Ernest Blue, local attorney j
and one of the camp’s mostj
prominent and enterprising
residents during the past ten
years, left Monday for Seattle,
where he plans to establish his
future residence.
Both as an attorney and cit
izen, Mr. Blue’s vigorous and
energetic personality will be
greatly missed.
The most severe cold spell
that has visited this section
this fall descended on Hydev
and Stewart Tuesday night,
sending the mercury down as
low as 9 degrees below zero
and causing much grief among
those who had failed to ade
quately protect their water sys
tems from the congealing em
braces of old Jack Frost.
Varying low temperatures have
prevailed up to the time of go
ing to press and the old timers
say it will stay cold until the
moon changes Monday.

Magnus Meisingseth, Hyder
pioneer and old timer of the
North, passed away in Seattle
November 17, after two years
of illness.
Mr. Meisingseth operated
the Boundary Road House here
for some years during the early
days of the camp and was one
of the best known of local resi
dents. He is survived by his
widow, a sister and two neph
ews who reside in Fairbanks,
in addition to a brother and sis
ter in Norway.
Spot silver hit the lowest
price in history on November
29, when it was quoted in New
York at 25 3-8 cents per ounce.
The previous low record was
25 3-4 cents per ounce, estab
lished in February, 1931. The
decline is said by the reports
to have been the result of con
tinued “pressure” and “liquid
ation of speculative accounts,”
which were also felt in London,
where bar silver dropped to 17
13-16 pence per ounce.
However, when the manipu
lating was over the metal
quickly recovered and was lat
er quoted at the figures pre
vailing during recent months.
The Democrats will have a
I majority of 22 in the senate
land 191 majority in the house
when the Seventy-third Cong
ress convenes in March, accord
ing to complete unofficial re
turns from the November elect
ion.
The senate will have 59 Dem
ocratic members, 36 Republic
1 an, and one Farmer-Labor par
I ty member. The house will
| have 313 Democrats, 117 Re
' publicans, and 5 Farmer-Labor
party members.
The present house contains
220 Democrats, 210 Republic
ans and one Farmer- Labor
I member, with four vacancies.
With the death of Senator
Jones of Washington, the Dem
ocrats had a majority of one in
the present senate, but this has
been offset by the election of
! Republican senators in Colo
rado and New Jersey, both to
fill unexpired terms. As a re
sult. the senate will have 48
Republicans. 47 Democrats
and 1 Farmer-Labor partyite
during the remainder of the
present Congress.
