TO SAVE DYING INDIANS
Movement on to Establish sanitar-
ium Near Cass Lake for Con-
sumptives.
ROCKWELL TELLS OF RAvAGEs

DR.. T. F. Rodwell of Cass Lake,
while in Duluth yesterday told re-
porter that he is much interested in
the bill introduced into congress by
Congressman Miller which provides
q tuberculosis sanitarium to be built
for the Indians.
DR.. ROdwell said:
ID "There are about 1900 Indians
In Minnesota and think I can safe
" say that fully so per cent of them
are afflicted with tuberculosis in one
formaoi another.
81 Statistics OF the disease among
the White. Earth band disclosed that
81 per cent were effected, and SO per
cent for the entire Indian population
OF the state is, in my estimation, none
to high. The disease has obtained a
foothold in the tribe as result of
their lack of knowledge concerning
sanitary matters, and it's develop
ment has been assisted by various
conditions. The idea is to build a
large sanitarium where those who
are durable may be treated, and it
is proposed that there be separate
building for the use Of the incurable
patients. The proposed sanitarium
meets with the approval of the In
dams out of whose money it will be
built, and they are entitled to the
privilege of scientific fight against
the white plague.
1T is proposed to erect the sani-
tarium on the ten-section reserva-
ton close to Cass Lake The natur-
al conditions will be superb"

Thrown Into Icy Water, He Safely
Swims Until Picked Up By
Passing Craft.
FORCED TO PADDLE ASHORE
Rescue Boat Loses Power and
Drenched Victim Has Bad Time
Getting to Land. II.

While in mid lake before noon to-
day, the 26 foot 5000 launch,
"Keemar" owned by Harry Masten,
director of the Bemidji band, was
caught in sudden wind storm and
capsized and sank in 80 feet of
water.
Mr.. Masten, the only passenger,
swan and padded his way to shore.
The launch was insured by V. L.
Ellis and the insurance company will
attempt to raise the boat.
Mr.. Masten is constructing a sum-
mer cottage across the lake at River
side and recently has made almost
daily trips, usually taking Mrs.
Masten with him. Today, almost
for the first time, Mrs. Masten, pro-
videntially, failed to go.
Both Would Have Been Drowned.
Had my wife been along" said
MI. Masten, lit is more than likely
that we both would have drowned
for while l am strong swimmer
myself, my wife cannot swim and
struggling together as we would,
neither would have had much chance
Of getting toSdry'land." - -
1t was about 10 O'Clock this morn
ing when Mr.. Masten started the
engine of the "Keemar" and pointed
her nose across the lake, the water
at the time being as smooth as a
sheet.
Caught Far Out By Wind.
When about half way across the
lake the wind suddenly began to
blow in gusts kicking up a choppy
sea.
at didn't appear to me that there
really could be any special danger"
said Mr.. Masten, although we were
running through some pretty high
waves. Finally one billow, larger
than any of the others, caught the
launch and rolled her over as if she
had been an egg shell.
Jumps Into the Water.
81 jumped into the water from
the opposite side from which she was
turning and swan for some distance.
The top on the launch seemed to
give it buoyancy and it looked as if
she might win her fight against the
wind and water.
''All this time the engine was
'chugging along as smoothly as if
nothing had happened, and she con-
tinued to work until the lake closed
in and carried my boat to the bot
tom. AS she was going down l
grabbed the flag and a camp stool.

From Uncle Sam Work Will Be
Successful.

Forests of Beltrami and all other
counties of northern Minnesota are
to be protected at once under an or
ganization being perfected by Will
liam T. Cox, the new state forester
who was in Bemidji today. This is
Mr.. Cox first official visit in northern
Minnesota since his appointment
under the new forestry law. A for
est ranger is to be appointed to work
out of Bemidji and this is one of the
things which brings Mr.. Cox here
at this time. F.
Will Appoint 100 Men Soon.
ut is my intention to put about
100 men to work guarding the for
ests within a short time, not more
than ten days in the longest" said
Mr.. Cox. TWENTY-FIVE of these men
will be rangers and about Is patrol
men. The average wage to be paid
the rangers will be $50 while we
figure $40 month a fair price for
the patrolmen.
Will Increase Force if Needed.
! eve shall begin work with, this
force, which, deem sufficient SO long
as conditions remain=as they are at
present. The forests are we'll soak
ed and this, together with the green
vegetation, reduces the danger from
fires to minimum. Should there
be dry spell, we would increase the
force of patrolmen. @=
Appropriation None too Large.
81 do not believe the appropria-
ton of $4,000 year is sufficient
to protect the forests during an ex-
ira dry season. With favorable
weather, this amount of money, to-
gether with $4,000 which we can
get from the national government
for protection at the head waters of
navigable rivers meaning the Miss
issippi-will be just about suffi-
Gent"
Will Come Back to Bemidji.
Mr.. Cox will appoint rangers in
Northome, Bemidjl, International
Falls, Thief River Falls, Warroad and
other places. These appointments
as we'll as those of patrolmen, will
be announced as soon as Mr.. Cox
