Mrs. Sidney Anderson of the
Fish Creek roadhouse shot a
large coyote near her place
last week. She broke the ani
mal’s neck with a single rifle
shot. The coyote possessed a
finely furred pelt which will
make an excellent rug. Mrs.
Anderson says she frequently
sees wolves and coyotes on the
mountainsides near the road
house but seldom close enough
to shoot them.
There will be a partial eclipse
of the moon on January 30th,
according to the astronomers.
Although invisible in the
United States, it will be seen
in the northwesterly sections
of the continent.
The infant daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Henry R. Cross has
been named Ruth Irene, ac
cordingtoreports from Juneau.
Walter C. Blanton, former
local business and mining man,
expects to pay Hyder a visit
ehortly after the first of the
month, according to a letter
from him received by the Her
ald this week.
During the past two years,
the genial Walter has been
operating the Blue Fox Cafe,
rant. He wrote that he has
managed to “get by” in spite
of the depression, and two
spells of severe illnesslastyear,
and feels “mighty thankful.”
He has not, however, lost his
interest in Hyder and stated
that he would like to get back
here again.
As a result of the numerous
sn,ow slide)?. Thursday a/nd
Thursday night, the headwat
ers of Portland Canal from
below the Marmot River to
to Stewart resembled the Arc
tic Ocean and Bering Sea in
Spring, when the ice floes
cover the sea in far-spreading
patches of snow and ice.
Million? of tons of snow hurt,
ling down from the lofty
mountains along the easterly
shores of the Canal, covered
the water with an almost solid
mass o*f white and created a
decidedly Arctic aspect.
Observers of one immense
slide on Mt. Rainey, report a
curious phenomena in the
shape of a tremendous and
violent puff of wind which
came sweeping across the Can
al as the vast mass of sniovz in
the descending avalanche
struck the water. The air
blast is said to have been so
strong that the witnesses were
almost blown aff their feet,
despite the fact that they were
almost two miles from the
point where the .slide struck
the water.

It is not often that newspaper
subscribers think to compli
ment their home town paper'
regarding the service it rend
ers their community. As a
usual thing they are prone to
overlook such virtues as it may
possess but are not the least
bit backward in pointing out
its failure to be 100 per cent
perfect. Hence we were very
agreeably surprised this week
to receive the following tribute
from a local subscriber:
“I appreciate the local news.
You are doing very well to
be able to send out as good a
paper with the scanty field
from which to pick up news.”
We were also grateful for
the bill he enclosed in renew
ing his subscription, and ex
tend our sincere thanks for
both the cash and the compli
ment.

“Stamp Tax” For Duck
Hunters la Proposed
Duck hunters may soon be
compelled to pay a govern
mental tax for indulging in
that form of sport, if plan? now
under consideration in Wash
ington become effective. These
would take the form of a
“stamp tax” of $1 to be as
sessed each year on those who
kill ducks.
The object of the plan is to
provide one million dollars a
year to be used for the creation
of reserves for the protection
and preservation of wild fowl, j
which are declining in numbers
very rapidly. President Roose
velt is said to favor such
action.
