RADIOPHONE BUILT BY BOY

It has remained for a fourteen year old schoolboy, Stavely Mellor, to silence the fireside sceptics who for several years past, have argued that owing to the high mountains a wireless station could never be oper- ated successfully in the town ofStew- art. Such has been a favorite topic at one time and another around the
 various glowing stoves, during the long, quiet winter months. But a new generation has now dispelled this mist of pessimism.so so confidently expounded by the pseudo-wise.
 Stavely, without saying word to
 his parents or to anyone, for that
 matter took a Quaker Rolled Oats
 container made of cardboard, around
 which he tightly wrapped 24guage
 covered copper wire, breaking the
 covering every ten turns, for the purpose of obtaining connection in order to adjust his instrument to the wave lengths; secured a specimen of
 galena ore from the Sultan mining claims on Bitter creek; rigged his aerials over his fathers store. Then
 when everything was all set. he told his father what he had done and asked him to come and look at it. Together they went to the instru- ment, Stavely adjusted his head phones. and with great excitement clearly heard the wireless station at Hyder two and one-half miles away, operating. The pleasure of this dis
 covery over, with his fathers assist
 ance he felt out further, and even tually picked up wireless from Ju- neau. Prince Rupert and other north
 coast points.
 Since then MT. Mellor has pre- sented his son with an R2000 radio receiyisg set manufactured for anna teurs, and as result he has listened
 in on number of concerts, speeches
 and press news broadcasted from as far south as Los Angeles and as far
 east as Regina, and often picks up
 broadcasting from Intermediary points such as Edmonton, Calgary 1 Vancouver and Seattle.-Portland

SOURDOUGH AND BRUIN
 CLASH NEAR DAWSON
(Daw awson News )


 George Westbrook, sourdough, while cruising near the head of o. K. Gulch. a short distance above town on the left limit of the Yukon. sud- denly heard a tremendous crashing is the woods, and looked up to be- hold a mammoth brown bear coming his way. George was right in the track of the monster. and there was no time to lose in laying out his plan of campaign. The man had no other weapon than a shotgun loaded with number seven shot. George did not hesitate. He leveled the weapon on Bruin and poured in sev- eral rounds of shot. Some of this apparently penetrated the hide of the big fellow and he did not relish the peppery reception. Bruin then turned and beat a nasty retreat. George took advantage of the oppor tunity and also beat it. Today he IS back with a big piece of Remington artillery, looking after the bear, and says he won't rest until he nails the hide on the cabin door.

FAIRBANKS HO0TCH

Late arrivals from Fairbanks are relating a story that is going the rounds in the interior city which deals with the potency of moonshine whiskey made in the Panama camp.
 According to the reports, which anne from a reliable source, a quan tity of confiscated booze was turned over by the marshars office to the Sisters of Charity, for medicinal use n the Fairbanks hospital. It is said the white mule" was used as substitute for alcohol. in rubbing down patients, but that the stuff took all the skin off the backs of those on whom the experiment was tried. Later some surgical instru ments were placed in quantity of he whiskey. to test its utility as sterilizer, and the instruments turned green.-Anchorage Times.
