TIME TO ACT

Col. James Steese, head ot the Alaska Road Commission, has gone to Washington to ap- rear before Congress in behat O the Territory in securing appropriations for roads ana tra'lJ ill Alaska. His represen- tationc to that body will De based, naturally, upon what he lnoWs to be the primary needs of the various districts and the 9~nro nriations made by Con- greHs for Alaska road and trail wo"k during the coming year VII in turn be based largely r~on the estimates made by h'r' ." D the amount of money required. ~G.>-
 Now It is an unfortunate fact that the town of Hyder is so tuated that it is in constant d1nger of being wholly or par | ally destroyed by one of the frequent overflows of the tur- t"lont and cratic Salman Rtv- CT Twice during the past year ? urge portion of the townsite has been inundated and in each particular instance serious damage was averted only by the intervention of a kindly. Trovidence..
 With the evidence of those Y tations before their eyes, the people of Hyder should be r fly aware that the danger from this source is a very real one and one that demands their rious attention and every et- I Tt that they can make to have the danger removed be- fore disaster overwhelms the community-as it assuredly W l some day if nothing is done. Those conversant with the situation say that the only way to remove this dangerous ITO ,pect is to divert the river back into it's proper channel by removing the numerous log Jams and constructing wing cam5 a short distance above the town. Although such sate- guards vii require no very l rge expenditure, the cost would nevertheless be greater than can be borne by the resl- the danger there is but onev dents of the town. This being the case, the only hope of re- lef from this ever imminent danger to property and life 1 les in obtaining assistance from the federal government.

THE WOMAN JURY BILL
From Stroller's Weekly

From Stroller's Weekly
 The Woman's Jury Bill as en- acted by the last Territorial Legislature will thunder down the corridor of all time to come as the greatest "bull' ever per petrated in Alaska. Its provl.- ions not only place the women called to serve on juries in an embarrassing position in thac, ik they do not claim exemption under it, they are subject to au- cusation of being brazen ana forward, and if they do claim exemption it simply makes a plaything of the court.
 The bill as it stands should Do changed or wiped off the stat utes. It is a travesty and joke as it now stands. Enough wom- en in the. Territory voted for eligibility to. serve on juries to carry the measure and few sissy legislators queered the proposition by passing an ln- ane and senseless bill that practically renders the whore thing imperative.
Hyder weekly miner., 1923-12-10

sure as sure can be that unless something is done the town, or 2 portion of it at least, will one day be the scene of a serious disaster. Whether Col. Stoese is aware of the situation or not, we do not know. His attention was called to it during the past season, but no funds were av- ailable at that time and nOtn-
 ng could be done. Col. Steese has probably forgotten all about it by this time, for he is a busy man, with multitudinous ;ares and duties. However he has shown himself goou friend of the Territory and lIa people and has at all times dis played a willingness to help n any way possible wherever he assistance of his depart ment could be applied.
 Knowing this, why should we not lay our case before him again, when he is in the nation al capital and in the best pos 3ible position to present our 0lea for assistance to those who can give it if they will?
 We are seeking no pork bar rel appropriation. Our need $ a real and vital one, foi our property and possibly our lives are in danger and we are morally justified in asking the government to come to our rs- lief. Properly presented to the Rivers and Harbors board, and backed by a petition from the entire population of Hyder, 5here is scarcely a doubt that 1he desired result can be ob- ,ained Ii any event it will ao no harm to try,
