How Many Souls?
Prof. Frederieh II. Sears,
eminent astronomer of Mt.
Wilson observatory, has been
making some interesting es
timates concerning the inhab
itants of the universe, which
run into big figures.
First, he notes that there are
about 30 billion suns, many of
them immensely larger than
our own, each of which may
have at least one world spin
ning around it, while many
may have several.
The earth has an estimated
population of about two bil
lion people, so if each of these
suns has only one inhabited
planet and these planets aver
age as many inhabitants as the
earth, it would mean that there
are 60 quintillions of living
people.
To write this down you have
only to put down a 6 with 19
ciphers after it.
This estimate, or guess, as
sumes only the possible num
ber of people inhabitating the
now visible universe. How
many more suns there may be
no one knows, and it is not
likely that a telescope will
ever be made powerful enough
to discover them all.
But taking the estimate as
it stands, it refers to people
now living. The number that
have lived and died, and those
who are yet to live and die, is
left entirey to the imagina
tion. Supposing that all have
or will have immortal souls, it
appears that there is little
likelihood of anyone’s getting
lonesome in the hereafter,
whatever his destination.

Origin 3f the Gold Standard
Fiom the Mining Congress"'
Journal
Silver as a commodity never
did have any large value. Jhe
same thing may be said of !'
gold.
The public mind is accustom-!
ed to think of gold having in
trinsic value. This is an ur.- |
mistakable fallacy. The value '
of gold depends upon its ac
ceptance by governments and
by common public consent. 1
The value of silver for many!
years rested upon the same
basis.
At a time when the business 1
transactions of the world were
but a fraction of present day j
operations, at a time when in
public affairs might made ;
right, at a time when civiliza-j1
lion was emerging from the
feudal system under which *
a few people owned most of ‘
the property and where the
great majority of people were
either tenants or debtors, the i *
establishment of the single;'
gold standard was made to!
serve accumulated wealth by
making the debter perform ;
more of labor or produce more
of goods with which to pay j
his obligation.

RESTRICT STOCK
MARKET GAMBLING j

ket, the Tia Juana race track,
in a Chicago gambling joint or
by the little fellows who risk
I their nickels and dimes on

Calling it stock speculation j (
doesn’t make it anything more (
or less than gambling.!

r ire suffering from the after ef
i fects of that wild gambling de
, bauch, which caused more; ]
j damage to the nation in a few i
j months than all of the race ! 1
track and other kinds of gam- j ]
bling does in a lifetime. So it1 <
s vastly more important that
rambling on the stock market
>e restricted, than it is to pass
aws trying to stop other forms
if gambling. No gambling
hould be unrestrained that has
uch a widespread vicious in
luence on the prosperity and
tappiness of a whole people.—

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
May 25, 1921
By a vote of 121 to 22, taken
at a meeting, the men who are
out on strike from the Pre
mier and tramline decided to
remain out.
A proposition made to gen
eral manager Pitt for a wage
ea'le on which they were will
ing to go back to work was re
jected, Mr. Pitt standing by
the original cut made at the
mine, which leaves the wages
higher than are paid in other
mining camps at the present
time.
An agitation is on foot foi
the establishment of a hospital
in Hyder. A meeting was held
in Pioneer Hall Friday even
ing, with E. R. Stivers presid
ing , W. S. Orr as secretary.
The meeting was addressed
by Dr. W. D’Arcy Chace, whc
has had a wide experience
with hospitals, in the north
and also by other citizens. A
committee consisting of Orer
F. Hill, Mrs. P. R. Bachus, D
W. McLeman, A. Frazer and
VV. 3. Orr was appointed tc
canvass the town and devise
ways and means for the con
struction and maintenance of s
hospital and report at a meet
ing to be held later.
Marius Pederson and Alberi
Johnson, who are working or
their Bayview group 18 miles
down the canal, came up this
week for supplies and said
work so far done has shown
ore even beyond their expec
tations.
A deal of considerable im
portance has just been put
through in New York by Pat
Daly, he having interested
capital in the group of seven
claims on the Marmot owned
by Wm. Frazer. The property
has been taken over on a long
time bond, with substantial
cash payment down.
Paddy McDonnell is prepar
ing to reopen the roadhouse at
American creek, 14 miles up
the Bear river from Stewart.
W. L. Baleh has sowed the
first lawn in Hyder, using a
grass seed mixture he secured
in Seattle.
A clay tennis court has been
constructed near the residence
of J. A. Hall and we may soon
expect tournaments between
the Hyder and Stewart tennis
experts.
Hyder’s first ship launching
will take place soon. Dr.
Hawes cruiser, which was
built up in the woods handy
to timber, was hauled down
to the water front Sunday by
tractor power and when the
engine is installed will be in
troduced to the waters of Port
land Ganal. Verily, the camp
progresses.
The picture show put on in
Pioneer Hall Sunday by E. E.
Coffyn delighted more than
100 people.
