When the foot of the mountain was reached, it seemed for a moment to pause again, and then roll on, plowed on, across the narrow valley to the opposite wall, where it recoiled and then, as more and more snow came, filled the valley to a depth of many feet. For many minutes, so great was the body of snow, did the movement continue. In the places more nearly level it moved with stately yet resistless force. But on the sleeper stretches of the mountain it had the speed and violence and terror of a hurri- cane. Nothing could stand in it's path until it met the mountain bar ricade on the other side of the valley

HEFTY MISSOURIAN WHO CRUSHED BARBER CHAIR
 CAN'T GET SHAVED NOW

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, Feb. 20.- Governor A. M. Hyde is far from being the biggest man in Missouri's Capitol.
 Clyde Perkins, clerk of the house committee on accounts. lays claim to that honor, and glance at Clyde and his 480 pounds convinces you that he is right.
 Clyde was shaved in a barber shop and everything went we'll until he at tempted to raise himself out of the chair. It collapsed beneath him and was literally smashed into junk. Now Clyde is barred from the tonsorial shop, as no one wishes to risk a $500 chair for 25-cent shave.

OCEAN VESSELS
 GAN NOW CALL
 AT RYDER DOCK

When the Jefferson docked here on her initial trip she found mod ern wharf awaiting her arrival, not so pFetentious, perhaps, as those of Seattle, but equal to present re- quirementS, and satisfactory in every way to the officers of the ship. They were surprised to find a warehouse and waiting room building, since just before they left Seattle a message was received from here to the effect that this essential to the wharf was lacking. But while the ship was on the way north Lee Balch and his crew put the building up in jig time. What Was more surprising to the Jeffer- son officers was to find the wharf electrically lighted.
 The wharf was built by Lee Balch and Fred Dorey. heads of the Hyder Dock Company, and the ap- proach from the wharf to the foot of Premier Avenue was built by MT. Ralch under contract from the government, Messrs. Pitcher, Cam eron & Stenberg sub-contraeting the pile driving, The approach is upwards of one-half mile in length, with 106 bents, containing 510 piles. These were driven in 45 days actual working time, which is an excellent record. Both wharf and approach are of substantial construction, built to bear the weight of the heaviest machinery.

IMMENSE BODY OF MILLING ORE
 IN INDEPENDENCE

Good progress is being made on the Independence development, ac- cording to Owney McFadden who, with Allan Carolan, has contract for l5O feet of underground work, and whe was down for the New
 Years celebration. The tunnel has been driven 70 feet since work started on the contract, and is now in 90 feet. For the last 30 feet it has been in solid ore of good mill ing grade, having passed through a small dyke of barren rock such as is characteristic of the mines in this district, The ore is fine-grain- ed steel galena, with some copper, and since the dyke was passed all sides of the tunnel will average $40 per ton in value. MT. McFadden intends to dive 30 feet more and then croSScut to determine the width of the vein. Conidering the fact that this work was not started until after winter had set in and supplies had to be taken in through the soft snow, the amount of work thus far done is out of the ordinary.

Results at the Titan are satisfac- tory according to Jack Fitzgerald, who was id town thlS week. The

$. s. Jefferson
 Brings New Era
 In Transportation

When the steamer Jefereon, of the Alaska Steamship Company s fleet docked at the Hyder wharf on the morning of January 2, it marked an epoch in the commer. elal life of this coming mining me- tropolis of Alaska. To the Jefer- son falls the distinction of being the first ocean-going vessel to tie up at this new wharf, the first to make direct trip from Seattle to Hyder. When this port has att tained position as steady ship per of mine products and importer of equipment and supplies, this trip of the Jefferson will become his- toric, And it IS quite in keeping with the fitness of things that the interests controlling the Premier mine, which is mainly responsible for Hyder's existence. should also own the fleet of which the pioneer
 
 ship to call here is unit.
 That the first intention to have she ship come to Hyder on every second trip has been revised, and that the ship will make this port each trip, or every two weeks. is a compliment to the camp and cause for self-congratulation.

PIONEERS GIVE GREAT DELIGHT
 WITH CARNIVAL

Looked forward to as the biz social event of the winter, the Pio- neers carnival fulfilled all the ex- pectations of residents in this dis trict, and the population of not only Hyder but of Stewart and Premier Aocked to Pioneer Hall on the two nights during which the festi- vides continued.
 The hall presented a most at- trachve appearance. with its lavish decorations of evergreens and varii- colored streamers; make-believe money Aoated around in hundreds of thousands of dollars, worth; the oldtiners renewed their memories at the various games. including rou- lette, craps and blackjack; Walter Blanton's culinary department re- ceived the patronage that its excel lence deserved, and in the famous words of the Bingville Bugle: "A good time was had by all."
 The first night was marked by the browning of the Carnival queen, Miss Hazel Stratford, of Premier. There was a sharp contest be- tween the winner of the honor and Miss Helen Hall, the Hyder can didate, but as last year, the Pre- mier combination was too strong for any opposition to overcome.
 Miss Stratford received 5o;31O votes. Miss Hall ,525. and Miss Edith Crawford, of Stewart, 1850. The pretty ceremony of crown- ing the queen, was reminder of medevial times. The young lady, dressed in regal robes. was escort ed to the throne by Grand Usher FG. V. Bucket, her train being held by little June and Mona MehIfe'd. U. s. Pitcher, president of the local Igloo. and Prime Minister for the court occasion, placed the crown upon Her Majesty's head and pre- sented her with diamond lava Here as a token of esteem ftom her subjects, after which she graciously commanded the festivities to pro- ceed.
 The second night was given up to a masquerade at which a most unique variety of costumes were displayed. The prizes awarded to the winners were: for best sus- tained characters, Mrs. George Mehlfeld, Indian woman, and liar " Laurie, Dutch boy; best fancy costumes, Mrs. Angus Mcleod as a moth, and H. P. Gibson, King Henry the Eighth. Eddie Haddon in a green velvet suit, made lively and competent floor manager.
