NOTED AUTHOR
 HERE ON YACHT
MT. and Mrs. Stewart Ed ward White Tn Juneau
 on the "Simba"

Having been in Alaskan waters since early May, the. Simba, 5S- foot. deisel powered yacht owned by Steward Edward White, noted author, came into Juneau yester- day morning for the first time this year. The beat was rushed in from Manus Bay with sick engineer aboard. and it's famous owner was at the wheel during the entire night. The Simba will remain in Juneau until late this afternoon when the cruise will be continued with an engineer who was procured in Juneau, ac- cording to MT. White.
 MT. and Mrs. White, who have travelled all over the world, and have cruised for a number of years in British Columbia waters, came to Southeastern Alaska for the first time last summer, and were so enthusiastic about the beauties of Alaskan scenery and liC ,iiaii DdYS dilu inlets, that they decided to make the Inside Passage their summer home," Mrs. White said.
 Fascinating Cruise
 'I do believe that this is the most fascinating cruise that we have ever had. The country is inexhaustible in it's infinite var iety and number of lovely bays and harbors. The fishing is per feet, 1 think every member of our party should be growing fins," Mrs. White declared.
 With Mr and Mrs. White on board the Simba, are MT and Mrs. Barnaby Conrad who live at Burlingame, near San Fran cisco, where the Whites also have their home.
 MT. and Mrs. White boarded the Simba early this spring at Seattle, where the yacht is kept during the winter months, and tdlile ulItttly IO ooulHedStSiii II Alaska, where they have been cruising since early May. They stopped at Wrangell and Ketchi- kan but had not Damned to come into Juneau, until it became necessary to take Charles Drum, their engineer, into the hospital.
 They cruise without any defin- ite plan or schedule, but usually stop in a different bay each night, Mrs. White said. In August, the Simba will pick up two more guests at Wrangell. and continue the Alaskan cruise until the end of August or early September.
 sI am doing no writing at all during this trip, but am having real vacation," Mr. White said. Sometime, perhaps, I will write an Alaskan book, but not until have found the story"
 Robert Pinkerton, and Mrs. Pinkerton, who are also writers, and their daughter, Barbara, who made the trip to Alaska on their own boat last year in company with the Whites, were unable to make the cruise, as they planned, this year, because of Mrs. Pink ertons health, Mrs. White said.

H0OVER'S HACKERS PREPARING FOR
FINAL DRIVE TO GET NOMINATION

teeman from Florida took the first
real beating OF his political ife-he
sought unsuecessfully to obtain
recognition for an un1nstructed dele

the whole affair is that Bean is des-
tined to lose not only his commit

controlling federal patronage in his
home state.
In addition to passing on the
Florida contests, the committee gave
its approval to the unopposed Gre
dentlals of two Hoover delegates
from the first Kentucky district.
Ahead of it. as it resumed its
hearings. were the important con-
tests. involving whole state delega-
tons, from Louisiana, Mississippi.

that the Louisiana feud between

out before the senate investigating
committee that Howard. who is an

recent fire cost the community more than a score of adequate pumping stations would cost. To our way of thinking none but fools will haggle over dol lars when any moment of the day or night may witness the outbreak of a fire that would sweep away practically all they possess. That is exactly the situation that confronts the bulk of Hyder's citizens, and will continue to do so un- til something is done to off set the danger.

WHEN YOUTH LEARNS.

Education does not begin un- til one is 25 and continues un- til 85, if it ends at all, says a British novelist. Tell that to the sophisticated youth of the present. Is there a flapper who does not think she knows in- finitely more than her mother, and is there a youth who does not think he can teach his father? While the older may know better, youth holds to it's fancied superiority.
 As for the dipomaed thou sands, how dare even the boldest novelist question their education? Do not most of them nurse the illusion that they know all that is to be known? Age will teach them otherwise, but youth has to learn for itself. And when it has learned that it's fancied wisdom was largely folly and that it's imagined education was lacking in much of the real thing, it is no longer youth.
 That is the tragedy of it.

BETTER FIRE PRO-
 FICTION NEEDED.

The recent destructive fire has made clear to all that in- creased fire protection is i'm perative.
 Eyewitnesses of the confla- grafton are agreed that fully fifty per cent of the destruct. ion might have been averted had sufficient water been available to keep moist such structures as were not in close proximity to the Provinse building. And had an ample supply of the quenching fluid been immediately at hand it is not improbable that the blaze might have been confined en- tirely to the Provinse, Law renee and Sullivan buildings.
 No finer example of the val ue of even a small amount o1 water in such emergencies could be found than was dis played in the saving of the Bank of Hyder. To a majority of our citizens, who are un aware of the actual circum. stances, the escape of the bank building seems but little shori of miraculous and is various ly ascribed to Providence, a change in the wind, the tin roof, concrete foundation, and what not.
 While it is doubtless true that the tin roof played an import ant part in shielding a portion of the structure from the ter rife heat, the primary factor in preventing the flames from gaining a foothold on the ex- posed wooden surfaces was 8 small stream of water scarcely larger than ones finger.
 Scorched and scared almost to the point of combustion, the building was actually on fire a score of times; but on eacl occasion the budding spots O. flame were promptly exiting uished by the tiny spray o. water. None who witnessed tho spectacle will gainsay tha' the building would assuredl, have been swept away, anC with it the rest of the uptown business section, had it no, not been for the saving in- fluence of that puny stream.
 Therein lies an example that

COST.

The cost of "sin" in this coun- try is variously estimated at from $13,OOO, O,0OO,O0O to $4O,- O00,OOO,0OO a year. The sta tisticians do not differ as to the cost of the individual "sins," but have divergent views as to which habits should be chased as "sins."
 One statistician includes in his list only drink, immortality and the theater. Another in- cludes gum-chewing, cosmet- ics, joy-riding, tobacco, drink ing, the theater, popular fict- ion, light-magazines, politici- ans, touring and moving pict- ures. Others even more puri- tanical than this second sin economist may compile a list including everything which affords some degree of happi- ness or comfort to another.
 Without differentiating be- tween the moralist's "sin" and mans ordinary bad habits and luxuries, a few such annual items of expense include :: $3OO,0OO,0OO for messages, $50O,O0O,OOO for foreign trav- el, $5OO,OOO,O0O for movies, billions for tobacco and it's ac- cessories, millions for contra band liquor, and correspond ing amounts for the legitimate stage and cheap literature.
 Undoubtedly the money spent every year in the United States for non-essentials exceeds that expended for the bare necessi- ties of life. This disparity may account for the fact that life is sweeter in the United States than in any other civilized place on this planet and that the stream of human migrat- ion is America bound. The av- craze person finds it harder to work for a living than for that surplus income which permits him to indulge his petty and major vices"

NOTICE To ADVERTISERS

residents of Hyder will do we'll to heed, if they would spare themselves further dis asters in the future. To rely on anything but water for fire protection is to invite repetition of such costly dis asters as we have just witness ed.
 Save in the case of incipient fires, chemical fire apparatus is next to useless. Water and more water is the imperative necessity when flames mount heavenward in gushing bill lows and soaring heat and fly ing embers spread destruction near and far. Water! That alone is the saving grace, the only panacea, when the fire siend stalks rampant and men must flee before his scorching breath or perish.
 Hyder must have water for fire protection. The sooner we undertake the problem of get ing it the better.
 The town has been remark lbly fortunate in the past with respect to fires. Hardly mother important town in the Alaska territory that has not been practically wiped out by flames within a few years of ,ts inception. With one or two exceptions, every one of the ;onflagrations was due to ab- ;ence of adequate water pro- lection.
 Are Hyder citizens going to wait until their town is added o the long list of communities which have been swept away before taking effective means o prevent it? Destruction is he inevitable reward of such delay.
 A proposal to establish a own water system, is now be- lore the public for consider ltion and it behooves every :itizen of the camp to give it iue attention and decide whether they wish to support he project or turn to other means of securing fire protect on. In the latter case, a ocm- nunity pumping station pre- ients a feasible alternative md could be installed and maintained at a nominal cost. It would cost money; Yes.
