accompanied by the last certificate
of registration issued on the car.
Application will not be accepted

will be rigidly enforced this year.
During the past year a number Of
applications were accepted without
the certificate of registration and
with certificate of loss attached
to the application. This will not
be done hereafter as it does not
accomplish the purpose and opens
a medium for duplication of plates
and other errors.
Care should be exercised in max

plate number and year issued and
also name and motor number of the
car should be plainly and correctly
given.
The Department Of Licenses is
prepared to give immediate serv-

certificates OF registration, provid-

the correct information is given.
Car owners are urged to ascertain
at once whether or not they have
this certificate. II for any reason
they do not have the certificate of

REFINANCING
Large Block of Old Bonds is
Received for New Issue; FL
nancial Condition Best in
Many Years

Nineteen thirty-Six has the dis
tinction of being the first year in
the history of the Columbia Irriga-
ton District when water has been
delivered during the month of Mo-
vember. Most irrigation seasons end
on about October fifteenth, but this
season water was delivered until
November 2, over three weeks long
er than usual.
The freezing weather has put a
stop to practically all outside work
of the district, and only the regular
maintenance crew is at work now
constructing new delivery gates for
installation when the ground is in
suitable condition. Ordinarily, clean
ing crews are going full swing at
this time of the fall, but no work
of this nature win be undertaken
Until there is q decided improve
ment In weather.
The refinancing plan Of the dis
trict is slowly nearing completion,
as one large block Of bonds was re-
ceived on Tuesday Of this week
which brings the outstanding bonds
down to the point where RIG will
undoubtedly request the issuance
Of the new bonds. Payment Of the
refinancing loan was made to the
district last March, but issuance Of
the bonds has been delayed pend
ing disposal Of certain Of the old
bonds that had not been brought
into the new plan.
Finances of the district show con-
siderable improvement, and it ap-
pears at this time that the January
LIST financial statement will be the
best ever Issued since the district
was organized In 1913.

Following this number the attrac-

was in the thick Of trouble and
watched from his hotel window while
rebels took carloads of loyalist SYM

system at speeds approximating 10000
kiloneters q second.
A fromula already worked out by
Carnegie Institution astronomers Is
that the speed of outward recession
of q spiral nebula, or island universe,
increases 548 kilometers a second for
each million parsecs, or the distance
which is traversed in three and half
million years by light moving at .
speed Of approximately 10000 miles
q second. The more distant they are
the faster they are moving away.
Following this calculation. the
farthcst known objects in the past
were approximately 7o,00o,0oo parsecs
away. There is also q rough correla-
ton between brightness and distance
Of similar objects. A decrease or halt
magnitude in brightness indicates
about a 30 per cent increase In dis
tanee, making the newly found cluster
about 100000, 900 parsecs away.
Light s2s,ooo,ooe Years Old.
This means that the light received
this year on the Photographic plates
Ut Mount Wilson started from the
star about 325, 100000 years ago. when
the first living creatures were crawling
out of the ooze of the primaeval sea
marshes to conquer the solid earth
The cluster OF nebulae was photo
graphed where it was then. Ever
since 1t has been moving outward
presumably at constantly accelerat-
ing speed.
This group Of great assregations OF
stars probably lies almost at the outer
limits Of space which can be pene-
trated by man until larger telescopes
are in operation.
Observation of another such aggre-
cation only 100000 light years
away In the constellation of Virgo
revealed the supernova, . giant star
undergoing an explosion Of some sort
which at It's brightest was 100000
times brighter than thu sun-the most
stupendous outpouring Of light ever
known In creation.
During the past three years there
have been two such supernovae in
our own galactic system-one in 1884
In the constellation Of Hercules and
one this year in the constellation OF
Laoerta. The latter was the brightest

rapidly for 100 days. Spectrum
studies were made of 1t at various
stages in its development and decline
which may shed considerable light on
the nature Of such star explosions
which still is very obscure to as
tronomers. The explosion. just seen
this year. happened about 10000, 900
years ago, probably long before the
first man appeared on earth. and
must have been one OF the most
sensational events in cosmic history.
The heavy star Is Q very faint OBJ
ject in the heavens, registered on star
catalogues as Ross 627. Spectograms
taken at Mount Wilson show 1t to be
a white dwarf" but one Of the three
faintest yet discovered.
There are only about half dozen
Of these white dwarfs known In the
universe, the best known of which is
the first discovered-Mira, the won
derful, the companion star OF Sirius.
They are extremely small but with
terrific heat. Ordinarily a small star
Is cold star. having radiated away
most of its heat energy through bill
lions Of years. Actually every radiat-
ing object is supposedly losing its
mass, since radiation energy and mass
are interchangeable. Thus the sun Is
losing mass at the rate Of several mil
lion tons minute because of the
heat and light 1t emits, but is so vast
that this loss makes little difference
In the slender span OF . couple OF
billion years Of geological time.
The fact that Q star is small, yet
terrineally hot and with Q trenen-
dous weight calculable from its gravi-
rational effects, indicates that 1t must
represent Q condition Of matter un-
known upon earth. A part Of 1t the
size of . marble would weigh q ton
or mora. This usually Is explained
from the assumption that it consists
entirely Of the nuclei Of atoms.
The faintness Of Ross 627, combined
with the fact that 1t Is . white dwarf,
indicates that 1t Ii ct least ~ heavy
