HYDER ALASKA M.NER

W. R. Hull-Editor
A newspaper whose purpose is to tell

iest town in the northland, and the
native resources which are responsible

ember 4, 1919, at the post office at
Hyder. Alaska, uuder the Act of
March 3, 1879.
Sent anywhere for $5 a year.

HYDER, ALASKA, Sept. 20. 1922
PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH j
A telegram from Washington
says: “Undiscovered lakes in Alas
ka are to be discovered and photo
graphed by aeroplane." This is but
one of forty thousand fool proposi
tions in which government money
which is paid in by the people is
wasted—but one of forty thousand
fool propositions that is bankrupt
ing the United States. The pur
pose is said to be the discovering
of sources of water power of which
there is already ten times more
discovered than will be utilized in
the next fifty years. That board
of general officers at Washington
whose function it is to “prune” the
various departments, cut off dead
limbs and eliminate excess baggage
certainly has a job on its hands if
there is as much money squandered
per capita elsewhere as in Alaska.
If ten per cent of the money spent
in junketing trips by heads of bur
eaus, sub-bureaus, commissions and
special agents in Alaska was spent
in developing the country, there'
would be something to show for
the expenditure.—Stroller’s Weekly
Taking a stroll last Thursday, the
editor of this paper came to Hyder's
cemetary, two and one-half miles
up the Salmon valley road, and in
the dank woods of the river bottom.
Having been there before, acting in
the capacity of pall-bearer, the
scribe knew where to look for the
site, which is unmarked save for a
blaze on a tree, upon which there
is no inscription, and which might
stand for a guide to anything or
nothing. A moss grown trail leads
from the road to “God’s Acre", but
the entrance to this trail has bean
obliterated by a pile of logs and
| brush, by whom placed there, we
do not know, nor does it matter
mUob, so long as the shameful fact
is a fact. We could not help but
wonder What expedient a funeral
cortege would now employ to trans*
! port a casket from the road to its
burial place.
there rtiUst be something pecul
iar about the air, or the water, or
something, in Ketchikan. Awhile
back a gfatid jury there Was going
to amend the tidnadikn liqUor laws
add ddW the chaitiblF Of codidierce
is going Id change the lhternaiibnal
boundry line So that it will not
interfere with a ptopoSed cablefrohi
Seattle. Now We kndw how the
District Attorney got that way: Hfe
died to live in Ketchikan:
We are in receipt of Bulletin No.
1 of the Alaska Agricultural Col
lege and School of Mines at Fair
banks, issued for the purpose of
giving general information concern
ing tfae college and courses of study.
Later in the year a catalogue will
be published. Tuition is free, and
five regular courses of study are
offered: Agriculture, Home Econ
omics, General Science, Civil Engi
neering and Mining Engineering.
Special short courses in Agricul
ture, Home Economics and Mining |
Engineering to meet the practical |
problems of tnose desiring instruc
tion along these lines will be an-1
nounced at a later date. To be Is
admitted to the special courses,
graduation from a high school is
not required. The aim in this re
gard is to give to the residents of
the Territory the greatest amount
of service possible along practical
lines.
Without presuming to dictate to
the government of British Colum
bia, (Hyder is not Ketahikan,)
would we be de trop if we suggested /
that the royalties received from
the Premier might logically be
used in the construction of roads
and trails to other properties in the
same district? Road Foreman Geo.
A. Young told the Miner at the
wharf last week that the completion
of the road to the Big Missouri de
pended upon the money available.
Surely the B. C. government has
collected enough in royalties from
the Premier alone to complete this
road. And by so doing they would
be creating another sourse of rev*
enue for their coffers, for the Big
Missouri, were transportation afford
ed, would ship ore and commence
paying royalties.
Simple way for Hyder to over
come any question arising out of
boundry line crossings is just Jo
take a leaf out of Ketchikan's book '
and have the boundry line changed
to suit the situation.
