Streams

Streams
 Salmon River is the master stream of the district. It heads in Salmon Glacier, which heads against the Mass River divide. Salmon River from the foot of the glacier to Portland Canal is approximately 13 miles long. For about 1M miles from it's head the river flows in a flat gravel-floored valley, below which it flows through rock gorge to the point where Cascade Creek comes in. There is another gorge 100 feet deep where Boundary Creek cascades into ! the river. From the Daily Alaska property, at Eleven Mile, the river flows again in flat-floored, gently sloping valley to the junction with Tex as Creek, at an altitude of 300 feet. From this point the val ley is about three-fifths of a mile wide and has an average slope of about 31 feet to the mile. In this stretch the river is winding stream, flowing in a network of channels cut through gravel bars and low islands that are constantly built up and destroyed. The river is subject to considerable floods and at high water occu- pies the greater part of the val ley floor.
 Texas Creek heads in Texas Glacier. The valley of the creek is wide, flat floored, cov- cred with gravel, and gently sloping. It may be readily forded with horses above the junction of the West Fork.

Geology of Hyder and Vicinity
 By Prof. A. F. Buddington
 Department of Geology, Princeton University FROM U s. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY BULLETIN MO- SOY
By Prof. A. F. Buddington

The West Fork is larger than Texas Creek where the two come together. The valley of the West Fork is about 8 miles long and consists of several broad gravel-floored flats with intervening long, narrow, deep postglacial rock gorges that have steep gradients. One flat extends from the upper end of Texas Lake, at the head of the valley, to the Government cab in. Here the creek has been forced over against the cliffs on the north side of the valley by the old rough moraines of Ferguson Glacier that extend for half a mile or so beyond the present front of the ice.
 Another flat extends for three quarters of a mile opposite and west of Casey Glacier. Most of the drainage carried by the West Fork comes from the south side and mainly from the three glaciers, Hidden, Casey. and Ferguson. The steeply sloping sides of the valley have been scared over half their area or more by slides, which are mostly covered with we'll nigh impossible thickets of fern, alder, salmonberry, and blueberry. Below Hidden Creek the West Fork flows for a short distance in a rock chasm 100 feet deep.
 Thumb Creek is relatively in accessible, as Salmon River normally can not be forded during the summer and the lower 1@I miles of Thumb Creek Valley is an impossible gorge, the floor of which slopes within this distance from an
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-07-06

altitude of about 1000 feet to the level of Salmon River at 250 feet. Several prospectors have entered the upper valley of the creek by way of the West Fork of Texas Creek, Ferguson Glacier, and the pass at the head of the glacier at an altitude of 4,600 feet. A few have gone in from the east by back-packing over the tops of the mountain shoulders north or south of the gorge. If sup plies could be transported in the spring over the snow to a point above the gorge the up- per valley would be easily prospected, as the rock expos ure is favorable. The morain- al hillocks at the head of the creek are we'll timbered and would afford good camp sites. About one-third of the water of Thumb Creek comes from Gray Glacier, near the head, and the larger part of the re- mainder comes from Thumb Glacier. An old terminal mor- aine, preached by the creek, ex- tends in a semicircle across the valley about in a line with Gray and Red Glaciers. The hillocks in the head of the val ley are all morainal material. With the exception of these hillocks great boulder flat extends from the foot of Thumb Glacier for about 2 miles to the alluvial fan of the stream that enters from the south at an altitude of about l ,450 feet. The total fall in this 2 miles is about 500 feet. Between the attitudes of 1,45O and 1000 feet the slope is much sleeper. At 1000 feet there are benches of bouldery gravel in which the creek has cut a deep valley, and below in the rock gorge through which it flows to Salmon Riv- CT. At some places snow arch es persist across the creek until early summer. The north side
Hyder weekly herald., 1929-07-06

of the valley is very steep, with many sheer cliffs, and is completely lined along it's base by a coalescing body of talus, slide debris, and gulch depos- it's. Some of the slides have brought down giant fragments. Nowhere else in Southeastern Alaska has the writer seen slides and talus on so extensive a scale.

Glaciation.

Above an altitude of 5000 feet most of the broader ridges are covered with snow and ice caps from which glaciers creep down the mountain sides.
 The major glacier of the Sal mon River drainage basin is Salmon Glacier, which lies al- most wholly in Canada, with it's tip just crossing the inter- national boundary at an alti- tude of somewhat over 500 feet. Pack trains are taken up over Salmon Glacier to it's head, and the trail is indicated by tripod markers.
 Boundary Glacier is about 4 miles long and may be reached by way of Salmon Glacier. about a mile of the lower part of the glacier is in Canadian territory. The glacier is read fly traversed from its foot at an altitude of about 4,2OO feet, at the base of the ice cascades at it's head.
 Texas Glacier, which fills the valley north of the West Fork, is through glacier. It flows from the divide at an altitude of $500 feet eastward 53L miles down to an altitude of little over 1000 feet. It also flows westward from the di- vide 212 miles and joins Chick amin Glacier at an altitude of about 2,800 feet. Texas Glac- fer can be traversed from its eastern foot to the divide, ex- cept for deeply crevassed portion about 2 miles from the foot, where there is a drop of several hundred feet within a short distance. Here it is nec- essary to climb over the rock shoulder on the north side and regain the glacier at an alti- tude of about $500 feet. The part of the glacier that flows westward into Chickamin Glac- fer is so crevassed as to be practically impossible above an altitude of 4,000 feet. The south wall of the valley of Tex as Glacier, on both the Chick amin and Texas Creek sides, is uniformly precipitous, with many high, sheer cliffs.

BOND PRICES GAIN
Wight TRADING
Tax Selling Offset by New
Buying-Foreign Group
Improves.
BY r. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 26.-Bonds
made some progress in a dull trading
session today While there was a GER
tain amount of tax selling, 1t was not
heavy enough to carry the list lower
against the buying induced by the low
levels that some bonds have reached.
There were a few instances where the
price decline in an issue has already
been very heavy, but the tax selling
carried it still lower. A drop of IS
points in Fisk 5laS on the Curb Ex-
change and drop of over 2 points in
the per cents of the same company
were both attributed to this factor.
Both issues are selling at their low
levels for the year. Bankers who put
out the 51Ss declare that the interest
due on January will be paid.
However, the list generally was
higher, the greater activity being shown
In the foreign department, where re-
ports of a $60,000,000 credit being
arranged for the Sac Paulo Coffee IN
stitute lent support to South American
issues.
Union Pacific first SIS were a point
higher in the prime list and smaller
gains were made by Baltimore & Ohio

SEASONAL DROP IN RAIL
EARNINGS is REPORTED

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 26-The rail-
road earnings reports for November so
far made public indicate that the ex-
pected year-end falling off will be about
as forecast. This trend has been in
dictated by a general decrease in the
number of freight car loadings as had
been predicted by several railroad off,
Gals. Despite the lesser figures for
November, earnings for the year are
expected to be at or near a record.

In a meeting marked by occa- sional outbursts of oratory on the part of members of the minority party, by a catechism of rcproving queries on the part of George B.

Alling. the Berlin voters last night approved the 1880 town budget as presented to them by the chairman of the finance board, Claude Stew ems, with the exception of few points The plea of the board of assessors and the board of relief that their salaries be increased was turned down. The salaries of the second and the third selectmen were increased from $75 to S100. The sale of the town farm was placed in the hands of a committee to in Ncstgate and report to the town at q future meeting.
 The meeting opened at s o'clock and the usual stragglers paraded in until well after the hour, until the hall was almost half full. Lest r Deming presided as moderator and Arthur l.. Woodruff was clerk of the meeting. The minutes of all of the previous meetings held during the year were read.

 School Sale Questioned
 In the sclcctman's report the ffr,t item to draw fire from the ever ready veteran of many political battle, Judge filling, was the amount received from the sale of the old Blue Hills schoolhouse. It was brought out that this building and the land upon it had been solI several months ago for the amount of S10O. filling questioned the wis dom of selling for that sum, when at the time of the purchase it had cost the town s1375. He wondered whether the selectman had made known his intention of selling tn 2 property 10 the public, stating that he had known nothing about it at the time. He reprimanded the sclcctman for not advertising the sale of the school so that the towns people would know something about it. And further-"The board of selectmcn has no right to sell any property at a private sale"
 In defense of the price receive ] the selectman brought out the fact that it was found that the building was well over into anothers land and that due to the isolation of the building from the town it could not have brought any more.
 MT. Carter resumed where JudgG filling left off. and for a time the selcctman was busy answering qucs- tions. MT. Carter inquired who "Stempien" was. According to the selcctman's report, this was a man who had been buried by the town some time ago. MT. Carter demand ed to know why he was buried.
