LARGEST NATURAL
BRIDGE IN WORLD.
ITS DISCOVERY BY U. 8. OFFICIALS
PROMISES TO BRING ABOUT
ANOTHER PEARY- COOK
CONTROVERSY.

Washington, Oct. 2.-The general
landoffice through william B. Doug
las, examiner OF surveys, lays claim to
the discovery OF the largest natural
bridge in the world, The discovery it
Is claimed was made by Mr. Douglas
while on surveying expedition for the
government in Utah and in Arizona
last year. Others who accompanied
Douglas on the trip are already laying
claim as @the original discoveries but
like his illustrious colleague DR. Cook,
the general landoffice official is not
worrying over his rivals claims.
Mr.. Douglas report which has just
been received here state that from Oh
jata, Utah, party Of gentlemen from
Utah. who desired to have the beneflt
OF his Indian guide, Mikes Boy ac-
companied him to the bridge. Although
he claims to have been the first white
man to have seen the bridge, others In
the party through the newspapers and
other means have attempted to wrest
the honor from Douglas.
The bridge is said to be of prehistoric
origin and Commissioner bennett al
ready has taken steps to call President
Taft's attention to the discovery and il
feasible have the bridge declared a
national monument. A proclamation
for this purpose is now being drawn
up at the general landoff1ce and will
be submitted to the president for his
approval Immediately upon his return
from the west
According to Mr. Douglas the ma
tural bridge in Utah has q. span of
1923 feet and is s0s.s2 feet high. A
tract OF 100 acres has been surveyed
by government authorities with the
bridge In the center.
This marvellous natural structure"
says Mr.. Douglas in his report. lis in
a deep canyon draining the northwest
slope of the Navajo mountain and is
peculiar, not only because If its excep-
-ional size, but also because it's top is |
n the form of a pronounced arch, other |
known natural bridges in Utah and |
elsewhere being usually level on top.
Some idea OF the tremendous size of |
he bridge may be obtained when. IL |
s remembered that the bridge is
hree- fifths as high as the washington /
monument and spans a vertical canyon
wider than Pennsylvania avenue : In /
Mr.. Douglas also continued his sur /
yey work in Arizona where he made |
of prehistoric ruins in the
Navajo Indian reservation. The two
'uins to occupy most of his attention /
here were found to contain 154 and S5
ooms respectively, but he thinks were
much larger. He thinks that /
hey are not only worth preserving. but /
hould as far as possible be restored. /
i've other ruins were visited and meas
red, but were not deemed worthy of

nut fifty rooms and being IN an ad-
-anced stage Of ob1iteration and chiefly /

U. S. TO RECOGNIZE
"MEDICINE MAN.
BELIEVED THAT THIS STEP BY
GOVERNMENT WILL BE GREAT
THING FOR INDIAN RACE.

Washington, Oct. 2-what probably
will prove to be one OF the longest
steps ever taken by the Indian office
for the Improvement of the Indian race
morally and physically is recognition
of the medicine man" by the interior
department as an agent through whom
much good can be wrought among the
governments red wards in this coun-
try In short the Indian Office instead
of looking upon the aforesaid function
airy as an extremely undesirable citizen,
will encourage the cooperation of the
medicine man with its own physicians
on the various Indian reservations in
has the better of his white rival in the
point of confidence and reputation and
1t is proposed to capitalize this asset
and make for the better of the physical
welfare Of the Indians.
Recently the most influential medi-
cine man at the Tongue river reserva-
ton in Montana, character consider
ed as one Of the brainiest Indians of
the northwest proposed that he act on
a salary in conjunction with the agency
physician in a campaign against tu-
berculosis, q disease particularly rapid
in IT'S spred among Indian tribes when
once firmly lodged
Indian agents have also suggested
that the red doctor be induced il pos
sible to assist the regular physicians
and that they be allowed small SAL
airy for this purpose. The most ignor-
ant element OF the various Indian
tribes, 1t Is said, may be reached in
this way, inasmuch as these people are
ever ready to follow the counsels OF
their time honored tribal doctors. TN
der the new plan, the medicine man
would simply transmit the directions
OF the gentleman with the sheep skin
who formerly had been discredited by
them
Great benefit is expected If the
tribal doctors can be induced TO aid
in this work, especially IL they will aid
In spreading proper ideas OF santa
ton which some Indians are slow to-
accept when recommended by white
men.
