Without presuming to dictate to the government of British Colum- bia. (Hyder is not Ketehikan,) would we be de tHop if we suggested that the royalties received from the Premier might logically be used in the construction of roads and trails to other properties in the same distpict? Road Foreman Geo. A. Young told the Miner at the wharf last week that the completion of the road to the Big Missouri de- pended upon the money available. Surely the B. c. government has collected enough in royalties from the Premier alone to complete this road. And by so doing they would be creating another sourse of rev. enue for their coffers, for the Big Missouri, were transportation afford. ed, would ship ore and commence paying royalties.

There iiiist be something pecul- iat about the air, or the water, or something; in Ketchikan. Awhile back gfaiid juty there was going to amend the Canadian liquor laws and ii6W the chambeF of conlfiierce is going to change the international boundry line So that it will not interfere with a pfoposed cableffoiri Seattle. Now we know how the District Attorney got that way. He

Taking stroll last Thursday, the editor of this paper came to Hyder's cemetary, two and one-half miles up the Salmon valley road, and in the dank woods of the river bottom. Having been there before, acting in the capacity of pall.bearer, the scribe knew where to look for the site, which is unmarked save for a blaze on tree, upon which there is no inscription, and which might stand for a guide to anything or nothing. A moss grown trail leads from the road to Gods Acre, but the entrance to this trail has been obliterated by pile of logs and brush, by whom placed there, we do not know, nor does it matter much, 90 long as the shameful fact is fact. We could not help but wonder what expedient a funeral Softeee would now employ to trans. port casket from the fOad te its burial place,

Simple way for Hyder to over come any question arising out of boundry line crossings is just to take a leaf out of Ketchikan's book and have the boundry line changed to suit the situation.

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH

PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
 A telegram from Washington says: Undiscovered lakes in Alas ka are to be discovered and photo graphed by eroplane." This is but one of forty thousand fool proposi- tiens in which government money which is paid in by the people is wasted-but one of forty thousand fool propositions that is bankrupt ing the United States. The pur- pose is said to be the discovering of sources of water power of which there is already ten times more discovered than will be utilized in the next fifty years. That board of general officers at Washington whose function it is to "prune" the various departments, cut off dead limbs and eliminate excess baggage certainly has a job on it's hands if there is as much money squandered per capita elsewhere as in Alaska. If ten per cent of the money spent in junketing trips by heads of bur. eaus. sub bureaus, commissions and special agents in Alaska was spent in developing the country. there would be something to show for the expenditure. -Stroller's Weekly

CHRISTMAS CLUB
DEPOSITS CLOSE
TO 100000 MARK
Total Shows Increase of $l2, 900
Over Amount in 1921
SAVINGS GROW YEARLY
Plan Has Become Increasingly
Popular Since Inaugurated
in 1914.

Ninety.nine thousand dollars IN
Christmas club money has been de.
posted at County National bank and
the First National banks OF Benning.
ton and North Benn. ngton. The
checks are sent out from the local
banks today but Will not be sent from
the North Bennington bank until Sat
urday OF this week.
This shows an increase over last
year of about $4,000, which makes II
evident that people are growing more
thrifty each year The Christmas
club savings proved very popular
when 1t first started In 1914 and has
increased in popularity since that
time. ,t
The County National Bank, which
introduced this plan OF saving, in Ben.
nington, sent out checks to the amount
Of about $4,000. The First National
Bank, which is newer at the work,
sent out about $4,000 and the First
Nat onal Bank at North Bennington
sent out about $4,000. which is a 1T
tie increase over last year.
The two local banks have already
opened their 1923 clubs and number
of thrifty Bennington people have al,
ready taken out one or more. Each
year has shown such an increase that
no doubt, next years total will be
much over 100000.
The Christmas club business is not
profitable to the banks in itself but II
terminates the banking habit In a
large number Of people and from this
the banks secure regular customers
later who are a benefit to business.
The Christmas club is more i'm.
mediate advantage to the savings
bank or the savings department; Of
the national banks. People learn
through the Christmas club that there
is more actual fun In saving money
than in wasting 1t and that the say
ing habit is easily learned like any
other habit and when once estab.
lished leads to prosperity and per.
manent comfort
Manv Christmas club checks are
turned into savings accounts or ad-
ded to those already started. while
many people now having savings
bank accounts never actually realized
that there was such an insttut on as
a bank until the Christmas club
called II to their attention.
In the meantime the paying out OF
100000 extra money in addition TO
the regular income OF the people OF
the town insures good Christmas
bus ness In Bennington this year.
