Basket- ball enthusiasts of
Stewart are reported to be con
templating’ the organization
of a basket ball club. In the
event that the organization is
perfected, the club will prob
jably include a team composed
of members of the fair sex, as
well as a male organization.
Dr. Richard Butler, who re
cently became a permanent
resident, is an experienced
basket ball coach and will
probably become /.the .cjub’a
official mentor in case the con
templated organization takes
definite form.
A shipment of 1T0 tons of
coal arrived on £he Oduna for
jthe Hyder Fuel Company. In
cluded in the supply of fu d
were tep tons of briquets, said
to be the first of that class of
fuel to arrive in Hyder.
Manager Holger Johnson says
the shipment is intended to try
lout the possibilities of briquet
i fuel. It is believed briquets will
prove to be an ideal fuel for
use in wood stoves in conjunct
with wood fuel. In the event
that they find favor among loc
al fuel users the company in

i Introducing a new and easily
i learned dance as one of the at
tractions, the Ocean View Ho
tel will hold on the evening of
March 7 another of the pop
ular dance dntlctftainmenljs
which have helped to make
the present winter season one
of the liveliest, socially speak
ing, in Hyder’s history. The
new dance referred to is said
by Manager Charles Ridley to
be one of the liveliest charac
ter, somewhat resembling the
old fashioned quadrille but in
cluding waltz and other mod
ern dance steps. According to
I Mr. Ridley the dance is known
as the Fashion dance and is the
: latest dance craze in the East.
