TIES
 ARE NEEDED BY
 A. [. COMMISSION

MT. Browne, engineer in charge, wishes to announce that he is pre- pared to buy railroad ties in any quantity for immediate use in rail- road extension work at fifty cents apice, delivered either on the Com mission dock or anywhere on the right of way. No time IS specified for delivery and he will take them at any time the sooner the better, as there is immediate need for a large quantity of this material.
 The ties must be eight feet long, seven inches thick with an eight inch face.
 There is a large quantity of this material in the woods in the neigh borhood of Lost Slough, but it can not be got at readily at the present time and will not be salvaged until after freeZeup. In the meantime a large quantity is needed for inn mediate use and those who wish to supply the demand will be given an opportunity to do so at fifty cents per tie.
 Mr Browne says that he can use a large quantity of this material and will take all he can get, provided they are up to standard 1mme- diate delivery even in small quanti- ties is desired and those who want to take up the proposition would do we'll to bear this in mind.
 Suitable timber for this purpose, in large quantity. can be located along the right of way.

 "One way of preventing the dis semination and loss of radium is to provide a substitute. Mesothorium is an excellent substitute in many ways. Its half-life period is much shorter than that of radium. When first prepared, it gradually increases in activity, comes to maximum, and then begins to lose it's activity After "ripening" for about a year after being prepared, it can be used for luminous paint just as efficiently as radium. Its usefulness for such purpose will last for or years, which is as long as is required for cheap watches, push buttons, etc.
 "Mesothorium can be obtained as byproduct in the treatment of monazite sand for the manufacture of thorium nitrate used in incandes- cant mantles. During the last year. the United States Bureau of Mines has been experimenting along these lines and has developed a process which is being put into the largest thorium plant in. the country at the present time, and it is hoped that before long mesothorium can be substituted for some of the radium that is now being used in luminous products.
 "Mesothorium can also be used for cancer treatment, although it's short life makes it much less de- sirable for this purpose than ra- dium."

Ike Weathers, Al Weathers and F. C. Wright were arrested recently at Juneau, upon complaint of Roy Douglas, manager of the Tee Har- Dor Packing company, charged with grand larceny for stealing salmon from the traps of the Tee Harbor Packing Co.,, one mile south of Point Retreat. The complaint al leges that 1900 salmon, valued at $500 were taken from the trap. Wright has been employed as watch man and it is charged he gave the fish to the Weathers, who operate fishing boat, and that he was in a conspiracy with them to rob the company. They were bound over for preliminary hearing under $500 bonds. - ~-.:.: ..=:-..- -- -~

SUGAR BEET MILLS
 AWAITING HARVEST

SAN FRANCISCO.-Just 100 sugar beet mills in the United States are now ready to turn out sugar to furnish sugar to our soldiers as soon as the harvesting of the sugar beet crop begins, according to advices received here from the United States department of agriculture
 Sixteen of the mills, with capaci- ties ranging from a few hundred tons to 5000 tons each 24 hours, were built in 1917 to help handle the 1918 crop. Seventeen mills were built in 1916 in these states, Wyom- ing, Idaho, Nebraska, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Montana, Iowa, California. and Washington. "~- ..."@
 California had the first sugar beet mill in the United States. This was built in 1870.

CANAL SYSTEM
 IS ADVOCATED

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary Redfield, in his report to the Senate recommends the construction of a government owned system of deep sea level canals from Massachusetts, to the South Atlantic states.
 The canals to be constructed are to serve partly as aids to navigation and to relieve the congestion of traffic on the railroads between Massachusetts and the South At lantic states.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colorado.-A shortage of radium was forecast by Dr. Richard B. Moore, of the United States Bureau of Mines in an ad- dress he delivered here last week before the annual meeting of the American Institute of Mining En- gineers. Radium is largely being used on the faces of watches and clocks and other similar purposes the speaker said.
 It is great pity that our supply of radium is being disseminated in this manner" said pr. Moore. But as the physicians and surgeons of the country are not purchasing enough radium to make the industry a financial success. it is natural that the manufacturers should take other means of creating a demand. The day is not far distant, in my
 
 judgment, when we shall greatly regret the radium that has been lost in this way.
 "Radium has a most decided use fulness at the present time; nine instruments used on airplanes have dials made luminous with radium paint; it is employed in the same manner for compasses and gun sights. The efficiency of night fir ing with both machine guns and artillery, has been greatly increased by the use of these luminous sights Other uses cannot be specified. al the present time, in a public paper.
 Tt is difficult to estimate -he exact amount of radium ir exist ence at the present time; probably it is somewhere around oz. Of ra- dium element. Considerably more than half the amount of radium now in existence has come from Colorado and Utah carnotite ores.
 ''Six years ago, the engineers Of the Bureau of Mines estimated that at the current rate of production, the deposits might last, commer- cially 10 or 12 years. At the pres ent time, it is very difficult to obtain ore. Most of the deposits are owned by five operating radium companies. The production has in- creased very greatly during the war and I am doubtful whether we can depend upon our carnotite deposits to yield commercial quantities of ore for more than s or years longer. It is my judgment that the fields will not produce more than 100 additional grams of radium ele- ment at the most-if that much This would about double the worlds present supply; but on account of the large use of radium in cancer treatment, such an amount, although large scientifically, would be small in proportion to the probable de.

FAIR RESULTS
 IN COAL TESTS
 ARE OBTAINED

lwelVe tons Of coal from w. J. Lynn's mine were subjected to test on locomotive No. PIP for the past two days and were found to be fairly satisfactory The actual use of it with the results obtained has demonstrated that it is more satisfactory than wood Mir. Lynn's mine is situated near the right of way, 29 miles south of town.
 The test disclosed the fact that 2750 pounds of this raw coal will do the work of one cord of 1 foot wood, and it is thought that if long ton of 2240 pounds of coal can be delivered to the cars at S5 per ton, it would be cheaper to use this fuel.
 Mir. Browne told the News repre- sentative that the coal found in Lynn's mine and in the neighbor- hood, while being possibly better than wood and would give better re- suits if used on the locomotives, was young coal and not as good as the coal found in the Lignite district. This coal, he said was little more than hardened peat and he thought that a sufficient pressure of the earth had not been exerted to force all of the moisture out of it. The presence of this moisture in the coal obslined at Lynn's mine gives it the only objectionable qualities. However, MT. Browne thinks that it is much better than wood in every way and will prove to be much cheaper.
 It is the intention of the Com mission to get large quantity of this coal from Mr Lynn, who has been awarded a contract to supply one thousand tons of it to the Con- mission. An exhaustive test of the fuel will then be conducted in the boilers of the power plant. The two boilers of the plant will be fed with measured quantities of wood and coal respectively and the re- suits carefully watched One of the boilers will be fed with a measured quantity of wood for period of week or ten days and the other with a weighed out quantity of coal for the same period, and from the re- suits obtained an accurate estimate of the relative values of the two classes Of fuel will be obtained. The chemical tests to which this coal was subjected at the Bureau of Mines at Fairbanks, while being satisfactory were more theoretical in the results; the actual test planned by the Commission will demonstrate at first hand just what the coal is worth.
 A supply of this coal will be ob- tained from Billy Lynn and used by the Commission for all purposes until such time as the coal near ! Lignite which is older and of better quality, can be reached.
 1 MT. Browne also stated that a freight rate will be named to en- able Lynn to bring quantities of coal to Nenana for domestic purposes if he cared to produce it for this pur- pose. It is thought that coal will be largely used, as it is much better than wood, which is becoming more difficult to obtain.
