Almost any toad can be a big

Had you noticed that you sel

It’s a great age; wherein
w»rd oasses for wisdom and
fools houting from the house
tops are looked upon as sages
by the easily deluded multi
tude that thinks not but of
the day and hour.
Ths establishment of a genu
ine pul lie library is a mark
of local progress that is en
titled to more than passing
consideration in the chronicles
of passing events. Not a great
many towns of the same size
and population anywhere in
the country possess an insti
tution of such character, and
the number to be found in
Alaska towns may almost be
counted on the fingers of one
hand. Public libraries art
found in the Territory only ir
the older and larger commun
ities and we doubt if one is to
be found in any other town
possessing less than double
the population of Hyder.
Although at present some
what limited in scope anc
character of its book offerings
the local institution can be
come fu'ly as beneficial in the
communal circle in which it
operates as the greatest pub
lie library in the land. Th<
idea behind the public library
is not merely to provide fret
reading to the public but tt
advance education through en
abling the masses to have fre
access to the information am
knowledge of the world’
teach r3 and master minds
This, in substance, was th<
reason given by the late An
drew Carnegie for his numer
ous public library donations.
With the addition of a fe\t
scientific and technical works
the local library, small as it is
can be made a highly benefic
ial adjunct to the communal
life, a? well as a moving in
i'nence in the promotion o
f-duion, and should receivi
the si p" ort and encouragt
ment of everyone in the dis
trict.
Books are the principal need
of any library and especially
those of worth while char
acter, hence those who wish
to give the library the most
effective assistance can best
j achieve that object by donat
! ing such volumes as they can
^pare from their private li
braries. Those who have no
j books to give can help to keen
| the institution going by pat
| ronizing it and donating a bit
of their spare change toward
increasing its usefulness. It Is
an institution, the worth ol
which cannot be computed in
dollars and cents but is never
theless an asset of great value
to the town and a benefit to
'ts people.
Those who have been instru
| mental in bringing the librarj
i mto being have performed a ’
| ;plendid and far reaching ser
vice and are justly entitled tc
| the thanks of the community
'or their efforts.

! Nature’s penalty, if he had

ave been death, for him and
i rany of his charges. Nature
j nks no excuses and has no

\ square peg never fits a
und hole. This adage is a:
:d as man almost, yet its ap
i plication is not always apt.
The trouble is not with the
peg but with the hole. We say
a man is as square as a brick;
that he stands four-square to 1
every proposition; that he is
square in all his dealings. The
square from time immemorial!
has been emblematic of recti-1
tude. On the other hand, the I
circle, while emblematic of in- j
finity, is also symbolic of those
phases of character that are
not always desirable. Thus it
is better to a square peg than
a round hole, better for you
and all concerned.
A joke is a joke, but a pun is
a refuge for the ignorant.

And Speaking of Thanksgiving
Here’s to the virtue of Pump

Lending their aid to a dubi

Puzzling a palate that tho’t
it was Owl.
Probably ’twas; for the Turk

Causes the Buzzard no end ;
of suspense.
Nevertheless, it’s a season of
joy
Standing alone in the mind of

And alone in the thought of
the Parents who toil

Boys castor-oil.
Lots of people are glad that

The chlorination process is
based on the solubility of gold
in chlorine water. It offers a
I means of extracting the gold
from some classes of ores, that
1 are not satisfactorily treated
by amalgamation or cheaply
handled by cyanidation, lixi-1
viation, or smelting. With j
some classes of ores, the chlor-;
ination process may give bet- j
ter results than treatment
with cyanide; especially high
grade ores containing copper,
and other impurities which ef
fect cyanidation by an undue
consumption of cyanide. The ;
treatment of such ores by j
chlorination involves the roast
ing of the ore, which is usually
prohibitive in cost on low
grade ore. After roasting, the
ore is treated either in closed
tanks or revolving barrels in !
contact with>6hlorine. This dis
solved gold is precipitated
from the chlorine water by
Ferrous Sulphate or Hydrogen
Sulphide usually the latter.

Your Business
ANY BUSINESS THAT tries to get along without a bank
is a very small-business, even then it is not too small but
that its financial affairs should be handled through a bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the busi
ness life of the country.
TRANSACT YOUR business through our bank, no matter
how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
