AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
HYDER EXPLOITS
ITS RICHES
(Seattle Times.
Enterprise characteristic oi
the people who have pioneered
and developed Alaska is pos
sessed in lull measure by resi
dents of Hyder. Determination
to direct attention to the re
sources and the advantages oi
the camp and its surrounding
district is evidenced in an
eight-page publication just is
sued under auspices of the
community’s Chamber of Com
merce.
In the absence of printing
trade equipment, pen and
typewriter were invoked tc
portray the wealth and attract
ions of the northern camp, and
then a mimeograph machim
was used to produce copies oi
the original composition. It ii
all done by hand.
The front-page covers shows
an artistic, accurate map oi
Alaska with Hyder’s location
at the head of Portland Canal,
in the extreme Southeastern
part of the Territory, made
prominent. Succeeding pages
stress scenic wonders, harbor
facilities and mining activities.
Most of the mining properties
are on the Canadian sid.; of
the international boundary, but
Hyder is the port for in
coming and outgoing ship
ments and commands the busi
ness of the district. Geographic
situation, mineral treasure and
civic energy combine to insure
great and stable prosperity.
Hyder’s message should every
where be well received.
-o
BUILD A RAILWAY
TO ALASKA!
(Mining Truth.)
Alaska should be linked with
the rest of the United States
by a railway across Canada.
This paper is enough of a gov
ernment ownership advocate
to assert that if private capi
tail cannot be found to build
such a line, the two govern
ments should cooperate in its
construction.
Alaska is potentially richer
than the Scandinavian penin
sula, which supports nine mill
ion people and has furnished
besides one of the hardiest
strains that make up the Amer
ican and Canadian nations.
Alaska’s population is prob
ably less than 75,000.
Unless Alaska is settled by
Americans and Canadians it
will be settled by Orientals.
The white race cannot perma
mtly hold so rich a section of
he globe without giving it
more than paper sovereignty
md absentee government.
-o
ROAD TO SUCCESS.
In the attainment of solid,
.veil-founded success there has
ieen found no substitute for
lonest labor with the hands
>r mind. The ages have recog
rized this as an immutable
ruisir yet every age, includ
ng the present, has had its
keptics, its unbelievers, its
seekers after fame and fortune
without paying the price in
work.
Some sage has said that to
ittain success use half as much j
effort as you would exert in J
attempting to seek success
without work. There is much
wisdom in the axiom that it
akes less mental effort to
:limb to legitimate success
han to climb to an illegitimate
success. Legitimate • achieve
ment requires ’ho fortifications,
10 protction. Illegitimate a
•-hievement demands1 more in
ts retainment than in its at
tainment.
It is a gross injustice to hu
nanity to say that if there is
iny one thing, more than an
other, that enlists very much
if the attention, time and ef
fort of the people it is' in
scheming and planning to get
something of value for nothing.
The number of society’s para
sites is large but the number
if honest, hard-working sup
oorting pillars of society is
ireponderously larger.
-o
You can’t make yourself
happy, but any fool can avoid
the things that make'him un
happy.
Just for Fun
Heads may be some thicker
out in the sticks; but the milk
is also.
Dogs don’t seem so smart
when you observe the kind of
people they take up with.
Originality: Doing what some
other man did so long ago that
people have forgotten.
He isn’t a born politician un
less he thinks the first person
singular is unanimous.
Jimmy R. says it is not true
that all the world loves a
lover. Only his sweetheart
does that.
Hubert Thomas remarked
that some people will go a
“long ways” to amuse the fair
sex.
Ethel was sitting on the beach
giggling when Bess^ame along
and asked the reason.
“Oh, but isn’t George the cut
up?” replied Ethel .between
gasps of laughter.
“Yes, but where is he now?”
Bess wanted to know.
Well, he made a comic dive
awhile ago, and for the longest
time he’s been down under
the water blowing bubbles for
me.”
The reason that old maids
like kittens is that the men
have been too catty for them in
their youth.—Contributed.
A Hyder woman thinks the
couple in Arkansas who asked
for a hunting license to get
married on, intended to make
a companionate marriage.
QUERIES ANSWERED
A manufacturer tells me that
the girls are not wearing
bloomers as much a3 they did
a few months ago. Do you
think he is correct?
N. M. L.
The manufacturers should
know. The figures show.
Little Willie was late for Sun
day school, and the teacher
inquired the cause.
“I was going fishing, but at
the last minute father wouldn’t
let me,” he told her.
“That’s the kind of father to
have.” replied the teacher.
“Did he explain the reason
why he would not let you go?”
, “Yes, miss. He said there
wasn’t bait enough for two.”
He was her man, but his man
ners did not sooter,
So she popped him off with
her little shooter.—Contribut
ed.
He: “Were you ever vacci
nated?”
She: “Yes.”
He: “I don’t see any scar.’ '
She: “You’ll have to take my
word for it.”
He opened the gate to let her
pass
He did not bend or bow,
For he was only a country
youth,
And she a jersey cow—Con
tributed.
Ben says he don’t mind look
ing at a girl’s leg if she has a
pretty knee, because a lot
hinges on that! .
“I used to be a draft clerk.”
“What’s that?’ ’
“I opened and shut the win
dows.”
She was awful pretty but she
could be pc ’tty awful.—Con
tributed.
Forgive and you shall be for
given. There’s no other way.
“So I have to go to school on
Columbus Day, do I?”
“Yes, dear—it isn’t a legal
holiday.”
“All right! All right! But if
Columbus had known this was
all the thanks he’d get for dis
covering the old country, I’ll
bet he’d have stayed home in
the first place.”
The artist who puts himself
into his work oftentimes pro
duces a poor picture.
If you walked to Stewart
five times and returned twice,
where would you be when you
finished up?—Contributed.
Pete Wilson says the device
that seems to save the most
steps in the kitchen is a lunch
counter sandwich.
If I had a wife that bothered
my life,
Do you know what I would do,
I’d set her afloat in an old tin
boat
And paddle my own canoe.
That reminds me, I took a
girl out for a row once. She
wouldn’t let me kiss her so I
paddled her back.—Contribut
ed.
Well, what if we didn’t re
forest, this generation has for
gotten how to whittle, anyway.
At an American wedding the
newly married were saluted
by the firing of a gun in the
village. Probably to remind
them that the battle of life had
begun.
Many girls are getting men’s
wages now-a-days-but then,
they always have.
Girls should guard against
being kittenish, for fear they
may grow up to be catty.
SOMETHING TO REMEMBER
It isn’t the work we intend to
do
Nor the work we’ve just begun
That puts us right on the led
ger sheet;
Its the work we’ve really done.
Our credit is built on the
things we do,
Our debit on things we shirk;
The m an who totals the big
gest plus
Is the man who completes his
work.
Good intentions do not pay
bills,
Its easy enough to plan;
To wish is the play of an of
fice boy,
To do is the job of a man.

KETCHIKAN. ALASKA
ALASKA NOTES
G. R. Skinner, believes he has
a platinum property in the Nu
ka Bay region. He three leads
that have been traced on the
surface for 1600 feet, supposed
to be arsenide of platinum.
Samples of the ore submitted
to test in Fairbanks and at La
touche indicate that the ore is
platinum, but no autoritative
test has yet been made. The
ore is susceptible of being
opunded out into sheets. It is
apparently not a silver-lead
proposition, although the ore
carries the color of silver.
A carload of gold ore assay
ing from $500 to $1,000 per
ton. The ore was taken out
single handed by A1 Branden
burg from an outcrop adjoin
ing the Monarch Mining Com
pany’s claim. The ore is free
milling and speckled with
gold.
