MOVING THE MALAMUTE

Misfortune stalked hand-in-hand with Calamitous Fate and both conspired to brew a nauseous po- tion of grief and disappointment for Gus Erickson and Alex Nc Phee, when they undertook to move the Malamute building from it's b. cation on Main street between 2nd and Sd to the lot that Joe Grashio recently purchased near the head of Main street, where the black scow" used to be, sit. stand, repose, roost. perch or mitlite.
 There were three "big tides" They came on the Fist, 22nd and 2Sd of the month. The underpinning of the Malamute was altered so that a scow could be slipped under the building. The black scow" was hauled out and that lot prepared for the reception of the Malamute.
 Then came the day of the first big tide. It flowed, and ebhed- and the scow could not be found. Alright. Next day was another tide-and the tow-boat could not be secured. Tough luck. But an- other tide remained-and a wind came up and blew the building back faster than the boat could pull it ahead. Not only that. the braces from the scow to cedar logs that had been fastened alongside as sta- bilizers broke. the building tilted this way and that way, and would have turned over on it's side. only that the under edges of the scow struck bottom. Gus was thrown into the cold, wet salt chuck, and Harry Hicks jumped in to avoid the impending catastrophe, and swan enthusiastically in his gum boots and slicker, away from the seow, and then back again to be pulled out by Alex with a pike pole.
 And the next day the building was lowed around and slipped into place without a hitch.

It Is said that pioneer residents of the Boundary are still trying to re- member the words and tune, which frequently drove them to tears when Elmer, perched on the railing of the pavilion with his guitar, warbled this melody. while shim- myinG moons cast a benediction over the scene and querulOus looms answered from the drowsing lake. The editor of this paper used to row down eight miles from his bush-rat and squaw.fish ranch to drink in the delights of this sylvan musicale. An, them was the happy days.

ON FOREST RESERVE
 IS EXPLAINED

The following letter received by Commissioner Frame will be of particular interest to residents on the Forest reserve addition.
 Department of the Interior,
 General Land Office,
 Juneau, Alaska,
 October }, 1922. U. s. Commissioner.
 Hyder. Alaska. Dear Sir:--
 ] am in receipt of num- erous applications for town lots in Hyder and for information as 10 the procedure necessary to obtain title. In all probability a great many of those desiring information will come to your office, and in order that there may be less core; spondence in the matter, wish you would advise them all that at the present time the survey of the exterior boundaries of Hyder Townsite is being prepared for the of the Commissioner of the General Land Office. As soon as the exterior boundaries are ap-! proved application will be made for the approval of the subdivision al survey, and until the subdivis- ional survey is approved no action can be taken looking towards the of title to any of the lots.
 Just as soon as it is possible notice will be published in the pa- per at Hyder and notices posted on the townsite advising all inter- ested parties of the date on which applications for town lots may be made. Under the regulations any person who IS an occupant or en, titled to occupancy of lot in Hy-; der Townsite. or his successor in on the date of the appro- val of the subdivisional survey by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, Is entitled to a deed. There seems to be some apprehen- sion on the part of certain parties that property within the townsite- cannot be transferred pending ap- phcation for patent. It makes no how many tirnes the lot is transferred so long as a clear re-: cord is kept showing that the lot was claimed and occupied on the date of the approval of the plat mentioned above. No preference right can be acquired by submit dng an application at this time. Will you please give this as mucn as possible9
