Hyder weekly miner., 1924-03-31

Neil Mathieson, widely known old timer of this section is in the Stewart General Hos pital suffering from several broken ribs and a nasty aggre- gation of cuts and bruises on the head as a result of a fall sustained Tuesday morning while enroute to Stewart from the steamer Camosum, on which he had just returned from a visit to Vancouver.
 Mathieson started from the wharf along the abandoned piled roadway. The end of the old wharf approach was torn down last fall with the compile tion of the new wagon road but the gap is now bridged by two blanks. It was while crossing the blanks that Mathieson slipped and fell onto a mass of broken rock and timber some twenty feet or so below. He was picked up and taken to the hospital in a row boat, where his wounds were dressed and at last account he was getting along as we'll as may be expect ed.

SOUTH MAY GET BIG
EXPERIMENT STATION
Congress May Spend $4,000
To Perpetuate Southern
Soft Pine Industry

WASHINGTON, April 24.-The
South will have one of the largest
forest experiments stations if
bill Just passed by the Senate is &C
cepted by the House of Representa-
tives and the President, announces
The American Forestry Association.
The bill, known as S. 924, was in
troduced by Senator Fletcher, OF
Florida, and appropriates $4,000
for forest experiment station in
the southern pine region. The bill
has been approved by the Director
of the Budget as not being con-
trary to the financial policy of the
administration. Introduced in the
House of Representatives, it is
awaiting action by the Appropria-
tions Committee.
The Secretary of Agriculture, at
the request of the pine forests OF
the South Atlantic and Gulf States,
he said, covered from 1926 to 1870
million acres and had stand of
/ timber close to 100000, O00,0 600
! feet. Four-fifths of this stand has
been cut since 1870, and chiefly
since 1890. Moreover, the cutting
has been done in such . way that
81 million acres, or more than one
fourth of the present pine area OF
the region, is wholly unproductjve
and an additional so million acres
only partially productive, AS a re.
suit, the total cut of southern vel.
low pine is about three times the
annual growth, while in the case
of saw timber alone the present
cut is more than four times this
annual growth.
"These facts mean that the pro
duction of southern yellow pine
which for more than 20 years ha;
dominated the cut of softwood tim
Der in this country, can not be
maintained indefinitely.
ut is thus evident that the pres
ent timber situation in the Souh i.

SUCCESS is DEFINED
BY BUSINESS EXPERT
Definition of Record in Ameri-
can School of Commerce in
Atlanta

ATLANTA, April 24.-What is
success in Life?
Joel Hunter, business counsellor
and statistician Of Atlanta, has an
swered the question for the Ameri-
can School of Commerce in this
city and what he has had to say is
emblazoned on the records of that
institution. Here is Mr.. Hunters
definition:
"The answer to tins question
should start with the definition OF
the word Success. If we mean
riches as explified by the possession
sion of property, such as land, build
ings. stocks and bonds and money IN
the bank, then these may be ac-
ouired if we have the VIII to ac-,
ouire them. And it is, generally
speaking, sign Of an individual s
ability, industry and pertinacity to
acquire property. The man of prop
erty is generally a better citizen
than the man who has lived the bet
ter part Of his life without accunlu-
lating something.
at is also a means Of power to
be rich-to become the better able
to be a constructive force in the
community. We are encouraged,
not only by the Scripture but by
every force of precept and example,
to lay by in store for the future,
and l have a great respect for a
good, rich man and there are many
of them.
But do riches alone constitute
success? By no manner of means.
He who regards the acquisition of
mere things as mans supreme inter-
est in life will think in narrow
terms. He who thinks of life in
ethical terms will think of success
in ethical terms also.
eve know that nine of us liveth
to himself, and none dieth to him
self. The individual can reach the
highest capacity of man only
through society.
Therefore, it would follow that
real success can be accomplished by
fitting ones self to be a better citi-
zen by educational and other means,
to the end that our lives may serve
as an example to others to reach a
higher degree of unselfish service
to help others who are also striving
to do the same thing, and thus make
our community, our state and our
nation better than they were when
we came here"
