OF course. But just look at this

RICHER AND POORER

Throughout the centuries of advancing civilization apostles of unrest have noisily rung the changes on the assertion that "the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poor er." There have been alternat- ing periods of expansion and
 contraction. In the good times all shared in the prosperity of the moment in some degree, while in bad times the poor of ten suffered greatly. But the movement as a whole has been persistently toward improve

SEA LIONS GROWING NUMEROUS
 ON ALASKA COAST

Sea lions are increasing in numbers on the Alaskan coast and trollers, familiar with their depredations on salmon runs are concerned over the situat- ion. It is impossible they say to estimate the quantity of sal mon destroyed by the ani- mals, but the total every year is declared by the trollers to be enormous. Estimates of the number of sea lions between Cape Spencer, and Dixon En- trance range from a few thou sand up to 5O,0O0 and extrem- ists say as high as 100000. The Canadian authorities have been waging warfare against sea lions off the coast of Brit ish Columbia as a means of protectiong salmon from their depredations. At the same time the American government threw the mantle of protection. around them. The result, ac- cording to those with some knowledge of the situation has been a large increase in the number of animals to be found in local waters.

FINDS EVIDENCE OF
 NORTHLAND TRAGEDY

Al Daley, an old-timer of the north, arrived in Seward from False Pass recently and report ed the finding last October of a human skeleton on the beach near Cape Lappin. One sock on the left foot, pieces of a wrecked dory and portions of a pair of oilskin pants, which presumably belonged to the dead man, were all he could find which might identify the skeleton. Everything indicated the man had broken up on the reef at the cape. Daley re- turned to the scene later but, owing to the shifting sands, could not relocate the skeleton but found the skull and buried it.

GOOD MANNERS

However much some may cav il at the statement, it is an un undeniable fact that about eighty per cent of the recog- nized rules of etiquette are of a distinctly superfluous type and originated among drones and non-producers. Really use- full citizens are often too busy with practical affairs to give heed to all the nonsensical niceties laid down as the prop CT thing to do on this or that occasion.
 Genuine good manners are just simply the doing of those little acts of courtesy that tend to make things more pleasant for ones associates: yet we have many times observed people who pride themselves on their culture and refine ment commonly doing the most churlish things to those who are forced to be in close contact with them.

ment. It is true that the rich have become richer, and tle number of rich and moderately well to do has increased eno,- mously. But that the poor hava have grown poorer is not tru ,. It is impossible for wealth . increase without it's benefits being distributed to every stratum of society. For proof of the assertion one has but to look around him.
 In the seventeenth century in England the accumulation of wealth waa as noticeable as has been the accumulation in the United States in the last few years. The rich got very much richer in that time, but the number of people with es- tates increased by leaps and bounds, these rising from the ranks of the poor, while the condition of the latter class vastly improved, as was shown by their ability to gratify an- bitions aforetime wholly out of their reach.
 And today the betterment of the condition of all classes of society, as evidenced by ability to gratify material desires, is far greater than 300 years ago, or even 10 years ago.

OPPORTUNITIES

We are living in a world in which opportunities are almost endless. For it is one of the paradoxes of civilization that the more opportunities are util- ized, the more new ones are thereby created.
 The automobile, for example, has created a new field for the exercise of human ingenuity, while the byproducts of this invention are amazing in their reach and scope. It might seem to the unheeding that every thing worth while has been in- vented, discovered or utilized. Yet there is not a thing that contributes to human welfare and comfort, not a stick of furniture, not a household util- ity, but is capable of improve ment. There is still a big field for human enterprise in the tri-
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-05-18

fles which others pass by. Men have made fortunes out of the ccmmonest and meanest things scraps of leather, slag, junk, grit and numberless byprod- ucts of mine and mill.
 Opportunities? They are all around us. There is power ly- ing latent everywhere waiting fer the observant eye and the ingenious mind.
 Unfortunately most of us are lacking in the ability to discern these opportunities or to make use of them even after they are perceived. The greatest hind- rance to advancement in life is the lack of observation and the lack of inclination to take pains. The great things of the world have not been done by men of large means but by men of large vision. And most of theim have started where they stood, as Edison began his re- marlable inventive career in experiments in a baggage car when he was a newsboy.

TRUTH TELLERs NEEDED

In the midst of all the sophis- tries of the times, one is forced to wonder if there has ever been a time in the history of this country when the nation has needed truth tellers quite as badly as at present.
 Men and women who tell the truth and keep their word are among the most precious assets a community can have.
