AN INDEPENDENT NEW9PAPIR
The suggestion made last
week, by C. L. Hibbard of Se
attle, that the Hyder district,
with its beautiful wooded val
leys, towering mountains and
vast glaciers, can be made a
great resort for the tourists
who annually eome to the
Pacific Northwest and Alaska,
is worthy of the closest attent
ion by those who are interests
ed in furthering the develop
ment of this section. Mr. Hib
bard’s view is by no means a
fantastic and unrealizable con
ception. Rather it is a proph
ecy that the future years will
bring to actual realization in
the natural progress of events.
The Hyder district unquestion
ably possesses a scenic grand
eur that is found in but few
places on earth. With that
wonderful waterway, the Port
land Canal as its entrance,
it combines the fiords of Nor- i
way and the mountains and!
glaciers of Switzerland in one!
vast panorama of scenic won-j
ders that is not excelled by,
anything the Old World has!
to offer. Pew of Norway's
famous fiords but are dwarfed I
almost to the point of insignifi- j
cance by the 90-mile reaches {
of Portland Canal, flanked by j
towering peaks rising steeplyj
from the sea along its entire
length; scarcely one of the
much vaunted glaciers of Swit
zerland that would not appear
small beside the Salmon and
Chickamin glaciers and a half
dozen other mighty frozen riv
ers, all of which can be seen
from a single vantage point
Combined with these are syl
van valleys, where wild flow
ers bloom in gorgeous profus
ion among serried ranks of
stately spruce and fragrant
cedar and a summer climate
filled with balmy, sunshiny
days from early spring to fall.
Thousands of travellers journ
ey annually to Europe to. en
joy far fewer scenic beauties
than Hyder has to - show to
him who cares to make the in
expensive two day journey
from Seattle or Vancouver.
Being thus situated in one of
Nature’s wonderland’s, there is
no question of the verity of
Mr. Hibbard’s declaration that
this district can be madtf a
great tourist resort by judici
0U8 advertising and the instal
lation of proper hotel accom
modations. While the acquisit
ion of the last appears a rather
sizable undertaking for a small
community such as ours to
tackle, it can be accomplished.
As suggested by Mr. Hibbard,
the transportation companies
can be relied upon to help such
a project and others can be
induced to take a financial
interest in what would un
questionably be a lucrative en
terprise. The principal thing
for us to do is to tackle the
job of getting some one in
terested and keep everlasting
ly at it until we do. In addition
to the lucrative trade such a
traffic represents, an influx of
tourists would undoubtedly
bring many people of means
who would become interested
in local mineral development.
This is something worth striv
ing for.

It's not the idle rich but the j
idle young that is raising the i
devil with the country. Oh ev- j
ery hand we see young people
shying from work and trying
to get by without it. It scarcely
ever wins. Too much pamper
ing and too little enforcement
of' discipline by parents is
largely to blame for the pres
ent overflowing of jails, re
formatories and penetentiaries.
A child not brought up to
work and obey his parents
will very likely sneer at the
law when he gets out into the
world for himself. If you have
a child and would make him
[a good citizen, teach him to
work and make him obey.
-:---o
If you live and do business
in a town for heaven’s sake be
loyal to 4. If this town furn
ishes you with food and shel
ter, boost it; speak well of it;
stand by it, and stand by the
industries- it represents. If put
to a pinch, an ounce of loyal
ty is worth a ton of clever
knocking. If you must villify,
condemn and eternally dis
parage, pack your trunk and
get out, and when you are on
the outside, knoek to your
heart’s content. But as long as
you are a part of a community,
be a real man; do not con
demn it. If you do you are
loosening the tendrils that hold
you as a part of the community
and when the first high wind
comes along you will be up
rooted and blown far away;
and probably you will never
know why.

I should say so. Some girls

“Before I take your case,”

“Oh, please don’t do that,”

anything else that’s disagree
