Hyder weekly herald., 1931-01-03

Weather conditions in the Hyder district this winter are quite the most remarkable ever known and not even the oldest of the old-timers can re call a winter season with as mild and equable tempera lures or less snow than have prevailed here up to the present.
 There is scarcely more than a foot of snow anywhere along the lower Salmon valley anG less snow has fallen than dur ng any proceeding winter, ac- cording to all accounts, while the mercury has reached the freezing point on only two ol three occasions, and then only for few hours. Travel is re ported somewhat difficult along the upper valley but autos have been running in town scarcely " i t h u 1 hindrance.

WHAT'S ON at the SHOW?

The Nagle movie show will present Sunday evening the outstanding dramatic offering of the new Goldwyn-Ma series with the screening of Excess Baggage" with Will fam Haines in the leading role.
 Excess Baggage will be re- called as one of the most sen- 3ational long-run stage plays of the past decade and has been shown in practically ev- cry civilized nation.
 Unlike many of the famous stage plays upon conversion to he screen, the film version of Excess Baggage loses none of the qualities which made the play one of the most famous in modern days. Haines is SUD- ported by splendid cast of screen luminaries, including Frances Marion. James Cruze was the director.
 The program will also in clude a Hal. Roach all star comedy, "A Pair of Tights. :" This is a double -barrelled title which promises some funny possibilities.
 The oddity number will be "A Foundation of Gold.
