An epidemic of sickness

Friday was the shortest day
i of the year, the sun rising at
17:43 a. m. and setting at 4:13.
p. m. Although December 21
:s usually called the shortest
day of the year, there is in re
j ality a scarcely appreciable
difference between it and the
following day, December 22.
During the two days the sun
is apparently at a standstill,
not changing its distance
; from the equator for some time
I thus giving rise to the term
“solstice,” by which it has been
i known since ancient days,
j The actual winter period is
supposed to begin at the time
of the winter solstice, desig
nated astronomically as Decern
inated astronomically as Dec
ember 22.

: Someone told us the other day
| that he had sent out for that
young boy’s delight an ERECT
OR, the building toy. Only a
| short time later another one 01
our good customers dropped
the remark that he was think
ing of sending for one of those
Toy Trains, with its track ana
station and all the fixin’s. It is
too bad to send out for sucn
things when they may be
bought at THE MIDGET EM
PORIUM. Mechanical Toys of
a variety. We will appreciate
your asking for them here.

pearance at the Hyder Drug j
Company store this afternoon
between three and four o’clock

en F.Hill. All the kiddies, big

Reports to the effect that the
Premier company is planning
to- construct a railroad from
the mine to tidewater are ap
parently either very premature
or bn: .! upon nothing more
tar.:; ban the evanescent
nu -• prevalent in the
K' ' -illy during the
I is stated by
dose touch
oi i ,‘cials that so
i here is no
« ■' • • of such an
; : ■■ advisibility of
buiidinp ( n .'■-or.d to transport
mine was
ed prior to
the installation of the present
tramw y system and it is said
that there is little prospect of
a change in the method of ore
conveyance, at least for some
time to come.
Canards of this character are
to be deplored for the reason
that they often create difficul
ties for those in charge and al
so for the more important reas
on that when the alleged dev
elopment or contemplation
fails to eventuate in accord
with the rumors, it results >n
positive harm to the camp and
district, especially when broad
casted through the medium oi
the press.
Another rumor of this char
acter appearing recently was
to the effect that the Premier
contemplated the construction
of a thousand ton mill. In relat
ion thereto it is stated on good
authority that an installation
of the magnitude indicated is
entirely beyond the company’s
contemplations at the present
time.
