Costly Warning.
The death of Capt. E. J. A.
Burke arid the similar fate of
Pilot Robin Renahan and his
companions, Frank Hatcher
and Sam. Clerf, have provided
a costly warning of the dan
gers of winter flying in the
Northland. Both fatalities
show that the most extreme
care must be exercised in fly
ing during the period when
sudden fogs, snow and sleet
are liable at any moment to
destroy visibility or render
an airplane incapable of sus
taining itself in the air as a re
sult of the proceSvS known Ic
Arctic mariners a s “icing
down.”
While it is true that Capt.
Burke’s untimely fate was to
some extent due to an injury
to a pontoon, it must be re
called that the injury in quest
ion was primarily due to the
descent of sudden snow storms
which forced him down twice
before the pontoon accident
rendered his plane incapable
of taking off from the last
landing place.
It is very probable that hero
ic Robin Kenahan and his
equally courageous compan
ions encountered very similar
conditions during the stormy
evening of October 28 and
either became lost in fog un
til their engine failed or were
gradually borne down into the
stormy waters by added weight!
of snow or sleet in some sudden
squall.
At the same time reflection
suggests that the fate of Ren-:
alian may not rest entirely up
on the elements. Flying con-1
ditions are said to have been j
distinctly bad at the time he j
left Butedale and his depart i
ure from that point seems, in j
the light of subsequent devel- i
opments, to have been possibly
ill-advised. However, the fact
remains that winter flying ip
the North is a hazardous game
, with fate and with the cards
to some extent stacked against
the airman who ventures fotrih
■ i under uncertain flying condit
i ‘ ions.
Another lesson taught by
; these unfortunate air catastvo
iphes is the need for having
planes flying in the vast North
ei n spaces equipped with rad
io apparatus and with men on
board capable of operating
them.
Had Capt. Burke’s plane
been so provided there is hard
ly a doubt that he and his com
j panions would have been res
j cued within 48 hours after
i their plane was forced down
in the desolate Atlin region.
And it is also not improbab
le that the Renahan party
might possibly have been
spared had they been able by
means of radio to have kept
! the Piince Rupert or Ketchi
kan radio stations advised of
their progress and location af
ter leaving Butedale.

From Mining and Industrial
Record
Notwithstanding all the talk
about the low price of this
once precious metal, silver has
been going to new low levels
in price. United States first
realized the effect of the slump
through its producing industry,
when its silver mines shut
down and its miners went idle.
Great Britain is now realizing
the effect of the low prices
through her decreasing foreign
tiade, when India can buy
J half, as well as China and
i other eastern peoples, on ac
count of the halved value of
diver. A new low for all time
has been registered this last
month when silver touched the
128 cts. mark Common serose
will doubtless intervene be
tween golf games and horse
racing in due time, to the
plight of more than half of the '
world’s population. Then silver
will be called in to assist gold
in carrying the burden of the
world’s trade.

He: “Neither; its an excuse!”
Another one! A hick town is a

Prctect the Birds: The dove

Customer: How is hash made

Waiter: Hash aint made it

Judge: The two men were]
fighting with chairs. Didn’t you
try to establish peace?
Witness: No, there was not a
third chair.
He: I made a fool of myself
last night.
She: I didn’t notice anything!
unusual about you.

He: “A chicken with a mother
couldn’t be so tough!”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
Frcm the Hyder Alaska Miner
of January 19, 1920
i Edgar L. Dale the popular
operator of the Hyder Radio
station, and Miss Adeline
Hayes Cellyham, a charming
Seattle girl, who arrived on the
Albert January 8, were united
in marriage that evening at the
home of J. A. Hall, Unfted
States Commissioner John T.
Reed, pronouncing the words
which caused two hearts to
beat as one.
William Hamilton, proprietor
of Bill’s Boarding House, died
at his home about 9:30 Frida}
night while a bunch of his
friends were around him talk
ing.
A baby girl, the first born in
Hyder, arrived at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Balch on
the morning of January 10.
The Premier was reported
• breaking all previous records
in ore shipments, with trac
tors and teams working day
and night hauling down high
| grade ore. Four hundred tons.
; left on the Albert this week
| that was said to average $500
per ton. And when she pulls
out again she will take 400
tons more of the same grade,
this in spite of the fact that the
I mine is just now handicapped
by lack of power. While the
j Albert was in port 28 loads of
ore, more than 150 tons were
delivered at the wharf in 24
hours, constituting a record for
ore delivery.

The Pioneers “Bitney” dance ;
on the night of the 14th was I
unique and a huge success. I
Every number cost the danc-1
ers a “bit” (12i/2 cents) and ;
the bits taken in amounted in :
the aggregate to a neat sum.
which goes a long way toward
placing the organization in a i
position to soon commence cal
ling in their bonds. The excel
lent lunch also cost a bit.
The last mail brought word
to the effect that Pat Daly is j
sueing R.K. Neill for $200,
000. The letter gives no de-i
tails whatever but Pat has
said enough in this camp for j
residents here to have no diff-!
culty in surmising the cause of
;he action, as ne has claimed
>n numerous occasions that he
was entitled to an interest in j
he Premier.
