7S6T T3UUT0R1AL SANK OF ALASKA,
HYDER PIONEERS
TRAVELING TRAIL
OF PROSPERITY
(Hyder Miner.)
Hyder Igloo, No. 2f>. pioneers of
Alaska, has accomplished what ap
peared at the start to be a for
midable undertaking, and today oc
cupies a position second to no igloo
In tlie Territory In the matter of
finbneial independence, a. iKisitioul
that lias been secured quietly and
; without ostentation, in a little more!
than two years’ time.
The Igloo owns its own homo, a:
fine three-storied hall that cost.i
with fixtures and equipment, ail
least $6,000, this without taking
] into consideration the volunteer
| labor, of which there was a large
; amount donated. The initial money!
1 was raised through issuing bonds in
I denominut ions of $25 each, a total
sum of $1,450. Of these bonds,
twenty were sold to non-members of
the Igloo. Tltdse have all been re
demed, and the .'18 held by members,
amounting to $950, constitutes the
only indebtedness of the Igloo. The
only other receipts have been from
social entertainments and member
ship fees. There is practically
enough money in the treasury now
to offset the outstanding bonds.
Pioneer Hall Is a thoroughly ap
preciated asset to Hyder. li is the
only hall where gatherings of any
size can be held. And the Pioneers
have been more Ilian generous in
opening its doors free of charge to
all meetings of a public nature:
Mass meetings of various kinds,
funerals, church services, school
services, school entertainments,
Christmas celebrations, labor union
meetings, all have been held there
without cost. Not only this, the
Pioneers have expended approxi
mately' $700 in emergency donations.
The ground upon which the hall
stands was donated to tho Igloo by
Dan and Andy Dindeborg.
numeu nun a. iiuiial
(membership of 63, at a time when
| Hyde? was very much in the lime
light and filled with oldtimers from
| the Interior, those of the stampede
I variety, who understand placer but
not hard rook mining, and who
head for every new camp a.- soon
ns its'name is mentioned. Many
of these have returned to the In
terior, and the membership of tho
Igloo has dwindled in consequence
to about 35 in good standing.
Now that the Igloo is on a sound
financial footing the members feel
that they can conscientiously call on
! every resident of tlit* district who is
i eligible to jpln. to come into the

MACAO. China, Feb. 1. — This
quaint, old city, belonging to Por
tugal, although commercially and In-1
dur.trially dead, is experiencing a|
real estate boom and a period ofj
high rents worthy of New York in
the post war days. The situation is

Chance- Enforcement Law
Improving Says Mathews.
i
The greater proportion of v!. 1. y
received in Alaska is either synthetic
whiskey or denatured alcohol .1 ;d the
person who drinks the 'tuff is taking
a a mibhv s chance that h s will
pull through safely, accord a,, to Dr
H. (>. .Mathew i, special t. an !
Roy A. Haynes, Federal ]', iliihitinn
Commissioner. Dr. Mathews is in
Juneau to pot a “do .e-up," .11 he
says, of present existing conditions
111 the enforcement of the 18th
amendment iu this district. He is
making an inspection of the present
methods practiced by prohibition of
ficers. in enforcing tits law an.l th
results ns they have occurred so fur. j
Alaska is a perplexing problem in,
the enforcement of the liquor law,
because of its close proximity to
Canada, resulting in an overflowing
market in the territory, but there
has been an improvement In the en
forcement of the law, he says.
Improvement
According to reports wnicu ua\e
reached me, I would say that great
improvement has been made iin the
enforcement of the 18th amendment
in Alaska, within the last year and
a half,” said Dr. Mathews.
Very little genuine whiskey ever
readies Alaska, Dr. Mathows said
The whiskey which is brought to
(he territory is made 'in the United
States and Canada, and probably a
majority of it. is made in Canada,
and Is of a cheap and dangerous
grade. It Is made from wood al j
cohol or a cheap grade of alcohol, I
or from redistilled denatured alcohol,
paraded under the guise of Scotch
and other whiskeys, and Is flooded
on the market. Very often the
whiskey runners •themselves are un
aware they are not getting genuine
whiskey.
Ingenuous methods of treating and
coloring tho distilled spirits have
been evolved and the manufacture
of fake seals, labels and Internal
revenue stamps is carried on on a
big scale, according to Dr. Mathew*.

Propaganda
“I cannot emphasize this too
it'onaly thut the propaganda carried
on against the enforcement of he
18th amendment places emphasis on
a few things, none of which art true.
“First, the propagandists u-e try
