Fire Protection
Called for the purpose of consid
pring the matter of fire protection,
these was such a good attendance,
end so much epthugiasip was dis.
ptayed at the meefjng last Thurs
day night, that q proposal to revive
the defunot Hyder Commercial
Association went through wjth a
whoop. Vice-president M. R. Jam
ieson and Secretary H. H. Howard,
fif the original body assumed their
familiar chairs, and the fosmsr
palled for ap plpption qf officers,
Which resulted as follows.
President, W. S. Orr; vice-presi
dent, W. R. Hull- second vice-presi
dent, Noel M, Traversy; secretary
treasurer, Fred Dorey.
President Orr reported that W.
R. Keith, Fred Dorey and himself
had already' ordered apd guaran
teed payment oil a chemical engine
pf 40 gallons’ capacity and costing
$425. Fire protection danees have
petted $179, and the baseball club
offered the loan of $190 now in
their treasury, which was accepted
with thanfcg. A committee consist
ing qf 4, K- Green, P, W, McDonnell
and Noel TrSYeray was appointed
to solicit further fundQ. This chem*
teal apparatus will be always ready
and experience has proved that it
will stop any ordinary fire if used
in time,
Installation of an electric plant
as an additional fire preventative
was discussed, and from the senti
ment expressed it will surely be
come a reality in the near future.
It was also mentioned that a wharf
pan now be secured if the citizens
take the trouble of asking foi it,
and the proper steps in this direc
tion are to be taken.
These matters will be further dis
cussed at a meeting to be held to
morrow night in the Portland Cafe
building, and it will be to the in.
terests of all the residents of Hyder
to be present. The building has
been offered f°r meetings by Nick
Beiler, who hap jt leased, ajsd Cos
Briokson, the owner, offered to’sup
ply fuel. Both these public spirited
citizens wore paid jn advance by a
vote of thanks, '
Everyone at the meeting had
something to say. It was not the
same as of yore, when a half-dozen
did the business and the rest sat
ground and wished the thipg was
over. There was a feeling of itu
tense interest in the sir, and an
evident surety that this interest
will continue,
NEW ALASKA ASSAYS WELL
Dan Davia has had assays from
tha samples he recently brought
down from the New Alaska and
which give encouragement for the
continuation of work op the lard*
lead that ia partially opened up on
this property. The ore runs $85
per ton, nearly $14 being in gold.
This, in view of the large quantities
of this ore now in sight and the ac.
pessibilty of the property, makes
the suooeas of the New Alaska a
praetieal certainty, once modern
mining methods are adopted and a
concentrating plant installed. The
Salmon valley wagon road passes
within a few feet of the workings,
and a haul of only 11 miles will
bring tha mine product to tide
water.

IMPORTANT MEETING
TOMORROW NIGHT
Meeting of Hyder Commer
cial Association tomorrow
(Thursday) night* in Portland
Cafe building. Important.
Big Missouri
Will Operate
Worli is to be eommenoed within
a Tory few days on the Big Miss
ouri. This will be the initial devel
opment on the part of the new
company, the Portland Canal Mines
of New York City, who have tha
property under bond and whose
mining engineer, T. A, Wilson, ar
rived several weeks ago with Pat
Daly, who promoted the deal.
The two put in ten days oh the
property, and the examination then
made determined the preliminary
development which is now to be
inaugurated and which will con
sist, for perhaps two or three months
practically of surface prospecting.
This worh will be of importance
however, in that It will determine
to a large extent the nature of
future operations. Seven men w|H
he e nployeh at the start.
Telegraph wires are down at
this writing, but as goon as Mr.
Wilson can communicate with his
principals in New York, which may
be by the time this paper is on the
Street, the crew will go up the hill.

would bring a pleasant surprise to
buyers whose rolls have suffered
from the effects of paying for every
thing on a war basis. All of which
is good hews for everyone in the
eamp who wears phnts-^and most
everyone does.

Torrential rains for a week, cul.
minating Sunday night in a verit
able downpour accompanied by a
high wind eaused some uneasiness
to residents of the forest reserve
and Ltndeborg townsite, and re
sulted in some inconvenience and
considerable damage. Salmon riv.
er reached a stage 18 inches above
the high water mark of last year,
according to measuremeats taken
by W.LBalch, and additional cut
ting away of the river bank result
ed, A culvert and 20 feet of road
bed were washed out at lj-mile,
and for three-quarters of a mile
this side of Fish creek the overflow
tore along the government road,
taking out the mud with whieh the
road-bed had been surfaced,
Bear river was also on a ram
page, but so far as reported did no
particular damage, beyond carry
ing away the Silverado ferry.
The dry channel running through
the forest seserve and townsite was
filled and the makeshift foot-bridge
oq Nevada street was swung down
stream but prevented frem going
out entirely by being moored at one
end. The launch and rowboat left
tiqd to the river bank by the late
John Anderson were taken out in
to the oanai and lost. A scow be
longing to the Dorey Transfer and
loaded with school furniture was
torn from its moorings, carried up
toward Stewart and deposited ou
the old railroad wharf, which was
submerged by the high tide. Hank
Hueke pulled it off with a launch
and brought it back home.
Several residents of the townsite
eould not reach thehr homes while
the tide was at its highest. On the
piling no harm was done, but Fred
Derey and his buuoh found that the
caulking in their scow-house was
on strike, and at ont time they had
17 inches of wates in-doors—whieh
gave them a good excuse for scrubs
bing.
