COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS
 TREE MONDAY EVE

The annual community Christ mas celebration, dearest of all local festivities to the kiddies of the community, will be. held in Pioneer Hall Monday even ing under the auspices of the local Moose lodge and the citi- zens of the district.
 The committee in charge of the festivities, headed by John Rowland, Chairman, have been working like the proverbial Trojans making preparations for the great event and prom ise a Christmas celebration second to none held so far in the district.
 The kiddies have also been busy under the direction of Miss Geraldine Torrance and will contribute a selected pro- gram of songs and recitations while awaiting the arrival of Santa Claus, who will person ally distribute the gifts hung by his orders on the Christmas tree.
 Members of the committee say that good old St. Nick. has been even more generous than usual to the local little folks this year and not a child in the community but will receive presents from his kindly hands. Some of their elders are also likely to participate in the gift distribution, as Santa also likes to remember the grown-ups as we'll as the little ones at Christmas time.
 So if anyone wishes to enjoy Ia real good time and witness an outpouring of real, un- adulterated joy from childish hearts they should not fail to be on hand when the entertain ment starts.

WINTER SOLSTICE MARKS BEGINNING
 OF LONGER DAYS

Today, is the shortest day of the year, and marks the be- period of the winter solstice, so called owing to the sun, hav- ing arrived at that point in the ecliptic farthest south of the equator, appearing to stand still for several days.
 There are two solstices in each year, the summer and winter. The former occurs June 22, when the sun reaches it's greatest northern declin- ation and the other at the pres ent period, when the sun ar- rives at the limit of it's south- ern declination.
 At both the summer and winter solstices the sun scarce ly changes it's declination for several days. As a result of this both the day before and she day after the actual sol- stice are of practically the same length, the actual differ ence being so slight as to be determinable only by the clos est measurement.
 Following the summer sol- 'tice, at which the longest day of the year occurs, the days gradually shorten as the sun declines to the south, until the winter solstice, after which ;he days lengthen again until The summer solstice is reached. This is only to be understood of the Northern Hemisphere, as in the Southern Hemisphere she longest day occurs De- cember 22, while the shortest s on June 22.

MINE DIVIDENDS
 BREAK RECORDS

Dividends paid by American mining companies that make public their disbursements to stockholders paid during the month of November break all past records for this month. The dividends paid in Novem- )er of 1927 totaled $17,943,- JAS, as against $19, 247,397 n November, 1928. There are many small companies and easing syndicates that do not make public their dividend disbursements. If all dividends md mining profits were tabu- ated the total would no doubt De far in excess of $20,000,- poo for the month, says the Denver Mining Record.
 Copper producers have been able to reflect higher earnings, 'esulting from the recent inn orovement in the copper situ- ation. The result is larger divi- lend payments. Speculation is rife in financial circles just now as to the identity of the next copper producer to an- 1ounce an increase in it's divi- dend rate. The latest to be stepped up. were Kennecott's quarterly rate from $1.50 to $2 Calumet and Hecla's from 50 cents to $1, and Chile Copper's rom 62 cents to 75 cents per share; Kennecott's payable in January and the others in De- .ember.

LOCAL MEMBER ON
 HOSPITAL BOARD

The Stewart General Hospita Association, has announced through it's secretary, MT. Jos H. Wilson, the appointment oi Mir. E. D. Haddon to member ship on the hospital board which directs the maintenance of the Stewart General Hospi- tai.
 The election of MT. Haddor was made at a mass meeting of the members of the hospita' association held Nov. 16 and was unanimously endorsed by the gathering. As a result o1 the associations action Hyde1 will have active representa- ion in the affairs of the hospi- tai, a rather unusual honor in view of the fact that Hyder is not in Canadian territory. Since the hospital is in part supported by grants from the Provincial government, MT. Wilson informs the Herald that there was at first some quest ion as to the propriety of MT. Haddon's appointment, but the matter was referred to the Provincial secretary and elicited a reply stating that he knew of no objection.
 The Association also acknowl- edges with thanks the donation of $1OO from the Hyder Con- munity Club, to be applied to the hospital account of James Carter, a Hyder resident who passed away recently in Stew art hospital after an extended illness. The indicated sum rep resents the net returns from the dance given recently by the Community Club in aid of the hospital.

SMALL POX EPIDEMIC
 REPORTED SPREADING

With small pox reported in epidemic form in villages scat tered over 1000 miles in the northwestern part of the Ter ritory, the Territorial Health department is now turning its efforts toward preventing the disease from spreading into the Arctic coast settlements and those in the district be- tween the Yukon and Kusko- kwim Rivers according to a recent summary of the situat- ion published by the Juneau Empire.
 It is now known that small pox exists in epidemic form in villages from Marshal on the Yukon to Kotzebue Sound, with hundreds of active cases reported. The villages where epidemics have been reported include Marshal, Mountain Village, Pilot Station and Una. lakleet on the Yukon and Candle and Deering in the Kot- zebue Sound region. Advices received by Governor Parks re- ported 100 cases of the disease in Deering and vicinity and 2z at Candle. Whether the dis ease is prevalent in the areas between Teller and Kotzebue Sound and north of the latter district, is not known, owing to the absence of communicat- ion. The authorities are also in the dark regarding the sit uation between the Yukon and Kuskokwim.
 Dr. H. c. DeVighne, Commis- sioner of Health, is not opti. mistic regarding the chances for early control of the epi. demic. Sanitary conditions ir the affected areas are not fav- orable for stamping out the disease and the customs of the native residents make it diff. cult to treat them effectively As soon as the epidemic ap- pears, those not sick desert their villages and move tc other localities, scattering the disease in their wake. This and the shortage of medical per- sonnel leads the authorities to fear that it will take months to wipe out the disease.
