Town Spirit

Right now, when conditions are far from good and much pessimism prevails, there is something that should be done by the thinking clements of the town that is more import "n+ than the investment of dollars and cents, and that is the wakening of a real Hyder spirit. We mean by that spir- IL ot confidence in our town and its future; a spirit which will prompt and impel us to let the world know that, in spite of diversity and unfor- tunate conditions, we are on the map to stay. A spirit that will carry this message, and continue to carry it to those who seek new fields for min- ing investment. The message needs no exaggeration but it needs to be delivered.
 Basic conditions here are es- sentially sound and with strengthened credit the country is in a condition to go forward. There will inquest ionably be a marked renewal of business activities in the coming months. In this revival we are entitled to a full share, nothing less, and we can get it if we are a unit in going af- ter it.
 We are so very much the creatures of our own will that the determination to make a better and greater Hyder, accompanied by real effort, will assuredly prove success ful.
 Keep this ever uppermost in your mind. Your town is going to be just what you choose to make it.

 Mrs. Caraway will serve un- der her present appointment until special election is held in January, in which she is a candidate for the unexpired term of her husband, and for which she will probably have no opposition. She will then serve until 1883, and has agreed not to ask for reelect- ion.

It is the perogative of human beings to do as they please and of course most of us please to delay as long as We can the doing of that which we cannot avoid. There may be those who are forehanded in Christmas shopping but they are rare and so different from the mass that they are odd, too.
 By the way, we must do our Christmas shopping pret- ty soon.

They will all familiarZe themselves with the new chemical fire engine. which was given a try-out Friday and found fully up to expectations.
 Hyder is to have it's own Christmas tree this year, there now being enough children in the camp to make such a hap py event desirable and pos sible. In the past this town has combined with Stewart in promoting Christmas activ- ities.
 The first heavy snowfall of the winter started Friday night and by Sunday night there was at least five feet of snow on the level and the community had a couple of days of strenuous snow shov- cling.
 The big snow has not forced suspension of operations on the Silverado, as development has progressed to the point that operations can now be carried on throughout the win. der.

BY the Associated Press.
AS part of its Nationwide investi-
CATION of bankruptcy the Justice De-
partment reported yesterday 1853
bankruptcy cases with reported liabili-
ties of $4,000 had been filed in
February, as compared with 1857 with
liabilities of $48,354,o in January.
The figures also showed 905 COM
mercial failures with liabilities of $685.
$4,000 had been handled through
other channels than bankruptcy dur
ing February, as compared to 96l such
cases with liabilities of $46,223,000 in
January.
THUS liabilities in failures lquidated
outside of bankruptcy in both months"
the department explained, were nearly
as great as the liabilities in bank
ruptcy."
The department reported that in
solvency liquidation through receiver
ships continued to be concentrated in
the States of New Jersey, Rhode Island,
Maryland, Ohio, Indiana and WASH
ington.
New York, however" the department
said, continues to be the State in
which the largest volume of CONNER
cial failures was handled through gen.
eral assignments, with 116 such cases
and liabilities of 81 ,268,00 reported for
February. Comparison by geographical
divisions reveals that this type of liqui-
dalton as compared with bankruptcy
continues to be considerable in all but

The general trend of prices on farm
products was downward near the 1st OF
May and fruits and vegetables were no
exception, although the declines were
moderate and few lines of fresh prod
uce moved upward against the prevail.
ing tendency. according TO the Onlteo
States Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les. The old onion season is nearly
done and prices are irregular. The sup
ply of new onions has increased and
prices are lower. The Northern potato
crop has been moving to market in
moderate volume, led by heavy ship
merits from Maine and Idaho. The
markets on new potatoes were fairly
steady in Northern cities around the 1st
of May, but prices tended lower for
Southern onions and strawberries
Firm to higher prices prevail for as

cabbage, Notwithstanding the usual
trend downward at this time of the
year because Of increasing supplies.
Firm Apple Markets.
The apple markets have been giving
stronger action than most other lines OF
produce. One reason for the fairly well
sustained price is the great reduction
in the moderate surplus. produced be-
cause of active exports throughout the
season. Returns 1a1rly Satisfactory Vc

Midwestern apples in the large markets

some markets advanced a little near the
