Ns Financial Panic
In spite of the general eco
nomic breakdown of the pasi
two years, there has been nc
semblance of a financial panic
such as occurred in 1907 anti
in other years of depression
according to C. R. Stephenson
president of the America!
Bankers Association.
Formerly a marked recessioi
of business resulted in monej
panics, suspension of specit
payments and kindred disast
ers. None of these elements ol
a real financial panic has beet
seen during the present de
pression. The banking struc
ture as a w-hile has not beei
shaken, in spite of many fail
ures of small banks. At al
times the banking and credii
machinery have been able tc
extend support to business ant
manufacturing.
Mr. Stephenson declares tha
banking and corporate financt
in this period of depression art
unflinchingly taking their por
tions of the short rations tha
the nation’s need for readjust
inent demands. Interest rates
security yields and corporatioi
dividends have all dropped tf
levels that constitute drastic
reductions in the compensat
ion of capital.
The greatest public problen
today is unemployment, h<
says, adding that unemploy
ment is the worst wage cu
that the worker can suffer, ant
the worst cause of busines:
stagnation. His conclusion i
this:
“The sooner we can get ou
masses of workers back t<
work on almost any terms thi
better it will be for both cap
ital and labor.’’

“We Want Air Mail”
(From the Juneau Empire)
Mr. McDermond of the Pan
American Airways expressed
surprise at the Chamber of
Commerce meeting that there
is no airmail service between
Seattle and Juneau. Well he
might be surprised, for, as he
said, Alaska needs that sort of
service and ought to have it.
Mr. McDermond comes from
South America where the
United States is supporting
aii mail service. Cuba, Hayti,
Porto Rico, the Canal Zone.
Jamaica, Trinidad and all the
Caribbean Sea countries are
supplied with airmail by the
United States. Why should
Alaska that needs it equally a?
much not have it? The cost ot
airmail service between Seattle
and Southeast Alaska would
be very small matter compar
able with that in the Caribbean
Sea region.
The circumstance that the
Alaska-Washington Airways,
having excellent equipment
and a personnel second to none
anywhere, is amply prepared
to carry mail summer and
winter between Seattle and
Southeast Alaska, where the
company is rendering excellent
commercial service, makes the
failure to award an airmail
contract particularly unfath
omable. If the Alaska-Wash
ington Airways, that has giver
i the people three years of ef
1 j ficient work, were given a mai
‘! contract it would be able tc
operate planes on regulat
schedule and be of far great
' er benefit to the country tha$
* it is now.
A good Southeast Alaske
! slogan would be: “We Warn
! Air Mail!”
--o
Value of Good Will
One of the striking develop
ments of recent years in th<
business world is the increasec
value which individuals anc
- corporations place upon th<
good will of the public they
serve.
Good will is really only
another name for confidence,
for if a business concern has
the confidence of the commun
ity it has its good will. It often
takes years of fair dealing to
build up the great asset of pub
lic confidence, yet it may be
lost by a few shady transact
ions.
For this reason, everlasting
vigilance is required on the
part of owners of a business,
to see that not only are their
own principles and policies
sound, but that the spirit of
the establishment is carried
out by every person connected
with it, even to the lowest
salaried employee.

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
September 21 1921
Nine boxes of ore specimens,
totaling 1,000 pounds in
weight, left Sunday on the
Prince George for Seattle,
bound for the American Min
ing Congress, which meets in
Chicago next month. The ex
ecutive committee of the local
Mining Congress have worked
strenuously in assembling this
collection and have been loyal
ly assisted by claim owners.
The collection is representative
of the entire district and it is
safe to say will compare fav
orably with any district ex
hibit shown at the Chicago ex
position. There are 28 proper
ties represented.
“The tangible property of
the Hyder Water Light and
Power Company, which be
came defunct last fall through
inability to finance the under
taking, was disposed of at
Marshal’s sale this week, be
ing bid in for costs by the
heaviest claimant, L. Holton.
The property consisted of wat
er rights on a small creek
about 11/2 miles from Hyder
across which a concrete dam
is built which retains 1,500,
000 gallons of water. By add
ing a few feet to the height
>f the dam the capacity of the
reservoir could be easily doub
led, but it is estimated that the
present supply is ample for a
population of 2,000 and the
new owner does not contem
plate any changes at present.
Henry Rivard, a pioneer of
the district and a general fav
orite, has leased the Junction
building from Mrs. C. D. Velie
and opened a cigar store un
der the name of “Henry’s
Place.”
F. C. Lawrence, the jeweler
I and optician, has moved intc
| his new building adjoining the
Hyder Drug Co.
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Willard
of Petersburg arrived this
week on their launch and spenl
several days renewing old ac
quaintances. Mrs. Willard
built the Miners Hotel here ir
| the winter of 1919 and alsc
I owns several residences.
The new school board ha
I been advised from Juneau that
there are no funds for the con
struction of a school houst
here, but that all supplies
would be furnished and a
teacher engaged for nine
j months commencing Octobei
12. The board has wired ir
counter proposals and upon a
reply being received will prob
ably call a mass meeting tc
consider ways and means foi
