Last year at this time the tcf^n was lighted with coal oil or gasoline lamps, which have since been discarded for-the more modern electric light, and even street lights, though modest, are in evidence. Another modern convenience added during the year is a water supply, which has been taken advantage of by a number of people. This winter Stewart has, in addition to a number of new business houses a doctor, a dentist, and other accessories that go to j make modern civilization. Other significant signs of growth are two first-class (mail boats a week and 61 children under 161 j years of age, who will be present at the 'annual Christmas tree. In addition, a winter sports club has been organized. Taken al! in all, Stewart has perhaps made greater progress during the past year than any other community of its size in the Province; and the year 1924 promises a still greater development, a year during which Stewart will settle into its stride j toward beooming, in a few years, the most j prosperous and progressive community, in proportion to its population, of any town CAROLAN'S GENERAL STORE Groceries Hardware Men's Clothing Mining Supplies ^PROFESSIONal^^ \C- Laud surv STEWART, i, I SALMON RIVER BANKING COMPANY HYDER, ALASKA (Incorporated Under tho Laws of Alaska) 4 PER CENT Paid on Savings Bank Accounts Canadian Funds Accepted on Deposit.

HON. THE MINISTER 01 MINKS. Victoria, British Columbia Stewart people are wondering why they cannot, in the winter, have regular telegraphic communication with the outside. The answer is easy. The reason is that headquarters, Ottawa, do not realize the conditions under which this line must be maintained. Between Stewart and Anyox are 54 miles of wire ���the longest section in the whole Dominion telegraph system for two men to maintain, and the hardest, because of the precipitous mountain sides, and the deep, soft snow that is indigenous to this district. The maintenance men are also said to be the potest paid of any on the line. Some time ago a requ. st was put in for a new boat, and one was provided; but the operators now wish that they had the old one back, because the new one provides no accommodation for living quarters. It is only 20 feet long and the boys, when they are in port, must eat and sleep "up town." Worse than that, if they are caught in a storm down the canal, (as happens frequently) they are forced to ero ashore and camp in the snow. They work hard to keep up this line and provide the pubic with a service to which it is entitled. They should not be compelled to "siwasbK" like a pairof derelict prospectors. They should! be provided with the means for1 properly doing their work���and the most important of these is a suitable boat. Oh do not deride the home paper.
