RYDER SITE FOR
 SALMON CANNERY

The recent removal of more than nine tons of salmon from Spring Creek between the Rozenstain store and the Hovland residence by Messrs. Ernest Blue, John Hovland and others who are desirous of preserving the purity of the atmosphere in that locality. has revealed that Hyder pos5- esses excellent possibilities as 3 cannery site.
 That great numbers of sal mon annually spawn in Spring Creek is known to everyone who has resided in Hyder. At the height of the spawning season this small stream rum ming through town is fairly packed with salmon of various species; but few have guessed that they represented any things like the weight indicat- ed by the recent removal, which included both dead and living fish. According to those interested in the project there is no doubt as to the accuracy of the weight of the fish taken from the stream, as they were hauled away in a 1-ton truck, each loaded with all it would hold. Many of the salmon were found to be from 20 to 25 pounds in weight. As the
 salmon season is not yet over
 there is prospect that the tonnage of fish actually con- ing into this one stream will amount to 12 or Is tons. About 75 per cent are of the variety known as chuns, the remaining 25 per cent being made up of echoes and hum- pies, all of them splendid food
 fish. It is these varieties which compose the bulk of the Alas ka salmon pack.
 Assuming that another 9 tons of salmon come annually to the small creek below the townsite, we have a total Of IS tons of fish with which to form a basis for computing the total which might be talk an or cannery purposes. As a vastly greater number of sal mon come into Salmon River and Fish Creek to spawn it is probable that the total weight of fish reaching those streams will approximate 50 tons, mak- ing a total of at least 68 tons.
 As allowance must be made for escapement, let us assume that only 30 tons of these fish are taken for canning. Packed in the usual 1-pouId cans, this quantity of fi5h would represent 60,0O0 cans or 1250 cases of AS cans each. Estimating the average price per case at $4 this would yield an annual income of more than $500. In reality the revenues would be consid erably larger, as more fish could be actually taken and canned than the above fig ures show and still permit sui ficient escapement to keep the various streams we'll stock ed, hence it appears that small one-line cannery could be made a profitable invest ment.

SAYS KENO GROUP
 SHOWING UP WELL

The Keno group in the upper Texas Creek section is show ing up exceedingly we'll as de- velopment work proceeds and is unquestionably a property possessing excellent prospects of developing into a real mine, according to c. B. Murphy, one of the original locators who spent a few days in town last week.
 Mir. Murphy and N. H. Stew ems who was 8 joint owner in the original locations, have been doing development work on the group during a large part of the season and with most encouraging results. In addition to tracing out some of the fine looking galena showings, which run through the property, the partners have also done considerable underground work, including the driving of about 50 feet of tunnel.
 The group comprises nine claims and is situated close to the Texas Creek Comstock properties on the west side of Ferguson Glacier at an alti- tude of about 40O0 feet. In ad- dition to Messrs. Murphy and Stevens, a number of local and Ketchikan people are now associated in the ownership.

HOW DID HE
 GET THAT WAY?

1 SSVeraA WeekS ll the QlSCr1ct this summer is not not only a most genial gentleman, but is also something of a romancer, to judge by the following de- eidedly bald perversion of facts anent the Hyder district credited to him by his home town paper the Tusla Tribune. If the genial Louis actually wrote all the statements at tributed to him, he is assured ly the possessor of imaginat- i've qualities second only to the famous Baron Munchasen, This, however, is not 8 valid excuse for handing Hyder a nasty "black eye" in order to make himself appear in the light of 8 bold and fearless adventurer before his friends back in the jack rabbit count Try. Some of the things he says can be overlooked in view of his obvious desire to appear heroic; but when he openly declares that "the human 
 driftwood of the world is here" and that "there is no law in this remote region," we feel that he is rather overstepping the limits of toleration. Did but time and space permit we would be tempted to give l friend Louis a proper "pan- ming" for holding up our high ly progressive and law abidr ling community nest of human derelicts and still in the "wild and woody" stage of development, merely to adorn a fancy tale for the folks back home. Here is his little romance.
 Louis Lefko, Tulsa attorney and former secretary of the Better Business Bureau, has a pick and a pan and is digging for gold on top of the world, according to letters just re- ceived from him at Hyder, Alaska, by w. D. Hoover, Orpheum building, a former legal associate.
 'Lefko left Tulsa six weeks ago bound for Nome, Alaska. He expected to make a stay of two or three months. Now he may stay two or three years for the benefit of his pocket book, since his letters intimate he has high hopes of striking it rich.
 'I finally landed at Hyder, Alaska, after a long and event full trip by land and sea-" his letter to Hoover say, ''I did not get to Nome at all, but chang ed my course at Vancouver, B. C., and came on here when I learned of the big gold strike in this locality. ! am outfitting here for a three weeks trip into the toughest country in the world in search of gold.
 Yesterday it took half a day to make 8 mile and a half round trip. At one point we had to climb 8 perpendicular cliff of 100 feet on a shaky timber ladder. One slip and it would have been goodnight for us. The mountains are covered with glaciers for the most part, and one mine which pays $50 ton is 4,O00 feet above sea level, on a nar- row trail, down which it is nee cnsaarv fof. horses fo nack

Miss Hazel Wilson, neiece of Mrs. Dale l.. Pitt, sustained a broken ankle while gathering ferns in the vicinity of the Premier mine Monday morn ing. According to the inform ation received, Miss Wilson had ascended the steep hill side above the mine to pick ferns for decorations at the wedding of Thomas Powers and Miss Eleanor Peck, which took place at the Pitt resi- dence- Monday. -evaninG-S1n stepping across a log, Miss Wilson failed to see a small hole or crack on the farther side, with the result that her foot was caught in the crevice. As there was no one within calling distance, Miss Wilson endeavored to extricate her foot alone and in so doing twisted the member in such a way that a bone was snapped. Although suffering severely, Miss Wilson retained her pres ence of mind and, realizing that she was too far from the mine to make herself heard by calling for help. she pro- ceeded to slide down the steep accliWty until she reached a point where she could see one of the employees at work. She succeeded in attracting his attention and was speedily carried to the home of her aunt, where the serious nat ure of her injury was revealed. Owing to the remoteness of the place where the young lady was injured, it was due entire ly to her grit and resourceful- ness that she did not spend several painful hours on the mountain side before help came.

Rissaa In Poetry

1t was Erasmus who waxed eloquent
on the hospitable English custom OF
kissing. This excellent practice the
social convention of today has tightly
shorn. The kiss. ceremonial has al
most passed from US; even at we'd
dings it II graced more in the breach
than in the observance. Lovers, how
ever, it may be supposed. still traffic
in this delicate barter land though
poets of the period have small use for
the kiss, 1t gems our greater litera-
ture with golden moments.
Tennyson, the singer of country
meadows and of the gentle, perfect
knight, touches rare heights Of unex-
pected passion when. in 'Fatima," he
gives us ecstasy within three lines:
o love, o fire; Once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul thro
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.
Browning burning kisses paint I'm
a Gondola" with flamelike ardor. '1n
a wonderful crescendo he gives us
first the moths KISS. then the bees
But Shelley does not scale the noun
tain tops of desire. He touches only
in lighter vein upon the kiss:
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea.
What are all these kisSings worth,
If thou kiss not me?
Shakespeare is chary of the kiss

members listened attentively to his
responses.
In executive session, the committee

Wednesday the beginning of its work
on drafting the tax reduction meas
ure 1t plans to present to the house
when congress convenes. Chairman
Green announced that, If additional
appeals(fo hearings were received,
the committee would continue its
public sessions Monday and Tuesday.
Mr.. Adams suggested, however,
that a commission be appointed to
study means for simplifying the law.
and also proposed that, instead of
continuing the mass Of personal ex-
emptions, a fiat Is percent deduction
on gross income be allowed and the
tax applied to the remainder.
Representative Treadwell, Repub-
lican, Massachusetts,, announced he
would propose appointment of the
commission.
