 ward can be maintained with out difficulty as long as the new channel is kept free of timber debris. He regretted to state, however, that the funds provided for maintenance out of the 1929 legislative appro- priation are now exhausted, ex cept for a few dollars, and ad- ditional funds must be provid- ed to keep the channel clear of obstructions until more main- tenance funds can be provided by the legislature next spring.
 MT. Sommers warned that neglect or failure to remove these Instructions will inevita- bly, result in the river return ing to it's former channels and will also involve the loss of the work and money so far expend- ed. MT. Sommers suggested rais ing locally a fund of several hundred dollars for mainte- nance and possible emergen- cies and stated sthat it is his intention to recommend to the legislature the appropriation of a maintenance fund suf- ficiently large to provide ade- quate maintenance for several years.
 MT. Walker Haven spoke of of the possibilities of the local mountain and glacial scenery as attractions for tourists and expressed the opinion that they could be made a valuable ass ct to the district. He also out lined geological conditions on the Marietta property and the development program contem- plated by his company. This in- cludes driving a tunnel under a glacial ice-cap for an unde- termined distance to reach and crosscut certain vein intersect- ions. MT. Ravens also quoted assay returns from various leads on the property showing good values in gold>and silver.
 Attorney Ernest Blue, local representative of the Hyder Lead Mines, Inc, outlined de- velopment on the company properties near the head of Texas Creek, showing a large
 q commercial ore resource al- ready developed and average values in two tunnels driven on the ore of around $14 per ton. MT. Blue declared that the val ue of the Texas highway to the district was examplified in the great reductions already ef- fected in transportation charg- es and quoted freighting ac- count charges paid by his com pany showing remarkable less ening of transportation costs. In conclusion MT. Blue ex- pressed the conviction that ul- innate mine development in the district will fully justify the work done by the govern ment ill highway construction.
 MT. J. A. Hall, president of the Bank of Hyder, spoke in optimistic vein of the districts future outlook, stressing par ticularly the prospects for the development of gold proper ties. The camp is basically a gold camp, he said. Recent as- says of ore from the Metcalf Continued on Page 4

DISTRICT GIVES
 FINE WELCOME TO
 BRITISH WARSH|P

spatch during the past week was a decidedly interesting event to the residents of Fly der and Stewart and provided much pleasant diversion for both young and old. To the children, few of whom had ever seen a real war vessel, save perhaps in a movie or ill., ustration, the presence of the big war ship, with it's nattily clad officers and men and with real vice-admiral in com mand, was an event that will to most of them become life. long memory.
 Although directed officially to the Canadian port, the wis. it of the fighting ship was in all reality something of an in, ternational event in which the Americans of Hyder partici- pated scarcely less than thei1 Canadian cousins of Stewart.
 The huge, lean-flanked gray cruiser came gliding swiftly along t h verdant, peak flanked reaches of Portland Canal early Saturday after and came to anchor under the towering slopes of mile-high Mt. Rainey almost directly op- posite Hyder a little after p. m. The first greeting received by the British vessel was given by the U. s. Bureau of Public Roads motorship Highway which met the warship a mile or two below Hyder, with Dep uty U. s. Marshal Donald E Martin, and D. J. Mulcare, U 5. Immigration Inspector, and J. h. Abrams, Customs Collect or, on board to represent Alas ka and the United States Al ter a mutual dipping of flags the Highway swung in behind the big cruiser and accomp- anied her to the anchorage.
 Shortly after coming to rest the ship was boarded by the official reception committee which included representative of Stewart Village, the Stewart Board of Trade, the Canadian Legion and the Hyder Cham. Der of Commerce, and who ex tended to the vessel and it; crew the greetings of the dist rict. The committee was re, ceived by Vice Admiral Yer non H. Haggard and his off cers, who expressed their pleasure at their visit and ev- idenced deep admiration fol the magnificent scenery along Portland Canal.
 Saturday evening was given over to a dance and dinner for the officers in Stewart Opera House which proved the most brilliant social function ever held in the district. Sunday was devoted to the entertain ment of the enlisted men by auto rides to Texas Glacier, the Premier mine and other points of interest. Practically all the automobiles in the dist rict were requisitioned and placed at the disposal of the visiting tars, who appeared to keenly enjoy their experience among the massive mountain peaks. Those of the crew who were not permitted shore leave Sunday were taken over the same routes Monday, while the warship held open house dur ing the afternoon and was vis- ited by large part of the dist

al engineer from the San Fran cisco headquarters of the Unit ed States Bureau of Public Roads, MT. M. D. Williams, district engineer in charge of Bureau of Public Roads activi- ties in Alaska, and MT. R.. J. Sommers, Territorial highway engineer of Alaska, were the guests of honor at splendidly attended luncheon meeting of the Hyder Chamber of Com- merce at the Ideal Cafe Sun- dty afternoon. Other notable visitors included in the list of | guests were MT. Walker Hav- ems, local repreestative of the San Francisco syndicate en- gagged in developing the Mari etta group on Texas Creek, and MT. o. Anderson, superin- tendant in charge of the Texas Creek road construction activ- ities of the Siems-Spokane Company of Portland.
 In addition to a large gather ing of local citizens, several prominent residents of Stew art, B. C., also displayed their interest in the affairs of the Hyder district by attending the luncheon. These included MT. R. E. Haack, manager of the Stewart branch of the Bank of Montreal, MT. w. D. Smith, resident manager for the Pow CT Corporation of Canada, and MT. w. J. Crawford, Stewart business man. MT. E. D. Had don, president of the Chamber of Commerce, presided and discharged the duties of toast ] master in his usual versatile manner.
 Following the excellent luncheon served by Meinhost Max Behrmann, MT. Bright was presented and explained that his visit was made in con- nection with a field inspection of Bureau of Public Roads pro- jects in Alaska and also to fa- miliarize himself with condit- ions in the Territory. After visiting most of the projects, he had found the work done by the Bureau very satisfactory and was pleased to see the ben efits resulting from the work so far done. MT. Bright, then paid splendid tribute to the judgement and efficiency of MT. Williams as district engin- ger in Alaska and declared his work to be very satisfactory to the Bureau. He was also pleased with the results of the local road development work of the Bureau and expressed the view that the roads will provide an assistance to mine development which will ulti- mately justify the large expen- ditures involved. MT. Bright said this is the biggest year in the history of the Bureau of Public Roads organization, winch will expend about $13,- 100000 on it's construction pro- gram. Some $9,00O,000 of this lis to be used on Forest Service road projects and $4,000,000 in National Park work; of which about $1, 100000 will be used in Alaska.
 Mr. Williams, the succeeding speaker, pointed out that the Bureau of Public Roads has ex- pended close to a million dol lars in developing and main taining the local road system

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Buck-
Ing q 60-mile-an-hour gale, the
George Washington proceeded at
reduced speed toward England
today, daShing the hopes Of Sec
retary of State Henry L. Stimson
for q Thursday midnight arrival
at Plymouth.
1t is now impossible for the
ship to arrive at Plymouth be-
fore Friday forenoon. While Sec
retary Stimson is naturally dis
appointed that this setback will
deprive him of the full extra
day he had hoped for in which
to carry out preliminary con.
ferenceS before the five power
disarmament parley begins, he
has accepted the circumstances
ptiloSophically.
The one consolation is that
this later arrival will enable the
good burgherS of Plymouth to
extend the ceremonial welcome
they had planned, and which
was disrupted when news came
that StilnSon had asked that the
liner be Speeded up to arrive at
midnight tomorrow.
The Plymouth welcome, accord
ing to the information aboard
ship, has now been fixed for
8 3. m. Friday, with the delcga-
tion'S departure for London i'm
mediately afterward. This will
bring the delegation into Lon
don fairly early Friday afternoon.
It is understood that Secretary
StimSon will confer with Prime
Minister Macdonald Immediately
upon. his arrival in London. The
Secretary of State wireleSSed
word to. Premier Andre Tardieu of
France and foreign Minister Dino
Grandi Of Italy. in response to
their requests. that he would meet
with them on Sunday. The entire

ence dropped its official role last
