A newspaper whose purpose is to tefi
the world shout the newest end bus
iest town in the nqrtMand, and the
native resources which are responsible
for its existence.
PUaUSHED WEEKLY
Entered as second class matter Nov

Hyder. Alaska, uuder the Act of
March 3, 1879.

HYDER. ALASKA, Jan. 31. 1923
The meanest man in Alaska has
been fonnd, or rather, has display
ed his meanness so flagrently
that the authorities would like to
find him This degenerate rene
gade stole a gas boat from a blind
Indian who, with his one-leeged
son, used it to make a living fish
ing. Without their boat they can
not exist except as public charges.
This they are too proud to do, and
so they have asked the Juneau
officials to capture the kultus klale
kowmux who kapswallowed their
hyas pish rnammok canim.
An old friend has returned to
our exchange table. The White
horse Star has taken a new lease
on life, and starts again, after sus
pending publication for a year,
looking vigorous enough to live
forever. For 21 years the good
citizens of Whitehorse had been
favored with a better paper than
the support they gave it justified,
and at last they evidently came to
look upon it as an institution that,
like death and taxes, would come
around inevitably. It has taken
them a year to recover from the
shock of sitting down to their fish
on Fridays without the Star as a
stimulant. Now, we hope that, the
new publisher. Frank H. Doree,
and his associate editor. J. A. Shir
ley, will rect ive the support that
their paper deserves.
Speaking of contrasts, a fellow
meets some queer ones right here
in the north. For instance, we ate
very chummy with a busted pros
pector who owns 17 or 18 potential
mines, and we also meet on terms
of equality with a very wealth,
man (for these parts) who has
five tons of coal. Both get then
mulligan and beans regularly. Titert
is no real ddstitution in Alaska
with one exception that newspapet
ethics forbids mentioning.
If everyone in this town wanted
everything for hinist >f, what kinc
of a "own do you think we coul
build? Cooperation is the only
system for obtaining results. Re
member what Lincoln (or someone
el ) is reported as saying: “United
we stand, pr vi 1 d we don’t fal ,
(or soinet' mg like that?)
The silver authorized to be pur
chased under the terms of the Pitt
man act has nearly all been sup
plied, and American silver must
soon compete against the world’s
product. Theoretically, the price
of all silver should advance whet,
the present abporpnal value placed
qq the American product has been
removed, but we predict that both
domestic and foreign will slump.
It is almost a certainty that money
for the development of properties
where silyer values predominate
will be harder to secure,
