COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
 ME [ TIN t

Nothing particularly new, with the exception of a determination to dispose of the oil painting which has been up for raffle for some time, transpiEed at the meeting of the Commercial Association last Thurs day night. The painting, a large canvass dcpe by Mrs. LA. Willard, formerly poprietress of the Miners Hotel, show ing the backgrond of mountains as seen from Hyder, was presented to the Association some time ago and will be rallied at ths moving picture show next Saturday night, irrespective of the number of tickets that have been sold.
 Bills for 15J copieJ of the special Hyder edition of the Pathfinder, and for additional fire buckets were ordered paid, dnd as the treasuer's report showed that funds were run- ming at an ebb, Alex Fraser and w. R. Hull were appointed com mittee to rustic more money.
 The Pathfinders are for sale at the Midget Emporium at 25 cents each, and it is felt by the Associa- tion that every person having the interests of Hyder at heart should send copies to friends who might be interested in learning about the camp.
 In regard to the proposed walk from First street to the wireless sta ton, Secretary Dorey reported that the piling have been delivered. When funds are available for this improvement it will be built.

Production in 1922 Expected To Be Increased by the Output of Salmon River Mines

British Cokmbia's mineral out put, with the exception of gold, de- creased from $35, ,543,084 in 1920 to $28,934.848 in 1921, according to the annual report of the minister of mines issued in Victoria.

 The report indicates that the mines at the head of Salmon river are likely to increase the general mineral production curing 1922. es- pecially in view of tine fact that the Premier thine has just oonple ted its big eriai tramway which Is expected to handle thousaLGs o! tons of rich ore.

Decrease in Output
 of Copper, Silver,
 Platinum, Lead, Cause Slump in Alaska

Alaska mineral production dur ing 1921 was valued at $16, 109,000 according to preliminary estimates made public by the geological sur Yey, as compared with $23,303, ,757 4l the previous year. The decrease is accounted for by the loss of $6, . 100000 ip the value of the copper production, $573,OOO,in silver, $1OO- 900 in lead. $155,OOo in platinum, $l25,000 iA 2etFoleum. An increase qf $135,000 in coal production is fepoBted.
 The report points out that the practical completion of the. govern faelt railroad in Alaska is the most important happening of the year to ;iffect the mining industry and it is believed that this will mean the opening up of large tracts of prep erty that are now lying idle. as well as make it possible to operate thou- sands of acres of low grade placer ground of the interior which have hitherto been inaccessible,

K9S CAUSE HIYU TROUBLE

Pete Lowe, who christened the T. H. Express on its initial trip up the Salmon, undertook the other day to act as conductor for a trip, and let himself in for peck of trouble. He left the rig for half a minute, and the horses bolted up the road, with Pete In hot pursuit, and gain lng at every jump. But-alas and a!aok-the seven hounds that run with the rig became mixed up with his legs, throwing him in the snow and jarring loose an eruption of language that woke the hibernatin9 bears anu caused the mountain goats tt jump from precipicc to precipice and back again. Before Pete could kick the slats out of the K9s with his No. 9s, the cayuses col lided with freight team coming down from the Premier. The rest isn't fit to print.

Writing from Vancouver where he has a job printing business, Jimmy Cullins, founder of the Port land Canal News, refutes the report published by B. c. papers at the time of the Canadian election last month to the effect that Peter An nance, a former resident of Stew art, had been mixed up in an cleo ton fraud at Comox. Jimmy says that Pete is not even acquainted with the others with whom his name is associated in the ffaud and that the fact of thefe being a name on tie voters list at ComoK similar to his led to the mistake being made. Pete has many friends in the north who will be glad to learn that the report was untrue.

Engineer Lambert of the Cana. dian government staff, was in camp during the stay of the Albert in connection with the proposed addi. ton to the government wharf, l. Waide, who has the contract fos making the alterations, was dowl, from the Premier in consultation with Mir, Lambert, and told the Miner that he intended to com mence the work in a very short time, as the contract calls for it's completion by the end of February, He has arranged with Jack Kellogg to furnish the piling required,
 The alteration will consist of aii addition 30 X 50 feet in size, on the south side of the wharf, and be- tween the ore bunkers and the shore. This will permit an exten- sion of the public warehouse, which has always been inadequate to ac- commodate the freight offering,

Au ReUOir,
Lady AstOr!

THE beautiful and brilliant
but not wholly diplomatic,
Lady Astor has returned to
England from her propagandist
tour of America.
Her propaganda was in support
of the League of Nations. Those
of us who believe that America
should be free from foreign en-,
tanglements earnestly hope that
England will send more propa-
gandists like Lady Astor.
She attacked the Grand Army
of the Republic, those venerated
men now old and few.
Lady Astor also attacked the
veterans of the late great war,
those splendid boys of ours who
sacrificed so much not only for
their own country, but to save
the allies, and particularly to an
swer the shrieks for help of that
Dear England" for which our
expatriates have so deep a devo-
ton.
Lady Astor also attacked the
Catholic Church and our citizens
who sympathize with Ireland and
the Jews, and the Congress of
the United States and not an in
considerable portion of the press
of which she disapproves, but for
which she writes for pay.
On the whole, Lady Astor would
have offended most of the popula,
ton, had it not been that her
charm and her innocence and her
sex freed her from any resentment
from our courteous and consider.
ate people.
However, Lady Astor did
strongly appeal to the snobs. And
the number and Importance OF
snobs in a democracy must not be
understated.

Noting already a shortage OF

acute when our industry fully re-
wives, Judge Gary says:
Every impediment should be
placed before the immigrant who
cannot make a contribution to-
ward the growth of the Nation.
But men and women who quail

cally for entry into this country
should not be debarred.
Phese people have something
definite to offer the country
their strength and their al
legiance.
The country has something
definite to offer them-economic
freedom and citizenship.
Each needs the other for mt-
tual benefit.
Whatever self-interest colors
Judge Gary's view, the foregoing
is true.
Few aliens, however humble
their start, stay long on the lad
der's bottom rung. If not they,
their children rise from the un-
skilled to the skilled and make
their way among our best.

A Thrill of Peace.

ITO those who are inclined to be
cynical about Genoa, be-
cause of an altogether nat
ural impatience and eagerness for
the speedy and complete recovery
of the poor, sick world, the clos
ing words of Lloyd George should
bring some balm:
A thrill Of peace has gone
through the veins of Europe,
and you are not going to get
any nation lifting up her hand
against another nation again.
Believe me, peace is recover
ing her gentle sway over the
hearts of men and in this con-
ference, by this pact we have
adopted today, we have paid
homage to her sceptre.
This is not the achievement of
the millennium, but it is one step
and one moment nearer to a world
wise enough to live together in
peace and amity.

NATURE AT HER BEST
By s. E. klSER.

BY s. E. kISER.
NOW Natures at her loveliest;
~ In every glen and every glade
The sweet wild blossoms do their best
To let their beauty be displayed
The sprouts coming up to view
The daily wonders that unfold;
The woods are bright with every hue,
And all the world seems made anew,
So | am told
THE lambs are skipping on the slopes,
i The slim colts elevate their heels;
The little pigs, with eager hopes,
And packed in layers get their meals;
The mother hen clucks to the chicks
That meath her dropping wings are
warmed;
The boys are swimming in the 'cricks,"
And Natures doing her best licks,
So I'm informed.
THE wizardry of spring is shown
i In every field and pasture lot;
Sweet fragrance constantly is blown
From every rural beauty spot;
BY every winding, tuneful brook
The nicely fronded ferns appear;
Some wonder graces every nook
Where one may care to pause and look,
Or so l hear.
THIS is the time for man to turn
l. From narrow streets and selfish aims
To look at Natures work, and learn
How she refashions and reclaims;
As for myself, l cannot spend
NY moments gazing at a view
Where wonders open without end,
But l can highly recommend
That stuff to you.

On Getting a Hearing.
THE man with grievance is
a nuisance. The man with a
plan is welcome.

plan is welcome.
Grievances annoy other people,
but fail to, interest them. The
tone of voice has faint wall in it.
Some public reformers make the
same mistake as the man with a
grievance. The faults they point
out are worth noting. The men
they snipe are fair game. The
failure of these earnest critics
lies in the unfailing gloom they
carry and spread.
They leave all the good tunes
to the sinners. They get no fun
out of their fights.
We do not need a prophet to
tell us that some of the condi-
tions of life are sour and hard.
Human affairs are more of a
quick lunch than banquet
This earth is an imperfect
sphere, slightly flattened at the
poles. And in celestial terms it
is third-rate planet, at best.
But we are on it and cannot
get off it. We are in it and
cannot get out of it.
In suggesting amendments to
the common lot, there is needed
a genial and hearty note.
Best of all, let the reformers
bring a plan instead of a griev-
ance.

AFR. HARDING has steel chiefs

ava to cut ont the twelve h our

10 cut OUT the CWelVe-nOur
day in the steel industry.
Mr.. Gary appoints committee
to investigate the possibility of
the change, the chiefs having
agreed that the innovation is de-
sirable eff and when practicable. "
1t will be nice if Mr.. Gary and
the others can find it "practi-
cable" to reduce below twelve
hours the deadly toll of men at
the steel furnaces. 1t has not
proved "practicable" up to this
time in spite of strikes and re-
peated exposure of the severe
conditions under which these men
work.
1t is solely up to Mr.. Gary and
his conferees. They have prevent
ed the formation of labor or
CARNATIONS in the steel industry,
so the men cannot fight for them
selves.
The Federal Government can
not help them, for successive Su-
preme Court decisions-the latest
the one annulling the Federal
Child Labor Law-have declared
that the States alone can regulate
working conditions in industry.
The States cannot help in re-
ducing the twelve-hour shift in
the steel business, for the Su-
preme Court has declared State
laws limiting the hours of men s
work to be unconstitutional, be-
cause such laws interfere with a
mans free right of contract. His
right to contract to burn up his
manhood in a few years of in
tensive work because he can get
employment on no other terms! A
precious right! 1t is like the
precious right of the children of
Alabama to work eleven hours
per day in cotton mills, a right
restored to them by the Supreme
Court a few days ago.
The Child Labor Law annul-
ment and the twelve-hour Incl
dent, both occurring within a
week. remind us that we need a
constitutional amendment en-
powering the Federal Congress to
pass protective laws for industrial
workers, young and old.
