AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The world series this year|
provided an Unusually striking |
example of the importance of
doing anything for all there
is in it and not giving up even
in the face of great odds. At
the end of the fourth game
the score was three won for
Washington and one for Pitts
burgh and the game was on
the Washington grounds. The
Pirates had to capture three
straight games while the Sena
tors needed only one to win the
series ahd'the world’s champ
ionship/- The outlook for the
Pennsylvania team was not
bright but that was no dis
couragement. The odds were
big but.. Pittsburgh fought its
way to victory in one of the
most thrilling series of games
in the history of baseball. And
it was not luck. The teams
were unusually evenly match
ed and neither was favored by
exceptional luck.
The Pittsburgh victory was
simply the.result of sticking to
the job fend refusing to be dis
couraged at the odds. Therein
is a lesson for certain local ele
ments who can see no good In
the efforts of the Chamber of;
Commerce to help the camp to
a greater state of prosperity
and advancement. Also for
that other' unwholesome ele-:
menf Which persists in foment- j
ing discords to the camp’s det
riment and injury for the mere
satisfaction of personal spites
and prejudices, or to pander
fo ;the demands of over-inflav
c*d egotism. It is hard to say
which is4 the worst of the two,
the knockers, or the trouble
makers. Both are equally det
rimental to the welfare of the
community and the develop
ment of the district.
The “house divided against
itself is bound to fall,” is as
true today as in that distant
time when the phrase was ut
tered. How different things
might be if there was a little
of the spirit which gave Pitts
burgh their momentous vic
tory-just getting on the job
and doing for all there is in
it for the camp and its people
foe crowth and prosperity and
mutual benefit! for all.
| The most encouraging feat-1
I ure of the present situation of j
Hyder is the continuing j
growth-withouf the objection
able features of booming. No !
boom ever left a town bettei !
off; the reverse is usually the !
result. ' "*-•
A good location, a firm foun- •
dation, careful building, brick
by brick, atone by stone-these
are the essentials if a perma
nnt structure is to be the result
of the builders’ efforts. Hydet
has .the lection; it has. the
firm, foundation. Back of hei
is a great storehouse of min
eral wealth that time is prov-;
ing to be well nigh inexhaust
ible.
That-the town wil'grow larg- j
j er and more - prosperous as
time goes on there is no doubt,
j That growth is more apparent
! every year. It is going on slow
| ly, to be sure, but each year
sees a substantial increase.
New buildings are constructed;
new businesses are establish- i
ed and the older ones expand
ed. “Brick by brick, stone b>
stone,” we are going forward.
That is the way it should be to
j be permanent.
o
I We have seen a lot of things
i in our day, but we have seen
j mighty few'people who art
profiting much from their mis
takes.
What-this country .needs isn’t
a lower rate of interest on mon

If people confined themselves
to necessities and enjoyed only
the pleasures they actually
could afford 99 per cent of
the mortgage loan companies
would shut up shop.

A Los Angeles moving picture
actress was robbed by a burg
lar who is said to have taken
eight wedding rings. She re
ports, however, that the ma

Just For Fun
The Blueberry Kid defines an
old maid as a woman with
long hair, wearing black
stockings and carrying a white
handkerchief.
Anyone can give advice but
only the wise ones sell it.
Pete Wilson says the cork
screw is mute evidence that the
day of the pull has passed.
Tenant-You’ll have to make
that woman upstairs stop sing
ing or reduce my rent.
Landlord-That’s all right. I’ll
fix it. It’s just a matter of rais
ing her rent and then she won’t
feel like singing.
The reason some men don’t
j hold their wives’ hands after
; marriage is because it is al-1
; most impossible to hold hands j
I when you are under its thumb.
If bowlegs and knock knees
can’t make girls wear long
skirts, there isn’t any use 011
prudish reformers wasting
their time trying to make them.

“Why do writers always say,
! 'A blush crept across the girl’s
.face’?”

sure would kick up an awful
dust.”
“Know thy cell” was the

“What’s her number?”
A local man came down to
work late the other day and
offered this explanation:
"The alarm clock rang all
right but we decided it was
the wrong number.”
Too darned many uplifters

Yoti can’t see lots of jokes
fop the whiskers on them.
For the benefit of some of
our would-be wise Mike’s, we
venture the view that oppor
tunity doesn’t knock around
with other knockers.
The reason why so many of
the great men of the past did
not become famous until after
they were dead, is that they
had no publicity managers.
i
We know of a bimbo who is
off advertising for life. He
only advertised once and that
was for a wife and he got an
awful stinging.
"Well, I’ll be hanged,” mur
mured the telephone receiver
as it was slammed upon the
hooks by the irate lady.
A wife may surpass her hus
band in many things, but
when it comes to growing old
she simply can’t keep up with
him and he’ll have three birth
days to her one every time.
There isn’t much difference
between morals and custom.
There are places where it
would be considered shocking
for a man to appear without
a coat and wearing suspenders
while ther are other sections
of the globe where it is con
sidered perfectly proper for
women to go around wearing
nothing much but a pleasant
smile or a string of beads.

Reliable Information
Relative To
PORTLAND CANAL
MINING DISTRICT
LIXIVIATION
Lixiviation processes are em
ployed successfully in the
treatment of certain copper
and zinc ores by the use of sol
vents such as sulphuric, hy
drochloric, -and sulphurous
acid, and by air oxidation.
Ores suitable for direct treat
ment are oxides or carbonates.
Sulphide ores after being
roasted with or without salt,
will yield a satisfactory ex
traction under proper condit
ions. Ores suitable for such
processes must not contain
acid-consuming carbonates or
oxides of lime, magnesia, alum
ina and iron, etc. Precipitation
of metals from the acid solut
ions is usually effected by elec
trolysis, but in the case of cop
per bearing solutions, scrap
iron is at times used.
Gravity Concentration
Gravity concentration de
pends upon the difference in
specific gravity (weight) of
the several materials making
up Jhe ore. Heavier minerals

are separated from lighter
ones, or from quartz or other
worthless gangue rock, iri the
same way that gold is separat
ed from sand and gravel in the'
miner’s gold pan. Sluice boxes,
jigs, concentration tables and
vanners are employed for this
purpose, the equipment and
methods used depending upon
the character ofsthe ore.
