A statement published last week to the effect that Mrs. c. N. Crone of Hyder had crossed the Chickamin Glacier from the head of Texas Creek to Chickamin River and was be- lieved to be the first white woman to make the passage, is controverted by Mrs. Anna Paul, of Hyder, B. C., who claims to have crossed the gla- cier herself in the earlier periods and further ayers that Mrs. E. B. Earth. off, an early day resident of the camp, also traversed the great ice river during the early days of the camp.
 It thus appears that the statement regarding Mrs. Crone being the first white woman to cross the glacier is not correct, altho presented on the authority of several reputable old timers.
 If the statement relative to Mrs Bartholf is true. it is desired as a matter of historical interest to learn when she accomplished the feat with which she is credited. Anyone pos. sessing definite knowledge of the matter will confer favor by advis ing this office.

President s Speech at
Valley Forge

Editor. Times:
President Hoover very fit
tingly chose Valley Forge as
the back ground and subject
for his Memorial Day address,
drawing a parallel between
those trying days Of the win
ters of 1777-78 and the present
economical depression.
History records no example
of faith. fortitude and loyalty
out-shining that set by George
Washington and his men at
Valley Forge in the face of
indeScribable privations and
sufferings.
History also records that the
sufferings at Valley Forge were
altogether uncalled for; that
the good people of the colonies
had provided an abundance Of
shoes, clothing and food, ample
to cover the needs of every
man, but that these provisions
had been defrauded, partly sold
to the enemy, and partly left
to rot on the roadside, by men
so low and depraved that they
would not hesitate to rob their
fellow citizens, fighting for the
liberty of their mutual country,
of the bare necessities Of life,
for the sake of gaining a few
dollars.
Well might the memory Of
this spirit of Valley Forge be
buried in obscurity, were it not
for the fact that in a, more
subtle form it is still with us.
General washington feared
no open foe, but he lived in
eternal dread Of treachery
among his own generals and
conspirators in Congress, which
caused 80 per cent Of his
worries, and more than once
threatened to break his daunt-
less spirit. But for this hand
full of traitors and thieves the
war would have been won IN
