dealt with at considerable

Two Stewartites, Homer Fick
lin and Pat. McBride, both
well known old timers, are
making preparations to leave
Tuesday for the new placer
strike in the Dease Lake coun
!try. But, unlike the majority of
those who have joined the
stampede from this locality,
they do not contemplate trav
eling iii luxury via the steam
boat and auto route*. Instead
[being real pioneers, they will
follow the old pioneer method
I of “hitting the trail.” With
pack on back and prepared to
live to a great extent “off the
jcountry,” the pair will head
up Bear river, cross the divide
.to Telegraph Creek, which is
j about seventy miles from the
strike, and thence up the Stik
ine to where the direct trail to
the £trike is encountered. As
the distance across country is
much shorter than to Wrangell
and thence up the Stikine, they
expect to reach the scene as
soon or sooner than by the
Wrangell route.

The Chamber ^Commerce
committee in, charge of the
task of devising ways and
means for securing additional
means of protection from'fire
anounced Saturday that a big
benefit dance has been decid
ed upon as the best method
for raising the required fund
and Saturday Oct. 4 has been
selected as the date for hold
ing the event, which will take
place in Pioneer Hall. Every
thing will be donated, so that
the entire proceeds may be de
voted Jx> purchasing the much
needed fire equipment. The
program will include a fine
supper and music will be furn
ished by C. M. Ridley, Victor
Durand and other musicians.
The price of admission has
been fixed‘at $2.00 for gentle
men, which will include sup
pey. Ladies will be admitted
free. The committee requests,
however, that all ladies donate
a cake to add to the supper
menu and in that manner lend
their assistance to the good
cause. The committee in charge
includes Walter Blanton, John
Hovland and Edgar Provinse.
The people of Hyder have
never had an opportunity to
participate in a more vital and
necessary movement than is
represented in this effort to
secure better fire protection
for the town. Fire is an ever
present menace to everyone
and can be guarded against
only by watchfulness com
bined with effective means for
combatting its ravages. Owing
to the absence of a water sys
tem, reliance must be placed
in adequate chemical apparat
us nnd the funds raised will bp
devoted to that purpose. The
danger of fire is everyone's
danger and everyone should
contribute toward helping to
remove it as far as may be
done.
Let everyone who is able to
do so lend a helping hand in
making the tqwn as safe from
fire as possible.
The Moose held a business
meeting Thursday, after whieh
it was announced by Secretary
Earl Hinckley that preparat
ions for the big Moosehenr*
Day Celebration on Oct. 27,
are practically completed and
one sure enough good time is
in store for those attending.
