LOCAL TOPICS
Edgar Province returned Mon
day from a visit of several
weeks in the States.
Mrs. William Gray left last
week on a trip to the south.
Dave Allen severed his con
nection with the Alaska Caie
last week and left for the south
on a vacation trip.
| J. L. Campbell, of the Camp
bell .hotel, was taken sudden
ly ill during the first days ot
last week. Dr. Whillans was
called from Stewait to attend
him and under tine latter’s ef
ficient care Mr. Campbell is
up and about again.
Magnus Meisingseth, propri
etor of the 13 mile roadhouss
on the Premier road, arrived
in town Thursday on a bus
iness trip, remaining over un- ;
til Saturday.
Unusually high tides develop
ing during the past few daya
have caused Hyder to assume
a somewhat Venetian aspect
for several hours a day during
that period.
Pete Wilson, who has been em
ployed in the engineering de
partment of the Hyder lumber
mill during the summer, leu
Monday on the Alameda for a
vacation in the states.
Ernest Crawford, Mickey
Graham and Mr. Cauley, book
keeper of the Big Missouri,
were marooned on the Big Mis
souri for more than a week by
the first big snowstorm of tne
season oecuring two weeks ago,
according to reports reaching
town in mid-week.
It appears that the three men,
with two head of horses, were
at the mine when the storm
i farted. When the storm was
over there was twelve feet of
snow on the ground and travel
impossible. As no ono seemeu
to realize their predicament,
no attempt was made to rescue
them until last Wednesday,
when a snowshoe party of
twelve men was sent over from
the Premier with food and
horse feed, to help them out.
The last reports received indi
cate that they were rescued,
none the worse from their ex
perience.
Compelled to lay to in shel
ter for several days by a
severe storm raging along the
western coast, the Hyder
Ketchikan mail boat, Prince ot
Wales, which left here on her*
lart trip November 29, did not
arrive at Ketchikan until Wed
nesday last, according to ad
vices from the latter port. The
failure of the vessel to arrive
within a reasonable time
after leaving Hyder caused
considerable anxiety in both
norts. A vessel was sent out
from Ketchikan to look for
the missing boat before she
finally appeared apparently
none the worse from her expei
ience. Owing to the delay in j
the' Wales’ arrival at Ketch- i
ikan, the power boat Banshee
took her place on the run, ,
leaving Ketchikan Friday and
arriving here Saturday even
ing with the mail.
The Marmion, one of the ves- j
sels of the fleet engaged in car-1
lying ore from the Premier ie :
the smelter, arived Wednesday
at the company dock in Hyder,
B. C.
Someone told us the other day
that he had sent out for that
voung 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 and
'station and all the fixin’s. It is
too bad to send out for suen
things when they may be
bought at THE MIDGET EM
PORIUM. Mechanical Toys of
a-variety. We will appreciate
your asking for them here.

A dramatic entertainment in
which the best talent in the j
district will be numbered in j
the cast, will be given in Stew-!
art on two successive evenings
of the present week, Thursday
and Friday, under the auspices
of the Optimists. The play, an
Oriental ensemble of songs,1
dances and a strain of comeay,
is entitled “Fantasy” and was
arranged by Miss Fraser, the
well known entertainer, who
will take ti»o loading feminine
rolei Included in the cast are
Virg.uia -LlcConkey, Helen
II 11, I ..kune Workman, laa

fort and N. Tompkins.. H.

The action takes place in an
Arabian village ruled by Mc
buba, a female sultana. The
opening scene discloses Ma- |
buba surrounded by her danc- j
ing and singing slaves. She is
warned by the Desert Woman !
of the approach of the Man
darin, Chu Chin Chow, and oi !
the exhorbitant demands he 13
likely to make on the village.
The pages announce the ap
proach of Chu Chin Chow, but
in the interval of awaiting his
coming, Squibs, an American
traveller, arrives and is mis- ;
taken for the mandarin aim
receives the reception due to 1
the former. Shortly after Chu
Chin Chow appears and on
learning that the reception due
to him had been given to an- ]
other threatens to destroy the
village and carry Mabuba to
China as his seventh wife.
Mabuba, however, induces
Chu to make an agreement to
the effect that if he can be
made to laugh by an entertain
ment to be given by her, before
the arrival of midnight, he wm
withdraw his demands. The en
tertainment proceeds but Chew
cannot even be made to smile.
At the close of the entertain
ment, Mabuba, in utter despair,
springs one of the oldest jokes
on record on the unsmiling
Chin Chu and secures the |
laugh which releases the vil
lage.
The performance will be giv
en in the hall in the Stewaia
Hotel and the curtain will rise
promptly at 8:45.
The steamship Alameda ar
rived Monday from Seattle
with a large list of passengers
for various northern ports, oi
■which four were landed here,
in addition to fifty tons of
freight. Fifteen tons of gen
eral cargo was also discharged
from the steamer at the Stew
art wharf. The vessel also
brought a quantity of mail for
this port. „
The list of passengers on the
liner was unusually large for
this time of the year. On land
ing at the Hyder Dock Comp
any dock, the passengers, witn
few exceptions, came ashore
and spent several hours taking
in the sights of Hyder,-in spite
of the deep snow. On depart
ure the vessel took several lo
cal passengers.
A number of the progressive
residents of Stew'art are con
templating incorporation of the
town in the near future anu
have started a campaign with
that object in view, which is
said to have received consider
able support and endorsement
from citizens. A meeting was
held recently at which tnej
question was discussed from |
various angles but no decisive
action was taken. The baca-:
ers of the movement hope to
secure sufficient support to;
carry the plan through next
summer.
