home town merchants the people of .Hyder become the architects of their own busi- ness places. They create the demand and the home town merchant, assured of the de- .mand, does not fail in meeting it.
 Every citizen of Hyder is in- terested in the growth and improvement of the commun- ity, but many of those who trade out-of-town do not req lize that community improve ments begin with the improve ment of it's business. The busi- ness of a town or city is it's life-blood. Knowing this no citizen should stunt the natur- al and deserving expansion of his home town while fostering that of another community and it's business.
 If it must be done in a spirit of selfishness, don't buy at home to help the merchant but to help the home commun- ity and yourself. Thrust your business upon the local mer- chants and force them to pros per, that they, prospering, will make the community prosper and bring more prospering merchants and buyers into town to increase competition and through competition re- duce prices, and increase quail ity and stocks to choose from.

DOES MINING PAY?

 The original innocent invest or" protected in California from such distressing fate by Corporation Commissioners, Better Business Bureaus, In- vestment Bankers (who, by the by, are no more bankers than you are) and other what not busybody saviors of imbe cility, has already received 15,500 per cent in dividends from his investment and car sell out at a moments notice for another 18,000 per cent making total of 33,50O per cent as a reward for his as sininity in listening to the siren song of the promoter.
 It is an undeniable fact that interruptions promoters, represented in Spokane own CTS who believed they were reasonably honest, "unloaded" their stock in early days upon innocent investors" of the East, principally from Milwau- kee, and thus received fo1 their great patrimony a veri- table mess of pottage.
