AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connect ed in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm or other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
lormation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Counsels Small
Town Advertising
Commenting on the depres
sion, one of the country’s
greatest publicists counsels
merchants and dealers every
where to advertise, including
those in the smaller communi
ties possessing a local paper.
Continuing, he says:
“In many places, notably the
smaller communities, the news
paper is having a hard strug
gle for existence. It may be a
live sheet, ably edited, but the
local merchant in many in
stances feels that “everybody
knows him” and that is it not
necessary to advertise; that
“he does about the same
amount of business anyway.”
He fails to appreciate what
it means to his community to
spread the new abroad of its
doings, of its achievements and
of its opportunities for busi
ness and newcomers.
Every new family drawn to
the community means at least
$1,000 more spent in that com
munity yearly. Every merchant
gets his share of it.
In supporting the newspaper
by advertising the merchant
both help in his own trade
and encourages enterprise on
the part of the publisher, and
the greater publicity given the
town and district, the more
rapid the growth.
The local newspaper is the
Chamber of Commerce and
publicity bureau combined. II
should have the support of
everyone, to the end that the
greatest amount of good may
be accomplished. Thousands of
dollars worth of free advertis
ing is given away every year
by the local newspaper. Every
little thing is boosted, and peo
ple abroad are told what a
fine place your town is.
Only in advertising can the
local newspaper find reward
for its efforts. The subscript
ions do no more than pay for
the cost of publishing and de
livering the paper.
In supporting the paper by j
advertising the merchant is j
contributng not only to the re
lief of business depression and
to his own direct benefit but
to the future of the commun
ity.

The Wile* of Women
Whatever one may think of
the present female habit of i
painting, penciling, dyeing and j
: the like, it must be admitted :
that while the effects obtained j
, may be in a degree deceptive, j
there is no attempt made to j
conceal the fact that artificial j
[ aids to beauty are employed. ^
Even the most unsophisticat- i
ed of men are aware that art
s brought to the aid of nature
with utmost frankness. Wheth
er the effects produced really
lend charm to the modern
woman is largely a matter of
individual opinion.
In former times a woman who
employed cunning devices to
lure the male sex were frown
ed upon. A Massachusettes
law of 1634 forbade the wear
ing of “any apparel, either
woolen, silke, or lynnen, with
any lace on it, or silver, golde j
jr silver threads.” The English
parliament of 1770 passed an j
act providing “that any wom
an who shall entice the mar
riage of any of His Majesty’s
subjects by means of perfume,
false hair or false hips shall be
condemned as a sorceress and
the marriage shall be declared
null and void. •
Since those days customs have
changed greatly but human na
ture has net.
Just for Fun
A scientist says the tongue
contains more tin than any
other part’ of the body. And
naturally rattles more.
Census reports show that
there are 102 and a half men
in this country for every 100
women. That half man is prob
ably a radio crooner.
Don’t begrudge Germany her
moratorium. Think what she
would have gotten if she had
won the war.
Wonder if Henry Ford man
aged to corral a Wall Street
bull for his famous museum.
Washington’s 200th anniver
sary will be celebrated next
year by people who voted
away the liberty he gave us.
Census reports show that 1,
942 persons in the United
States are both blind and deaf.
It would be cruel to say how
many are dumb.
“Have you any celery, wait
er?
“No, sir; I ’ave to rely on me
tips.”
Judge: “What’s the charge?”
Cop: “Impersonating an of
ficer, your Honor, he took a
couple of bananas from a fruit
stand.
Shorty: “So you call your
self a vegetarian and here you
are working on a beefsteak
and onions.”
Fatty: “Yes, you may call
this a beefsteak, but I call it
forbidden fruit.”
MacNab: “Do you know of a
shop to let with ‘McNab’ paint
ed on?”
Owen: “No. Why?”
“Well, I want tae set up in
business.”
Fond Parent (at bed-time) :
“Say your prayers louder,
darling. I can’t hear you.”
Small Daughter: “I wasn’t
speaking to you, mummie.”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner |
November 9, 1921
The executive committee of
the Hyder Commercial Assoc
iation, consisting of President
W. S. Orr, H, H. Howard and
Sam Potts, has drawn up a
petition to be forwarded to the
Rivers and Harbors committee
of the Senate and Delegate
Sutherland asking the federal
government to build a wharf
at Hyder. The petition recites
that under present conditions!
all passengers, mail and!
freight are brought ashore on
scows from boats anchored in
the harbor, and that it is im
possible to land even in this!
manner except at high tide, or
approximately four hours out
of twenty-four.
The finance committee of the
Hyder Commercial Association
was instructed at the last meet
ing to canvas for funds for!
fencing the unprotected por- j
tions of the streets, to prevent
further accidents resulting
from people falling off into
the tide flats in the dark. It
was pointed out how fortunate
the town has been that of all
who have taken the so-called
“high dive” (numbering per
haps 200) not one has suffer
ed more than a broken bone
or two, when by all the laws
of averages, broken necks or
drowning might have been ex
pected. The secretary reported
that the chemical fire engine
ordered some time ago has
been shipped from Peoria, 111.,
and might be here on the next
boat.
R. VV. Keith this week sold
the Alaska Cafe to J. K. Green
who will take charge on the
15th of this month. The Alaska
! Cafe was established early in
11919 by Mr. Keith and is now
the oldest restaurant in the
camp.
The Stoner building on Main
Street, opposite the Miners’
Hotel, has been leased by J.
K. Green and is being remod
eled into a moving picture;
theatre by P. C. Beaudreau. j
Clay Porter and George Mehl-1
feld are well satisfied with the j
results of the season’s develop
ment on their Idaho group on
the north fork of Marmot riv-'
er. The work done this year:
consisted of a tunnel 100 feet ]
in length which follows an j
offshoot of the main vein and
has opened up a good shoot of
ore which assays from $300 to
j $1000 per ton. The tunnel has
almost reached the main vein
and the ore has widened to
five feet in the face with 18
inches of ore that will run $500
| or better.
Captain Swanson has put the
motor boat Pachena on the run
from Rupert during the winter
months to alternate with the
John.
Work on the Fish Creek Min
ing Company property on Fish
Creek will be carried on con
tinuously during the coming
winter, according to W. R.
Tonkin, president and general
manager. The upper tunnel has
tapped the vein at a depth of
58 feet after being driven 120
feet and has exposed ore five
, feet in width, about one-third
1 of which is of shipping grade.
I As the ore is mined it will be
! sorted and the high-grade
j sacked for shipment when
; transportation becomes better.
Fifteen tons of ore that will as
say from $300 to $400 per ton
are being shipped this week.
