CLUB MEMBERS KICK
ON ADVERTISING HERE
Strenuous Objection Voiced BY
Womans Club to Signs on
Some Benches

Strenuous objection to advertis-
ing signs on the courthouse lawn
even tho on benches for the convent
ence of the public, has been voiced
by members of the WOmans Club,
who are watchful Of anything that
seems out of place in a city. Some
time ago the Kiwanis Club voted
in favor of donating some benches to
the courthouse square. and the idea
was taken up by a number of mer-
chant members, whose advertising
appers in connection with the
KiwaniS emblem on the benches
donated. standing out in true coun-
try town style.
4 visitor hardly knows whether
To make Use of the benches, be-
cause signs stuck about the lawn,
warn the public TO keep off by
order the County Commissioners
The benches might better be dis
tributed thruOut the grounds, to
make them more inviting. No one
wants to sit up front in the sun
light. Just as if he was marked ex-
hibit number two. But the Com
miSSiOners have forbidden the use
of the grounds, and the benches
have to face the street. Someone
has suggested that so long as the
grounds cannot be enjoyed, the
county could make money by en-
closing the entire lot with billt
boards, thereby increasing its
revenue from the rental.

LESS HOG CHOLERA NOW
THAN EVER BEFORE KNOWN
Government Advises Breeders to Go
Along Very Cautiously.

The low mortality OF swine because
of hog cholera during the fiscal year
ended June 80 is regarded by veteri-
nary experts OF the United States De
partment of Agriculture as occasion
for extreme watchfulness. Deaths from
this disease were the lowest since rec
ords of losses have been kept. Expe-
rience shows that hog cholera has pre-
vailed at periodical intervals, and
charts based on past records indicated
numerous outbreaks were to be ex-
pected in 1925
Apparently the low ebb of the dis
ease during the last year is evidence
OF the effectiveness of previous r3e OF
the preventive serum treatment. But
this apparently favorable condition,
department specialists point out,
should not deceive hog raisers into a
sense Of security.
Judging from experience in COM
batting hog cholera the principal dan
ger lies in the large proportion OF
swine that have not been immunized
against cholera, and therefore are sus-
ceptible to it, Should the disease be-
gin to spread heavy losses are to be
expected before outbreaks could be
brought under control.

The Skies Enlightened
AS the Earth Whizzed
Through Biela's Comet
Showers of Meteors Only Greeting of
Heavenly Wanderer as 1t Went Like
Bullet Through a Fog Cloud.

The earth passed through what is
left of Bielas comet Wednesday night
and might never have known it except
for a shower of meteors which burned
up brightly and harmlessly in the up
per air.
The earth, a compact body COM
pared with a comet, which is fii1nsy
affair composed OF small rocks and
gases, usually of lesser density even
than air, went through the heavenly
wanderer like a bullet through Jog
cloud, the earth's dense air burning
the comets constituents miles over
head. leaving floating luminous clouds
to sift slowly downward as cosmc
dust
The comet, named for Won Biela
who observed it in 1926, came into
the solar system out of outer space
ages ago and was captured" by the
giant planet Jupiter, monstrous
world $4,000 miles in diameter,
through the force of gravity. Jupiter,
however. did not entrap it, but forced
it out OF its original orbit so that ii
never got away into space again but
moved around the sun in a computed

In 1916 the comet separated into
two parts, which have not been seen
since 1852, but when a meteoric show

1ners assumed that the earth was pass

dren and household goods. Little
towns are overrW by homeless thous-
ands, and the woods and fields are
dotted with their miserable camps.
Relief measures are being taken, but
the refugees are so widely scattered
that not much can be accomplished.
Land of Many Races.
Syria is land OF many races. each
with different ambition-and that is
one explanation of the troubles Of the
French protectors. The conquerors
and invaders OF a score of nations
have left bodies of their troops there.
In fact, Syria contains more different
races, nationaities and religious
creeds than any other spot in the
world. Successfully to govern the land
and to please all would require the
wisdom OF Solomon. So, observers
point out, it is not surprising that the
French regime is stormy.
Particularly the Arabs, Syrians and
the Druse tribes are eager for indie
pendence, both religious and political.
VI y Sdi , ldNl GU VI TIC EIGllCH QlC-
tators has been brewing in their
minds. So the present revolt may
prove to be the opening for which
they seek.
France May Withdraw.
In some quarters it is predicted
that France, which holds a protecto-
rate over Syria through an order of
the League OF Nations, will be forced
to withdraw from Syria, leaving the
Syrians to govern themselves, in or
der to avert an actual religious war.
France would hesitate to take this
measure because of loss of political
prestige which it would cause, but it
is believed that this move is virtually
the only one possible now.
In Syria the people are dumbly
awaiting developments. Observers see
the grim shadow OF holy war de
scending upon the blackened city OF
Damascus, the refugee-dotted roads
and fields OF Syria, and the French
troops and the Arabian, Druse and
Syrian warriors massing to meet each
other on the field of battle, if the
worst comes to the worst.

SPEEDING UP ON RIVER
 VIEW GOLD CO. GROUND

With the return of manager Arthur Moa this week work on Fish Creek properties of the Mountainview Gold Mining Go. is taking on added impetus in anticipation of a large increase of development activities dur ing the open season, including the installation of extensive machinery equipment for the mine and the construction of a 4000-foot tram between the mine and a point on the Salmon River road. A portion of the new equipment is already here and the rest is contracted for and will arrive later in the season when essential prepar- ations for it's installations are completed. It is the intention to install the tram line first, thus facilitating the handing of the mine equipment later on and reducing to a minimum what would be a very heavy transportation expense under other methods of transportat- ion. The storage dam for the water system will also be com pleted during the interim so that everything will be in read mess to hook up and go within a short time after the machine ny arrives. It is also the intent ion to enlarge camp accomo- datiOns to house a bigger crew.
 MT. Moa spent a large part of the winter in the states select ing the new equipment and with it's installation will push development at the best pace possible. Development work has continued in the Skookum Creek tunnel throughout the winter with a crew of five men employed.

MACHINERY FOR
 NORTH AND SOUTH

Gustave Seiffert, manager of the Emperor Mines, formerly known as the North and South Syndicate, and one of the most widely known mining men in the North, arrived on the last trip of the Prince Rupert to re- sume operations on the comp any properties in the Glacier Creek section. MT. Seiffert brought in a shipment of mine machinery and equipment ap- proximating 25 tons weight and including a compressor, a boiler and winch, ore cars and rails, drill press, drill sharpener, complete black smith equipment and a large quantity of miscellaneous sup plies, such as pipe, lumber, ce- ment, and building material.
 It is the intention of the comp any to inaugurate large scale development operations as soon as the new equipment can be installed. The company is adequately financed to carry on for 8 long period.
 Among the chief activities outlined in the program will be the driving of a second cross cut tunnel, which is eX- pected to tap the big vein en- countered last fall at a prob able depth of $50 feet or so. The tunnel driven last sum- mer cut the ledge at a depth of 75 feet at a distance of 110 feet from the tunnel portal. The ore body was found at that time to average about 15 feet in width a marked in- crease over the width of the surface showing. The ore was also found to be of improved character in the tunnel, as compared to the outcrops.
 Permanent camps were con- structed last summer with am- pie accommodations for good sized crew, and a compressor house will be added to house the new equipment.
 The company properties are excellently located north and east of the Dunwell and are believed to carry extensions of the Dunwell vein system. The outcrops indicate the presence of several strong veins the principal of which has been traced for something over a thousand feet by means of open cuts. The extent and character of the ore found so far indicate most promising future for the property.
Hyder weekly herald., 1925-03-11

Several tons of mine equip ment and supplies arrived on the steamer Camosum for the Independence. The shipment included a new ore car, a quantity of rails, steel and oth- CT supplies for use during the summer.
 Lac reports. from the south say that Independence stock has sold we'll in Vancouver and Victoria during the winter and the treasury is we'll SUD- piled with funds to carry on for a considerable time to come. Seven men are now em- ployed at the mine.
