Hammer and saw are making merry music these days in Hyder. With the Hyder Lumber Companys sawmill summing full blast, those who want to build and who have been unable for several months to obtain material, can now revel in lumber and sawdust to their hearts content. Anyone who can hit a nail twice in succession can get job, and there are plenty of places for hieh-class carpenters who can saw to a scratch if the scratch is wide enough.
 Without making a special inves- tIgation the Miner wild here tell of some of the building operations. No attempt will be made to give con- plete list of the buildings under construction. in fact this would hardly be possible. fop while the story is being put into type there may be half a dozen new houses started.
 On the forest reserve one of the largest structures to go up recently is building on Cottonwood street put up by J. W. Mari, head of the Marr Building Co. The new O'Coh- nor laundry on the same street has been completed and is now Occu- pied. Wm. Gray of the Hyder Lum- Der Co. has practically doubled the size of his residence. P. A. Jenns, superintendent of the Bush, has lumber on the ground for a EeSi- dence and Billy Bunting is also pre- pared to beild a home. Mrs. Est mere, late af Jeneau, is putting up a commodious rooming house
 On the Lindeborg townsite the 'Frizzell market is ready for the painters. This is one 0f the largest and most modern business houses ill town and is credit to its build CTS, the Mar Building Co. Mrs CampbeA'S addition to the building <oFcaased from G. E. Austin is alse practically finished and che Marks restaurant and bakery will seen be moved into it. Adjoining this, Max lipovatz and N. Belyin are putting up building 29 by 36 feet in size, which will contain store and car penter shop.
 The greatest activity at the pres ent time exists on the piled area, for two reasons, one that there is no snow to contend with, the other that property there can be secured at nominal cost. The foot of Main has been extended 200 feet during the past week and several buildings down that way are projected. Mrs. Bulloch's rooming house three lots below the Hyder Cigar Store will be finished in about a week, and Mrs. Hazel Lewis two residences near the corner of Main and Second are practically ready for occupancy.
 Joe Grachio has put in founda- tion next to Mrs. Martin'sdressmak- ing shop and will build 8 residence. Charlie Martin has also put in a foundation for a new home. Mrs. Ora Bradley has followed suit on A street. Sam Estes is preparing to build on Main street. TD.Smith and Charlie Martin are building a new restaurant on Main street next to the Blanton and Jeffrey building. The latter is nearing completion and will soon be occupied as a mod

Give Sightless
Equal Chance

The members Of this first group were
paid during their apprenticeship l.
cents an hour, and, after four weeks
instruction, were given places In ths
shops. Later the hourly rate Of pay
for trained workers was changed to n
piecework plan and this proved more
Interesting and stimulating to the
worker. At the factory 1t was said
that skilled blind worker earned
from So to "a day at plecewor''.
More startling than the work In the
coil-winding rooms Is the handling of
various kinds of machinery by the
slghtless. At the notching machines
they put in metal plates and stamp
them with the desired notches. Blind
men also stack these plates, or punch
ings." and weigh them.
Sightless typists and stenographers
also are employed by the company. In
the jobroom special system of indi-
vidual records keeps track Of more
than 1000 Jobs in process. Here
blind stenographer handles the phone
calls coming In at spaced plugs down
the length Of the room, using sim
49, chafd typewriter stand on
rollers, in which she travels up and
down the line.
A Blind Secretary.
Miss Jessie Lewis, secretary to Mrs.
Ida H. Clifford, director Of the Double
Duty Finger Guild, handles the steno-
graphic work and filing In the guilds
Office. She is graduate Of the Per-
kins Institute for the Blind. Miss
Lewis is the creator of the American
Braille shorthand system. All her
cards and records are marked In
Rraille, and she turns to a desired pa
per with the ease and promptness Of
a skilled sighted worker.
Most of the successful blind appli-
cants for positions in the factory
come from Independent sources rather
than institutions. The age limit is
supposed to be forty-fve, although
older men from the state Of New Jer-
sey have been accepted. Two persons
must guarantee one months board and
return carfare, in case the applicant
does not make good"
The worker stands absolutely on his
own merit and soon learns to take
pride in bringing his work up to the
standard required by the factory in
spectors.
Marked independence is shown by
the sightless employees in handling
their work and in moving about the
factory and grounds. The effect upon
them Of being self-supporting and en-
gagged in work which is the same as
that done by normal persons and
which must pass the same tests Of in
spection, works wonders in keeping
them up to healthy standard Of
good spirits and courage.

Widow ls Troubled
The young widow was considerably
troubled at first. But she had strong
common sense. She reflected that
even II spirltism was true revelation,
there were fake mediums, and her ell

She also reflected that her husband In
life had been jealous fellow, inclined
to lie about all possible rivals, and she
saw no reason to believe that death
had reformed him. She was able to
prove that some of the messages which
had been sent her from 1.-The Beyond"

Dead Woman Tells of Procuring
Iron With Which Husband
Killed Her.
LIKE STORY OF OLDEA TIMES
Supernatural Comes Again to Play
Recognized Part In Affairs Of Men
In Country Which Calls Itself
Civilized.

Washington, d. CA man is ac-
cused of beating his wife to death,
and is brought before q high tribunal
for trial. Judge and jurors and audi
ence sit and listen In respectful ST.
lence while the ghost of the dead wom-
IN testifles that she herself procured
the iron bar with which she was killed,
that she had intended to kill her hus-
band with 1t, and that he had great
provocation to kill her.
This sounds like story of olden
times. 1t might have happened In any
Of the great ages Of superstition
when men believed In the supernatural
even more than they did in the nat
ural.
Civilization is supposed to have freed
man from these ancient fears, but 1t
has not done So The fear is still
latent in us, waiting for chance to
express itself For example, the In
cldent related above happened, not in
the middle ages or In fairy tale, but
in the Supreme court of the District
Of Columbia few days ago. The dead
woman's mother testified that she had
gone to several mediums, had con-
versed with the ghost of her daughter
and had so gotten the daughters
story of what happened. Still more
astonishing, she testified that an as
sistant United States attorney had ad-
vised her to consult mediums. When
you take this in connection with the
fact that the Supreme court evidently
listened to the ghost conversation as
part of the testimony, you cannot blink
at the conclusion that ghost has been
admitted to a court of justice in the
United States. The supernatural has
come again to play a formal and rec
ognized part in the affairs of men In a
country which calls itself civilized.
SpirituaIism involved.
OF course, the whole question Of
spiritualism is here involved. There
are many intelligent and sincere peo-
pie who believe that the existence of
ghosts who can communicate with us
has been proved.
Out In the West there is a certain
placer deposit of gold which has been
the grave of many fortunes. One man
after another has tried to get this
gold, and all have failed. Finally,
along came an inventor with a most
ingenious and expensive plan for get
ting the gold. He had absolute faith
In 1t. 1t appeared that ne was in COM
munication with the ghost of his dead
sister. and that she had impaired this
plan to him, and had told him 1t was
sure to succeed, He spent every cent
he owned and could borrow on the
plan and lost 1t all. The ghost was
wrong.
Here Is another example of a med
dlesome ghost who sought to make
trouble. A young and attractive widow
was invited by an older woman who
lived in the same boarding house to
Join her in some ouija board excur-
sions to the land OF the dead. They
Immediately got into communication
with the spirit of the young woman's
dead husband. He proceeded to crit
icize her goings and comlngs at great
length. He objected to the man she
went with. He told her that such and
such a man was immoral, that an
other ate cocaine, that third had a
wife living in Australia. He advised

Ing as Result Of Doctor
Wheeier's Observations.
NO LONGER AN EXPERIMENT
Blind Are Taught to Wind Electric
colIs-Effeet Of Being Self-sup-
porting Keeps Them Healthy
and In Good Spirits.

New York.-So many of the war
blinded have found work in the cleo
trical manufacturing plant a means of
supporting themselves, rendering them
Independent of any charity or philan-
thropic assistance. that special atten-
ton Is being directed to the work Of
DIR. Schuyler Skaats Wheeler, who
made possible this new field of gain
full occupation for the sightless.
There Is nothing new In the en-
deavor to enable the blind to work or
even In the effort made to find RFe5d5
market for their product, but in the
Crocker-W Wheeler company's factory
the unseeing work on an exact par
with the seeing, their goods" there
fore, being placed IN che open market.
Doctor Wheelers interest in the
problem Of the blind, starting some
years ago, became intensified when the
war brought their numbers, both here
and abroad, to highly increased
total. In going through the various
departments of the company's electric
al manufacturing plant at Ampere, N.
J., of which he is president. he noted
the fact that girls skilled in winding
wire coils performed their work with
out watching the movements OF their
hands, as a touch typist or piano
player ignores her fingers. The coil
winding girls chatted and laughed
among themselves as they worked, and
their work was satisfactory. Doctor
Wheeler then blindfolded himself and
attempted to wind coil. He proved
to his own satisfaction that here was
work which, with little practice, the
sightless could do on par with nor
NAL workers.
Proves a Success.
The Double Duty Finger Guild was
the direct result. That is the name
given to the department, employing
only men and women without sight.
This department has been in success
full operation for three years in the
Wheeler factory, and 1t has
ceased to be considered an experiment
or even an innovation.
At first special instructors were en-
gagged and a small group of blind were
set to work at winding the wire coils.

Ten-year-Old John lives next door

mothers are good friends and insist on
their children being playmates. But
this doesn't suit John. who wishes to
get out with the boys. So he tries his
best to start a quarrel whenever play
time with Edith arrives. And the en-
plantations for this trouble. which he
offers to his mother are often elab-
crate.
Last Wednesday he had succeeded
In making Edith angry. Like little
fury she few at him and pulled his
hair. Then John went home to make
the announcement that no longer
would he play with this girl. II can't
