AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
The projected visit to Hyder
of a party of Ketchikan busi
ness men may be looked for
ward to with pleasurable an
ticipations by local business in
terc">' ?s it will undoubtedly
result in wide benefits to an
concerned through the pro
motion of a better understand
ing of the mutuality of inter
est possessed by the business
elements of both towns.
Every present indication
points to an increasing com
mercial traffic between the
communities as time goes
on.
Regardless of how much Hy
der may deal with other cent
ers. Ketchikan will undoubt
edly continue to be the source
of q’n'ck supply for his com
munity for years to corne.
Thus every inebrease in lo
in local development and pop
r! ti v will redound to the
benefit of Ketchikan’s com
nrce and increase that town’s
prosperity.
A* a result of this condition
''h° interests of the two com
munities are to a great extent
identical; hence a complete
understanding between their
various business elements is
much to be desired.
There can be no more effi
cacious means of bringing
about this beneficial condition
than by a personal visit by
Ketchikan’s business leaders,
most of whom, although
doubt'eos much interested in
Hyder, know at present ver>
h'ttle about the town and even
less of the great mineral re
sources which insure its pres
ent and future prosperity.

At the close of the present
week this great land of ours
w'll lay aside the multiform
activities of every-day life and
devote itself to observance of
the day devoted to the meni
ory of the nation’s heroic dead.
On far flung battle fields they
lie and although we of Amei
ica alone will on that day
cheer for those who fought
but fell not, there will be tears
shed for our dead in many
lands and under many flags.
God bless them all—the living
and the dead. May there be
cheers for the living as long
as the last survivor remain,
may there be sorrow for the
dead until the end of time.
“Soldier, rest, thy warfare
o’er,
! Dream of fighting fields no
; more,
i Sleep the sleep that knows
no breaking,
| Morn of toil ,or night of wak
j ing.’’
Yes, rest in peace ye mighty
dead. Those whose freedom
you helped to preserve bless
and revere thy memory. The
| liberty which you by valiant
| deeds and life’s greatest sacri
! fice helped to maintain re
mains the heritage of your
deseendants until the judg
ment day. So iong ns those
who live preserve your mem
ory, liberty, equal rights and
justice shall not perish from
the earth. This is your great
reward, your highest tribute;
the deathless endowment of
your noble sacrifice.
---o
Advertising will ruin you--if
you let your competitor do it
all. Then too, while waiting
for your ship to come in, it
might be a receivership.

Yes, dear reader, the average
editor lives a nice quiet life
amidst peace and plenty. Has
it ever occured to you that the
more he labors to uplift his
community, the more are his
motives questioned? That if he
takes a hand in local politics,
he is accused of being crook*
ed? That if he ddes not, he is
accused of being a, coward?
That if he advocates public
improvements, he is condemn
ed and his motives under sus
picion? That if he stands for
law and order, he is charged
with truckling to the preach
ers? That if he takes a stand
for prohibition, he is denounc
ed as a fanatic? That if he ad
vocates light wines and beer,
he is branded as a bad citizen
-or a wine bibber? That if he
roasts the mail-order house,
he is told to mind his own busi
ness, that the people have a
right to buy where the>
please? That if he prints mail
order advertisements, the mer
chants land on him with both
feet? That if he tries to dis
cuss fairly the merits of pub
lic utility corporations, he is
accused of being owned by
them? That the life of the av
erage editor is indeed made
exceedingly pleasant? That ir
the people would only realize
the truth, they would boost the
editors? That they are among
the greatest community lead
ers we have? That the growth
of your city means your suc
jcess? That you need him a&
much as he needsyou? That
without him your community
would probably soon be num
bered among the dear depart
ed.

Many a bob-haired girl of to
day will be the non-paired
woman of tomorrow.
How true it is that people
“run” into debt and then try
to “crawl” out
Dancing is all right But
Merl says he saw it make a
girl lose her good looks. He
says she left them on a man's
shoulder.
There can’t be harmony with
everybody trying to do a sold,
according to the Blueberr>
Kid.
Distant relatives are often
those who have money and
know you ne§d it.

An old farmer and his wife
lived near the village church.
One warm Sunday evening
while they sat dozing on the
porch, the crickets set up a
loud chirping.
“I just love that chirpin'
noise,” said the old man
drowsily, and before the crick
est had stopped he was fast
asleep.
Soon afterward the church
choir broke into a beautiful
chant. “Just listen to jthat,”
exclaimed the wife, "ain’t that
beautiful?”
“Yes,” murmured the old
farmer sleepily, “they do that
with their hind legs.”
The following is a copy of a
letter received some years ago
from an out-of town customer
J of the Lally Company, of San
Francisco.
San Leandro, 6 june.
“Mister Lali House, San fran
cisco. Der friend, i got the val
