President Beatty of the Can aidan Pacific Railway is of the opinion that branch railway lines must be constructed into the Peace River district before the constructionyof a new west ern coast outlet will be war ranted, according to press dis patches from Edmonton this week, quoting statements made by the noted rail executive on returning from a visit to the Peace district.
 MT. Beatty was quoted in the reports as saying that "when the time arrives that the coast outlet is warranted it will be provided, and it will be pro- vided because development will then have reached such a stage that its construction will not be a drain upon the own ers."

GOVENOR PARKS IS RENOM|NATED
 BY HOOVER

George A. Parks, governor of Alaska, has been nominated by President Hoover for reap pointment to his present office, according to press announce ments from Washington, D. C., early this week.
 The governors term of office expired June 18th and the question of who was to be his successor has been source of much speculation. So for as known there was but one other candidate for the position; a Texan, who appeared in a po- sition to put up a strenuous fight for the office.
 As Governor Parks is probab- ly the most popular federal of- flee holder the territory has had since the retirement of Governor J. F. A. Strong, his renomination will undoubtedly receive the approval of an overwhelming majority of Alaska residents. During his or Parks has made a splendid or Parks has made a cplendid record and he is justly entitled to another term.

Mrs. Agnes Cascadden, pion- ger resident of the camp and a resident of Alaska and the Yu- kon for more than 30 years, passed to the Great Beyond at 4 p. m. Sunday afternoon, after a short illness. Death was due to chronic myrocarditis.
 Mrs Cascadden was a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in Pittsburg in 1875. She came to Alaska in 1898 and was resident of Dawson for some years before removing to Fairbanks, where she lived for a number of years before coming to Hyder in 1921. Fol owing arrival here -the~de. ceased resided continuously in the district until her death.
 During the earlier days of her career Mrs. Cascadden be- came an actress of marked ability and personality. Stage work was her ocupation during a large part of her residence in Dawson and under the stage name of Agnes Moore she is said to have been a great fav- orite with Dawson theatre go- CTS. She is also said to have ap- peared on the old Orpheum cir cult in the States.
 She is survived by a son and also a sister, both of whom re- side in the States.
 The funeral was held Tues day afternoon from Pioneer Hall and under the auspices of the local branch of the Pion- eers of Alaska, the services be- in accordance with the ritual istic burial services of the or der. The ceremonies were largely attended and the floral offerings were many and beau- tiful. The remains were laid at rest in Riverview cemetery af- ter impressive graveside ser vices. The funeral was under the direction of E. E. Charle- ton and the pail bearers in- cluded Alex. Frazer, Roy Me Leod, J. J. Began, George Ker- rin, Clyde Hager and Herman Nichols.

With the present issue the Herald resumes publication in the usual four-page form, after several weeks of issuing in two- page form as result of condit- ions created by the recent de- mise of Mrs. c. F. Sandford, CO., owner and a member of the Herald staff.
 For the ability to continue publication in any form during the past month, the publisher is deeply indebted to Messrs Hector Stewart and R. w. Hull of the Stewart News and also to Ashbury Blue, of Hyder, who assisted them in the publi- cation. All three gave very generously of their time and labor in keeping the publicat- ion active.
 During a long journalistic ex- perience the writer has en- countered fine examples of the remarkable fraternal spirit ex- isting among members of the Fourth Estate, but never one in which sympathy and assist ance were more generously manifested than by the Stewart News staff in undertaking full responsibility for continuing this paper while the publisher was absent. Such gifts of kind ness are not only rare but also are beyond all material recom- pense and their bestowal has placed us under a debt of grat- itude that we fear can never be discharged.

Messrs. D. J. Mulcare and Don. E. Martin returned Mon- day from a goat hunting trip in the upper Texas Creek section but brought back no succulent chops, as they were unfortun- ately unable to get within shooting distance of the elus- i've and nimble denizens of the mountainous. Several were sighted, but too far away for shooting.
 So far as could be ascertained, James Roberts S the only Hy- der resident who has bagged a goat this fall. The affables James shot one near the Hew- it residence at the north end of town few days ago; the animal having strayed almost into the townsite. It appears, however, that Jimmie's friends refuse to concede that he is entitled to any hunting laurels as a result of his exploit. They insist that his success was due not to Jimmie having hunted the goat but rather that the goat must have been hunting him.
