SCIENTIFIC NATIONAL PROGRAM
We have had numerous “national programs” pro
posed by American business men, statesmen, and ec
onomists. Here is one from a scientist which seems to
deserve more than usual attention It was suggested
by Dr. Karl T Compton, president of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science. It covers
the fields of natural resources, agriculture, industry,,
health, welfare, and research.
First, stop unbridled exploitation of our natural
resources and apply sound engineering principles to
their development and conservation.
Second, make a thorough study of overproduction
and low prices and a scientific effort to develop new in
dustrial uses for farm products.
Third, seek industrial prosperity less through gov
ernmental support than through scientific and technical
developments of new products and processes.
Fourth, undertake the prevention of physical and
mental diseases in a big, constructive way.
Fifth, in order to plan intelligently for the future
welfare of the country, begin adequate collection of phy
sical and social information.
Sixth, establish closer co-operation between govern
mental agencies and the non-governmental scientists
and engineers.
This program obviously aims to handle big pro
blems in a big way, combining the facilities of govern
ment and science to apply modern knowledge to the
practical problems of modern life. It should have the
support of every thinking person There is no sense or
safety in merely drifting and trusting to luck and im
proving remedies in a hurry, when we get into ecorjom
ic and social trouble.

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Give me the man who believes in persistent effort.
He has no objective in all that he does, and he keeps
the light of it constantly before him.
No trumpets announce his successive steps from
one vantage point to another. He cares not for praise
nor does he need continuous urging. His urge comes
from within, and directs his course from day to day.
The seeming Mare of spasmodic achievement disturbs
him not. But when the months have rolled by he has
gained ground steadily, and as the years succeed each
other, he becomes what the world is pleased to call an
“outstanding success.”
Some gain success quickly, apparently without
effort, and we are prone to call them “lucky”. Too of
ten the results of such success are lost just as quickly 1
and just as easily. Persistent effort goes on to the end.
It does not rest on laurels gained, for the persistent
worker finds joy only in continued achievement, no
matter how much may already have been gained.
CHEECHACO HILL
DISCOVERER WAS NOT
GREEN AS THOUGHT
Sensational Find at Dawson Was
Made Only After Investiga
tion, Logical Work.
Various stories have been told
about the manner in which the
Cheechaco Hill, famous gold
strike of the Klondyke, was dis
covered. One of the popular tales
is that a "cheechaco" asked some
busy miners where he could find
some gold, and was told to climb
“that hill over there" and he
would find plenty.
But all these stories are wrong,
said O. B. Millett, of Iliamna and
a Seward guest at the Overland
hotel recently, And Mr. Millett
ought to know because it was he
that made the discovery, says a
recent issue of the Seward Gate
way.
Looks For Source
Millett, at that time a seasoned
miner, noted that the Bonanza
creek and Eldorado creek gold
was of different finesse, the Bon
anza gold being of the higher
grade and has search, therefore,
was for the source of Bonanza, as
this gold was not mingled in any
way with' Eldorado. The creeks
were in a junction near a hill,
from which there was a natural
fall to Bonanza. It was on this
hill that Millett concentrated his
search and there he found it.
Alone he sunk a shaft 26 feet
deep, employed a crew and took
out $20,000, sold his ground for
$00,000. The hill yielded half i
million. Now it is nothing but c
gravel heap.
