Knocking Won’t Harm
Those of oiu* citizens who
appreciate the value of the
forthcoming Alaska - British
Columbian international cele
bration to the town and district
are deeply resentful of the
“knocking” attitude adopted i
by a certain element of the
community.
While the tendency to throw
cold Water on a project which
promises to bring to the dis-1
trict not only invaluable ad
vertising and many outside
visitors, but also considerable
money which would not other
wise come here is to be de
plored, it is foolish to let one’s j
self believe that it can do the
slightest harm.
It is noticable that those
who are doing the knocking j
are made up mainly of th* .
most inconsequent elements o 1
the community; good souls i
perhaps, at bottom, but people
who aside from pursuing theii
own little and oft-times de
vious ways never do much oi
anything for the community o;
themselves.
One need do no more thai
to listen to their absurd arg
uments and innuendoes against
the celebration to realize that
such pusillanimous chatter can
have not the slightest effect or,
the ultimate outcome of the
big project. Being of such
type, that neither their acts 01
words are of material conse
quence to anyone but them
selves, it would matter little
with respect to the celebratioi
even were they wholly in favoi
of it and spent all their time
boosting for it.
One cannot consider them a
other than harmless example
of that common type of genu
homo which consoles itself fo
its own shortcomings and lacl
of initiative by belittling the
energy and progress of other's
Thankfully the success of the
1
celebration is not dependent
upon them in the slightest de
gree and it is the part of wis
dom and charity to pay no at
tention to their vaporings, for
they mean nothing at all.

Risking Too Much
While sharing the universal
admiration for Col. Lind
bergh’s courage and skill as
an aviator, we cannot help
feeling that in his proposed
flight across the Pacific with
Mis. Lindbergh he is risking
too much.
Conceding that two adult
persons have the right to risk
their lives in any manner they
choose, we are thinking of the
Lindbergh baby, who would be
left motherless and fatherless
if disaster should befall his
>arent in their daring enter
prise.
Mrs. Lindbergh has demon
strated her own bravery and
kill in the air to an extent
vhich should satisfy anyone.
nto possible practical benefit
■an come to the science and
irt of flying by her taking the
| lesparate risk of a trans
| Jacific flight. Even the great
| Lindbergh is only human and
le may tempt fate once too
j often.
However, we wish the brave
air luck in their proposed
light, although we consider
the hazards involved entirely
mt of proportion to anything
f benefit which it may ac
| omplish if successful.
Anenl the Moratorium
(From the Vancouver Sun
Overheard on No. 12 street
ar: “Yeah, this Hoover mora
orium idea is pretty slick all
ight . . . the biggest stock
narket stunt they’ve ever
ried .... Bruening tips Me
Donald, and McDonald slips
the word to Hoover . . . then
the big financial shots in New
Yory and London, Berlin and
iParis set themselves for the
killing. . . . Wall Street cracks
the whip, Hoover jumps and
whee-e-e-e goes the market. . .
Millions for the international
speculators, but what do I gei
out of it? . . . Yeah, an’ then
prob’ly France will turn it
down.”

From the Hyder Alaska Miner
July 13, 1931
Power was turned on last
week at the Premier concen
trating mill and the perform
ance of the new plant is en
tirely satisfactory to the man
agement. The mill is built foi
a normal daily capacity of
100 tons and is the first unit
of a much larger plant which
the company contemplates
building.
A large shipment of supplies
for the Fish Creek Mining Co.
arrived and is now on its way
up to the property. Harry Tan
ner, manager, reports that a
good pack trail has been com
pleted from the camp to the
upper showing and an addi
tional camp will be started
here.
Sam Silverman is contradict
ng reports that the Forty
nine has been sold to the Gug
genheim’s. He says he intends
to keep it and work it himself.
The Albert brought in 35
tons of cable for the Premier
tram, which was shipped from
New Jersey through the Pan
ama Canal on one of the ships
jf the Dollar line to Vancouver
and transferred there. The
large reels of cable weigh 5
‘ons each and the smaller ones
about 3,000 pounds. Eighty
buckets of one-half ton cap
acity have also arrived and 45
more are required.
When Bill Murphy started
work at Six-mile he intended
doing nothing more than as
sessment work. However, he
ran into a shoot of highgrade
and will spend at least a
month opening it up.
Last Saturday evening com-;
missioner John T. Reed unil
d in marriage Mrs. Eleanor j
G. Nichols and Albert J. May-'

heavy snow of next winter. One
hundred and forty men are
now on the job. The ordinary
towers between the wharf and j
Fish Creek, a distance of about
5 miles, are all up and the ten-j
