Still the Railways Kill EN-.
Quite Inter-Mountain.)

An Interstate Commerce Commission bulletin
railway accidents in the United States during the
year ended last June summarizes totals of 81,2S6
casualties of which 5000 fatal This is an in
crease of 1882 casualties and of IT'S killed. over the
preceding year. The bulletin says:
There have been heavy increases in all of the items
except accidents in car coupling and from striking
against overhead distractions. The number of pas
sengers killed and injured in collisions and dera1-
ments has increased to alarming degree. The
comparative smalness of the increase IN casualties
due to coupling and uncoupllng cars and IN acct
dents to men the tops of the freight cars is I'M
doubedlv due in large measure to the existence and
the care of automatic coupers and to the increased
use of air brakes freight trains The disastrous
record of casualties to passengers in train accidents
40 killed-is due in large to ten accidents
which caused the death of 291 persons
The causes are not difficult to discern. The most
careless people of human life in the world, we are
also the busiest The traffic, passenger and freight
per mile is heavier than the average in Europe and
the mileage almost great that of Europe in the
aggregate But for all this casualties far out
of proportion
The attitude of European governments and press
toward railway accidents is significant Recently the
London subway killed three persons after having
carried 5OOOO0OOOO safely The death of three was
made the subject of rigid investigation by the Of
icers of the and OF caust1c criticism IN the
press The careless British
Here the death of scores is passed over lightly.
A switchman or conductor arraigned and-perhaps
lightly punished, is the beginning and the end OF
prosecution Not until we become careful in
temperament will these frghtful percentages of the
killed and manned be cut down.

to be of ancient Asiatc origin, gradually driven by
Athabascan Indians and Esmos to its present quar-

perhaps the most ancient jewellers of Alaska who
made their way there from Asia.
DR.. Gordon says these people are monogamsts

than one wife, but do SO, They have no laws
at ALL but are governed by patriarchs They are

Dr. Gordon and his helper travelled down the
Koskokwm 1900 miles in small sloop. When
they reached Boring they sailed for Nome, were
caught in equinoctial gales and were adrift three
weeks DR.. Gordon forced to throw his pro-
visions overheard to his specimens. He landed
at Nome nearly dead with hunger and exposure.

A New Alaskan Race.

Dr. George B. Gordon, curator of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania archaeological depart
ment who returned to Philadelphia after six
months expedition through the widest regions of
the Far Northwest, announces the discovery of
new race living along the Arctic coast on the Kos
kokwim River in Alaska. Dr. Gordon brings back
a strange story of these people who had never be-
fore seen a white man. who differ from all other
tribes of Alaskan Indians.
DR. Gordon heard rumors of the race in 1905 and
after innumerabe hardships reached the territory
in which these aborignes live in Adamic simplicity
They are called by the Eskimos "Kushkwagamutes"
and show strong traces of Monaghan ancestry.
Crime and vice are utterly unknown among them
and their religion is natural Panthesm
Dr. Gordon says they know absolutely nothing OF
corruption and degeneracy with which the whites
have infected the Athabascan Indians and Esklmos
Dr. Gordon lived for several months among them
Though they are dying out" DR.. Gordon said,
'they are strong and clean physically and intelligent
They have retained the most ancient characteristics

the breasts of the loon and various species OF ducks
which abound in the river.

other ethnoogists will try to discover whether the
tribe IS of Asiatic origin or whether it emgrated

A Sagebrush Function.

According to information promulgated by L. Bush
Livermore editor of the Pocateo Tribune, it is the
intention of the energetic people of Pocatello and
contiguous territory of the Fort Hall reservation
to devote portion of the year 1908 to sagebrush
festa-an exposition of the products of the reclaimed
wilderness that has responded to the touch of mois
ture and is bringing forth the fruits of earth in
wonderful profusion.
The festival has been conceived in honor of the
passing of the desert plant, which is making its
farewell bow as water invades the domain over
which it has long presided and liberated the latent
impulses of soil teeming with the elements of
vegetable life devoted to the susenance of and
domestic animals
The idea is one that will commend itself to the
people of Idaho, though they may not grieve
sincerely the departure OF the sturdy plant that
has defed the ravages of blstering and the un-
quenched caloric of the everlasting plains.
Upon the reclamation of the Fort Hall reservation,
which is to be the of the festal gathering the
general Government is about to expend appro-
pration of $35OOoO for the diversion of water from
the Snake River and its distribution over the thirsty
acres of future Eden. 1t is in that section of
Idaho that the sage plant grows in its greatest pro-
fusion indicating a superior soil, and the appro
prateness of the location for Idaho sagebrush
fiesta will not be questioned.
Fort Hall reservation is to be given over to white
settlement and cultivation leaving the Indians tracts
of land sufficient for their support and along with
the land rights will go water rights that will trans
form the desolate into a garden of uxurlant
growth The reservation affords of the dimin
shing opportunities for the creation of pleasant
homes with surroundings that will afford much more
than maintenance to industrious families.
When the people assemble at the Pocatello fiesta
next year they will be able to see for themselves
and measure the value of the Governments offerings

Lockport to Lake Joliet The house
also smothered Senator Schmidt's bill,
vesting the ownership of the water
power of the drainage canal in the

inconsistency in first claiming that
the strike would be successfully

the general assembly was without
