Adiutant General Byers has shipped
to the Tama Indian reservation, near
Toledo, two large national guard
hospital tents and a number of cots
with which an improved hospital for
the care of the smallpox patients on
the reservation is to be erected. The
shipment was made as the result of
Investigations made by DR.. A. M.
Linn, member of the state board of
health, and upon the order of Gov
ernor Shaw. DR.. Linn filed with DR..
J. f. Kennedy, secretary of the state
board of health, his report, a type
written document of three pages. DR..
Linn says that help has come to the
Indians at very late date, but that
he believes some lives can be saved.
The worst problem before the state
board of health, he says, is how to
go about the renovation of the
reservation. After conference with
Governor Shaw it was decided that
the state board had no right to burn
the blankets and belongings of the
Indians without taking the matter
up with the department of the inter
Tor and getting authority from them,
so that the Indians might be sup
piled with clean blankets and cloth
spread of the disease.
