A Message To The Voters of
the County From ]. c. Smith
TO THE VOTERS OF
DICKINSON COUNTY:
My Friends:

In advance of my seeing you
personally about your support
again for the office which l now
hold, permit me to say in this
way, that since you have honored
me so generously with your votes
in the past, to the exclusion of
other good men, and you know
ing so we'll the manner in which
| have endeavored to serve your
best inerest, / feel it unnecessary
that | should hurry to you in per-
son to solicit your support, there
by giving to my opponent ample
time to show to you such qualifi-
cations and experience he may
have to successfully fulfill the
duties of the office to which we
aspire, which qualifications | sub
nit, is the all-important question
for you to decide before casting
your votes in the coming election
for this office.
My record and manner of con-
duct of the duties of this office,
which by your support | have helo
for several terms, is an open book
for your inspection and if upon
this record you should not find
sufficient merit to justify your
further support and should not
feel that it is to the best interest
of the taxpayers and citizens of
the county for me to serve you
for another term I am not entitled
to your support.
Personally | have nothing but
kind words for my opponent in
this contest, | am his personal
friend, and if after we have gone
through the campaign, and |
should be elected again, | will have
treated him in such way that |
shall expect of him to do as other
opponents of mine have done in
the past, to congratulate me and

the Minnesota law in conformity
with the federal act.
Members of the senate from the
rural communities lined up al

With most of the. past weeks slide debris cleared away and the frame of new snowshed rising swiftly, tramming of Alaska Ju- neau mine ore will begin anew to- morrow morning after the second shutdown of the week, caused by slides on the Mount Roberts slope above the City Wharf
 Tomorrow mornings day shift will go on the job at o'clock, As slgtant General Superintendent of the Alaska uJneau J. A. Williams, announced this afternoon.
 City street crews successfully routed water streaming across South Franklin Street this morn ing into nearby drain with the aid of sand bags, and with clear ing skies and lowering tempera- lures, South Franklin Street prop erty owners and residents breathed more easily.
 Damage estimates for the two major slides of the week have not been officially made, but insofar as municipal property, resulted only in muddied basements and evacua- ton of a few residents in the slide area. Mondays slide shut down Alaska Juneau milling operations for nearly 48 hours. while yester- days early morning slide covering haulage tracks for the second time will raise the weeks loss of oper- ating time for the mill to the vi- cinity of 100 hours by the time work is resumed tomorrow morn ing.
 Meanwhile, South Franklin Street residents and property owners were preparing to petition Government aid in cleaning up muddied areas and taking precautions against further slide damages.

Cooking! Sea Urthin Makes Him Twins
Fly HOWARD W. BLAKELEE
 AP Science Editor

WOODS HOLE, Mass, Nov B. Twins, triplets and quadruplets are made at will in sea urchins by a new method at the Marine Biologi- cal laboratories here.
 The story, which looks like a combination of witchcraft and magic is told in the Collecting Net; journal of this summer eapi- tai of American biology
 Sea urchins are small, she'll backed animals that live in the sand. They grow, like babies, cows or dogs, from a single. fer tilized "ceil" or egg. sfs
 pr. Ethel Browne Harvey has found sea water brew which turns one of them into a crowd She boils the sea water, until it is half evaporated In this water, for five or ten minutes, she places the embryonic sea urchin just at the moment after it's original, sin gle cell has made it's first di- vision, which forms two cells
 Each of the two then grows into a sea urchin - thereby making twins of one individual To get quadruplets she waits until the original cell has divided twice, into four. Then the bath gives her four urchins To get triplets re- quires a little luck, two of the four cells becoming urchins, while the other two fuse to form only one individual.
 If scientists could find a way to use this on livestock, it would produce another farm revolution.
