MANY COURSES
OF INSTRUCTION
STATE SCHOOL FOR DEFECTIVE
YOUTH MOST THOROUGH IN
MANY LINES OF INSTRUCTION
ESTABLISHED TWO YEARS.

State Superintendent S. Belle
Chamberlain left on the boat this
morning, having in her charge two
deaf and dumb children to be placed
in the state school for defective
youth, located at Boise. The children
were Zilla Culp, daughter of Mr..
Culp of Lenore, and Chauncy Wal
lace, son of Mr. Chauncy Wallace of
Nezperce.
THE school has recently been es-
tablished in the state" said Miss
Chamberlain this morning. "This is
only its second year, but we have
been fortunate in securing the best
specialists in the several depart
ments, and aside from the fact that
we have not as yet established de-
partments of Industrial trades we
have a successful school and are
keeping all of our Idaho children at
home. ~ VII .&Y
"The institution is in charge of
James Watson, formerly connected
with the Washington state school at
Vancouver, and as superintendent he
is proving success. In all depart
ments we have been fortunate in Sc
curing the best specialists, and the
work is progressing along approved
| lines.
! In working with the deaf we are
using the vocal methods, and the
children are no longer taught the
sign language, but learn to vocalize
| and develop their organs of speech.
| This is especially true of the younger
children, who readily learn, but 1t is
more difficult for those who are
older.
/ ''The girls are taught sewing and
domestic work The work for the
boys is not so we'll prepared, but we
will have a printing press and equip.
ment put in by the first of the year
for those who have already had some
training In this line Industrial
training in other lines will be put in
as rapidly as the expense can be met
"The institution now has as chill
dren and six instructors, four fol
the deaf and one for the blind. Nea
PIERCE county sends four of the eigh,
that come from the northern coun.
ties of the state"

ENGINEER DIED
TO SAVE TOWN
HEROIC ACTION ON PART OF A
MEXICAN SAVES LIFE AND
PROPERTY BY THE SACRIFICE
OF HIS OWN LIFE.

DOUGLASS, Ari., Nov. 16.-The
death list as the result of the Mac
Dzori explosion last Thursday is now
placed at IA or 15, all Mexicans, BE-
tides John Chisholm, aged 10, who
was riding on the train when the
cSp,1sion occurred.
A train on the narrow gauge rail-
road running to the Pilares mine in
some way caught fire. In the train
were two open cars heavily loaded
vita explosives and the fact that the
concentration and good part of the
town of Nacozari were saved from
destruction was due to the bravery
of the Mexican engineer of the train,
J esus Garcia.
Realizing that to cut out the burn
ing cars and escape would leave the
town to probable destruction. he
called to the rest of the crew to Jump
and started to run the train away
from the town. He had taken 1t
about half mile when the explo-
sion occurred and he was blown to
atoms.
It is reported that another mem
Der of the crew stayed with him and
was killed. The heavy death list is
due to the fact that the explosion
occurred just as the train was pas
sing section house inwhich were
a number of section men.

WATER GAINING
OVER LIQUOR
THIRD OF POPULATION CAN NOT
BUY LIQUOR AT HOME-BIG
PARTIES MAY ADOPT PROHIBI-
TON PLANKS-BE BIG ISSUE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.--Actual
statistics show that 33,60O,000 of
the S0,000,00O inhabitants of the
United States now live in communi-
ties in which the law does not per-
NIT the sale of alcoholic beverages.
In other words, considerably more
than one-third of all the inhabitants
of the country cannot buy liquor in
their neighborhoods at licensed sa-
looms and that in the great majority
of these dry communities, should any
of the inhabitants defy their thirst
| they would run the risk of immediate
penalties and subject to condign
punishment the person from whom
they bought the liquor.
The liquor question cut figure in
every state campaign closed by the
elections of last Tuesday.
Prohibitionists are preparing to
now force upon both great parties
in next years campaign a recogni-
| tion of growing popular sentiment
in their platforms. For this purpose
the executive committee of the ma
tional prohibition party will meet in
Chicago on November 20 to designate
the time and place for holding the
national convention ahead of the re-
publicans and democrats
1t is proclaimed to be the inten-
tion of +he temperance mea to de-
mand of the two great parties the
insertion of plank in their respect
i've platforms favoring the enactment
of laws that will prevent the ship
ment into states that have adopt
ed prohibition. In the coming ses-
sion of congress a bill carrying this
provision will probably be passed. It
was presented in the last session as
the Hepburn-Dolliver act and was
defeated by very narrow margin.

chased by colonizing party and the
financial stringency prevented the
perfection of the plans. Because of
this disappointment, no bids were Of
| fered for that land.
The following is the record of the
sales made yesterday:
