FEW FATALITIES IN
 ALASKA MINES

There were ten fatal acci- dents in all branches of min ing in Alaska in 1927, accord ing to official figures made public by B. D. Stewart, act ing territorial mine inspector, and federal mining inspector for Alaska.
 This is two more than in 1926 but the percentage of fatalities to the number of men employ ed in the industry remained the same owing to the fact that the number of men em- ployed in the industry was considerably larger in 1927 than in 1926.
 Six of the reported fatalities occurred in quartz mines, one from an accident in a mar ole quarry, two in placer min- ing and one in a coal mine.

ASKS ROAD TO MARMoT

The Stewart Board of Trade is after a wagon road from Stewart, along the east shore of Portland Canal to the rich ly mineralized Marmot River section and has requested the local parliamentary member to use his good offices to that end.
 The situation of Stewart and the Marmot district is similar to that of Hyder and the Texas Creek area. Without cheaper means of transportation than have been available in the past neither the Texas or Mar mot districts can be developed save at slow and excessively costly pace.
 Thanks to the efforts of the Hyder Chamber of Comerce, the Texas Creek road is now practically assured and it is sincerely to be hoped that the Stewart organization will be equally successful with the Marmot project.

LIBRARY DANCE
 NETS GOOD SUM

The dance given by the Hy- der Public Library Association in Pioneer Hall Saturday ev- ening attracted "a good sized gathering and placed the tidy sum of $83.5O in the treasury for the purchase of books and other needed equipment. As each paid admission included membership in the association during the current quarter, the entertainment also added a considerable number of new names to the membership roll.
 A financial statement prepar- ed by Secretary D. J. Mulcare shows receipts and disburse- ments as follows:
 Receipts
 Paid admissions $91.00 Cake sale receipts $3.50
 Total receipts S94.50 Disbursements
 Music HOO Net Balance $83.50 Donated
 Hall- by Alaska Pioneers Supplies by Edgar Provinse Advertising-by Hyder Herald Cakes and Sandwiches-by Ladies of Hyder.
 w. s. Sullivan and Richard Wirth assisted the committee during the entertainment and received quarterly membership in the Association as compen sation.
 The sum derived from the en- tertainment will be a big help toward keeping the library on the progressive basis establish ed in earlier periods. Compar- ed to the total population of the camp, the number who help to support the library is pitifully small and discloses a deplorable lack of public in- terest in this splendid public institution.
 Hyder should be proud of the possession of such an excellent and well maintained public li- brary and the failure of so many to support it in adequate manner betrays woeful lack of good citizenship by a large part of our population.

NEW SCHOOL ACT
 CHANGES ANNUAL
 SCHOOL ELECTIONS

Marked changes in the old system of choosing school boards in unincorporated com munities appear in instructions received by the Hyder School Board from Lester D. Tender son, Commissioner of Educat- ion.
 The changes in question are necessitated by the provisions of a new school law enacted by the 1927 Territorial legis- lature, providing for the elect ion of but one board member annually after the first elect ion under it's provisions and the selection of the various board officials by the board members themselves.
 Relative to the first election to be held this year, the meas ure provides for the election of a school board of three mem bers, who will hold office for one, two and three years re- spectively.
 After the election, the elected members shall meet and desig- nate by lot one member to serves for one year, another to serve two years and a third to serve three years, or until their successors are elected and qualified.
 Following the first election, only one board member will be elected annually and will serve for a period of three years.
 School boards are required to organize within seven days aft CT each annual election and elect from their members one director, one treasurer and one clerk.
 Annual elections for electine board members or filling vacancies are to be held on the second Saturday in March, or on such other date as may be approved by the Commissioner of Education. At least ten days public notice must be given of each election. Elections must be held in the school building or some other public building and the polls must remain open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.
 The law also prohibits per sons holding the relationship of husband and wife or parent and child from serving on the same school board and also provides that vacancies in a board membership created by death, resignation, removal or other cause shall be filled by appointment by the remaining members of the board, or by the Commissioner of Education in the event that they cannot agree. A member so appointed shall serve until the next reg ular election.

make, a cotton dress from the bolt in 30
minutes.
One of the factors held responsible
by the cotton men for the lessened use
of their textiles Is the widespread sale
of ready-made clothes. Another Is the
entrance of women into business which
claims most Of the time formerly given
to sewing.
Women have got into the habit of
buying ready-made clothing" said one
manufacturer. This despite that cot
ton dresses may be made at home
quickly and at a nominal cost, thus af-

Dresses made at one of the "wear
