PoRTER-IDAHO
RETURNS GOOD

Inclement weather and diff
cult trails have so far prevent
ed contractors Bryson anu
Harner from landing the last
of the seasonal output Of ore
from the Porter-Idahc a.,
beach and much of Il. last
shipment remains in the Il,
Gold cabin, several miles from
the landing.
Returns from the second ship
ment to reach the outside were
received last week and are
said by members of the synd.
icate to be fully up to expect
atoms, although the shipment
which comprised $4,000 lbs.
was not so carefully sorted as
the first shipment, from which
returns of SITS per ton were
received. The last returns were
the first to be received from
the Selby smelter, the earlier
shipments having been sent to
the Tacoma smelter.

The Chamber of Commerce has
received for free distribution
a thousand copies of a recent
% page special number of the
Alaska Weekly, of Seattle,
which will be devoted to adj
veTtising purposes. The special
number is descriptive of the
industries and resources of
Alaska and the British Column
bia mineral area, with num-
erous special articles and il
Illustrations dealing with vari-
Gus phases of Alaska life and
containing much authoritative
information. An especially eff
fective feature is a four page
rotogravure section, showing
birds eye views of the princi-
pal Alaska towns, scenic, in
dustrial, wild animal and other
views. It is probably the most
complete and interesting num-
Der ever issued by a newspaper
devoted to Alaska interests
and reflects great credit on
the enterprising publishers.

The Fire Protection commit
tee of the Chamber of Com
merce, Messrs. M Savovich,
Walter Blanton and Edgar
Provinse, acting on instructions
from that body, has already
taken the initial steps toward
the purchase of supply of
hand chemicals of suitable
type, which will be placed at,
what may be termed strategic
points in the residence and
business sections, where they
will be available at all times
in case of fire. AS the fund
now available for this purpose
is hardly more than half
enough to provide an adequate
number, the committee is pre-
pairing to give another enter
tainment Thanksgiving eve,
which it is hoped will supply
the rest of the money needed.

With most commendable dis
play of public spirit, the
Chamber of Commerce has
made arrangements with the
Western Union Telegraph Co.,
whereby the people of Hyder
will be able to receive immed-
lately full and authentic re-
turns of the forthcoming pres
idential election, November 4,
at an Entertainment to be given
in Pioneer Hall election night
under the Chamber auspices.
the program of which will in
Iclude dancing, movies and re-
freshments. The Chamber has
no desire to make more than
enough to meet the actual cost
of the bulletin service and en-
tertainment expenses, and has
placed the charge of admission
at $1-a very small price in
view of the entertainment of
fered. In order that those who
do not dance may come and
go as they please during the
evening, it has been arranged
to give out return checks to
those who apply.
In a communication to the
Herald, Norman r. Walker,
democratic candidate for Ter
ritorial senator, points out a
misquotation in the report of
his recent political address in
Pioneer Hall; wherein he was
made to say in reference to his
republican opponent, Senator
Hunt, that the latter had intro
duced only one bill during his
period as senator. AS Senator
Hunt has been the author of a
large number of. excellent
measures, the error is obvious
and has been found to be due
to a misleading of the notes
taken at the meeting.
The recent installation of a
new side walk between Inter
national Avenue and Pioneer
Hall is an Improvement greatly
appreciated by those who at
tend the various meetings and
entertainments centering in the
hiv hall

Alaskan, who is the inventor
and manufacturer of new
type of superheater for store
and household use, which he
is introducing in this section,
was a visitor in Hyder during
the stay of the Wales last

in many instances as much as
fifty per cent of fuel costs.
One of the devices has been
installed in the Golden Gate

considerable demand from the
mines, has enough mine timber
and building lumber on hand
to last for some time.

A musical entertainment in

of employees of the Premier
mine, was given at Premier

piano and violin numbers by

solo by Mrs. D. Jackson, char
acter sketch by Miss Prout, and
a mirthful one-act comedy in

SENATORS BEAT GIANTS
In FINAL SERIES TILT
Bucl1y Harris Leads solons to
"a Victory in
Twelfth

Somewhere bands are playing;
somewhere children shout the
whole worlds in uproar, for
johnson struck them out.
After six of the hardest fought
games of World Series history,
the Washington Senators and the
New York Giants entered the
arena this afternoon for the sew
enth and telling game of the ser
les. As the game was flashed
across the country, play by play,
over wireless and telegraph, all
business was dropped; the entire
populace Of these United States
forgot everything, even the com
ing election, in an effort to look
in on the game and pull for Wash
mgton. 1t took twelve innings to
do it; twelve innings of real base
ball and two hours of anxiety by
the spectators. And finally the
wires seemed to burn as the word
was flashed out that Washing
ton had won.
The game stood 3 to / until the
eighth. when the fireworks start
ed. With none down Liebold
went to bat as pinch hitter. He
drove out a sizzling two-bagger
along the foul line Two singles
brought him in and left Ruel on
third. McNally was up next and
singled, scoring Ruel. The side
was then retired.
johnson was sent to the box
the first of the ninth. He pitched
his old game again after his two
sad failures in preceding games
and held New York scoreless the
rest of the game. The ninth and
tenth were uneventful, but in the
last of the twelfth the Senator's
succeeded in putting the run
across which gave them the game.
This is the first time the Wash
ington club was ever in a World
Series and their success speaks
favorably for the little human dy-
namo on second base, Manager
Stanley Harris.
Even though Walter johnson
met defeat in the two games he
pitched earlier in the series, he
still holds the hearts of all base
ball fans throughout the country.
His work this afternoon was that
of genius; of one who was will
ling to give all he had for Wash
ington. IEe lad the confidence
of the players and knew they
would fight with him to Win
ming finish. And it was johnson,
who, in the great crisis of his car
eer, led the Washington Senator's
to victory in the World Series Of
1924.

VASElON SCHOOL. NOTES
By MeWs- WitingClass

A fumigation of the entire
school building took place, last
Saturday, according to directions
of the County Board of Health.
All books were opened to assure
their being thoroughly disinfec.
ted.
"a stitch in time saves nine,
believes Mr.. Lewis. Although no
contagious diseases are known in
the school or community, the
school was fumigated as a pre-
cautionary measure.
Approximately 300 books have
been moved from the Vashon lib
rary to the high school for the
students use. The first aid room
will be changed to a library. A
study table and shelves, making
the books handy to all students,
will be made. A new card index
rack has been purchased, making
system Of charging books pos
sible.
The books from the stockroom
are also to be moved downstairs.
A new set of Compton's encyclo-
pedias will be added to the source
material for reference. "With the
aid of a travelling library the
students should have plenty of
the necessary equipment with
which to work, f" says Viola Guah
RE, librarian.
The old stock room will be re
modelled into rest room operated
by the Girls Club. First aid
equipment will take the place of
the shelves now lining the walls.
A play consisting entirely of
seniors will be given during the
first semester, according to the
custom established. The classes
for several years, however, have
not been large enough to permit
an entire senior cast. With six
boys and six girls in the class this
year, only seniors will be repre-
scented. Proceeds from the play
will 90 to the senior treasury.
A new first aid kit will be fur
nished to the school by the Par
ent- Teachers Association.
''Greta, the Singing Girl" is
the operetta which, in all proba-
bility. will be given by the Glee
Club this semester. The operetta
in The main is humorous with a
touch of tragedy, making it very
delightful.
Work on Che "Lady of Sha-
lotte," cantata, -~ill start soon.
New singing book have also been
ordered which Miss Sewers be-
lieves will be great help to the
students assembly singing
