UD HAS BEEN
PUT ON WIDE
OPENHYDER
• “The lid has been clamped upon
Hyder, the dance halls are closed and
gambling and drinking have been de
clared illegal. When I left, ten days
ago, there were about 125 people at
Hyder and about 100 at Stewart, -on
* the British Columbia side. If Hyder
had remained wide open for three
more months that place would have
boasted of at least 20,000 people, but
now the last frontier town in Alaska
is tight.”
That, in short, is the story of Hyder
brought by H. A. Bowers, tonsorial
artist and mining man, who has re
turned from the South.
^ “Old sourdoughs would have enjoyed
the sight in Hyder as I had first,” said
Mr. Bowers. “The town was wide
open, whisky and 7 to 16 per cent
beer was being sold at the many bars.
Girls were there, too, either dancing
or soliciting drinks at the bar. Pianos
were thumped, roulette, blackjack and
faro were being played.
“Then all of a sudden John Ronan,
former senator from Seward, was ap
pointed deputy marshal, and he re
1 ceived word to close everything.
"Ronan went around and told the
various proprietors that the lid was on
and to forget the past.
( “Bang! went the lid, and hundreds
could not get away from Hyder fast
enough. Many went to Stewart, one
mile away and just across the border.
There everything seems to be wide
^pen.
“Hyder is in a hard-rock territory.
It is a different camp from the placer
camps, and all who think of going
there should be cautious.” !

DO YOU 0
TO CHURCH?
IF NOT, THEN WHY NOT?
Are you one of those who blame
society for the present unrest, and say
the church is not doing its duty? Then
wrhy not get into the church and do
your part? The church needs men
with ideas to carry it forward. Many
men today are following the ethics of
Christ although not professing Chris
tians, because they know He was
right. That being so, why not sup
port His church and your time will
be well spent You say you attended
the church in the States? Why not in
