NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION
 MEMBER, NO. 7S39

The man who is laughed at today is revered tomorrow. They laughed at Bell and his telephone, Edison and his cleo tric light, and Langley with his crazy flying machine. The Wright brothers were derided, the discoverer of X rays was ridiculed, and the radio delu- sion" brought smiles and amusement.
 But not now!
 It is as impossible for us to say now that the road. of the future is to be, as it was impos- sible for us to say five years ago what the radio broadcast of today would be. An inventor wants to interest capital in making a roadway of steel. It will cost, if built, not thou sands but several hundreds of thousands per mile. Road builders laugh. The public laughs. We all laugh. Why pay three hundred thousand dol lars a mile for roads when we can get them for few thou- sands?" Twenty years ago the idea of paying twenty five thousand a mile for road was laughed at! This steel idea may be all wrong; it hasn't been tried. It may be chimerical in the extreme We don't know. But we do know that laughing at it because its is no way to
 prove it idiotic. Ten years ago
 people laughed at the idea of national highways. They don't
 laugh any more. The new idea IS always laughed at. Laughter doesn't prove anything ex-
 cept the standpat mind of the laugher. Maybe steel roads al
 three hundred thousand dollars a mile are impractical. But why not bring something else to bear on the question beside , laughter? The joke of yester
 day is the fact of today. Maybe C we will yet ride on nationa
 highways of steel!

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY
 ALONG WEST COAST

Twelve canneries will operate on the West Coast this season, in addition to six logging camps, which will be in oper- ation during the summer and fall, according to the Ketch- ikan Examiner. There will also be a large crew of men em- ployed at the marble quarry at |Tokeen, all of which, the Ex- Iaminer observes, should make the West Coast country quite lively this season.

Added to the disadvantages of long waits for delivery is the certainty Of Increased prices on practically every commod- ity of local consumption Mining costs will also advance in di- rect ratio with the added bur- den of transportation costs, thereby working a hardship on the prospector and miner and retarding to some extent the development of the mineral re- sources.
 Confronted with this undesir- able and detrimental prospect, it is time for the citizens of Hy- der to take cognizance of the situation and cast about for a rcmedy if they wish to avoid the effects of this splendid is- olation" conferred upon them by the transportation comp any, probably with the ulti-
 mate aim of extorting higher freight charges in return for direct service. The repeal of the Jones bill inhibitions would probably provide a means of overcoming the difficulty, but there is small hope for that for a long time to come, despite the readiness of certain con-
 greGsional representatives to
 admit that the law is unjust land discriminatory with respect
 to Alaska, henc it is is up to us
 to find other means of staving
 of the added drain on oul
 pocket books. A we'll known
 citizen has suggested that
 that the refusal of the Alaska
 Steamship Company to give u: direct service could be em ployed as a means of inducing congress to grant permission
 for the shipment of goods tt Hyder via the Canadian yes els plying between Seattle anC Stewart. Whether the proposa
 would meet with Congress ional approval depends to- { great degree on the suppor
 given it by our citizens. Witt
 the entire community behin'
 it, there is a by no means hop, |. less prospect that Congress f might take cognizance of ou l. difficulty and enable us to talk s advantage of the Canadian
 boat service, at least until sucl
 time as Hyder can provid
 enough traffic to induce tn s American boats to resume di ,. rect service.

The Alaska Steamship Comp
 any has announced that in fut-
 ure none of it's vessels will call
 at Hyder unless the traffic of- fered will insure profit on
 the trip. Inasmuch as the nor nal volume of traffic is light, if measured by the trip, this die tum of the company means that only on such occasions as the freight and passenger traf- fife ;s above the normal will we be granted the low rates and speedy service incident to dir Ut sallings from Seattle.
 Translated into still plainer terms i. means that unless merchandise shipments to this port exceed the average to a conside: able degree or when heavy shipments of mine mach inery and equipment are made wlil Hyder receive the bene- fits of direct service with it's chief supply center. Again it means that merchandise order ed from Seattle will be routed to Ketchikan, where it will be unloaded, at extra cost to the shipper, reloaded again, with still more costs to the shipper, and brought to Hyder on a small boat, with still more ex- pense to the shipper, to say nothing Of the additional de lay in delivering incident tc the extra long and roundabout route. This last is a matter o1 no inconsiderable importance in view of the fact that ship
 ments received via Ketchikar usually require close to two weeks, as against two to three days for direct shipments iron Seattle. The extra costs are thu paramount consideration, how ever, as they will affect il some degree every resident O
 Hyder. According to loca shippers the extra wharfage and freight tolls will add iron twenty five to forty per. cen to the freight charges for dir ect shipments. This will nat urally be passed on by the mer chant to the customer, thereb
 increasing the present cost o Gll commodities and placing an extra burden of living cost on the shoulders of every ir dividual in the community.
 It need hardly be said that thi will be pretty rough on Hydel
