OF road dragging.
THE EFFECT OF ROAD DRAGGING
When the road drag is properly

For you. comrade, that's left us and
gone
From this bright world your spirit has
waited
The angels have called you to come.
No more at our campfire we'll see you:
No more viii your glad voice be heard
But we know that again we shall meet
you
With God and our comrades above.
4 tribute of love we are paying
To one of fair Utahs old band,
Who stood by the pioneer people
When the warwhoop rang out Ger the
land.
But now you've been called by your
Maker,
To meet with our comrades above,
We ever will cherish your memory,
With honor, with truth and with love
Sweet peace to thy ashes. old comrade,
May they rest where we place them to-
day,
On this sun-kissed slope of the Rockies,
Where the wild flowers will bloom in
the May.
May honor and worth ever guard them
And memories with love ever bloom
Until the reveille calls of the bugle
For all to arise from the tomb.

the Jennie mine at Gold Springs, was
seriously injured Press Lamb, superin-
tendent of the mine, went to the hoist
house some time shortly after 4 p. IN.
and found Schwartz on the floor uncOn-
sciOus and badly hurt. A glance at the
fiyWheel of the hosting engine sufficed
TO tell the story. Evidently Schwartz, in
the act of oiling the machinery, had his
clothing caught by the extension of the
journal and was unable to eXtricate him
self before being swung around with the
wheel. He was almost nude when dis
covered, his clothing being torn from him.
His jaw was broken. the side of his head
smashed. his arms broken and his body
generally badly bruised.
Today DR.. Flood, the Jennie surgeon,
removed broken pieces of his skull and
several pieces of bone from one of his
arms. Schwartz has not recovered con-
seriousness since the accident and no hopes
are held out for his recovery.
Until a few months ago Schwartz was
in charge Of the OphiT mine and mill
at Stateline. having acted as custodian
of that property ever since il closed
down five years ago.
He has always been held in high es-
TEEN by friends and employers alike who
feel keeniy for him and that the closing
days of the old year should have brought
such a fearful hurt 10 him.

MEDICAL men
HOLD MEETING
Two Great Questions Concern
ing the Profession Being
Discussed in PittSurg.

Pittsburg, Jan. Am important meet
ing of leading medical men and educa-
tors of the country convened here today
in the hall of the Carnegie institute.
Presidents of colleges and universities of
the country, and medical men, both pro-
fessors and practitioners, representing the
American Academy of Medicine. are III
attendance. The meeting here is not the
convention of the Academy, but the work
of this council, as it is termed, will fur
nlsh the leading thoughts for the an
nuai convention OF the American
Academy of Medicine to be held the Sec
questions, probably the most important
from a sociological and educational view
point, will be discussed and the influ-
ence of this meeting carried to nearly
every state in the Union to bear fruit.
First-Realizing that four years in col
lege and four years in d medical school
are too much of mans life to ask in
preparation for his profession, the
Academy of Medicine proposes to so ar
range the college courses and the medl-
cal courses that six years only will be
required.
This will be discussed from the view
point of the college by President Jacob
G. Schurman of Cornell university; Da-
Stanford, Jr., university; James D. Moi
fatt president of Washington and def
ferson college, and other leading educa-
tors.
Second-State medical examination laws.
Each state requires a state medical eX-
animation before a doctor can practice
within its borders. The academy proposes
that a uniform examination be had in
every state and that a doctor who has
passed this examination in one state may
be admitted to practice in any other
state without again taking an examina-
ton.
