The work of constructing houses for the married men at the Premier mine is now well way, in so far as the clearing is concerned. A large force of men are at work doing this clearing and preparing su(K.ient room for about ten bungalows. The site chosen for these houses is just below camp four. K. M. Stewart, president of the Stewart Land Co., arrived from Victoria on the25th. While here he is spending considerable lime looking over the mining activities of the companies he ia connected with, and also renew- j ing old acquaintances.

Premier Ore Shipments During two weeks the Premier shipped about 4000 tons of ore (high and low grade) and concentrates, to Anyox and Tacoma. Thus bringing the total shipments from the first of the year up to approximately 38,400 tons. In addition to this a large amount of precipitates and bullion have been shipped. Two steamers, the Anyox and Qriffeo, also several large seows, are kept busy continually handling this ore. School Honor Rolls F. N. Cronholm, a prominent civil engineer of Los Angeles, has recently spent several weeks in the district looking into the transportation problems of the upper Salmon river, and particularly that section of the valley which borders on the glacier. Primarily his mission was to look into the feasibility of utilizing this glacier for the transportation of ores from the Outland Silver Bar, which property is situated six and one-half miles up the glacier on the west side. In company with E. L. Bertholf, Mr. Cronholm made a thorough study of the whole situation, and as a result is convinced that the day is not far distant when the Salmon glacier will prove a tremendous asset to the mining industry of that section, reducing the cost of transportation to a minimum. After thorough examination he is convinced that a splendid road can be constructed down the center of the glacier by blasting full the cracks and properly marking it with stakes. This would afford a permanent highway that would be very cheap to construct and easily maintained; and of such a nature that enormous loads could be hauled over it with a minimum of motive power. Near the foot of the glacier he would suggest that the road take to the side of the mountain, retaining its elevation and thus avoiding the lift over the Texas creek pass. This would necessitate about one mile of heavy rock work. From the summit of the pass an easy grade can be obtained down the Saimon river bridge, a distance of about four miles. This latter setion of the road would not cost much to construct. Once over the Salmon I river bridge the present road to I the Premier mine would be utilized. The carrying out of 'this plan would mean the construction of tiive and one-half miles of new wagon road on the ground and about seven on the ice. As the international boundary e.iis across just above the foot of the glacier, that portion 1 of it that would be on the ground I would have to be undertaken by the United Statea government, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and that un the ice by the Brit- With the closing of the Stew- j-jh Columbia government.

No Advertising Accepted for First Page SAMUEL GOMPERS THE old chief easily holds his position as chairman and leader of the American Federation of Labor. During more than forty years of the history of the organization Mr. Gompers has not only been the head of its administration but the leader in matters of policy. He can not be called a perpetual dictator, because every year the society has the power to elect another chief in his place. Its system is thoroughly representative. So far as he has influenced the course of the federation he has done it by convincing the majority that he is rigiit. If he had been one of those presidents who try to find out what will please the members, and then take that course, he would not be a leader and would long since have guessed wrong and disappeared. Mr. Gompers has preferred to be a real leader, marking out as best he could the course to be taken and leaving the organization to determine whether he and his counsel were acceptable. He has taken counsel with governments and with the leaders of other organizations. It has always been his view that the workingmen are citizens, with their responsibilities to the state, and that tne state has responsibilities to the workingmen. While employers, corporations and governments often have occasion to complain of his views, and to recent some of his strong expressions, the communist wing of the labor organizations finds him a mare uncompromising enemy. If Mr. Gompers had been a weaker man he would have been less, decisive and contemptuous in his denunciation of Bolshevism both inKussia and America. He has not moderated in the least his hostility to the Soviet, and his insistence that th" THERE is a tendency nowadays to rely on the law to correct too many social evils, and to punish evil doers as well. Too much making men and women moral by legislation has taken away our personal responsibility for making good as well as correcting evil. The home is the gaeatest sphere for good and a vital factor in social and moral instruction. The tide of worldly evils cannot be stemmed by a police force or acts of parliament so easily as in the home. . "MARY, SWEET MARY" THE name "Mary" is going out in Canada, according to the latest statistics, and only 8 per cent of the girls bear the name. The girls of today are running to Glorianas, Gwendolyns, Guineveres, Els- peths, Odettes, Yvonnes, Peachblossoms, and such like. But there are still thousands of the best girls in the world bearing the best name in the world, despite all the falling off. BE A PROGRESSIVE THE merchant who does not advertise is as far behind the times as the old time stage coach. He plods along in the same old way, year after year, while the more progressive merchant places his wares before the public and incr?ases his business year by year. Persistent advertising has made millions for many progressive merchants, who recognized the value of advertising from the first day they sturted business. LAW TOO EXPENSIVE THE members of the Vancouver Bar Association heard recently from Joseph Martin. K. C, who was their guest at a luncheon in the Hotel Vancouver. Mr. Martin spoke on the question of tariff of fees and snid that they were far too heavy, both in the interests of the lawyers and of the general public.

News, $5 Year I smoke my grand old pipe by day, I keep it going half the night; and moralists come up and say, "Such dissipation is a fright; the young behold you as they pass, and then for briar pipes they yearn, in which to smoke buds, leaves and grass, or any herbage that will burn." I've cutout all the ancient sins that blemished once my wide renown; I have foresworn imported gins, the pallid beer and porter brown. My conduct is so pure and nice it might become a king or queen; no longer do I shake the dice, or plap the creeking slot machine. I've cut out cards and dominoes, and crokinole, and all such games; I read good books while graudmagoes to play bridge whist with other dames. I know that wickedness is vain, I know my old time course was rank; it's long since I've robbed a train, or pulled a gunplay in a bank. I've cut out all the evil things, except the pipe that soothes my soul, and now the moralists, by jings. would see the briar in the hole. And that's the trouble, all the time, with those good souls who lead crusades; shey'd make this old world so sublime that all its comsort wilts and fades. They know know not when it's time to stop, since they have squelched tha Demon Rum; soon we'll be pinched for sipping pep, or chewing fragrant sticks of gum. ���Walt Mason, PIONEER HALL, ��� HYDER, AUSKA SATURDAY your town and you What do you owe your own town? There is a fact which is often overlooked by citizens in general, namely, that they owe something to the town in which they live. The* sidewalks you walk on, the streets you drive on, your fire protection; these and many other things were obtained by the constructive effort and foresight of others. __Some of us go on year after year, partaking of the benefits which the town affords, but undertaking none of the responsibilities which it imposes. We are only too free and willing to comment on and criticize the actions of others; but when it comes down to taking a hand, we are not among the number. We allow others to be school JULY 8,1922 i*y "THE PAGAN GOD' Featuring H. B. WARNER "Howling Lions and Circus Queens" (COMEDY) SELZNICK NEWS SHOW AT 8 P.M. SHARP W. R. McDONNELL, Operate trustees, but send children to the schools; we allow others to do all the boosting for the town, but eagerly criticize their mistakes; we allow others to do all the work in the citizens' asssoci- ation, and feel free to disparage their activities; we take the advantages, but get from under the obligations; and then say to ourselves: "This is a dead town." A town composed of critics and drones is bound to be dead, it cannot be otherwise. Critic, izing alone never made anything; finding fault alone never brings results; it takes a constructive effort to build anything. Sacrifice a little of your own time for the benefit of the rest of the citizens. It is not actually a sacrifice but a duty which you owe the rest of the public and yourself for the advantages you will receive.

In it he should bury all of his mean I thoughts, his hatreds, his ani- mosities and evil aspirations; and bury them deep so that there can be no resurrection. If you hear a bit of malicious gossip, bury it deep. If you have been nursing a feeling of hatred toward somebody for years���then bury it. And when you have finally filled vour grave yard with the worst that was in you��� you will find the world and all that goes to make it a much better place than ever before. Common sense is so called because it isn't. If you are physically soft you can't be mentally hard. m .mm The Poor Simp You asked me why I'm mad at him, I guess you haven't heard��� H-�� promised not to kiss me and I The poor boob kept his word.
