Hyder ip making preparations to
'receive a large delegation from the
Vancouvei Board of Trade which
left that oity yesterday on an excur
nior. up the coast and will arrive
at the Stewart wharf on the eve
ning of the 11th. The initiative in
the rpatter was taken by the local
Igloo No. 20, Pioneers of Alaska,
v/ho wired on May 26 inviting the
excursionists to visit this camp and
participate in a dance to bfe given
ill their honor on the night of their

of the members of this board I have
t ie pleasure of accepting your kind
: ivitation to visit Hyder during

with approximately 150 in party
including about 60 ladies. Have
Wired Stewart the same informa
tion and have wired them that we
have accepted your invitation to a
dance in yotis city. We will arrive
in Stewart June 11 approximately
at 7 p. in., leaving Sunday a. m.
Looking forward to a pleasant visit.
P. H. Payne, secretary.
Stewart is also preparing to en
tertain the excursionists with a
dance followed by a smoker, and if
• ha visitors assimilate all the pro
gram prepared for them they will
t»fe as busy as the fellow who had
fit Vitus dance, the seven-year itch
and a Waterbury watch all at one
and the same time.
Various committees have oharge
of the affair in Hyder. The visitors
yvill be met at the boRt, extended
the freedom of the camp and invit
ed to have all the fun they want
after they have finished with the
formalities in Stewait; which is
their nominal destination. J. V.
Hassler and G, A- Powers have
been engaged to provide pipsio for
the dance, and Geo. Flawn has un
dertaken to supervise the prepara
tion of the supper. Already Hyder
people are overhauling their Fourth
of July decorations and the town is
expected to take on a gala appear
ance just as though everybody here
was glad, or something like that.
The only regret is that the distin
tinguished guests are to spend such
a short time in camp. There will
not even be time to put on an ex
hibition by the High Dive Club,

ed by President Harding for gover

paperman of wide experience and
was for seven years prior to 1918
editor-in-chief of the Seattle Post
