phenomenon was brought about by per-
fectly natural causes. Miles Holcomb
was the head Of the big Johnsonville
mill. He was Il leader in the ranks of
the men who do things. Big, broad
shouldered, rough and shrewd, he was
the typical guardian spirit of n cotton
mill, and he recognized that there was
his place. Once he had taken time to
play lieutenant governor for term, but
that was only side issue. He was not
anxious to let the big machine trundle
along by itself for two years while he
went off to play governor. When he
first read his name in the paper, 1t was
rumored as Il remarkable fact among
the men who would have laid down
their lives to be governor for one month
that he swore vigorously.
But no one knew better than Sam
Wilson the man he had to deal with or
the tools he had to use. Within twenty
four hours Sam was visited by half Il
dozen Johnsonville politicians, among
them two or three friends Of Holcomb.
These he instructed to win Holcomb
around Immediately. at isn't every day
that the nomination for governor comes
knocking at mans door," said Sam.
Besides, you can tell him it won't hurt
his business any to have had the title of
governor. You want to start at him
right off, too. because the Culbcrson fell
lows from here will be over right away
to see what he will do. You've got an
early start and you want to keep 60

Sam Wilson was right. After think
ing the matter over couple Of days
the Culberson circle decided to APP
proach Holcomb to learn his position.
They found him still undecided and, in
spite of the assaults Of his friends, still
with a leaning to decline, which they
hoped to encourage.

A company has been formed in Buff

which today is the astonishment of
the scientific world, from uranium
ores obtained from Utah beds owned
by the company. The Buffalo com
pany proposes to make It a market
able commodity, producing it as a
commercial article A few years ago
while in the West met two prospec-
tors. who in searching for gold and
silver, had met peculiar ore deposits
in Grant county, Utah. They sent the
ore to an assayer, who reported not a
trace of the precious metals. There
was much uranium however, and Mr..
Lockwood. knowing its commercial
value, urged the importance of the
dlscovefy upon the prospectors with
whom he had become associated, and
claims were staked out upon the whole
deposit The Utah bed was carnotite,
a combination of uranium, vandadium,
iron, copper and barium, and as later
researches showed, radium and polon.
ium After establishing a title to the
claim Mr.. Lockwood had returned
East and subsequently became in.
terested in the discovery Of Professor
and Madame Curie and Professor
Becquerels announcement of the ra-
dio-activity of uranium, followed as it
was by the discovery Of the radium.
This suggested to Mr. Lockwood that
the uranium from Utah would yield
radium as well as the uranium ex-
tracted from the flinty pitchblende
and a plant to manufacture this re-
markable substance will soon be in
operation.

It takes about three days to get a
letter to Portland and get It delivered
to house number in that city.
II takes about forty-elght hours to

gets into the mail at Salem the same
evening-the Portland Journal the
same mail the next day.
This is probably not the fault Of
the Salem postoffice, but II those pa.

A oNE.MAN POWER srArE.

The history OF Oregon journalism.
read by MIR Hines at the press as
sociation shows Oregon to have been
a one-man power state.
For about twenty years editor Bush
seems TO have been the whole brains.
political push and managing power
The last twenty years Editor Scott
has been the oue-man power and pre-
siding genius In the public Affairs Of
this state,
Oregon has Jagged behind California
and Washington In development. from
both natural and artificial causes.
But Oregon has been one-man
proposition. one-lunged common
wealth. whether for good or bad. and
that cannot be said OF the other
states
When could Il be said that one man
dominated the whole public policy OF
California or OF Washington?
Those states have had from five 90
ten men Of great ability and proml.
nenoe at all times, struggling for su.
premacy and progress.
Those states have from Ave to ten
cities OF commercial importance, while
Oregon has but one, Oregon Is one
city state.
II Is hard 20 say whether the state
has produced the one-man-power or
the onemanpower has produced the
state
Il Is a com. .llment to the power Of
the press that the one-maninhuence
has been welded by newspaper
