i HYDER, ALASKA, Jan. 3, 1923
The Hotel Hyder case is over.
At the hands of twelve good and
lawful men, in the commissioner’s
court, the begetting of animus was
buried and a good citizen restored
to the confidence and esteem of
the people, to which he is justly
entitled. His friends do, and
others may well, thank Ernest Blue
for the clean manner in which he
conducted the defence. The logic
and eloquence of his closing ad
dress to the jury occasioned most
favorable comment on the part of
all who heard it.
The world is becoming broader.
A Federal judge in Chicago has
decreed that cigaretts may now be
smoked with impunity on the
streets of Zion City. But it took a
restraining order to prevent Over
seer Voliva from arresting all such
dissipaters. Maybe some day in
the long future it may be permis
sable in Alaska and elsewhere to
take a little wine for the stomuch’s
sake. We sure will get back to
normalcy one day, if we can only
live long enough to enjoy its arri
val.—Juneau Capital.
Who was it? Napoleon, we thinkt
who said “Trust God, but keep your
powder dry.’’ He has a counter
part in an Alaskan Indian chief
who was ont in a storm, with 30 of
his tribe and two missionairies, in
a war-canoe. The big missionary,
weighing over 200 pounds, sat in
the stern of the canoe, while the
little one, who tipped the scales at
100 pounds less, occupied the bow.
At the height of the storm the
little preacher cried to the big one:
“Pray, brother, pray.” But the
chief was on the job and issued his
orders: "Little man pray. Big
man paddle.”
One of the most exciting sports
in the Wwrld is hunting the fero
cious snowshoe rabbit with a spool
of copper wire. Alas, this is a pas- i
time that is denied denizens of the j
Portland Canal district, because]
there are no rabbits here.
We do not claim to be a prophet
nor the son of a prophet; so wevviil j
simply call attention to the fact j
that all indications point to 1923
as the most prosperous year this
district has ever witnessed.
One of the useless occupations
that we might suggest is throwing
glass balls at people who live in
stoRe homes.
They call it first class mail, but
we will ask the world how mail can
be first class unless there are some
checks enclosed.
