Weather Cause Floods in
Bear and Salmon River
Valleys
During the past week the heavy
rains, following the hot weather,
have raised all the streams in
the Bear and Salmon valleys
above their banks, flooding the
country on all sides. Two small
bridges on the Salmon river road,
one at Three-mile and the other
at Eleven-mile, have been washed out and the road in many
places is practicably impassable.
The wing dam built to protect
the town of Hyder is standing

town considerable protection but
despite that a number of residents, including Merle Thomas,
W. R. McDonnel, J. H. Petter-

SUIT FOLLOWS
LOSS OF ORE
Sequel To Wrecking Barge
Loaded With Premier Ore
Is Resistance by Insurance Company
F. G. T. Lucas and E. C, Mayers, attorneys of Vancouver,
came north on the Cardena from
Vancouver in connection with a
suit brought by the company
that had insured a barge-load
of Premier ore that was lost on
the 22nd of March, 1922, by the
barge capsizing a few miles south
of Anyox. The Premier company claims $17,000 damages for
the loss of the ore, and the insurance Co. are resisting on the
grounds that the barge was un-
seaworthy.
The barge was loaded with between 400 and 500 tons of second-grade silicious ore, such as

THE appo^ttmeni of two constables

this is a sound move, and fully justified by
the growth of the district, and the long
and difficult trips that now and then have
to be taken. It is a sign of the growing
importance of the place.

SIGNS OF GROWTH
THE growth of Stewart is exemplified
in the appointment of J. JP. Scarlett as
stipendiary magistrate as well as mining
recorder, likewise the appointment of two
provincial constables, with headquarters
here.
IN the case of the former appoint
ment, it is a long step forward, and rafses
the status of the community considerably,
as well as leaving only a short step to be
taken to have established here a government agency, which, while not essential
at the mement, will be a necessity within
the next two years. With the encouraging
mining development that has taken place
during the last few months, and the increased activities that go hand in hand
with it, it is only reasonable that the immense amount of work thus entailed will
soon make it more economical to centralize the district's government offices in
Stewart, instead of dividing the work up
between Stewart, Anyox and Prince Rupert, as is the case at the moment.
BY a decision taken some time ago,
and the appointment recently of a high
school teacher for Stewart, by the Board,
Stewart is rapidly assuming her rightful
place as a centre. Never in its history has
the district attained the position reached
during the past year, and if the rapidity
of growth is maintained for the next few
years, the head of Portland Canal will be
one of the most prosperous towns west of
the Rockies.

WE wonder to what sarconic and cynical thought President Coolidge has been
moved these last few days, even in the
midst of the impressive solemnity of assuming his present august station,
TEN days ago he went his modest and
silent waja, unsolicited, almost ignored. He counted little in the schemes of other men, He eould
do them no hurt, hard them no favors, smooth
for them no paths, ease for them no burdens. Even
his little group of New England friends regarded
him as a political accident whose name would probably be forgotten by the multitude before another
quadrennial had passed. Who of you can quickly
name the ticket companion of Taft? Of Roosevelt? Even Wilson's loquacious running mate is
sinking into placid oblivion.
TODAY the world ia finding sudden qualities
of greatness in Mr. Coolidge. His door is haunted
by the greedy of place and the specious of plea.
The would-be-helpers-for-a-purpoee elbow their
way to his side to thrust their aid upon him. The
sycophants fawn and the tuft hunters cringe.
Overnight friends reach forsplin-
tersof his power. Self-made i
spokesmen strive to bask in the
reflected light of his authority.
Yet he is the same man this
12th day of August that he was
on the tragic eve of August 2,
So much is man, in the eyes of
the world, the sum of himself
and his place or his possessions.
