"Give the People
Light and They Will
Find Their Way”
Jf In thousands of American homes at this time of the
year there are candles in the windows. They light up the
darkness of night and to the passer-by they carry a message
of good cheer. For the candle is a symbol of Christmas,
of peace and good will to m :n.
Jf In thousands of American communities there is an
institution which throughout the year sheds its beam of
light. It is the Home Town Piper
Jf "Give the people light end they will find their way.”
Thus spoke a great philosopher. So the Home Town
Newspaper gives its people light—light on the news of
the community, light on those affairs which affect the
health, the happiness and the welfare of all its people,
light which dispels the darkness of ignorance, of prejudice
and of misunderstanding.
Jf And so at this time of the year, in extending to the
people of this community a holiday greeting, we pledge
to you that in the future, as in the past, we will keep the
light of that community institution, the Home Town
Newspaper, still shining clear.

THE NATIVITY
Jill
From the Gospel of St. Luke, Chapter 11. 1-20
1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the worid should be
taxed.
2. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was Gov
ernor of Syria).
3. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city
of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is
called Bethlehem; (because ho was of the house and lineage
of David,)
5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great
with child.
6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days
were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7. And she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; be
cause there was no room for them in the inn.
8. And there were in the same country shepherds abid
ing in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and
the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were
sore afraid.
10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold,
I bring you good titling* of great joy, which shall be to
all people. ->
11. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a
Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
12. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the
babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13. And suddenly there was
with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host praising
God, and saying.
14. Glory to God in the high
est, and on earth peace, good
will toward men.
15. And it came to pass, as
the angels were gone away
from them into heaven, the
shepherds said one to another.
Let us now go even unto Beth
lehem, and see this thing
which is come to pass, which
the Lord hath made known un
to us.
16. And they came with haste
and found Mary and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a mang-;
er.
17. And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad
the saying which was told
them concerning this child.
18. And all they that heard it j
wondered at those things
which were told them by the
shepherds.
19. But Mary kept all these
things, and pondered them in 1
her heart.
20. And the shepherds re
turned. glorifying and prais- i
ing God for all the things that j
they had heard and seen, asj
it was told unto them.

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
December 21, 1921
Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Shough
have built a good camp on the
B. C. Group on Georgia River
and Mr. Shough has started
two prospect tunnels. They
figure that by spring they can
have out a shipment of ore,
samples of which assay from
$70 to $256 per ton. The prop
erty is only one-fourth mile
from the beach, so there is no
transportation problem.
Monday morning power was
turned for the first time onto
the big aerial tramway that
connects Premier mine with
tidewater. Very slowly the 23
miles of traveling cable was
moved slowly at first, for al
though the acme of engineer
ing skill could proclaim that
the line had been correctly in
tailed, the human factor had
o be considered, and discre
tion dictated caution in trying
nit the costly equipment. How
ever, no fault has been found
'n construction or material and
no changes have been neces
•ary. It was a two day’s job
bringing the 250 buckets onto
he cable. Each bucket has a
capacity of 800 pounds, or a
;otal capacity for all buckets
if 100 tons. So when the first
bucket out from the upper
bunkers returns, the guaran
teed capacity of the tram, 100
ons, will have been delivered
at the lower bunkers. Those
who like figures can figure
3ut from the start how fast
the buckets will travel during
heir 23 mile trip.
Word was received from C.
T. Gardiner, Forest Supervisor
for Alaska, that the townsites
of Tenakee, Craig and Hyder
would be eliminated from the
Tongass national forest there
by permitting the residents to
apply for patent to their hold
ings undei the general town
"ite laws. At the present time
the lots are occupied under a
system of leases providing for
the payment of a nominal an
nual rental. To provide addit
ional homebuilding space at
Hyder, the Forest Service sub
divided an area adjacent to
ihe Lindeborg homestead into
208 lots.
Voting for the Queen of the
Pioneer Carnival has com
menced. The returns up to 10
o’clock last night were as fol
lows :
Elizabeth Baynton 575
Elizabeth Pitt 510
Donna Balch 425
Ila Young 255
However, the Stewart and
Premier mine returns were not
received in time for publica
tion and these are apt to make
an interesting change in the
race at any moment and the
finish of the contest will hold
thrills of excitement. A gold
nuggett chain to Ire presented
to the queen will be secured in
Ketchikan by Felix Seppi.
Since sleigh and tractor trans
poitation to the Premier mine
was resumed after the heavy
snow fall, concentrates have
been coming down steadily
and a large shipment is on the
wharf awaiting the arrival of
a steamer. Last Monday alone
100 tons were delivered at the
wharf.
Newt Iloguewood has pur
chased from Al. Blackburn and
is now occupying the residence
near Second and Main built in
1919 by Ole Olson.
Word of the death of Jack
Lockwood has been received
from Victoria. Lockwood came
to the district in 1915 and had
done considerable prospect
ing, principally up Bear River.
He left for Vancouver sever
al months ago to undergo an
operation. Nothing is known of
his antecedents. He was about
70 years of age.
