A year has passed since the pres,
ent management of the News took the
helm. Today the paper also starts on
its seventh year.
During the past fifty-two weeks it
has been our lot to witness and chron
icle the joys and sorrows of the com
munity, and we have noticed that the
joy far outweighed the sorrow. The same
thing applies to the different business
enterprises in and around the town,
there have been no howling successes
made, but on the other hand there are
not any failures to note.
Despite the low price of copDer and
a high production cost, the Green
Butte is working a full crew of men
and rushing work to a point where an
Other active copper mine can be added
to the list of producers in the district
From present indications, it would seem
that the Westover is about to be prop
erly managed and developed into a pay
>ng proposition. There is also likely to
be a good hydraulic mine emyloying a
force of men in another year or so.
This means progress and progress is
prosperity. A fellow came in the other
day and paid us a dollar he owed us for
six months and we felt so prosperous
we shipped our towel to the laundry
instead of washing it ourselves, like we
did the other two times. To us, this
Spells progress with a capital P.
McCarhthy’s progress is slow an d
steady, not at all meoteric or dazzling,
but of a nature that will never mean
retrogression as did the boom period
during and immeidately after the Shu
shanna stampede. T he highest grade
copper mines in America are four
miles away, the most important hy
draulic mining district in Alaska, accor
ding to the Geological Survey, lies 20
miles in another direction, while miles
and miles of land suitable for cultiva
tion extend down the valley.
It seems that the district offers a
good chance for any energetic person
who wishes to get ahead.
Tomorrow is the eleventh of Novem
ber, —Armistice Day
The day brings to mind the princi
pals and ideals for which America has
| fought and bled. The nation is wi]
ling to fight for its ideals, but when we
start living up to them we make an
awful fizzle. Man in the aboriginal is
a mighty independent critter. If this par
ticular trait had not been the failing of
the Indian we would still be winning:
the west. The red man would stick to !
his clan,thus preventing,except in a few
instances, concentrated action by the
leaders. The Indian today is on a res.
evation.
In a small or large town the spirit
of Cooperation must predominate to
obtain true prosperity, patriotism or
the fundementals of Christianity.
