Boys Explain
Cause Of Fire

Sleuthing on the part of local po-
lice and an hours questioning OF
three local Mexican boys solved the
mystery of what caused the box car
fire Monday afternoon, it was
learned at police headquarters yes
terday afternoon.
According to police, the young
sters admitted that they had killed
a bird and wished to roast it-like
the heroes of frontier days ate their
meals. An empty box car on u
siding north of the Southern Sierras
Power company terminal offered an
ideal place for this, away from pry-
ing eyes, and SO they got matches
and kindling and proceeded with
the roasting operations.
The fire soon got beyond their
control and the boys made their
escape leaving the bird behind. A
call brought the fire department TO
the scene but they were unable 20
stem the force of the blaze. The
car was totally destroyed at an es-
timated loss of $4,000, railroad Of
ficialS said.
Police were unable to discover
the species of bird Whicn was roast
ed, nor could they determine what
action is to be taken against the
three roasters.

Turkey Is Seeking New Treaty
For Control Over the Straits

1STANBUL-With Turkey preparing
to celebrate its tenth anniversary as a
republic next October, the question of
military jurisdiction over the Darda-
nelles, the Sea of Marmora and the
BosphoruS again becomes important.
DR.. Tewfk Rushdi Bey, Turkish foreign
Minister, now is endeavoring to bring all
countries on the Black Sea in accord
on Turkeys demand for the abrogation
Of the convention of Straits, signed
simultaneously with the treaty of Lau-
same in 1928.
Understanding Reached.
It is reported on high authority that
the Soviet government already has
reached an understanding with Turkish
officials regarding the Straits. Old
czarist Russia opposed Turkeys forti-
f1cation Of the passage which provides
marine link between the Black Sea
and the Mediterranean. Moscow Off
cials it is said, have reversed this atti-
tude and are now In favor of restoring
to Turkey the right to fortify the pas
sage.
The question undoubtedly will be dis
cussed at the forthcoming celebration,
when it is expected that representatives
Of several Of the Black Sea countries
will be present. Rumania already has
announced that its foreign minister.
Nicolas Tftulescu, will be in Ankara at
the time. 1t is also expected that Pre-
mier Panayotis Tsaldaris of Greece will
be present.
Expect Rumania's Support.
The question has been brought to the
foreground by the signing Of a pact
between Russia and Rumania, which

tually settles Rumania's fears Of pos

single particle. What Is meant is that
the ray travels with 20 times the energy
Of each particle Of the thunderbolt The
cosmic ray is by far the most intense
concentration of energy that man has
beyond anything that we can hope to
generate in the laboratory, and because
OF this 1t may become powerful tool
for exploring the inner structure of the
atom"
This use of the cosmic ray as an
atom-probing tool had its first success
within the last year in the hands of Dr.
Carl D. Anderson, working in DR.. r. A.
Millikan's laboratory in Pasadena. Dr.
Anderson found that when cosmic ray
collided with the nucleus or inner core
of the atom something came out of the
nucleus that had never been known be-
fore-a new particle of matter, new
building block, which he named the
"positron."
The positron appears to be Of about
the same mass or weight as the we'll
known electron, but whereas the cleo
tron carries a negative charge of cleo
tricity, the new unit Is positively
charged-wherefore the name. Certain
characteristics of the positron suggest
an answer to certain questions that
have long perplexed the atom chasers-
and now in several other laboratories
new traps are being set to catch cosmic,
rays and to record by photography
what happens to an atom when one of
these tremendously energized rays pene-
trates to its inner citadel
This discovery OF the pOSitron Is revO-

lutionary, and in consequence science
is already beginning another revision of
its oft-changed picture of the atom.
The discovery suggests-and this should
appeal to those thriftily minded per-
sons who necessarily ask What use is
it?"-that cosmic rays may prove to be
the long-sought key to unlock the
stored energy of the atom and release
new power for industry.
Certainly cosmic rays have the ability
to stir up atoms and electrify them to
degree far beyond that of any other
known force. Indeed, it was this ability
that betrayed the existence of the rays
in the first place. Scientists who had
shielded their electroscopes within metal
cases had noticed that after few days
the electrical charge stored up in the
instrument escaped. The slow dis
charge was attributed to a natural
leak" and while no one could explain
it scientifically, the leak was accepted
as an unavoidable and perhaps an in
herent defect of the instrument The
physicists got in the habit of calculat-
ing what the leak would be, and allow
ing for it-though all the time. Of
course, they were bothered by the in
consistency and were trying to perfect
their measuring devices and reduce the
leak as near as possible to the vanishing
point
With the discovery of radium and the
proof that some of its rays were able to
penetrate many solids, it was supposed
that here was the long-sought explain
ation of the natural leak. Radium and
other radioactive substances exist in

FORMATIONS created more than 25 900
years ago when successive glacial sheets
OF the Ice Age swept down from the
north and changed the geological face"
OF the State of Washington, will now
have bearing on that part Of the pub
1ic works program of the new deal'
known as the Columbia River develop
ment.
President Roosevelt recently signed
the act by which S63,000,000 will be ap-
proprlated to begin work that will take
advantage of glacial formations in the
Northwest. and provide the Columbia
River Basin with its hydroelectric
power and reclamation project. BY
the act the Northwest will be put on
parity with the Southwest, which has
It's Boulder Dam, the Northeast with
its st. Lawrence development and the
Southeast with its Muscle Shoals.
AS plans now stand, the Columbia
River development is symbolized by
huge dam that will block the river at
Grand Coulee in the State of Washing
ton. 1t was at Grand Coulee that the
last Ice Age left behind what Is per-
haps the greatest evidence Of its canyon
cutting, eroSiVe activity.
Columbia River Blocked.
The present Columbia River starts
in Canada, and winds south for 300
miles until it reaches that elevation
of land known as the Columbia Pla-
teau. Faced with this obstacle, the
river turns first west and then south
again as it skirts the plateau on its
western edge. Finally, at the junction
of the Snake River. it once more turns
west and finally enters the Pacific.
The Columbia River did not, however,
always have this course. During the
Ice Age one lobe of the ice sheet known
as the "Cordilleran" came down and
blocked the pre-glacial Columbia at
the western end of the Columbia Pla-
teau With no outlet the river started
to back up. It's waters were raised
nearly thousand feet by the melting
of the glacial sheet until they finally
were high enough to find path over
the high plateau at Grand Coulee. This
outlet had to drain what by this time
was an enormous body Of water known
as glacial Lake Missoula, 1000 feet
deep and containing some 500 cubic
miles of water.
Flowing over the plateau these gla-
cial waters came to a jumping oh
place" about halfway down the present
canyon of Grand Coulee, where the
land falls 500 feet in two miles. There
a giant cascade was formed that event.
ually cut through the rock to form a
cataract 600 feet high, with a mile
and a half crest. In addition a gorge
was dug out above the falls that Is
three times as deep as that of Niagara
and at a maximum nine times as wide.
Gorge High Above River.
With the retreat of the great ice sheet
the Columbia River eventually re-
turned to its former level and took
its present course around the Columbia
Plateau. The work of the glacier re-
manned behind, but at an elevation Of
at least 500 feet above the river.
Today at Grand Coulee one can see,
, high up on the hills above the Colum-
bia, the deep cut that was once the
mouth of this prehistoric "Niagar"
Along the steep 33-mile gorge Of Grand
Coulee, until it spreads out and drains
onto the Columbia Plateau, there are

Canyon Carved by Glacial Invasion
TO Be Utilized in Columbia River Work

through solid rock, and dry cataracts
from 100 to 600 feet high and giant
sandbars 100 to 200 feet thick. These
give true evidence of some prehistoric
stream activity perhaps unequaled We
fore or since.
The reclamation project o. the Co.
lumbia Basin will restore Grand Coulee
to its prehistoric purpose as a conduit
between a. dam-retained lake in the
Columbia Valley. north of the plateau,
and the arid but fertile land of the
plateau itself. In theory. at least, all
that is necessary is to store water on
the Columbia River, pump it up some
500 to 600 feet to the mouth of the
Grand Coulee and let it run down on
the 100000 acres of plateau land.
That water will be a mere trickle com
pared to the torrent that flowed through
the canyon at the end of the Ice Age
Reinforced concrete Of the dam will
replace the glacial ice and time will be
turned back thousands of years as part

diverted southwark.
Has Only Dry Farming.
The area to which the waters would
flow has been described by Army en-
gineers in their report to Congress as
the largest and finest body of land in
the region" At present much of it is
unclaimed because the low rainfall pro-
hibits all crops other than grass and
wheat, the latter possible only by dry
farming methods in restricted areas.
The floor of Grand Coulee at its head
is almost 500 feet above the water level
Of the Columbia. A dam of this height
is impracticable, for one thing, because
1t would create lake that would back
the water as far as Revelstoke in Brit
ish Columbia. The proposed 130-foot
dam will form lake extending back
to Kettle Falls for 100 miles. It will
flood no power sites of the future and
no land outside of Washington.
BY the proposed project, water would
be pumped up several hundred feet to
the floor Of Grand Coulee. The canyon
itself would in turn be damned at its
lower end to provide a reservoir for
storage. Power for pumping would be
obtained from the hydroelectric station
at the Columbia River damsite. with
a half million horsepower in excess of
pumping needs.
Magnitude of Program.
It must not be thought that the
Grand Coulee dam and reclamation
project Is the whole story Of the Co.
lumbia Basin development Grand
Coulee Is some 600 miles from the
ocean. Below it are to be nine other
power sites and reclamation works. The
Army engineers report gives a true
picture of the magnitude of the whole
undertaking when it says:
I'm forming an idea of the whole
situation it should be kept in mind
that the hydroelectric projects placed
in operation in this market region
since 1880. together with those for
which plans are developed, will provide
twice the amount Of power that has
been installed from 1920 to 1890; also
that the estimated power installation
Of the 10 projects Of the proposed Co.
lumbia River plan, with regulation
from the Grand Coulee project alone,
are equal to IL times the electric power
installed in the market area from 1920
to 1880, and amount to IS per cent
of the present electric power installa-
ton In the whole United St6tes."
