
one section of Hyder has been fav
ored, the choice being left to the
purchasers.
The Hyder Com.ne cial Associa
tion is open to ail and an increased
j membership is earnestly desired.
! Every member of the community
i is invited to become a participant
| in its activities from this day for
ward in the interest of a unified
community Let the lines of de
markation on the map be over
looked; let private interest be lost
I sight of in public service; let all
work together for the good of Hy
der, in harmony, one for all and
all for—one Hyder.
The days are growing perceptibly
longer. Soon we wiii be able to
say that the peak of the winter is
passed—and we ha\e hardly had
any winter as yet. There ii is been
no let-up in the mining activities
of the district, in fact a number of
new projects are on the way, sev
eral of which are already begun
The coming season promises great r
development than all the years oi
the past combined. lhcse of us
: whose faith in the camp has never
wavered, who have refused to be
lured away by the mythical green

' faith, So cheer up—thje worst is
over.
