Welcome to Cur Visitors
Today the residents of Hyd
er, Alaska, and Stewart and
Premier, British Columbia, j
will present for the interest
and pleasure of numerous vis
itors from afar and for their
own citizens the Alaska-Brit
ish Columbia International
Celebration.
The Celebration will contin
ue three days and will be in
many respects the most im- I
portant public event ever held
in this section of the great
Northland. The object is pri
marily to make known to the'
world the resources and char
acteristics of the Portland Can- [
al district and particularly the
mineral wealth of this but
little exploited area.
It is also intended to pro
vide an outstanding illustra- i
tion of that confraternity of
races existing between the peo
ple of the United States and
those of Canada, and of that
attitude of peace and friend
rhip and close association ex
istent between the residents of
those great nations.
The long-maintained boast of
both countries that their 2,000
miles of mutual border line is
without fort or other instru
ment of national defense pos
sesses no finer illustration
than is provided here. Between
the peoples of this district,f
Alaskan and Canadian, there
exists scarcely a thought of
boundaries or political divis
ions, save for official purposes,
and concord and amity and an
attitude of mutual helpfulness ,
form the keynote of their soc- j
ial and business intercourse.
It is this attitude and spirit
that has made possible the
Alaska-British Columbian In-'
ter national Celebration, to,
which we bid you hearty wel-;
come and the ultimate of en
joyment of the many and var- ■
ied attractions that have been
provided for your amusement. *
Wherever you go during
your stay you will find the
latchstring out and North
ern hospitality at your service.
We of Alaska and Northern
British Columbia have much of
interest to show to visitors and
there is much to be learned
about this last great frontier
of the North American con-1
tinent. It is the great wish of
our people that you who visit
us may become acquainted 1
with our great Northern coun
try and its potentialities and
realize that here and in other ;
sections of Alaska and North
ern British Columbia lies a
vast empire, with room and op
portunity for many thousands.
Too Much Meddling
Thoughtful citizens, regard
less of political affiliations, are
beginning to sense the menace,
presented by the growth of
government departments, bur
eaus, boards, commissions and t
other agencies for the regu- j
ion of every detail of our daily '
lives.
This menace is two-fold. It
menaces our liberties and it
menaces our material welfare
through forcing us to support
an army of useless officials.
Every new law which is sug
gested by the professional re
former and busybody is de
igned to add to this army of
political job holders. The bur
ien is becoming intolerable.
This is particularly true in
business and industrial life, in
vvhich the harassment of rep
utable citizens at the whims of
politicians has about reached
he limits of endurance.
Speaking to the American
3ar Association on this sub
ect some time ago, Mr. Just
ce Sutherland of the United
States Supreme Court said:
“Never before have the busi
ness activities of the people
been so beset and bedeviled
;
I
1
with vexatious status, riving
commissions and government
intermeddling.
Judge Johnson of Idaho ob
serves that “the appetite for
minding other peoples’s busi
ness grows by what it feeds on,
and the result is a swarm of
agents, inspectors, detectives
and nosy Meddling Matters
going about worrying and bull
dozing the people.”
Still the busybodies are clam
oring for more laws, more bur
eaus and more investigations,
because these mean more po
litical jobholders to be support
ed at the expense of the tax
payers.
Just for Fun
--o
Not Good Finance
A famous financier was tak
en ill at the age of 90 and felt
that his end was near.
“Nonsense,” said the doctor,
“the Lord isn’t going to take
you until you have passed the
100 ma'rk.”
“No, my friend,” said the
aged banker, “that wouldn’t
be good finance. Why should
the Lord wait ’til I reached
par when He could pick me
up at 90?”—Argonaut.
Elderly Lady: “I would like a
package of cigarettes. They
are for my daughter. Please,
may I have a brand endorsed
by quiet, respectable people
who are not stage stars.”
Little Lucie: “Auntie, why
do you put powder on your
face?”
Auntie: “To make me pretty
dear.”
Lucie: “Then why doesn’t
it?”
“What was the name of the i
last station we stopped at, ■
mother?”
“I don’t know. Don’t bother :
me. I’m reading a story.”
“It’s too bad you don't"
know the name, mother, be
cause little brother got off
there.”
Installment Collector: “Set
here, you’re seven payments
behind on your piano.”
Kenny: “Well, the company1
advertises ‘Pay as You Play’.” ■
“What’s that got to do with 1
it?”
“I play very poorly.”
Piofessor: “Give me some of!
that prepared monoaceticaides- j
ter of salicyic acid.”
Druggist: “Do you mean j
aspirin?”
Piofessor: “Yes! I can never
think of that name.
—
Sol: “Waal, Zeke, what kind i
o’ time did ya have in the!
city?”
Zeke: “Oh, that durn old I
daylight savin’.”

cial statement of the Bank ot

last published statement shows
that the Bank has made a
steady and substantial growth,
conclusive evidence that the i
residents of this locality ap
preciate the benefits of hav
ing such a financial institution
