Speculators hold many of the choice Stewart lots, and will not part with them exbept at the boom prices paid ten or twelve years ago. There is one Church of England mis. sion and a resident clergyman, Att tendance of pupils at the public school is eighteen. There is report. ed to be fine oppoetunity at Stew art for some enterprising person to establish first class hotel.
 Mann & Mackenzie interests oon- structed ten miles of railway grade up Bear river ten years ago and are themselves interested in mineral holdings up that way. With regard to this part of the district one min ing engineer said: The Bear river valley never had a far chance. The mines were stocked and the stock prematureiy thrown on the market, The money paid for stock was not spent on the ground. Development was slight and misdirected. The properties are good and widl be pro. ducers.
 Charles F. Caldwell has & conces. sion from the Forestry Commission of Alaska, and which is approved by the secretary of the interior and secretary of war at Washington, for the construction of a railway through grounds of the forest reserve on Sal mon river. It is stated that the track could be laid qn the broad and open valley of the Salmon with but very little grading. With regard to immediate construction of this line, which is expected to make big ton mage showing when constructed, MT. Caldwell states that he is ex7 pectine to have such grading as may be necessary done early in the spring plank doWn the ties and spike the rails forthwith, so as to be in a pos ition to do business with the line in the summer of 1920.

 The Alaskan Canadian boundary dine does not define the mineralized area. ProspectoFs say that surface indications on the Alaskan side are identical with those on the Canadian and in fact since the resumption of interest in this section there have been numerous discoveries made on the Alaskan side. One of these, MT, Caldwell,s New Alaska, has already developed sufficient tonnage to war rant the construction of the Salmon river railroad.
 The reason the Canadian side was developed first is that there is a re- cordins office in Stew Art, and has been for ten years. If prospeotors staked on this side of the liOe they had to go to Ketchikan to record and the cost of making the trip was practically prohibitive. Now that Hydes has been made recording headquarters the portion of the min eRal belt lyIng in Alaska will be de= veloped.
 The Times fiction is based on an alleged interview with George F. Forrest, tive pty-six years resi- dent of Juneau, but never even a visitor in Hyder. Would the Times credit a report on Seattle made by a resident of Tacoma who had never been in Seattle?

EDITORIAL


 which, as an illustration of crass ignorance and an utter disregard for the truth, is a gem. Read this;
 "Hyder, Alaska, a little town founded about eight years ago and having the good fortune to belong to Uncle Sam, is about to taste of the Cup of Bitterness, say Alaskans wintering in Seattle. Town of a Thousand hills and Deep Shows as 1t is, Hyder may also write upon its tablets of history that it was a Town of Near Opportunity, a town of boom days that never came.
 And this is all because the Russ ianS, when they laid out their boun- dary lines in the days years ago, showed poor judgment and nipped Hyder's future by slicing the place where Hyder now stands off from a sutherland which Alaskans believe ls likely to make new and shining mark in mining annals.
 rYet, notwithstanding the lack of Judgment shown in surveying, Fly der stands on the threshold of its ;irst and probably iagt pear-boom."
 The Times should read up on AL askan history. The present bound ary line referred to was not laid out by the Russians, but by joint com mission of British and American 'statesmen,' and as recFntIy as 1908
 In the early sos Dad" Rainey took up an American homestead en 2 portion Qf what is now the Can. adiian town of Stewart, At that time the boundafy line staEtea ffom the head of Portland Canal, The American members of the commiss. ion handed Canada tw9 miles of land between Stewart and Hyder with the exceptiep of Rainey's piece.
 But now for another Times spasm:
 "Hyder is on the Salmon river where the river flows iato Portland canal, The Russians drew their boundary line up the canal and squared off al Salmon river instead pf continuing in a natural straight course up the Bear river, Stewart, B.C., is on the Bear siYer whsFe it hits the canal aAd but threo miles rom Hyder The great silver mines uncovered are fourteen to twenty miles to the rear of Hydeg, but in Canadian territory.
 Should the qRes from the Pre- mieR, Big Missouri and the forty nine mines" (this is a mean slap at the Forty Nine min ne) he shipped to smelSerS via Hyder duty would have b be paid to Uncle Sam. The9e- fore the ores undoubtedly will be shipped by railroad to Stewart, for a railroad extended from that town fourteen miles has received char ter from the Dominioa eoysFnment and is to be pushed op to tap the pilver field"
 First time we eyee heaRd of a "silver field" Thanks, Times, toe g new mineEalogieal term. And thanks, thanks, Times, for the les. son on customs laws. You alone on all this broad continent, know that there is dnty on Canadian ores passing through the United States-or shipped into the States for that matter. The A.S.&R. Co have bought many thousands oi dopaFs' worth of Premier ore fol treatment at their Tacoma smelter and never knew there was any duty topay. What a shock they will re, eeive if Uncle Sam learns from the Times that Canadian ores are duti' sble.

Mining Truth Makes Report Of Conditions
 AroundHyder

The sudden rise of Portland canal section into prominence through late development is serving to di- rect more attention to that part of the west than to any other section, and prospects are that during the coming season the district will wit ness a real. old-fashio4ed rush of pPospectors and investors with no parallel but the Klondike excitement of oyer twenty years ago, says Northwest Mining Truth of Spokane. So much information is now being sought in regard to the district that Mining Truth feels sure the follow- ing brief notes wiA be interesting to the great majority of it's readers.
 The arm of water known as Port land canal is enc of those deep, ford like indeltations characteristic of the northern coast of British Colum- bia; From its shores the mount ains of the Coast range rise precipi- tously, and # lies on the boundary line between Canada's westernmost province and Alaska. The days are long in summer and short in winter and from alb reports there is an abundance of precipitation, espec- tally during the latter season.
 Stewart is at the mouth of Bear river; Hydeg at the mouth of Sal- mon riyeF. The former has several years' history behind it. Some years aeo 1t was 8 husky young camp, with hope and optimism hanging nigh. It shared the common ambi- tion of many coast towns to be a erminus of a transcoDtinental rail- way. But somehow things did not pan out" and the war came along and fof couple of years at least, StewsFt went sltaaeesst of the map. But things have assn moEine moFs satisfactorily lately and Stewart is looming back" iu magnificent style, thanks to revival of old projects and the starting up of new ones, Hyder is of move recent vintage, growing up. comparatively speaking, oyer, night. 'A friendly rivalry may bee expeeted to develop between the two. They are built on the wash from the Salmon and Bear rivers There Is an extensive mud fiat be tween.

 The reception was given by the tele- phone operators who regret so much the depature of Mrs Henderson, who leaves Thursday for Hot Springs where she will spend few weeks with rela tives, afterwards she will proDably leave for California where she will make her home Her ceparture will be regretted by many and especially the telephone employees who have l learned to love her, not only for her service. but her good nature and sweet disposition toward her operators with whom she has been so long. We feel sure we will all learn to love Mrs. Greene, who will take her place. as we have Mrs. Henderson. We think that each and every ona or us ought to strive and put forth every effort to accomplish as much as Mrs. Hender- son.
 The reception was enjoyed by all and especially Mrs. Henderson and daugh- ter Pauline, who knew nothing of 1t, being at the theater while the girls and friends with eagerness were at her home preparing for the surprise The reception was held from to 12 D. m.
 To Mrs. Hendersons surprise as she reached the door, the lights were sud denly turned on and who should she find present but the telephone opera tors and a few of her intimate friends, number of games were enjoyed until 10:3 after which refreshments con- sisting of cream and cake were served followed by music and dancing which lasted until 12 o'clock All departed declaring to have spent the evening beyond wording. only regretting the abs ence of the night operator who was on duty and manager who was called out of town on business.

WAR COST. 332 900
Scientific COciety Computes Hugh
 Loss in Human Lire.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Due to war influences, ten European nations en- gagged in the world war show a po- tential loss in population Of 35,320- 900 persons since 1914, according to a statis tical research conducted by a Copenhagen society for studying the social consequences of the war, made public today by the American Req Cross,
 At the end of 1918, these nations had a population of 400 .S50003. and under normal conditions this popuia- ti9n should have increased by the middle of 1919 to 42l210,000 How ever, it had fallen by that time to 389,030,000 which led to the con- clusion by Danish statisticians that the loss of actual and potential hu- man life in these nations approxima- ted 400O0,000.
 Causes of the abnormal falling off in the population were attributed as follows: Killed in war, 9.819 900 :; deaths due to augmentation of nor tality economic blockades, war cpl denies, 5,3O1,OO0; fall in birth rate due to mobilization of 56.000 900 men between 20 and 45 years of age, 20- 200, ,000.

There is q persistent demand in Ashdown for live commercial club, or some similar organization.
