Letters From the People
SUBSCRIPTION is SUGGESTED

Editor The Call: AS man who has
Travelled and in measure been con-
nected with some of the largest exposi-
tions. also being greatly interested in
the future of California. wish to make
the following suggestions touching the
great Panama exposition.
The lack OF money has been the great
drawback and the cause of failure
in many instances where undertakings
like this have been made. Every man,
woman and child in the state OF Cali
forpia is looking to its future and that
future III a measure is theirs The
Panama exposition means the crowning
of the grandest state in the union and
the value of this crewn lies with the
people. We have five years to prepare
this greatest of worlds expositions and
there is not man or woman in Cali
fornia that would not give so cents a
month for the next five years to make
it the crowning feature of the worlds
history. This does not mean that busi-
nessmen and those able can not give
more, but let every man give as he is
able and the exposition will bring it
back tenfold. In this way millions can
be raised and it will not be felt. but
the result to the state will be astound-
ing.
Another point is that of expense to
those coming great distance. Rail-
road rates will take care nf themselves,
but the exorbitant charge Tor accommo-
dations has been the great criticism in
all former cities where expositions have
been held. We are enticing the people
to come and make their home here,
therefore sleeping and eating accommo-
dations should be held practically nor
NAL.
In other words let us keen the penny
far enough. away SO that we may see
the dollars ahead and all join hands to
make the Panama exposition world
renowned and show that California is
where they do things but don't do the
people. Yours for success,
f. j. HERMANS,
San Mateo, January s, 1910.

ception of 1908 the year was the light

construction is concerned, in eight
years.
The record of construction shows
clearly that the railroads built only
such lines as they were compelled to

Army of Doctors in France

1t is not only in Great Britain thas
members of the medical profession have
cause for complaint. as the following
extract from an article in the Revu.
from the pen of Professor Charcot
shows: In 1916, under Louis Philippe
there were 5000 doctors in France. In
1891 the number had reached 15.OOO.
Ten years later it was 1900: in 1905
we find 10000. and at the end Of 1905
$4,000
In the space OF As years, 1876 to 1891
the number had almost doubled. the
yearly increase being 155. In the dee
AIDES following this period the aug
mentation is given at 200. and since
1901 the increase has been much
greater
In five years, from 1901 to 1906. the
number of new diplomas was 5000. or
on an average 500 a year, and IN tha
two years following. namely. 1907 and
1908, the number is 2.0O0 which means
1000 year. And the number or stu
dents at the medical schools and the
universities continues to grow The
number enrolled on January t5. faes
was 7,5o5. and year later 1919 am

RED RIVER CONDITIONS
Considerable Concern at Fergus Falls
Over Outlook for
Winter.

The river at Fergus Falls is re-
ported in the local newspapers to be
steadily falling and the water and
light commission of the city has had
to resort to steam for the operation of
the pumps, the water power being in
adequate. The Journal says condi-
tions aree not at all reassuring, as the
river is always great deal lower in
the winter that It is in the hummer,
and inasmuch as IL is necessary to use
steam now, it begins to look as though
there might be a scarcity of water for
actual consumption during the coming
winter. OF course, everything depends
on conditions from now on, but it will
take a great deal OF rain to raise the
river, and the rain does not seem to
come.
A. S. Anderson Of Fergus Falls has
made the suggestion that it would be
a good plan for the latter city to send
some practical person up to Otter Tail
lake to see Of II would not be possible
to cut ditch or channel so as to bring
water during the winter in case there
is no rain this fall Otter Tail lake is
a big reservoir and the river could feed
from it for a long time. If 1t should
be lowered two or three feet it will
fill up again when the snow melts and
the rains come in the spring, and no
one would be injured 1t is also pos
slble that further supply could be
obtained by tapping other lakes.

Sheriff Winkler. accompanied by j.
e. Tierney the general merchant at
Eckelson N. D., whose store was
burglarized a few days ago, were at

Mr. Tierney also identified the re-
volvers as being the two taken from
his store and also some of the other
property. Mr.. Tierney says that
Smith is a man who was seen about
Eckelson a day or two before the rob-
berry. Smith was taken to the Fargo
jail last night and he will be taken to
