Hyder weekly miner., 1924-03-03

The miners and claim-owners of the Texas creek section are to be congratulated on their display of initiative in the ef-
 'ort now in progress to secure the construction of a wagon
 road up the Texas Creek val ley.
 Without noise or buster, or
 without seeking to enlist
 the laggard assistance or SUD- port of the business elements of the community, they have
 prepared and forwarded to the road authorities of the district a petition signed by a major ty of those interested in the
 Texas section calling attention
 to the need for an open high
 way to that new and wonder fully mineralized but practic- ally inaccessible area. In
 addiion to laying the matter
 before the road officials, the committee also addressed cop ies of their petition to the Alas
 ka delegate to Congress and other influential agencies, re-
 questing their assistance in
 furthering this much needed public improvement.
 Whether their efforts achieve the desired results Or not, they have given us a display of the spirit that brings into being not only roads and trails but also builds towns and cities, creates public improvements of every
Hyder weekly miner., 1924-03-03

It is useless to expect that the newly formed steamship company can accomplish this much desired change. Unless given the fullest possible SUD- port by the Alaska people it can scarcely continue to exist in competition with the gigan-
 ic shipping monopoly, backed by the predatory influence of the Seattle business leeches to whom it is the bond that holds Alaska a helpless victim
 o their commercial greed. But
 is at least a step toward the much desired time when Alas. ka transportation will be han dled by and for the benefit ot the people of the Territory and as such it is welcome to every real Alaskan,

nature and is the basis of all communal progress. It is re- grettable indeed that there is is not similar spirit manifest among the business elements of the community for much good would undoubtedly result from it. By adopting a similar policy the business interests could not only help the miners of the district in securing such
 public Improvements as are needed to properly develop the mineral resources but by unan- imous effort could accomplish many things in furthering the growth and welfare of Hyder.
 Hyder needs more than any thing observable the develop ment of that same community spirit and unanimity of action displayed by the miners.
 In the words of the proverb, "All things come to those who only stand and wait" but there is no gainsaying the fact that things will come decidedly sooner if those who want them get busy and go after them.

VAST JOURNEYS
 MADE BY SALMON

That salmon may migrate for a thousand miles of more was recently proved by exper- irnents conducted by the U. s. Bureau of Fisheries. A number of salmon, each bearing a met al tag, were planted during 1922 in Alaska coastal waters by Dr. c. Gilbert, professor of zoology at Stanford University.
 Later a Siberian fisherman reported that one of the mark ed fish had been caught in the Pankhara river on the coast of Siberia, more than 1000 miles from the Alaska coast where the fish was planted. Others were caught on the Pacific coast as far as 800 miles south of Alaska.

The announcement that a real Alaska steamship company has been incorporated, with bona fide Alaskans as it's chief stock holders and in control of it's op- erations, will be good news to all real Alaskans, for the reas- on that it holds forth certain measure of hope that it will De operated with at least some re, gard for the welfare of the Territory and it's people in- stead of for the benefit and in the interest of Seattle, which has demonstrated time and again that it's interest in Alaska is 2 minus quality when noth- inCis to be gained by it's man. Hesitation.
 Il is true, of course, that the new company can do but little at best toward relieving the Territory of the transportation evils resulting from the present monopoly but it is nevertheless an opening wedge that may one day shatter the transport ation shackles which now bind Alaska in species of subserv- fence to those who look upon her only as a source of gain, to be exploited to the fullest poss-. ible extent when it pays and forgotten when there is TO prospect of immediate finan- cial rewards.
 To reach the fullness of her development Alaska must es- cape the tolls of the incubus which now battens upon her resources through control of the transportation facilities linking her isolated shores with the distant marts of commerce. A new ocean highway must be laid and it can come only thru the establishment of new
  steamship lines. Then and then only can Alaskans hope for an era of transportation that will aid the development of the Territory instead of hin- dering it by multitudinous ex- tortiOns exacted in equally multitudinous ways under the plea of economic necessity, which has been repeatedly shown not to exist, save per- haps in the minds of those who seek to delude the easy going Alaskans into the belief that what is cannot be avoided.
