that his mission was to oppose the
scheme. European comment was that
the adoption OF the plan would mean
standardization upward for every ma
ton except America And In this
country the point was made that to
place all seamen on the same wage
level would put the American sailor at
decided disadvantage, in that his pay
would not go 30 far as the others, be-
,, cause OF the lower living costs in other
countries. It was also pointed out that
Standardization Of seamen's wages must

Light System Delayed.

It was hoped that before this Hyder would be sporting electric lights, and that the increa in membership in the High Dive Club would thereby be ma- terially reduced, but there has been a hitch in the Lrog am through the dy- namo being found faulty, necessitating It's being sent out to Ketchikan for repairs.
 Messrs. Mcdonnell, Jamieson and Reid of the A askan Hotel are putting Tn plant at the rear of the hotel in a building which has been especially built for the heavy machinery. It will be steam plant, with a dynamo of sufficient size to light not only the big hotel but at least half dozen other ousines houses as well, and will ma- tefiaiiy cut down the light bills as we'll as considerably lessen the fire risk.

CLOTH HER FINISHES INSPECTION
 HERE
Says Camps of Salmon River Section are Best
 He Ever Saw

Geo. A. Clothier, examining engineer for the B. c. Bureau of Mines for Di- vision No. l, has finished with his sea-. sons work in the Portland Canal dis trict and went out to Prince Rupert yesterday. He has still to examine the Surf Inlet mine on Princess Royal Is- land as we'll as number of coast and Queen Charlotte Island properties. He says that all the working mines up the Salmon have exceptionally fine camps, everything possible having been done for the comfort and convenience of the men.
 MT. Clothier spent a month in the district this time, and checked up de- velopment on all the working proper ties of the Salmon, Bear and Ma1no rivers, Speaking of transportation he stated that he considered the Marmot river camp about the most accessible in the district. Some portions of the roads in all districts are dangerous at certain times of the year, but the Mar mot vii be no worse than any of the others.

UNIQUE CLUB
 FORMED HERE

One of the most unique organizations in history is the High Dive Club of Hyder, which has come into spontan. eou being on account of number of our citizens going through the initiation service invo untarily. The initiation consists in taking flyer from any part Of the streets or alleys into the tldefiats below, preferably at night and when the tide is out.
 Tsis is a most collaborating exper7 and is said by those who have tried it to beat the initiation into the K.P.,I. O.O.F., R.P.O.E., or any other old and time worn organization.
 The membership of the High Dive club Is most democratic, no restrictions as to nationality be ng imposed, and even the members of the fair and deadlier Sex may join. In fact one has already qualified, and will undoubt- edly be elected corresponding secre- tary at the next meeting.

Nice Ore from Motherlode.

Some of the best ore seen recently from the Salmon River section was brought down last week from the Motherlode group, which was located during the summer by A. w. Balzimer and Patrick Mcbride. The group is situated about two miles from the Bio Missouri cabin over the glacier and comprises six claims. A shipment of nifty pounds ot the ore is being sent to parties interested in Vancouver. The Erincipal value in the ore is silver. but there IS some gold and considerable lead. Three veins have been found on the property, two of them of high grade. An assay as high as s14s ton has been obtained. Although the prop- erty is situated over the glacier, trans portation presents no problems, it is stated, for the glacier is dead and smooth.

Spider Changes Hands.

The Spider group, which few weeks ago produced some sensationally rich silver ore from narrow vein. has been sold to interests represented by w. A. Melloche, of New York. The Spider was bonded last fall to R. w. Wood and E. J. Trites, of Fernie, the bond being turned over by R. w. Martin, of Seattle. When Mir. Trites was here re- gently he threw up the bond for some reason or other after about $lO,OOO worth of the highgrade had been taken out.
 The owners, Hamilton and Carlson, were made several tentative offers, and finally made deal with MT. Melloche. The consideration has not been made public, but it is reported the amount was $50, ,0O0, whereas the bond which Woods and Trites had was for $50, 900.

DOCK FOR RYDER PROMISED IN
 SPRING
Encouraging Letter Arrives From Governor
 Riggs

One of the vital necessities of Hyder Is wharf. At the present time every -s-r-;''al and every pound of freight ex- cept such as comes from Ketchikan, is loaded at the Stewart wharf on the British Columbia side of the line, and while there is yet do trouble over cus- toms regulations. and red tape for the time being is forgotten still the town Is subjected to great inconvenience.
 Some time ago the Hyder citizens sent memo to the administration out lining the needs of the camp in this respect. and that steps will be taken to relieve the situation is made certain by the following letter from Governor Riggs, who recently visited the district and is thoroughly conversant with the requirements:

 nor. Juneau.
 Mir. George H. Foy,
 Hyder, Alaska.
 My dear sir:- am in receipt of petit on signed by yourself and other residents of the town of Hyder, where in you advocate the earle possible construction of a wharf in your town. have already taken this mat CT up with the Forest Service and the Alaska Road Commission. Major Waugh, the president of the commission, advises me that it is quite probable that he will let contracts for the furnishing of the needed material this winter and that in all probability a dock, through some agency, will be constructed in the spring.
 l am thoroughly in accord with the idea of having a dock constructed as soon as possible so that the town will benefit therv from. Very truly yours.

CIRCULATING
 ON ORE ROAD

Speculation is rife as to the probab-
 ility of the wagon road between Hyder
 an Stewart being finished this season
 Id predictions are freely made that
 the citizens of these two towns will be
 very fortunate if they are1~able to go
 b1 k and forth on level footing by next
 Jue. The first bridge work, connect
 ing the wharf at Stewart with the
 grade, is no where near completion and
 there remain two bridges to build, one
 of 225 feet aud the other of about 300,
 thesfrst of whichscan be worked only
 at certain stages of the tide.
 When completed this work will not
 be of a permanent nature, as the tres
 ties W Il need constant attention and repairs. Competent men state that it would have been just as cheap to blast out the road all the way. making a solid rock foundation which, when con- pleted, would last forever.
 G. A. Young of Anyox, provincial road superintendent for the district. vas In Hyder the early part of the " elk. ard stated that he was confident the rock york would be finished by the middle of November. Of the trestle work however, he was doubtful, and he said he would request the engineer in charge to allow him to cut out the upper bridge and blast road around. It is here the most trouble would be found driving piles, as the road runs beside the cliff, and the piles nearest the shore take side slip when they hit the rock. At the lower bridge it will be matter of straight pile driv- ing, and once the driver is in place the work is expected to proceed without hitch.
 Meanwhile it is arace between the road crew and the snow, and it may be said for the crew that they are doing heir utmost to wn out. Some of the | best rock men in the north are engaged in the work, and the way they are | tearing the cliffs down makes all the in Hyder rattle, and the whole of the upper canal reverberate IS though all the gods of mythology were battling, with thunder bolts as their weapons, and the glacier-clad mountain tops as their battle field.

900 Bushels of Sweet Potatoes
From Three Acres
Last spring Mr.. ]. H. Hendrix, of
Powder Springs. decided that he
would plant part of his land in sweet
potatoes instead of devoting it all to
cotton, so he selected three acres that
he prepared and planted to potatoes.
This ground was no better than
that in his other fields, and was not
prepared or fortified any better than
the rest of the farm. Still it was
good land; for when he dug the pota-
toes the three acres turned out 900
bushels. 1t was nothing uncommon
to find potatoes in this field weighing
ten or twelve pounds, and it was just
as often the case that single hills pro-
duced IA or Is pounds of potatoes.
1t is not a good practice to pro-
duce potatoes this large, for the
quality is not as good as that of small
er potatoes and they do not sell as
well. These large potatoes were due
to the fact that the plants were not
thick enough on the ground If they
had been Is inches in the drill instead
of 20 to "a the yield would have been
just as good and the potatoes smaller
and of better quality.
Mr., Hendrix has built potato
storage house according to plans fur
nished him by the county agent. He
has just finished curing his potatoes
and expects to keep them until late
winter or spring when there will be
ready market for them at much bet
ter price than he could get now.
Mr.. Hendrix says it pays him better
to raise potatoes than it does to raise
cotton, and that next year he ex-
poets to raise more potatoes than he
did this year.
Farmers who expect to reduce their
cotton acreage next year on account
of the boil weevil, will do we'll to go
see Mr.. Hendricks potato house. Then
think the matter over and decide
whether it will pay you to build
storage house and raise some potatoes
or not.
