AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Teds newspaper is not connected in any manner with any
stock brokerage firm cr other establishment associated in or
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
tormation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
A Pleasing Compliment
The action of a number oi
prominent Stewart and Hyder,
B. C., residents in becoming
members of the Hyder Chamb
er of Commerce provides not
only a most gratifying display
of interest in the efforts of the
local organization to further
the interests and welfare ot
the district but is also a most
unusual example of intei
national citizenship and amity.
As residents of an aliei:
country and a foreign land
tiiese Canadian members couk
hardly be expected to posse?;
more than a passing interes,
in the affairs of this American
community and district. Tha
they should be affiliated witl
organizations or movement
whose ob'ect is the improve
ment of conditions in thei’
own town or district, is quite
to be expected. Such actio
indicates progressive citizen
ship and is usually followed
by most good citizens. But that
they should so far extend those
qualities, as to become affiliat
ed with civic organization of
a town and district outside of
their own country and to dis
play a most vigorous inclina
tion to become active workers
may lo considered as little
short of lemarkabls. While it
is true that between the Hyder
and Stewart districts there is
an unusual nmtality of interest,
as well as closer business and
personal relationships than or
dinarily exist along interna
tional boundaries, it is never
theless a fact that these Can
adian gentlemen by becoming
members of our Chamber of
Commerce and lending their
efforts, to furthering the splen
did work it is doing for thi.
town and district, have not on
ly paid us a splendid compli
ment but have also provided
us with an example of a citi
zenship unfettered by limita
tions of shh’es and baliwicks
end boundaries that is pleas
ing to behold.
Hydci’s Prosperity Assured
Those who have definitely
cant their fortunes with those
>f Hyder need have no feat
regarding: the future of thi.
carnp. Silver will come bach
before long, because the wi • -
r.e’s of finance and commerce
and industry are commencing
o recognise that it is nocessar'
'■> the world’s future prosper
ty, and when that happen •,
; nobably sooner than most I
is anticipate, raining here
vill prosper a-: never before. '
A -■ to the present business
, lepression, remember that w
re only sharing with the res'
if the world what is conceded
o be a purely transitory con
| lition resulting from pcc diai
, listurbances of economic law,.
\s the fall of silver is one . f j
.he primary causes of this con -:
! lition, it will be speedily dis-!
| ipated by the inevitable res
toration of the white metal to
its former position and useful
ness in the world’s monitary
affairs.
And there are other things
1 on the horizon of Hytier’s fut
ure of even greater promise,
(however much the pessimists
may scoff at the statement,
-here are many logical reas
ons for believing that Hyder
: is destined to become within
a few years one of the most
important towns in Alaska.
This forecast is based not alone
on the certainty that mining
1 will prosper but upon the
equally assured prospect that
• Hyder will ultimately become j
j the terminus of a great trans
continental railway system.
World trade conditions and
i the steadily increasing de
mands for more rapid trans
portation of commodities ne- i
cessitate the early construction
of additional Pacific outlets,
in order that the products of
Canadian and America \ manu
facture and agriculture may b<
moie effectively distributed to
that greatest of all the world’s
b u yi n g rn ar k e t s—t h e t r a n s
Pacific countries.
With the restoration of silvei
valuer, these lands, at present
sadly impoverished as a result
of the silver depreciation, are
practically certain to enter up
on a vendable orgy of buying
which will necessitate greatly
increased sail and ship trans
portation to keep adequate
pace with their market de
mands.
Being situated almost exactly
on the line of the shorte.-d
trans-Pacific ship route, Hydei
is nearly two days nearer the
Orient than any other port on
the Pacific Coast, exeepi
Prince Kupert, where trans
continental rail connection-4
can be economically establish
ed.
It is also equally certain that
with the construction of the
great: Pacific-Ala:-,ka highway
this district, with its marvel
3us scenic and climatic beau
dies, will become a summer
! plavgi ound for thousands of
automobile tourists who have
| not the time or means to make
: the far longer journey neces
sary to visit other parts of
Alaska. A branch road from
the Pacific-Alaska highway j
less than 50 miles in length
will open this region to the j
great-flood tide of tourist traf-!
fic which is certain to follow
he opening of the great hign-:
way. That this branch will be
built is as certain as is the con
.'traction of the big highway
itself and with its construction
still another source of p'ros
periy will come to Hyder,
which may equal or even ex
cel! all others.
