J. A. HALL WILL RESUME
 PERMANENT RESIDENCE

J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, announced this week his intention to resume permanent residence inthe Hy- der district, after residing for two years in Vancouver. Mrs. Hall and Miss Helen Hall will also make Hyder their future home.
 In explanation of his decis-' ion to remain here, MT. Hall in- formed the Herald that it is due principally to a belief that the Hyder district is about to enter upon an era of increased development and prosperity. In substantiatien of this view MT: Hall cited the enlarged field for mining activities cre- ated by the new government truck road to the head of the richly mineralized Texas creek valley; the interest now being displayed in that section by outide capital, as indicated by the recent bonding of several I properties in that area, and the recent valuable ore discov- cries on the B. c. Silver. The highly favorable prospect that the Consolidated operations on the Big Missouri will result in the development of another big mine is also considered by MT. Hall as indicative of an early and substantial increase in To- cal industry, Mir Hall also mentioned the recent favorable turn of affairs with respect to the Peace River railroad pro- ject, through the acquisition of Ithe Canadian Northeastern construction rights by the Can

MINE ACCIDENTS DUE
 MOSTLY TO FALLS

More than one-third of the to- tai of all accidents in metal, mines can be attributed to falls of ground in some form, ac- cording to statistics prepared by the United States Bureau of Mines.
 In metallic and non-metallic mineral mines during a 15-year period, S0.17 per cent of all fa- talities and 1857 per cent of all injuries were caused by falls of rock or ore from the back or roof or from the wall; 1.2 per cent of the fatalities and 11.05 per cent of the in- juries were caused by rock or ore while loading at the work ing face; 6.66per cent of the fatalities and 2,49 per cent of the injuires resulted from men falling down a chute, winze, raise or stope; and run of ore from chute or pocket caused 1.48 per cent of the fatalities and 1.98 per cent of the injur- ies.
 The figures given disclose that accidents due to falls of men and materials caused 39.- 55 per cent of the fatalities and 34.06 per cent of the in- juries of these mines.

A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL
HOSPITAL DANCE
 TUESDAY EVENING

The annual dance of the Hos- pital Association will take place in Stewart Tuesday (New Year's) evening. The enter tainment should be given the utmost support of everyone in the Hyder as we'll as in the Stewart district. The hospital is in every sense a community institution as we'll as a com munity necessity, and we would be unfortunate indeed if it's ministering services were not available.
 Especially to the bachelor members of our population, the hospital represents a haven of refuge i'll case of sudden illness and they of all others should be more than willing to assist in it's maintenance as far as their means permit. Those who possess homes and fami- lies should be no less grateful for the presence of this effic- ient and well-managed. insti- tuition and consider it's support an excellent form of insurance for themselves and loved ones.
 Although the hospital is To- cated :a Stewart and is main tained ostensibly for the bene-: fit of Stewart citizens, it is none the less Hyder hospital; for the reason that it's doors are as wide open to the residents of Hyder as to those of our sis ter community. No one from the Alaska side of the bound ary line is refused one iota of its benefits, be they persons of affluence or without a dollar, and it is but right and just that we of Hyder should share equally with the people of Stewart in the burden of it's support.
 In the opinion of the Herald the community services rend- cred by the hospital are such as to entitle the institution to an annuity from the Alaska government.
 The Hospital board wishes to acknowledge with thanks the following donations, received during November:
 Canadian Legion, $10; Ladies' auxiliary of Hyder, writing table, stool, small rack, small table, 3 set of curtains, carpet rug, cushion.
 Mrs. Gibson. bureau scarf, pajamas; Col. E. R. Stivers, linoleum for room; c. w. Smith, bed table, paint; MT. Stewart, repairs.
 Receipts for the month totaled $611.90, while expenditures amounted to $790.45.

SAYS [. P R R. DETERMINED ON
 STEWART LINE

The following interesting statement by H. G. Dimsdale, eminent railway engineer, on the Peace River railroad situ- ation was published in a recent issue of the Vancouver Prov ince.
 The important feature of MT. Dimsdale's statement from the local viewpoint is his definite assurance of the ultimate con struction of a railway from the Peace to Stewart and Hyder. The article, which was pub lished under an Edmonton date line, follows:
 Linking up the rich Peace River district with Vancouver hy 9 railway route shorter by l08 miles than the suggested c. N. R. outlet is proposed by H. G. Dimsdale, we'll known northern railway engineer, and former Alberta highways com missioner. He says that British capital Is ready to finance the project when the necessary charters are granted by the AL berta and British Columbia governments.
 MT. Dimsdale's plan would give a new and direct coast outlet te the Pacific, running south of the Peace River and calling for a mileage of only 62T miles from Beaver Lodge, in the Grand Prairie district, as against 820 miles from that point via the proposed c. N. R. outlet from Aggie, on the E. D. & B. c. southwest te 0bed, on the C. N. R.
 The new route, which is very little known to the people of the north country, would be for a line from Beaver Lodge south west through Gray Pass to the present end of steel on the Pa cific Great Eastern Railway, near Quesnel, B. c.
 In an interview here, MT. pimsdale, who is a recognized authority on northern railroad problems, lays down the fol lowing axioms:
 First that the Peace River, due to insurmountable engin- eering difficulties, as outlined in reports of c. N. R. and c. P, R. engineers, will never pro- vide for a suitable crossing al Hudson's Hope, or any othel point in it's western course, and that consequently there is 6 definite division between the railway problems north ano south of the river.
 Second, that the c. P. R. ha: definitely in mind the building of a coast outlet north of th' Peace, from the present end ol steel at Fairview, through Peace River Pass, and by wa! of Fort Graham and the Mas River to Stewart on the Pacifi' Coast.
 Third, that the Canadian National desires to provide al outlet for the country south O the Peace, by building branch line from Aggie, on tn

Miller. 48-year mother of 10 chill
dren, four of whom are living, appar-
emily is to become the focal point of
legal struggle in the Supreme Court
and the State Legislature.
Mrs. Miller, the first woman to feel
the teeth of the habitual criminal clause
of the new Michigan criminal code, was
convicted in 13 minutes and was SEN
fenced Immediately. The law makes life
imprisonment mandatory upon con-
yiction of a fourth felony, and rates
violation of the prohibition laws felony.
Not Guilty, She Says.
"I am not guilty" she said az Judge
Charles B. Collingwood reported the
verdict of the jury.
But you are guilty, because the jury
has found you so,' replied the judge.
IT don't care" retorted Mrs. Miller,
"if it has. / am not guilty of any such
thing"
Counsel for Mrs. Miller announced
that an appeal would be taken to the
State Supreme Court. Their conten-
ton is that the law has been made re-
troactive, as liquor violations were not
felonies prior to passage last year of
the revised criminal code.

WRC|N|A'S HEALTH
! WORK PROGRESSES
Lowering In Death Rate of
Old Dominion Is Again
Shown.
ey the Associated Press.


RICHMOND. January Public
health work in Virginia showed prog
ress IN 1928 along various lines OF actiV-
tiles, and 1t is indicated that the year
lust ended again showed lowering in
the death rate, according to officials OF
the State Health Department.
Sanitation work in the State, one OF
the main detectives of the State Health
Department, continued to make gains,
though 1t was pointed out by officials
that the work is necessarily slow.
AS part of its work of sanitation, the
State Health Department has brought
about the present condition Of having
one million people of Virginia obtain
ing their water SUPPLIES from sources SUI
perviSed and known to be safe, while 80
years ago there was no single water
supply in the State receiving treatment
The State continued its work in 1928
to reduce still further the death rate
and prevalence of diphtheria.
Diphtheria- control work during 1928
had as its aim the continued admins
tration of Xin-antitoXin, especially
for pre-school children. A number of
clinics have been held.
One of the outstanding phases of
work undertaken in 1923 was the
malaria survey in some seven or eight
counties of the tidewater section. This
survey is described by public health Of
ficialS as being one of the most i'm
portant and extensive ever undertaken
in the State, Field work, including the
examination of approximately $4,000
adults and children, has been practical
" completed. while studies of the tests
and compiling of data is expected to be
completed by Spring. officials stated.
A new branch laboratory was also
established in 1923 by the State depart
ment of health. This laboratory is at
the Northampton-Accom Memorial
Hospital. in Northampton County. Pub
lie health officials believe that this new
branch will lend considerable impetus
to health work on the Eastern Shore.
Plans are being considered for estab-
fishing a health center, also, at the hos
pital.
Together with the steady forging
ahead in various other health activities,
the State health department, in the
opinion of officials, has made subStan-
tial gains in the more or less intangible
work of educating the people in the
matter of public health. The depart
ment believes this an important phase
of its activities and is constantly push
ing the program of education.
