Today is Armistice Day—• an
niversary of one of the most
momentous days in all humrm
history. The oldsters under
stand why, but it is doubtful
if the younger generation can
even remotely realize what the
original day meant to human
ity.
Writing from his family
home in Lokken, Denmark,
Harald Hjortnas, former local
restaurant man, says he arrived
there in August and found
wonderful “California weath
er,” and conditions much bet
ter than in 'the United States,
although not very go,od at that.
Hjortnas said he did not
yet know whether he would
engage in business there or
wait until spring to see if any
thing develops in Hyder. He
sen't regards to all local friends.
Change In Marshal
Offic e Expected Soon
Early appointment of a suc
cessor to United States Mar
shal Albert White, present Re
publican incumbent of that
office, is expected in the near
future, as the Democrats are
not going to permit him to com
plete his term of appointment,
which has more than two years
to run, according to reports
from Juneau.
It is anticipated that the
change will be made soon after
January 1, if not before.
Solves Low Cost Heat Problem
N. M. Traversy, proprietor of
Traverse’s cigar store and card
room, has achieved a remark
ably low per diem cost for
heating his business establish
ment by means of an ingenious
sawdust burning apparatus of
his own devising.
Improbable as it may sound,
the device enables him to ade
quately heat his large store
premises at a cash cost of only
ten cents per day of from 16 to
18 hours. The sawdust, how
ever, is obtained free of
charge from the dumps of 'the
Hyder sawmill and the only ex
pense involved in its use is for
hauling it by truck at the rate
of 50 cents a load.
The sawdust is fed by gravity
into an ordinary heating stove
of moderate size and burns
with a bright, clear flame.
There is virtually no smoke and
practically no ash residue. A
match and a small piece of pa
per suffice to start the burner
in a few minutes time and the
stove can be heated red-hot in
a few minutes by manipulating
the drafts.
The apparatus has been in
steady operation some weeks
and has proved a complete suc
; cess from the mechanical as
well as the financial view
