HYDER, ALASKA,
Jan. 17. 1923
OUR BIG BROTHER
C. M. Taylor, Ketchikan agent
for the Alaska Steamship Co., has
written a nice letter which we are
indeed glad to acknowledge, and
the contents of which, or at least
as muoh as is of public interest, we
take pleasure in passing on to our
readers.
It will be remembered that a few
weeks ago the Miner published the
telegrams that had been passing
between the Hyder Commercial As
sociation and the Alaska Steamship
Combany in Seattle. Among these
was one quoting the Ketchikan
agent as having reported that the
Hyder wharf was in no condition
to permit the landing of the Jeff
erson. Mr. Taylor explains this
satisfactorily and the Miner can
tell him now that we are fully con
vinced he had no intention of try
ing to "knock Hyder business,” as
might be inferred from the bare
telegram without a subsequent ex
planation of the facts concerning it
A few days ago we also read with
considerable interest a front-page,
one-column article in the Ketchi
kan Daily News which was chiefly
devoted to explaining away the
"wrong impression" created by the
Miner headlines. Incidentally, a
mild reprimand was given the Hy
dtr Commercial Association for “a
bit of procrastination” in replying
to the first telegram from John H.
Bunch of Seattle, and the editor of
the Miner is given a slap on the
wrist and told that he owes the
News a cigar. As to that, if Editor
Bennett __ will come over here he
may be sure of the cigar; and if
his erstwhile city editor comes
along there will still be enough to
go ’round.
As to "procrastination," the sec
retary and other members of the
Association puf in several strenu
ous days securing the data and in
I formation desired by Mr. Bunch.
| The questions he asked as a busi- j
' ness representative of the steam-j
j ship company could not be ans-.
wered haphazard.
The News says: "We feel safe
in saying that we voice all Ketchi
kan interests in rejoicing with,
Hyder people over the completion
of the new dock, together with hav
ing secured for themselves the as
surance of regular steamer service.
Mr. Taylor says: “The Alaska
Steamship Company, their agent
and the Ketchikan Commercial'
Club are all deeply interested in
HYDER and ask their cooperation."
Flppl Everything is working oyt
fck
There was a time, in the net far
distant past, when Hyder was just
an infant, and wanted to he petted,
and coddled, and loved up a bit,
We were little, and very unused to
the world's rough bufferings, and
we wanted sympathy.
But when we stuck our head out
from under the wee blankets in the
baby buggy, who slapped our face
and told us to be quiet?
Now we don’t care. We are
wearing pants, and are big enough
to chop the kindling and muck out
the hen house. But infantile mem
j ories survive.
Nevertheless, if Ketchikan now
wants to assume the role of the big
protecting brother, we are glad.
Maybe later on we will meet up
with some big burly who wants to
give us a licking. Maybe then
Big Brother will hop in and throw
a well-aimed brick.
