AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
COMMUNITY LOYALTY
Hove you ever stopped to
eon^;der the fact that loyalty
to community interests is
the h'^hest form of patriot
ism? Show us the man who is
loval and true to every inter
est of his own community and
w* w!,l show you in that same
individual a man in whom his
country can ’ report absolute
confidence in any emergency
that calls for his allegiance.
On the other hand, the man
who is careless and uncon
cerned for the interests of his
c^mmonity is most apt to dis
play the same spirit of indiff
erence toward his govern
ment or his state should any
serious danger threaten either.
Try to imagine an entire
st»te composed of innumer
able communities welded and
cemented into a symmetrical
whole, each striving to excel
the others, but each, from its
own local loyalty, developing
a broader and deeper loyalty
that reaches out and embraces
the whole.
This would be brought about
jf we could be brought to see
that we owe allegiance to our
own people, but that the pros
perity and success of others is
in no wise a detriment to us,
but rather a help, that if each
community would develop it
self to the utmost —material
ly, mentally and morally—
none would need be envious
of others, neither would any
need do aught to detract
from another’s interest.
Let us develop community
loyalty to the full—the high
est possible form of patriotism.

THE LOCAL MERCHANT
Why patronize the local mer
chant? The answer comes in
no uncertain terms; that mer
chant is dependent upon you,
but you are dependent upon
him. Stop and consider what
you would do without him,
and then measure his value to
you and your community in
terms of civic and economic
loss if he were to move from
our midst.
That local merchant lives in
Hyder; he buys what he can
here; his wife, is here if he
has one; also his children. He
had faith enough in this com
munity to settle here. If he
makes a mistake in a business
transaction in his favor he is
here to rectify it. If the quality
of his merchandise fails, he is
here to make it good. He trusts
you; he carries you along fi
nancially, charging no inter
est; he lays awake at night
studying how to bring his val
ues up and his prices down to
meet an honest and legitimate
competition, in order that he
may remain here and have a
just competence for himself
and his loved ones.
Think twice before you spend
your money out of town for
goods you can buy here where
every courtesy awaits you and
every opportunity for fair
dealing is available to you. Be
sides, you honestly owe this
much to your neighbors and
fellow townsmen, and they
owe their service to you.
Don’t let your money get so
far away from home. It has
every chance of coming back
to you if you do not give it too
much rope.
■--—o
Just remember that it doesn’t
get a dog much to growl.
-o—
A just man is just a man with
a sense of justice.
—-o
Getting on in the world usual
ly resolves itself into a matter
of getting up each time you are
knocked down.
“IN GOD WE TRUST”
“In God We Trust” first ap
peared on the copper 2-cent
issue of 1864 and was the first
use of the word “God” in any
government act. The phrase
was introduced by mint direct
or James Pollock with the ap
proval of the secretary of the
treasury, Salmon P. Chase. It
appeared in 1866 on a large
number of coins, including the
silver dollar, several gold coins
and small silver coins.
Some of the coinage of 1907
appeared without the custom^
ary legend, much criticism was
aroused and Congress, on May
18, 1908, passed the following
act, restoring the motto to the
coin:
“Be it enacted by the Senate
and House of Representatives
of the United States of Amer
ica in Congress assembled,that
the motto, “In God We Trust,”
heretofore inscribed on certain
denominations of the gold and
silver coins of tjhe United
States of America; shall here
after be inscribed upon all
gold and silver coins of said de
nominations as heretofore.”
A NORTHLAND TRAGEDY
The following is from the In
dependent Squawk, a paper
which is published without
provocation or reason, aboard
the Victoria on. her first trip
North:
It was in the summer of 1922
when Fairbanks rode Into
Nome on a White Horse. Here
he met Ruby, a beautiful
daughter of Nome. A whirl
wind courtship followed. He
had a Skagway about him and
was willing to Teller anything.
Juneau, he won her. They
were married by St. Michael at
Holy Cross. Now it is learned
that the wedding was a fake,
just a bluff. He has cast her
from his home clad only in an
East Cape. A Council was call
ed in Nome and the Marshall
is hot on his'trail. It is rumored
that the villain Fairbanks is
seeking Anchorage in Dime
Creek. Alaska law must act
with Hot Springs and play the
Ram part, Circle the Territory
if necessary with an Eagle
boat but put the fiend where
he will never leave another
beautiful daughter of the
Northland Flat.
SEARCH FOR METEOR
REWARDED IN ARIZONA
Prescott, Arizona— Mining
men who for months have been
drilling in the vicinity of Mete
or mountain, near Flagsftpff,
in this state, with the hopes of
reaching a giant meteor which,
in its fall from the heavens
centuries ago, is supposed to
havecaused a tremendous crat
er where the drills are located,
recently struck the surface of
the meteor at a depth of 1,403
feet, they declare, the surface
being so hard that the drill
was ground to pieces and the
derrick partly wrecked.
Legend and speculation, ro
mance and theory long have
been woven into the discuss
ions of Meteor mountain. Sci
entists have disputed over the
origin of the crater at its base,
where the drills are set, some
claiming the depression was
caused by the diagonal fall of
a huge meteor which gouged
the earth into a continuous
bank around the place where
it penetrated the ground;
while others assert as positive
ly that the whole thing was
caused by a blowout of gases.
Fragments of meteoric form
ation found around the crater,
however, throw weight toward
the first theory, and the fact
that platinum has been found
in these fragments lends speed
to the drilL-Moreover, it is Es
timated that more than one
and a half pounds of radium,
of a market value of $100,000
a gi'am, will be found in the
meteor.
Mining operations, it is said,
will be changed within a few
weeks, the drilling to be dis
continued and a tunnel to be
run to the meteor.
Meteor mountain is not, prop
erly, a mountain at all. It is
only 200 feet high and is a
huge bowl, 600 feet deep, the
bottom containing about forty
acres.

RARE MINERAL IS
FOUND IN CANADA
A recent Edmonton, Alberta,
dispatch reports that Iridium,
one of the most valuable min
erals in existence, has been
found in the upper reaches of
the Peace river by the Canyon
Gold Mining Company.
Iridium belongs to the'plat
inum family and is usually
found in association with that
metal in alluvial deposits. It
is a white metal and extremely
hard and is used mainly for
hardening other metals.
Just For Fun
Th$tr old gag about a man hid
ing behind a woman's skirts
may have been all right in the
old days, says Paddy Me Don
nell, but a man has to be a first
class magician to do it now
adays.
An exchange declares that
the one sure recipe for a long
life is not to die young.
Mortality' statistics lindicate

I has the right of way but it can

Farmer Corntossel’s son was
home after his first year in col
ledge and the old man was ex
plaining how well tjie hens
had been doing and the pro
spective increases in the flock.
“Fathaw,” said the young col
legian, “Which is correct; to
say that a hen sits or sets?”
“Well, son,” replied the old
man, “ I just kain’t exactly say.
“ But when a hen comes
off the nest an’ cackles an’ gets
tarnation busy at scratchin’
around, I ain’t much interested
in whether she sits or sets.
What I want to know is wheth
er she lays er lies.”
Oren Hill says it seems like
most of the society buds whose
pictures appear in the papers
must be demonstrating silk

Next to a fortune, says Max.
Priebe, the best thing a fellow
can get hold of nowadays is a
good, old fashioned wife who
will always keep the buttons
