CREEL PLUNGES IN

Entry of George Creel into the ranks of
the brigade seeking to replace Sunny
jim" as boss at Sacramento Is interest
ing news and promises to make the
campaign more exciting than earlier in
dications, which certainly promised eX-
citement enough, with Upton Sinclair
numbered among the contestants.
The wartime director of publicity for
the government is smart politician and
is following in the footsteps OF that 9TH
er smart politician. William Gibbs Nc
Adoo, who needed the Greeley injunction
to go west" after he had long since
grown up William c.. after firmly es-
tablishing himself in eastern financial
and political circles, came to California,
and now as an adopted son, represents
this state in the senate.
Some Democrats have charged that
they can see the god-fatherly shadow of
William O. behind the candidacy of
Creel, who likewise was firmly establish
ed in the east before becoming a Cali
fornian. These Democrats go a step
further and insist the entry of Creel,
with flavor of sub-rosa sponsor
ship by William G., is nothing more or
less than stilleto in the spine of JUS
tus Wardell, who likewise hopes to re-
place Sunny jim.

Maybe nobody knows how long a fountain pen would last if it were not lost l. more than 40 years an unreasonable period for hard, continuous use? Not at all, according to Webb A. Browne, AL aska Railroad station agent at Ne mana. He writes in words and figures as follows, to-wit:
 T noticed in the issue of the News Miner dated December 19 you mention a woman in Charleston, S C., having used the same foun- tain pen for 30 years, which I ppe- sume is an exceptional record. I can beat that record by several points The pen I am writing this letter with, I purchased in June, 1890 before typewriters were so common as they have been the last 90 years, record of 43 years and 6 months. This pen has been in constant use and hard use too, as my occupation during that time has been railroad agent and tele- grapner nearly all the time. I have done all of my work with this pen, and have never paid out nickle for repairs, but have used many gallons of ink. have never used a typewriter" :"

Milling Operations, Tread well Yukon Depend on
 Silver Stabilization

Livingston Wernecke, m n ager for the Treadwen Yukon Company at Mayo, Yukon Territory return cd to<Juneau on the steamer Vic- toria. The journey from Mayo to Whitehorse was by air, Whitehorse to Skagway by train, and the last 100 miles by steamer. The White Pass Railway out of Skagway is experiencing much difficulty with the severe winter but is managing to maintain operations and dehv- CT the mail across the White Pass within time limits.
 MT. Wernecke reports a very se- were winter in the Mayo District. The average temperature for 3l days of December was 50 degrees below zero. Another cold spell, when the thermometer reached 67la below, was experienced in January. The long extended ex- treme cold weather has been very trying on the inhabitants; they are losing some of their everlasting cheerfulness and optimism and are wishing winter might be over. Many rabbits died in the bottom lands from inability to obtain suf- ficient food, or the food being too cold to produce enough heat to withstand the extreme cold. In two instances, coyotes also have been found frozen to death.

 Silvc- Stabilizatio Desired
 If tae price of silver is stabilized near 50 cents per ounce, or bet ter. milling operations will again begin in the Mayo District. An in crease in operations, with the con- seuuent employment of men, is greatly desired and hoped for by those living in the Yukon.
 A representative of Victor Spen- cer of Vancouver, B. O., and the Pioneer Mining Company of Brit ish Columbia, made a nasty visit recently to the Mayo District. Op- tions to purchase some of the more attractive claims were obtained and new development work has been promised this coming spring.
 While silver mining has declined during the past year, placer gold mining has increased by numerous individuals initiating operations on creeks that could not be worked when gold was $20.67 per ounce. This increase in the production of gold has served to materially aid in : carrying the Mayo community through the depression. +@

 Due to the prolonged period Of extremely cold weather prevailing here the flow of water in. the North Fork of Klondike River, from which the North Fork power plant obtained it's water for gener- ating electricity for Dawson and vicinity, became so low in the ditch that for days the company was barely able to operate and yesterday the bottom of the ditch burst at some point still not lo- cated, letting out all water and forcing the North Fork plant to close down for the first time in over twenty years.
 The local plant at Dawson IS being operated to supply the city with electricity until the North Fork plant is in operation again, probably not before next May.

tional Bank Of Grand Forks liable
for immediate payment Of. approxi-

New York, Dec. 2l. - TO Nine
Curie's daughter, Irene Joliot- -Curie
!! and her young husband goes the palm
for 1884 scientific discovery-for find
ing something more astounding thar
the elder Curies' discovery Of radtuu
itself.
The public, which has heard vague.
" Of this discovery under the prosait
name OF artificial radio-activity, doe
not realize that it means 30 per cent
OF the earth and all things In 1t arr
different from anything man even
dreamed before 1884.
Artificial radioactivity is the con-
version OF ordinary inert or stable
chemical substances, into something
different, into materials which give
off powerful rays Of several kinds. II
is obtained by use Of high-power rays
that strike the nuclei Of atoms.
50 Per Cent Of You
The nuclei themselves change
These nuclei are 80 per cent Of al
mass. Ninety-nine per cent, that f.
of you, of your homes, your posses
sions and Of the most distant stars
Thousands Of years ago philosoph-
ers dreamed that there must be some
unseen power In the universe which,
could by q touch change the nature
and the substance Of everything.
But the young Curies have discov-
cred that man himself has this power,
More-they have put the power into
his hands, and the great experiment
IS on In many laboratories.
Linked with the details Of the dis
covery IS the story, now told for per-
haps the first time outside scientific
circles, Of how the young Curiea
caught the scientific ship Of fame
after twice just missing the boat.
Their laboratory was one Of the first
places where strange things began t.
appear when the light metal beryl-
lium was bombarded with powerful
radiation. There was . scintillatiou
which nobody understood. The Curiea
saw it but failed to realize its signi-
ficance.
Ultimate Particles q Matter
Chadwick, In England, recognised
the scintillation aS neutrons, ultimate
particles Of matter never before
known.
Again q little later, the Curies while
watching the trails drawn like sky
writing smoke by electronS diving
through the vapor Of a cloud cham
her, saw some tracks curving Ia the
wrong direction.
These tracks were In Z magnetic
field, in which electrons could moi
curve in the direction seen. The
Curies suspected they were made By
some hitherto unknown kind Of par
ticle. They wrote one Of the foremost
scientists asking him whether these
strange trails could possibly be made
by some foolish-sounding things pre-
dicted by = theory Of Z brilliant
young Englishman, p. A. NJ. Dirac.
The theory said there would Be
"holes" in electrons, or "anti-elec-
trons." The scientist replied It wal
just q theory-not practicable.
