A raft of saw logs contain
ing about 450,00 feet of timber
arrived from the Ketchikan
district Wednesday evening
and willjbe converted into lum
ber by the Hyder sawmill as
trade demands.
Mrs. J. L. Campbell of Hy
der, who was operated on in
the St. Vincent hospital in Port
land, recently, is now out of the
hospital and making excellent
progress toward complete re
covery from her recent illness,
according lio letters received by
local friends this week.
Mrs. Campbell stated she ex
pects to return home about the
first of June.
A note of appreciation for
the service rendered by the Hy
der Herald to its patrons comes
from Hans G. Mross, former
Texas creek prospector, who,
in renewing his subscription,
bestows much gratifying praise
as follows:
“Let me assure you that I
dislike to miss a single copy of
this Alaskan n . w: paper, be
cause it always contains some
thing valuable or even price
less in information. It not only
keeps me well posted as to lo
cal progress and occurences,
but it also publishes important
news of other parts of Alaska.
“Your frequent articles about
Alaskan commerce give me
often a veiy efficient means cif
settling arguments with stub
born pessimists. The recent
installments of the radio ad
dress of Sena'or Burton K.
Wheeler on s lyer, and the art
icles o n “What Deflation
Means,” were alone worth to
me the price .of the years sub
scription.”
Praise such as Mr. Mross so
kindly bestows is indeed grati
fying to the newspaper man.
Few ever think to praise his ef
forts, but if he makes an er
ror every ons in townhastensto
tell him about it and call him
seventeen kinds of a blanked
fool behind his back.

The following new officials

The governmental retrench
ment policy hit the local office
of United States Commissioner
and Deputy Clerk of the Dist
rict Court today, when John H.
Dunn, District Court Clerk, ad
vised Commissioner Chas. F.
Sandford that no funds are
available f o r salaries o f
deputy clerks and some other
petty court officals, who must,
therefore, be placed on indefi
nite furlough. As a result
there is now no fixed compen
sation attached to the Commis
sioner’s office. Office rent, fuel
and light allowances were dis
continued some time ago.
The only piesent remuneration
of the Commissioner is the
small fee allowed for perform
ing various transient services
for the public or government.
The salary foimerly attached
to the office of deputy clerk
was $40 per month.
In announcing the cutting off
of salary Clerk Dunn expressed
the hope of Judge Harding
that Mr. Sandford would con
tinue in the Commissioner’s of
fice despite the absence of
a regular wage.
Cabbage, Cauliflower and Let
tuce plants now ready. Smith,
the Gardener, Stewart, B. C.
Although the weather man is
still displaying signs of uncer
tain temper, spring gardening
is getting under way in the up
per townsite and in two or
three instances early planted
“garden sass” is already show
ing verdant outcrops. The
garden of Joe Meyer, profess
ional gardner, shows some well!
advanced lettuce and other!
quick growing varieties which
will soon be ready for market
it the favorable weather of the
past three or four days contin
ues.
A number of householders
have their potatoes in but seed
is said to be scarce, despite the
large potato crop last year, and
■°me have not been able to
start their spud crop.
Inquiry reveals that lettuce,
chard, carrots, turnips, beets,
Peas and potatoes are the fav
orites ot most gardeners, al
though some have planted a
more extensive variety.
Mrs. Oren F. Hill, while not
- going in for garden truck, has
laid out an extensive flower
garden on the lot between her
drug store and the Provinso
general store. Judging by the
wide variety of her planting,
this should become a highly
attractive spot later in the seas
on.
