HYDER, ALASKA, June 81. 1928
TWO FORTUNATE TOWNS j
Newcomer* to the camp invar
iably comment upon what a pity
that Stewart and Hyder are not
combined into one town. Then the
chechacos are firmly but gently
informed that one of the thing*
that makes life in this neck of the
woods a perpetual joy is the fact
that there are two towns here, far
enough separated to keep from
treading on each others' corns and
close enough together for easy com
munication and the observance of
those social amenities that serve
to bind the two towns together
with the ties of friendship. With
out Stewart, where would we go
hopping? And without Hyder, how
would Stewart folks find someone
to visit? The manner in which
Hyder residents patronized the
dance held last week in the Ocean
View in support of the Stewart hos
pital, and the way our Canadian
cousins turned out last Sunday to
root for the Hyder baseball team
in the games against Ketchikan,
provided a fitting illustration of the
existing inclination of both towns
to pull together for their mutual
advantage.
SOUNDS REASONABLE
We can't undeistand why they
are making so much fuss down at
Ketchikan over the appointment of
a Democratic editor to a place un
der the federal government. If
Democrats are to hold most of the
appointive offices in Alaska under
the present administration we
would be rather glad to see an oc
casional editor slip in. If he is a
pronounced Democrat he is en*
titled to greater consideration and
respect than the Bi-partizan who
can be anything that the position
requires.—Juneau Capital.
WHAT’S A GUN GOAT?
Fish trap piracy has already
started it* Southeastern Alaska,
notwithstanding the threatened gun
goats that are to mow down the
pirates.—Juneau Capital.
If everyone patronized fhe Miner
as well as a certain puppy of the
town, life would be one rosy dream.
Every day that faithful little K-9
brings in a bone and leaves it for
the editor.
When the moderation act passed
in British Columbia the New York
Herald sent the Vancouver Province
an epic telegram that we have
never seen in print and just learned
about, it read: “Congratulations.
We are shipping you the Statue of
Liberty."

Today is the longest day of the
year. Tompiorrow summer com
mences and the days grow shorter.
Soon we will have snow again, so
therefore, brothers, it behooves us
all to commence thinking about
that woodpile and salt down an oc
