 One of the greater enterprises to be planned for the Fairbanks district next year is the construction of a large ditch to supply water to the miners on Cleary creek. The ditch will be in the neighborhood of 20 miles long and will carry sufficient water to supply all demands.
 Beaver creek is an ideal mining camp, according to late arrivals from that camp. According to the Ram part Forum several miners had re-

 The proposition to annex Yukon to British Columbia is looked upon by certain quarters with favor, as by that means Yukon would escape from her political turmoil and many of her heavy expenses. It is argued that annexation would put the very desir- able British Columbia laws in effect. Besides it would save the governors salary, 12,OOO year, and the ex- penses of the Yukon council.

The Origin of the U. S. A.
BY JONATHAN A. RAWSON, JR.
New York Warns the Tories.

NEW YORK. March %, 1776.-
Gov. William Tryon, now a refugee
on the British ship Duchess of Cor
don. in the North River. refused to be
interviewed today on yesterdays
patriotic demonstration. in which his
effigy was hung in the parade grounds
after being carted through the princi-
pal streets of the city. This demon
stration was the answer of the
Gov. Tryon on March 16 and adj
dressed to "the inhabitants of New
York" This proclamation was in the
hands of the effigy when the hanging
took place, followed by the cutting
down of the gallows and the burning
of the efigy.
Gov. Tryon. in his proclamation,
professed his desire to recall those
who have revolted from their ale
glance to a sense Of their duty.
Tryon said further:
Il have the satisfaction to inform
YOU that a door Is still open to such
honest. but deluded people. as will
avail themselves of the justice and
benevolence, which the supreme Leg
islature has held out to them. Of being
restored to the Kings grace and peace,
and that proper steps have been taken
for passing a commission for that
purpose. under the great seal of
Great Britain"
Conspicuously displayed on the eff
figy as it was carted through the
streets was a label calling Tryon a
professed rebel and a traitor to the
dearest rights and privileges of this
province, as we'll as to his native
country. Another placard bore the In
scription:
Behold the bloody tool of san
culinary despot. who Is using his ut
most efforts to enslave you. With how
secure a brow and specious forms
he gilds the secret crater!
Tories take care!M''
The significance Of the patriot dem
onstration was not lost upon the
Tories for whose benefit 1t was staged,
ra aHler than with any expectation that
Tryon would learn lesson from 1t.
Although they are not orga anized or
ready for concerted action, 1t is we'll

on this long nerve growth that we
store our memory material.
There is fatty growth which de.
velops on this long part OF the cell
body every time we see or hear or
learn something new. When the time
comes to- try to recall the particular
idea, something occurs to the fatty
formation which releases it.
If we hear two things at the same
time, whenever one of them Is called
forth the other is called forth with it.
For example, if we say 1892, the name
Columbus Immediately comes to our
mind. Why? Because we have
learned the two things together.
The old time philosophers used to say
that the brain was like great big
field of snow andswhen we learned two
things together there was path made
between them just as when one has
walked across A snow-cOvered field
many times over the same path. But
this was just fanciful way of ex-
planning that two ideas which were
taken into the brain at the same time
are relea sed together.
According to scientists, we never
really forget anything we once see or
hear. The reas son that we cannot al
ways call 1t to mind. however. is be-
cause we do not stimulate In the right
way the cells where the idea Is hidden.
