And one Is o love, you kcow;
Asd God put another one In for luck;
If you search you will find where

-But you must have hope, and you

You must love and bo strong

AN ATOM OP
A SINGLE ion, tho atom of electricity, has been isolated
and studied, the ultimate eleetrieal charge has been
accurately measured and the actual structure of the charge
observed for the first time by Robert A. Milikan, associate
professor of physics at the University of Chicago.
Besides capturing an individual ion, the long misunder
stood carrier of electricity, he has viewed in his laboratory
peppery specks of electricity on charged bodies, disproving
the theory that electricity is an "imponderable fluid," and
upholding the indefinite "ionic hypothesis" of Parraday,
who gave his theory to the world in 1S30.
Also he has proved the "kinetic theory," that molecules
of air are in rapid motion, and has measured the "energy of
gaitation" of these molecules.
The actual catching of the single ions was accomplished
by the introduction of a "droplet" of oil between the plates
of a horizontal air condenser. The presence of the ions
became apparent owing to the action of the oil particles.
In explanation of the fundamentals of electricity, Pro
fessor Millikan found it necessary to state that an ion was
an atom, or piece of an atom, a molecule, or a group of mole
cules, which carried the electrical charge. Then he gave
the following statement of some of his results:
"We have succeded in isolating an individual ion and
holding it under observation for an indefinite length of
time an hour or more if desired.
"We have' been able to give every tangible demonstra
tion of the correctness of the view advanced many veal's
ago that an electrical charge is not a homogeneous some
thing 'a strain in the ether,' or an 'imponderable fluid'
spread uniformly over the surface of the charged body,
but that it has a definite, granular structure; consists, in
fact, of a definite number of specks or atoms of electricity,
exactly alike, peppered over the surface of the charged
body. It follows, of course, that an electric current which
is simply a charge in motion consists of a movement of
these atoms of electricit through or over the conducting
bodjr.
"This is not asserting anything about the ultimate na
ture of electricity, but is merely pushing the unknown
down into these ultimate electrical units or atoms. As a
matter of fact, we are pretty certain that all material atoms
contain as constituents these ultimate electrical atoms, and
it is the vogue now to surmise that these electrical atoms
are the ultimate units out of which all matter is built up."
A WORTHLESS
ADVANCE sheets of Fuller's Greater Northwest Year
Book, now in press, a Seattle publication, show that
its compilers pay more attention to Seattle and Washing
ton than to Oregon. The review covers the building, en
gineering, municipal, industrial and railroad work ini
tiated in the territory during the past year. The work
reported under buildings covers all classes from public
buildings to residences; engineering includes telephones,
power and light, public roads, government work, bridges
and irrigation; municipal embraces all lines of city work,
except city buildings; the industrial item covers general
lines of manufacturing.
Ashland's buildings for the past year are given as $93,
000, Medford s as $105,000, both way under the actual
amount expended. There are 36 buildings reported con
structed in Ashland, 35 in Medford, both absurd state
ments. Under the engineering class there were seven en
terprises constructed in Ashland at a cost of $245,000 and
twenty-three m Medford, costing $150,000, and one m
Gold Hill costing $150,000. Medford spent more on this
line than all of the other cities of the county together.
In municipal improvements, Medford spent $350,000,
Ashland $95,000. Medford spent twice this amount. In
industrial enterprises Ashland spent $10,000, Central
Point $15,000, Medford $35,000, all under the actual ex
penditures. In railroads Ashland spent $15,000, Medford $40,000.
As this must include the construction of the Pacific &
Eastern, at a cost of $40,000 a mile, this estimate is absurd.
The Year Book, if the Jackson county report is a fair
example, is totally unreliable and worthless for practical
purposes.
MAKE MEDFORD A JOBBING CENTER.
ACTTON of the interstate commerce commission in re
ducing western tariffs and sustaining the conten
tions of Spokane will result in the establishment of branch
manufacturing and jobbing houses in interior cities,
of local factories and enable them to convert raw materials
Already the effect is apparent in Spokane. Chicago,
St. Paul and Milwaukee manufacturers have announced
their intention of opening branch houses there, while three
companies ol Philadelphia, New York and Boston and
two on the coast will establish distributing houses.
The rate decision will also stimulate the establishment
of local factories and enable them to convert raw ratemials
into finished products, which has hitherto been impossible.
In brief, instead of building up coast terminals at tho
expense of the interior country,' the latter will have more
of a chance, under the revised schedules.
Medford, as well as Spokane; should profit by the pro
posed rates, and the Commercial club's main effort during
the next year should be to secure jobbing branches and
manufacturing plants.
The establishment of terminal rates for Medford will
be followed by branch jobbing houses, which will distribute
to southorn Oregon and northern California from Medford,
instead of from Portland and
