TELLS OF ACTIVITIES RUBY
 POORMAN MINING SECTION
(Fairbanks News-Miner.) }

1 Spencer, Alaska agent for the Revig- ator Water Jar Company. MT. Spen- cer's article from Ruby is called "Revig -a- Touring the Ruby Mining District" and is as follows:
 Leaving Ruby Friday August 15), we merrily jounced over the auto road in Albert Verhonik's .laffing Liz zie" to the Susitna Albert missed a few bumps, but he got them coming back. 1t wasn't possible to hit them all going one way.
 At the Saatna WE met Ed Wilkin- son, the foreman of the road crew, with a team and driver, and he kind ly invited me to ride the nine miles between the Salatna and Poorman.
 The road was newly built, and the recent rains made it s,so soft that t was with difficulty that thet team made any progress However, it was a relief to get on the wagon and help unload steel culverts whenever the team stopped for this purpose. At that the occasional lift on the better stretches of road was much appreci- ated.
 MT. Wilkinson surely has made a wonderful showing with the funds available. The road vii be completed to Poorman by the end of July, 1881. so that 1t will be possible for trucks and autos to drive from Ruby to Poornan and return tn esame day. The recent downpours in this see- tion are the worst in years and are in large measure responsible for the condition of the roads. This is diff ficult section in which to construct roads owing to the lack of gravel al- most the entire distance fsom. Ruby 1 to Poorman.
 When I arrived at Jesse'ss place in Poorman it proceeded to rain in great big gobs and kept tsup for two days and nights and tflar began again for four solid days and nights. There was no indication of a let-up, so I padded down Poorman creek to- ward Discovery on Beaver. At El- dorado l found Evan Jones building 8 cabin preparatory to prospecting on that creek this coming winter. Bill ] Ferry and Clint Winan were there from Nevada creek, where they will operate with a small plant this win ter. They have enough in sight for an even break and the pay gets better in their tunnel.
 ] Ras Watson was there from Moose creek, and he reported that Shrop- shire mad struck rich pay under the messhouse-better pay than he had l before.
 l waded on over to Beaver that time, and long before I came to Dis covery could see the gin pole with the dump bucket coming up loaded every ten minutes.
 Next morning I went down in the drift and was surprised to see the amount of dirt that had been taken out. The first cleanup showed good, but the pannings are far better in the new tunnel. There is pay for 200 feet and they are now drifting toward the discovery shaft, where thete is known to be good pay.
 The wet ground that was reported earlier in the season on Beaver creek is not wet enough to give any great difficulty in actual mining, but the water seeps in a little too fast to be baed out with windlass.
 A small steam pump or siphon discovery shaft is dry and the ground could easily handle the seepage. The is easily worked. There is very lit- tie sediment and almost no boulders. Only three holes have been sunk be- low discovery on the right limit

"One of the certain indications of an edu-
Gated man is his ability to withhold Judgment,
to wait until he thinks all the evidence Is in

Justice Roberts believes that the colleges are
not geared to the job of mass production In
education which they are performing. He Is
opposed to mass college education in its present
form. He Is convinced that many Youths un-
able to assimilate a college education are num-
bered among the students and that not only
do the courses of instruction fail to mold their
minds beneflcially, but the atmosphere units
them for satisfying work in a craft or busi-
ness which they would be very competent to do.
L believe" said Justice Roberts, that tho
present type Of college education should be
denied TO an overwhelming number of students
who permitted to enter 1 know of
case after case Of parents who are sacrificing
their savings and adding years of pinched living
for themselves in order to send boy to college
whose inclinations and attainments do not
warrant such training.
The suggestion has been made that colleges
continue to SubSidize and endow the brilliant
students through low tuition fees and scholar
ships and charge the other undergraduates
what it really costs to operate the school plant
This would materially increase the cost of four
years in college for those who benefit least
through college advantages.

to lecture crammed into me by a youngster
without maturity or experience, but I was
taught to think by men whose wisdom and
knowledge ripened and thorough.
You might begin in the class on philosophy
by expressing a haSty unconSidered opinion
but one or two questions revealed the fact that
your opinion was hollow and unSound that
it would not stand the most simple examina-

you did not dare to have any opinions except
those which you were ready to fight for against
the searching attack of the professor and the
members of the class

proposition for granted, and I still find myself
occasionally aSkng-although it is more than

what would Fullerton say to this or how would
Pap Lamberton regard this idea?' I was
lucky enough to be taught by great teachers;
and how many OF the colleges today, operating
under forced draft and modified for mass pro-
duction, how many of them can provide such
faculties to fertilize, stimulate and stir the
minds of their students?

Feeding upon the highly infiammable
cargo of nitrate of potash, shellac and
peat moss, the flames yesterday defied
fire fighters Oficials said the fire I'M
doubtedly was caused by spontaneous
combustion.
All but 80 of the Muenchen's 267 pas
sengers had left the ship when steve
dores discovered the fire. The 80 were
marshaled ashore without knowing the
ship was aflre
Soon after the flames were discovered

NEW YORK, February 12.-
Far down in No. 4 hold, flames to
the right and left of them, a
majority of 1000 canaries lived
through the fire that swept the
North German Lloyd liner Muen-
chen.
When firemen penetrated the
hold today, expecting to find all
the birds dead, they were greeted
by cheerful chirps. Water had
seeped into the compartment, but
there was no indication that the
flames or smoke had reached the
feathered passengers.
The crates containing the birds
were quickly removed to the dock
and bird seed and water supplied.

ILLNESSES CHECKS
motive IN KILLING
Ex.EmpIoye Shoots Woman
After Forcing Her to Write
Paper for $500.
Nv The Assnciatrd Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CARSON CITY, Mich, August al
State police and county officers today
held the confession of William H. Da-
Wis, IS, that he killed his former en-
ployer, Mrs. Doris Loree, 59-year-old
widow, after forcing her to write two
checks for a total Of $500.
One of the checks-for $200-was
caShed by him. Davis admitted TO Sher-
If Francis M. Waldo and State police.
The other was found in his possession,
the officers said, when he was arrested
as he returned to his home near here
last night after an all-day visit to
Grand Rapids.
The cashing of the check at a bank
In the village of Fenwick late Tuesday
afternoon quickly put officers on the
trail of Davis. The check was caShed
before the body of Mrs. Loree was
found last night in her farm home 5
miles from here. The cheek was identi-
fed as that corresponding to a stub
made out to -. Smith" in the check
book which lay on table in front OF
the body. A pen was still in her hand
when the woman was shot.
Davis confessed, officers said, that he
was prompted to commit the crime by
a debt of $50 on his automobile, for
which he was being pressed by finance
company. He was quoted as saying
that he took his mother, father and
sweetheart with him to Grand Rapids
yesterday and made the payment.
The prisoner told officers, they said,
that he shot Mrs. Loree to prevent her
stopping payment on the checks.

YARDSTICK METHOD
TURNS TOPSY-TURVY
Effort to Evaluate Broadcasting
Facilities Is Upset by Popu-
lation Census.

The yardstick method of evaluating
broadcaSting facilities, over which the
Federal radio authorities worked so
laboriously, has been turned topsy-turvy
by the population census.
Distribution of broadcasting facilities
among the States and the five radio
zones has been computed by the Fed
eral Radio Commission on the basis OF
the estimated population OF 1928 and
was completed only a few weeks ago.
Now with the new preliminary census
figures available, the proportions OF Ia
cilities accorded each State in relation
to It's population are no longer COM
petent or correct. Consequently the
commission will have to realign Its en-
tire chart of station distribution.
But these shifts merely will be on
paper for the present. States which in
creased in population and had more
than their shares of stations, hours OF
operation and power under the 1928
figures will benefit. On the other hand.
States which showed declines in popu-
lation and were lacking in facilities will
60 farther in the rut-on paper.
The commission, however, is required
BY law to effect an equal distribution of
facilities, so far as Is technically pos
sible, among the States and the zones,
according TO population. If it adheres
to the letter of the law it must realign
the stations themselves and not pawns.
There never has been this equality, but
the commission constantly has that aim
in view
All three of the sore spots in radio
the States of California. New York and
Illinois-are Salved somewhat under the
new population figures. That is because
each State showed gains. There are
few drastic deviations in facilities under
the new populations, but practically
every State will have some changes.
In any event, the commission must
revise its yardStick, or unit system" by
which it measures the facilities of States
and zones, but, because the population
figures now available are only prelim-
mary, the commission has not yet sane
toned revision of its unit system.
