Highway Official Looks
For Increased Tourist
Travel in 1925

With the tourist season rapidly
nearing the various towns along the
different lines of travel are becoming
interested as to what the seasons re-
turns will be in the same manner as
the cattle baron watches the market
on range cattle a little closer as the
time for shipment approaches. 1t is
a matter of money.
Every association engaged in the
promotion of tourist business main
tains that improved business condi-
tons in the east or middle east: more
optimism and cleaner bank statements
in the agriculture districts; the
heaviest automobile sales of moderate
priced cars ever reported in the dairy
districts mean added tourists and
state that the matter of supplying this
increase in numbers with maps and
advertising matter is becoming Ser
ious.
In conversation with A. l.. Kyes,
general manager for the Back and
Yellow Trail, from Chicago through
to the Yellowstone Park, via, Cody,
who was in Cody this week, the re-
porter puts this question:
"What will Wyoming get this year
from tourist ~business?" Without a
moments hesitancy Mr.. Kyes repli-
ed" More money than in any one
year of her previous experience with
the tourist business" He went on
and briefly summed the situation as
follows: Wyoming is comparatively
little known as a state offering worlds
of scenery. While Yellowstone Park
has entertained thousands of guests
annually, it is National, is abstract,
and is not thought of by the man from
Ohio, Illinois, or Indiana as being
closely related with Wyoming. Wyo-
ming to the easterner is just one more
state that must be crossed to reach
the Park. This condition must be
changed. Wyoming offers much that
will fit in to make the trip to the
Park perfect. Your roads are good
and so arranged that many of the
worth while places are easily acces-
sible. The association will continue
to get tourists in added number to
visit the Yellowstone Park and if
Wyoming as a state is to profit to the
full extent petty iealousies between
towns must be elimated and an effort
made to keep the tourist within the
state, the recipient of your true West
ern hospitality.

RICH GOLD STRIKE
 ON BIG MISSOURI

A vein of gold ore carrying values in excess of an ounce a ton has been made by Man ager Pat Daily on the Big Mis- souri, according to reliable re- ports reaching town during the first days of the week. The strike is said to have been made in what is called on the ground, the Daly extension ot the old Mann tunnel, run many years ago by the Sir Donald Mann interests and subsequently, abandoned. In addition to being of vast inn portance to the property and district, the strike provides ample justification for the theory of MT. Daily that thoss who preceded him in exploraJ- ion of the property were not aware of the true strike ana dip of the veins found on the surface. Mir. Daly has alwayo contended that this was the case and his argument appears to have been fully sustained by his own discoveries during the progress of present devel- opment.
 The gold strike was accomp- lished by MT. Daily by the simple process of of going i'll a direction which his prede- cessors did not go. By running a cross cut from the Mann tunnel in an easterly direction about 100 feet from the portal he struck the ore within a few feet, with the vein apparently paralleling the old tunnel. The tunnel is said to have penetrated the vein about < feet at the time the repor came down and had not reached the farther wall.
 Owing to the discovery of a fracture in the engine fly wheel last week, the com pressor was out of commission for some time until the wheel was welded at Premier, but Is probably in operation by this time.

NEW MAIL SCHEDULE
 IS ANNOUNCED

Official advices received by Postmaster Oren F. Hill an- nounce a twice-a-week Seattle Hyder mail schedule via the Canadian steamers, as fol- lows:
 The first weekly mail will leave Seattle every Monday at 8 a. m. to connect with c. N, R. steamers leaving Vancouver every Monday night and ar irving at Hyder every Thurs day at 2 a. m.
 Outgoing mail by this boat will close at the postoffice at $50 a. m.
 The second mail leaves Se- attle at 8 a m. very Friday to connect with the steamer Cardena, leaving Vancouver every Friday night and arriv- ing at Hyder every Monday night. Outgoing mail for the Cardena closes at the postof- flee at 11:30 p. m. Monday night.

Arrangements whereby the motorship Norco will call at this port once a month during the winter have been compleb- ed by the Northland Trans portation Go. and the Salmon River Dock Co.,, local agents, according to an announcement made by J. A Talot, manager of the dock company, who paid the camp a flying visit on the Wales last Thursday. MT. Talbot stated that the ar arrangements made will insure the Norco calling on a 30-day schedule until spring, after which the vessel will probably run into this port every 20 days, to meet the increased demands of the summer traf-  fife.
 Late telegraphic advices to the Salmon River Dock Com pany report that the Norco vii leave Seattle on her next voyage to Hyder December o.
 Proprietor Frank Nagle has closed down the motion pict- ure show while certain changes are made to meet winter con- ditions. MT. Nagle extends his thanks to the public for their patronage during the season.

proportionately we need only to spend $10,0O0." The speak CT said while jetties have been constructed along the river and have helped us to some extent, they have not been sufficient to over come the danger. As was the case at Valdez, there is no reason why the work should not be con- tinued to such time as success is achieved.
 The Geological Survey has had a representative in the field here for 3 successive years, he asserted, and he has said that nowhere on the American continent was there the prospect for so great a mineral belt as the West Fork of Texas Creek; everywhere he looked he saw mineral. The B. c. government, he said, is not leaving a stone unturn- etd to make that province the greatest mineral producing country in the world. Where they spend dollars we are spending pennies, although our prospects are at least as good. He next alluded to the recent shipment of ore from the Homestake costing $50 per ton for transportation, with a like cost for grub, powder and tools.
 ''If we were given a road in- to this section," he declared, five could show ore enough inside or a year 10 pay TOT II. One or two properties alone could do that, he continued, and there are a dozen or more up there. He also mentioned the McDonald-C -Cronholm prop critics near Salmon Glacier, where a good sized tonnage of ore was taken out and shipped without the use of powder, and asserted that a trail to that property was needed and which incidentally, would help others in that locality.
 MT. Blue concluded his re- marks with the declaration that mo enterprise the gov ernment could enter into would pay as good a return as would the Salmon River dis trict."

T. H. Evans, superintendent of the Bureau of Public Roads activities in this section dis cussed the road situation. MT. Evans said he was not able to enlighten the meeting as to the cost of the projected road to the cable crossing on Texas Creek, but he had. assisted R. c. Ingram, the Bureau of Pub lie Roads engineer, in his sur- vey of the project and stated that MT. Ingram thought it would cost about $20,000 a mile to build.
 Delegate Sutherland was in- troduced by the chairman and after thanking the Chamber of Commerce for the honors ex- tended him and the privilege of meeting the business ele- ments of Hyder, launched into a characteristic address on the Alaska road situation in general, and vigorously eX- pounded his views on this and other topics, including the To- cal flood protection and road needs, in addition to other matters affecting the Terri tory and this district.
 "As to the question of roads and trails" he said, "I went to Congress on a plank of greater appropriations for roads and trails, as 1 felt that was the great necessity for Alaska; and in the five years I have been there, 1 feel that wonderful progress has been made along that line. In 1921 the Forestry Highway Act was extended to Alaska, which has resulted in half a million a year additional money for the last five years. Prior to this we got but S200,OO0 to $25O,- coo a year. This year as a re- suit, he had $9O0,000.
 I have never been so much impressed with the necessity for constructing roads in Alas ka as I was this year." MT. Sutherland stated that he had spent a good many years mining in the remote sections off Alaska and we'll appreci- ated the value of good roads. He remarked that he had been in the Interior with Ed Fern aid and B. B. Smith and de- clared that if they had the. money they have paid out for transportation costs in Alaska, they could retire and take life easy in California.

 ing on bringing up a mann moth dredge from Puget Sound or California to dredge Wrangell Narrows and it might be possible to secure authority for using one here n dredging out the river channel and making a gravel ill to keep the river in check. They could fill in bulkheads in ] short time, he said.
 Referring to the flood pyo- 5ection given Valdez, Mir. Sutherland said the mo ley was appropriated for that purpose by Congress direct, adding, however, that it was he only instance on record of yuch an appropriation being made.
 After stating that a fl o1 danger similar to that of Hyder exists at Seward, the delegate admitted that it would he a difficult matter to get an aD- propriation to protect the town.
 The delegate next discussed the recent Alaska legislat- 'on, including the Industrial School enactment, and the Fisheries and Game bills. He considered the fisheries bill about the best that could be passed, stating that if there is any wrong manifest under it's operation, it does not lie in the bill itself, but rathcr with those who enforce it.
 The game law, he said, is a good law for the Territory and protective and beneficicial to it's citizens. Under it's provis- ions aliens are required to obtain license, for which {. fec of S100 is charged, which corresponds to the Canadian game laws.
 At this juncture MT. Blue asked the delegate regarding an appropriation of S7,500 made 4 years ago for the con- struction of a court house at Hyder, stating that he had heard that an additional S7,500 had been authorized to be taken out of what i3 known as Fund C." of the District Court. MT. Sutherland stated that he would find out what had happended to this appropriation.
 Regarding the Alaska mail service, the next topic taken up by the delegate, he said he found when in Wrangell that they had published there a letter from MT. Sutherland's secretary in reply to a tcle- gram, in which the second as- sistant postmaster general was quoted virtually to the effect that there need be no alarm over the mail situation, as the department intended to give

 Congress and made a most empha:;c protest aga '&t the construction of raads parallel ing water cour,C' at4d rail roads, and pointed out that the money expended on such highways should be used with a view to developing mining. This opinion was approved by the congressman, he stated, and the view was expressed that they had gone far enough ! in extending roads from some of the Alaska towns for the benefit of pleasure seekers. He believed that the department was inclined to follow this policy and expend road funds in a manner to assist in the de- velopment of the mining sect ions.
 q am going back to Con- gress," he declared, "to insist that they build a road up Tex as Creek. With the splendid price now offered in the mark ct for silver and lead, the op- portunity is in sight for devel- opment here. I think that the Bureau of Public Roads will take up the proposition in view of the large amount of ore that would be shipped out on the road. All the power l have" he continued, lis to kick and protest, and beg and appeal but I will employ ev- cry means to that end"
 , The delegate next referred to the harbor improvement pro- posal, for which he obtained an appropriation for survey during the previous congress, and informed his auditors that he had been able to get eight bills through the Con- gress authorizing harbor sur veys throughout the Territory. This was a most unusual num- Der to be authorized. He put in seven of the measures him. self, although there were sup posed to be no more than 3, but was abla to convince the secretary of the committee on River and Harbors that we needed them. One of the num- Der was for the survey of Fly der harbor. Another was add ed in the Senate, bringing the list to eight
 With reference to the flood protection matter and the prospects for securing an ap- propriation for that purpose, MT. Sutherland stated that it would be a difficut matter to secure the authorization of the proposal. He pointed out that the river proposition does not come under the Rivers and Harbors bill regulations, nor could it be taken care of i by the Bureau of Public Roads, as the road and trail funds of that department can not be employed for such mat ters as flood protection. MT. Sutherland said that the diff ficutly might be met in an other way. however, stating that the government is figur-

DELEGATE PROMISES AID
 FOR LOCAL PROJECTS

week WIl1lG OH HIS way IO Washington, D. C., promised all possible personal aid in se- curing the construction of the much needed Texas Creek road at dinner given in his honor by the Chamber of Com merce Wednesday evening. Capt. Dessus, commander of U. s. s. Cygan, which brought the delegate to Hyder, and MT. Quist, officer in charge of the Alaska Cable and government radio service in Southeastern Alaska, were also guests of the Chamber. The dinner was held at the Ideal Cafe and was attended by about 40 persons. Following an excellent repast prepared by Mein host Max Behrmann, President Merl F. Thomas welcomed the visitors on behalf of the Chamber and introduced a number of local speakers, whom he said would acquaint the delegate with To- gal transportation difficulties, and particularly those of the Texas Creek section, and with the need for securing protect ion for the town against the Salmon River flood menace. John Hovland was the first speaker called and informed the assemblage that the mat ter of river protection was get ting on the nerves of the people of Hyder who have property in the town. They realize," he said "that if some thing is not done, their prop 9rty will ultimately be de- 5troyed." After making a strong plea for governmental assistance in preventing this prospective catastrophe, MT. Hoyland referred to the mat ter of roads, declaring that the prospectors could locate showings, but successful min ing depended upon transport ation. While holding every prospect for commercial ex- ploitation under favorable coalitions, a majority of the local mineral discoveries were situated at points remote from the established avenues of transportation and the ores were not of sufficiently high value to pay fer back packing or horse packing. Texas Creek, the most important of the local mineral areas, was, he said not served by 6 road at all, pack trail being the cnly avenue available for trans- portation of ores and mining supplies.
 Ernest Blue the next speaker, declared with rference to the flood situation: "We don't know what morning we may wake up and find the river running down our streets. "Mr. Blue likened the local situ- ation in this respect to that obtaining some years ago in Valdez, where he said one scheme after another to over come the flood conditions had failed, adding "but the town is protected today" However" he continued, where they spent $50,000,
