Forest Service Plans New
 Home Lots

That the government is heenly alive to the needs of Hydey and the district is apparent from the prepar- htions already being made for inn movements here although actual ~ork cannot commence foY a mat ter of several weeks.
 Chas, H. Ftorry. Superintendent of Alaska National Forests, has spent most of the week here, tosetl- CT with hts assistant, K. A. Teller and told the Miner yesterday that the authorities are very much inRer- ested3n the growth of this camp, and that steps are being taken .or plotting into town lots another DOT tiCn of the forest reserve ia erdeP that there may be no scarcity of homesites here, MT. Florry is going to Washington next month, but be- fore leaving will have plaus for the new addition completed, and wll notify MT. Zel,er when to commence the work of surveying.
 Mir. Florry stated that the gov- ernment is opposed to forest reserve lots being hell for speculative pur- poses, and that if houses are not built on the lots within reasonable time the rights O. the present hold CTS may be cancelled and the lots given to those who will utilize them for home building purreses, The demand for these lots is ar in 5x- cess of the number available, and it is certain that the reserve will become one of the most important residential sections of Hyder.
 Mr. FiOriy also gave authentic information as to the road building program for this year. The Alaska Forest Service has appropriated S35,O00 for this purpose and the Territory an additional $15000. This is to be spent on the censtruc- ton ana improvement O. roads in the Hyder districe as soon as the work can be undertaken and there is a possibility that additional funds may be secured tor this purpose if required, MT. Florry was visitor here last summer, examining num- Der of mining properties, and be- lieves that this section has a great future from a mining standpoint.
 As to the bridge ac.oss Salmon river. for which every mining and business man here is boosting, he said that he is in iavop of it's con- struction, realizing as he does the importance of this bridge as a fac tor in opening up the portion of the mineral beft lying in Alaska.
 I. H. Evans, who is to be foreman of the road construction work, went ap to the proposed Site of the bsidge Thursday to report on the feasibil- lty of an immediate start being made upon it.

Origin of Yuletide.

Yulc was the name Of the ancient
Scandinavian festival held NJ the time
of the winter SolSticc. The word is Of
uncertain origin. says The IIOuSekeep-
or, but IT probably Is taken directly
from the Icelandic word "iol" mean
ing Il feast. II is curious To note how
many nations of old marked the turn
of the year"-that is, the December
SolStice-hy festivals. The Egyptians,
the HinduS, the PcTSians, the Greeks
and the Romans all had fpastS at this
season, but especially the Northern
natiOns-the TeutOnS the Scandinav-
ianS. the early natives of Britain-re-
jOiced at the event of the suns turn on
It's cOruse. The festival was kept with
much eating and drinking and noisy
jOllity. One of the ceremonies was the
placing of IN enormous log of wood
often so large that IL required the
strength of several men to bring il In
upon the hearth fire i'm the huge fire
place. The burning of the Iule log
was thought To insure good fortune to
the family. especially when charred
pieces of the log burned the year be-
fore and kept over for that purpose
were used To light it.

SILENT CHRISTMAS.

The first "still Christmas" in Eng
land occurred in 1925. Henry VIII was
king. In December the king fell sick,
and the nation was filled with anxiety.
Ii was decided that the Christmas
should be silent one. There were
no bells, carols. or merry making. ST.
lent ChristmaSes were proclaimed in
the prOtectOrate of Cromwell. The fes-
tival was altogether abolished. and the
display of the emblems of the nativity
was held to he seditious. The change
was most notable in London. There
was silence in the Strand; the church
bells were still.
