SPURTING HAIRS.
Cousideriug the controversy t><
tween Canadian find American taxi
owners which was stirred up last
week one can come to no other con
clusion than that the Stewart opera
tors have made a serious faux pas.
Had they deliberately started out to
Kill the Moose that wae laving the
golden eggs for them they could
have taken no more effective mea
sure thau the one they did take.
Jae would naturally expect that
* there would be mere or less sym
pathy extended them by their home
folks, but this is not a fact. Stew
art people consider thnt they have
pulled a bloomer, and are as much
disgusted over the petty jealousy
displayed us are the Hyder resi
dents.
Iu n new community there should
jje shown e spirit of give and take.
Stewart and Hyder have no reason
for anything bill the most friendly
rivalry. - I he prosperity of one
town can but reflect prosperity on
the other. That there are two
towns at the head of Portland Canal
is fortunate for both. Each has now
somewhere to go visiting. The fact
that most of the passenger traffic
originates in Hyder should make
business better for the Hyder cars
than for ihose coining from Stew
jft. but up to the present no parti
ality has been shown. In the future
however, if one may judge by ex
pve- ions heard around the streets,
Hyde cars will be given a strong
preference.
So far as Customs Officer Came
ton is concerned, he would never
have mode any trouble on this ques
tion. The fact that passengers and
supplies were unloaded 27 feet from
the boundary line bothered him not
in the least. He knew that they
'veie going across the line, and that
under present conditions there was
do other way in which they could
?ntC9 Hyder. But when charges
were brought by other parties he
could do nothing else but acti
Secretary J. L, McPherson of the
Masha bureau, Seattle chamber of
commerce, will leave Seattle early
in July for Alaska. It is 'he in
tention of McPherson to co\ er prac
tically every seotion of the Terri
tory this summer, investigating con
ditions and gathering data for use
in connection with future campaigns
for aiding in development work. It
has been his practice for a number
of years to go North every summer.
This wa< interfered with last year
as he was held in Washington by
hie duties with the departmefit of
the interior in connection with the
Alaska railroad project.
