120 Miles of Brick
Made From One Yard

Some years ago-and it seems
mighty long ago, too-there was a
song that contained the words Hes
the Mick that threw the brick
Nobody, of course, knows Just
where that famous brick came from,
but one thing is certain If it. comes
from the yard of George Robichaud
on Mt. Vernon avenue. the chances
are mighty good that whatever the
brick hit knew that it had received
good solid blow.
Robichaud's brick yard is noted for
| the high quality of the brick that are
manufactured. Water struck brick
, are featured and as all masons know
| this is the kind of brick that is in the
greatest demand for it's wearing
qualities. The yearly capacity of the
/ Robichaud yards is a million brick
In other words. if all the bricks that
could be made in a year at Robi-
chaud's were placed end to end they
would stretch in a straight line for
a distance of over 100 miles.
Robichaud bricks have been used
all up and down the Kennebec valley
and they are in constant demand
good proof of their high quality and
! trueness Of form.

Two Shops Needed
By Carey & POulin
Carey & Poulin repair shoes.

Carey & Poulin repair shoes.
To some that may not mean much,
but when it is considered that the
man or men who repair shoes in these
days have to know their job, it means
a whole lot.
Messrs. Carey & Poulin have been
associated together for less than a
year. but each one of them has been
in business in Augusta for a number
of years. Busy men they have been
all thl time and now that they have
come together into partnership
they are buster than ever.
Two repair shops are operated by
them: one on Water street opposite
the Colonial theatre. and the other
on Cony hill. Both are kept busy
every working hour.

 Combining clever artistry with much ingenuity, Axel Peterson, chef de luxe at the Ideal Cafe, has assembled in the display window of that popular establishment a pano- rama of local scenic beauties and mining activities we'll worth looking at. The pano- rama depicts a tall lighthouse beside a body of water with a background of lofty glacier capped peaks, rising from a green and wooded valley. Fronting the mountain slopes is the entrance to a mine tun- nuel, from which tiny autos are bringing loads of ore down a steep and rocky trail to a camp building situated in the foreground. The display is made doubly unique in that the walls of the lighthouse and building are made up of gilt tering encrustations of local ores and minerals. Practically every variety of ore found in the district, from free milling gold quartz, showing flakes of the precious metal, to sil- yer, lead, zinc, iron, copper and other ores are included i'll the glistening walls of the towering lighthouse and form a most interesting and effect i've display of the dstrict's min- eral forms. The panorama was made by MT. Peterson in spare hours and required sev- eral months to complete.

WORK RESUMED
 ON INDIAN

Work on the Indian mine is again in full swing under the management of w. s. Orr, after several months shut down.
 According to present contem- plations, operations will be continued throughout the win ter, and shipments of high grade will be made at the rate of about 150 tons per month.
 Excellent returns have been received from trial shipments of ore sent to Swansea, Wales, last summer, the smelter re- ports showing values of SIG per ton. A large amount of the same ore is already on the lump and will be shipped as soon as conditions warrant.

PORTER IDAHO
 OUTPUT INCREASED

The seasons output of ore from the Porter Idaho will ap- proximate something over two hundred tons, or an increase of about fifty tons over the record established last year.
 Shipments made during the season of 1924 aggregated slightly more than 147 tons valued, according to the smelt- CT returns, at $24,369.10, and netting $21,4O3.63 after all de- ductions were charged off.
 Assuming that the ores ex- tracted this year carry similar values, the net value of this years output should approxi- mate $33,000. It is probable, however, that the returns for the present year will amount to considerably more, as the ore extracted is known to car ry higher values.

FINE RETURNS FROM
 SILVER BAR ORE

Shelter returns from a trial shipment of ore from the Out land Silver Bar properties at the head of Salmon River Val ley shows values of $160.04 in gold, silver and lead, ac- cording to a communication to the Herald from F. c. Outland of Seattle, managing director of the Outland Silver Bar com pany.
 The shipment referred to comprised 50 sacks taken from a five foot lead of silver-lead ore carrying large quantities of gray copper discovered on the property by MT. Outiand late last summer. The returns received are characterized by MT. Outland as quites satis- factory, inasmuch as quite a bit of ths shipment was com posed of surface ore.
 Respecting the future con- temptations he says:
 Ut is our plan now to settle down to real development in the spring and we believe old Silver Bar will be on the ship ping list next summer"

 The manufacture of pulp will be resumed at the plant of the Alaska Pulp and Paper Com- pany, at Speel River, in about 30 days, it was announced by w. P. Lass, manager. The mill is now being put in readiness for operation. Lack of reas- enable market for its product forced the mill to suspend op- erations about two years ago. Some of the large stockholders have personally interested themselves in the development of a market for the mill. Their investigations finally led to the construction of a machine for manufacturing cardboard con- tainers, for which there is ali excellent market, and it is be- lieved this may solve the prob lem of marketing the product of the mill.

A movement launched some lime ago in the States to ere ate a perpetual memorial to he memory of the late Wood 'ow Wilson has reached Alas "a and is now being conduct n the Territory under the di- ,ection of E. J. (Stroller) White, of Juneau, chairman Cor Alaska, of the Woodrow Wilson Birthplace Memorial Appeal; assisted by commit ,ees, in each of the important owns and villages in the Ter ritory.
 As stated by MT. White, the object of the campaign is to erect at Staunton, Virginia, he birthplace of the late presi- Int, a national shrine on the campus of Staunton College, where he received his educat- on, a Woodrow Wilson Mem )rial Hall, in testimony of the honor and esteem in which he vas held by the American people.
 No large contributions are solicited, as the sum of S5OO,- 900 is all that is proposed to amount when distributed over ahe United States and possess ,ons, and in the making up of which, there is every reason for believing Alaskans will do their share. The names of all contributors will be placed in 2 bound volume and each con tributor will receive a suitable certificate of acknowledge. nent. Chairman White has lared the editor of this paper as local chairman, but the hon. or has been declined and some other individual will probably De named in the near future.
 The project is one in which every true American should be interested. Woodrow Wilson vas undoubtedly Gne of the 2reatest of all .AnerIcans and the pe1petuation of his mem- orE is , sacred duty of the tilion and people which gave him bilth.

William Burnham, a resident of Stewart and employed at the Indian mine, committed suicide last week by blowing his head off with a charge ot dynamite. Dependency is be- lieved to have been the cause of the rash act.
 The deceased was employed as a cook and arrived at the mine only the day before the fatality occurred. He was well known in the district and ell joyed the esteem of a wide circle of friends to whom his untimely death was a great schock.

 The motorship Norco, of the Northland Transportation Co.,, Captain Sydney c. Hooper, master, completed her maiden voyage between Seattle and Hyder Monday evening. The vessel brought good sized batch of local freight, in ad- dition to several passengers. The cargo included about 100 tons of general merchandise. After a stay of several hours the vessel left for Ketchikan, enroute to more northerly ports. The ship presents a fine appearance and attracted much attention during its stay in port. According to the pass engers, the Norco is a splendid vessel, with excellent accom- modations and fine service. Capt. Hooper is an old time Alaskan mariner and we'll known in a majority of Alas ka ports.

PREMIER EMPLOYEE
 DIES FROM INJURIES

Harry Bedore, employed as 3 brakeman on the ore train n the Premier mine, died in he Premier Hospital Sunday evening as a result of injuries sustained in an accident in the nine early last week.
 Bedore was badly crushed as ] result of being caught be- tween a car attached to the electric ore train and the inbering in one of the tunnels. The accident occurred while he train was being backed ,nto a drift. Bedore is said to have alighted to give signals, which appear to have not been seen by the engineer. As the 5rain continued backing up, Bedore, unable to step aside in safety owing to the narrow ness of the drift, was forced against the heavy timbers by he oncoming cars, his body being compressed into a space scarcely eight inches in width. before the train could be stop ped.
 After several days in the hospital an operation was per- performed by Dr. Carson, mine physician, assisted by Dr. Whillans of Stewart, but prov ed intellectual. After a brief rally the unfortunate man 7ank slowly to the end.
 Deceased was aged twenty five years and is survived by relatives in British Columhia. The remains were sent out on the Cardena Monday evening.

would be only about a four nile extension.
 At the foot of the glacier here is a large area of level ground where a hotel could be constructed out of logs obtain able right there. A golf course could also be easily arranged and the glacier could be im- proved so 8 good horse or foot path could be readily obtain able.
 This glacier is very different from most others in that the tourist could be on it immedl- ltely after arriving and could 20 as far as he liked or return whenever he felt he had seen enough.
 This district, both in Alaska and British Columbia is very heavily mineralized and the tourist would also have an op- portunity of seeing many nin- ;ng properties in operation, also aerial tramways, which would interest everyone.
 This trip would really be something quite different from any other places where the tourist might go.
 If few of the transportation companies would get together, the expenditure (for develop ing and bringing before the public) would be very l'ght and the results obtained would more than repay them.
 Summer weather in this dis trict is simply wonderful. Pass engers could obtain an auto at Stewart, B. C., Hyder, B. c. or Hyder, Alaska, which are only few minutes apart, and within an hour be on the glacier. This is possibly one of our most wonderful undevel- oped summer resorts.

TEXAS BRIDGE SITES
 REMOVE HEAVY GRADE

Complete removal of the heavy grade from the cable crossing on Texas Creek prop CT to a point above the pres ent switch backs about one mile up the west fork is con- templated in the new bridge surveys made recently by R. c. Ingram, Bureau of Public Roads engineer, under the tel egraphic instructions by M. D. Williams, Assistant District Engineer, in charge of the work of that department in this division.
 MT. Ingram ran two survey lines across Texas Creek, the first about 2O0O feet above the cable crossing and another about N mile above the lat ter point. The former site has a span of about 300 feet, with solid rock on either side of the line of survey. From the bridge site a line was run with a grade of only 5 per cent to a point above the most westerly of the switchbacks, thereby cutting out almost en- tirely the heavy up hill climb from the creek level necessi- tated by the present pack trail route.
 MT. Ingram stated that the upper site is located at a point on the main Texas about one mile below the glacier, with solid rock rims on each side. Owing to the narrowing of the creek at this point a span of only 102 feet would be re- quired to bridge the stream. The site is considerably higher than the one first mentioned and would afford a practic- ally level grade to a point '' the present pack trail. about three fourths of a mile west of Texas Creek. Although eminently suitable in many re- spects, the last mentioned site has one drawback, MT. In- gram said. This is in the shape of a slide on one side, but whether it was moving or not he was unable to determine in the short time available.
 The lower site is much the best for landings, but either could probably be utilized with excellent benefit to trav- el both ways.
 Asked regarding the feasi- bility of enlarging the pres ent trail to accommodate wag- on traffic, MT. Ingram said there were no serious obstacles to prevent the construction of practically level wagon road as far as the trail extends.

HIBBARD WORKING ON
 TOURIST PROJECT


 ties of the Portland Canal dis trict as tourist resort was not a mere passing fancy, is amp ly indicated by a communicat- ion received by the Herald, which discloses that he is at tempting to interest capital IL the construction of a hotel at the foot of Salmon Glacie,l which is described in an a., companying prospectus as "one of the grandest sights America can produce for the tourist and sight seer" Working with the character istic energy which has mace him one of the business leaders of Seattle, MT. Hubbard has al- ready taken up the project with the officials of the Can- adian Pacific and Canadian National Railways and other influential sources. He says:
 "I feel very sure that if We can get this road" (from the Premier road to Salmon Glac- ier) "constructed we can get a lot of people to visit that section right away. I think ii can be made one of the most attractive spots for tourists to visit and where very little ex- ertion would be required to see the most wonderful glacier and mountain scenery in North America"
 In conclusion Mir. Hubbard says:
 "I am going to keep right after this and hope you folks will give such assistance as you can, so that we can have this operative at the very earli- est time"
 The prospectus sent out by MT. Hubbard in his efforts to further the proposal reads as follows:
 The people of North Amer ica are always looking for sight seeing trips and pleasant summer resorts. A trip to the Salmon River Glacier on the boundary line between Alaska and British Columbia, near Hyder, Alaska and Stewart, B. C., in the Portland Canal District, is one of the grand est sights America could pro- duce for the tourist and sight seer.
 The Salmon Glacier is more than twenty-five miles long and walking over this field of 1 ice one encounters the same conditions that would be en- countered going over a large area of land; that is, large streams of water, many small ones, valleys, quite steep hills of ice, then crevasses where all of the surface waters fall to the bottom, in places fully two thousand feet below. Then the mountains on either side of the glacier are simply won- derful to behold.
 Tourists could take a boat either in Seattle or Vancouver for Hyder, Alaska or Stewart, B. c. and after two or three days of scenic travel be right at the glacier. It would be necessary first, however, to ex- tend the automobile road to the foot of the glacier. This

are so remarkable that one has told

not produce such a wholesome effect as
