W. G. Johnson of the Juneau
Hardware company, who visited Hy- j
der on his way to Seattle recently,
writes to W. A. Clark of Juneau
the following observations about the
place: |
j “I spent three hours in Hyder,
talking with everybody in the camn. j
They all have great hopes, but hope
will be all until they get some'
mines on the American side of the j
’ line. The old town is built on set
piles over the tidelands and all of
the building so far is being done on
piles. Eight buildings are in course !
of construction.
“The Lindborg addition connects1
with the old townsite and any build- I
ings put up there will have to be set
;
,on piles also, as the country, just
at the town, is very flat and the
tide backs up to the foothills,
i “There is one small store, the
Salmon River Trading company, a
branch of Stewart. They are put
ting up a new building about 40 by
40. There is a great need of a
general store, but at present a j
| straight hardware store would
starve to death, as the Canadians
have a customs house at the boun
1
dary and this forces all trade of
the mines into Stewart.
I “Stewart is a very small place
'with about 12 buildings, two stores
land a hotel, and they expect and
i
j will get the business. The largest
■stock carried is about $20,000 in
general merchandise and they buy
from Vancouver.*’

' Vick DeCourt, the wrestler, who
has been spending the summer at
Kassan. is getting ready to go south
again, and serves notice on Ketchi
kan fans if they want to see a
match to get their local champion
ready.
The -Juneau Empire states that,
with the fishing season about over,
many natives are returning to town
after working the season fishing,
with money in their pockets, and
they are not averse to spending it.
One native daughter was observed
in a jitney, who tucked the laprobe
about her silk stockings, pulled up
the collar of her fur coat and mur
mured, “Home, James." with all the
grace and dignity of a dowager.
The natives also occupy the most
expensive seats at the better shows.

DIVORCE INCREASES
AT ALARMING RATE
IN UNITED KINGDOM
LONDON'.—Divorce is increasing
throughout the United Kingdom at
an alarming rate, according to a
White paper. The total for 1898
was 650. For 1917 it was 1,705,
with the greatest increase recorded
in the years between 1914-17.
Another development which the
government views with alarm is the
number of actions brought by hus
bands. Where once the petitioner
| was usually a woman, the past few
years have so changed the situation
that in 1917 the number of hus
bands seeking separation was 1,067.
as compared with 638 wives.

Nenana, Nov. 11, 1918.
Editor Nenana News: The writer
of this letter is one of the bad. j
bold bandits ? .' ? who deserted ? ? \
post ten days ago.
1 read an article in The News |
concerning us (the deserters), in:
which you stated, or at least your! ■
reporter stated, that we “were not
inclined to talk of our case." That
statement is false-—for both of us
are waiting anxious to tell our story i
to some SENSIBLE person, prefer- j
ably an officer of the U. S. army. j
The cause of our little HUNTING i
EXPEDITION is no mystery among
the majority of the soldiers: also
several citizens of this town know j
the reason of our act.
We would like to say that we are I
NOT deserters—would not enter- ,
tain, for one moment, the thought 1
of deserting. We wish to say tha ■ : ’
we have been treated exceedingly
kindly bv the citizens of this town
i
during our two months' stay.
With respect, we are.
