DOCTOR VISITED
indian SCHOOL
GOVERNMENT SPECIALIST HAS
BEEN SPENDING A WEEK AT
BISMARCK INSTITUTION,

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 19.-Dr. w. H.
Harrison, government specialist for
eye, a and throat. has been spending
a week at the indian school. For
some years he has worked in the
Indian service as trachoma specialist,
and states that he finds more than 25
per n Of the Indians afflicted to a
greater or less degree, many of them
being blind, -,
He further states that trachoma. is
~incurable, but it takes long and
careful nursing, even in it's earliest
stages. In caSes of long standing, the
vision is so impaired that it cannot
be restored. He finds one pupil at the
school who, he says, has been af1ict-
ed for many years, and has only about
one-tenth of the normal vision e
manning. A few years treatment will
cure the malady, but it will not re-
store the lost sight. but will preserve
what she now has.
He asserts that his efforts, espec-
tally on the reservations, produces only
unsatisfactory results. He operates
upon and treats for a time, possibly
five hundred to a thousand persons
upon a reservation. Then they return
to their homes to mingIe and come
into close contact with others who are
ALLACNCAB anu " OO ~SALAOuLluCQ ON CON-
dttions which tend to ~aggravate rather
than cure the malady; and the re-
currence (back set) is worse than the
original condition.
He advocates the establishment Of
trachoma, as well .Gs tuberculosis
schools, to be equipped with physi-
clans who are specialists in these
lines, and to furnish them with all
necessary c~onveniences for treatment.
He would make attendance compulsory
and its duration till a permanent cure
is effected. This would be conducted
like n other boarding school, Civ
ing instruction in academic and
industrial lines, each pupil specialize
ing in the line of his qualifications, or
ad~aptability, conditioned by the degree
of vision remaining.
Under the present policy of the
government these diseased children
are excused by the agency physician
from attendance upon a non-reserVa-
ton, and very frequently from attend
ance upo the reservation schools.
They roam about from reservation TO
reservation, spreading disease, not only
among their own people, but among
all others with whom they mingle, and
getting no education save that Of
incidence, shiftlessness. pauperism,
trampism and the crime and shame
that always accompany them, 1t re-
quires no stretch of imagination TO
forsee what class of citizens to expect
as the result of that sort of training.
The doctors plan is a good n and
while he does not claim it to be a
panacea for all ills, it would help, in
part, to solve phraze of the Indian
question as it presents itself today.
And the Indian problem of today,
with it's trachoma, tuberculosis, al
lotments, restrictions and "restric-
lions removed" education, citizenship,
broadcast mind had any conception of
twenty years ago.

Chicago, Dec. 19.-Graduates who are
likely to come under the general sway
of the back-to-the-farm movement
were given a jolt yesterday by DR..
Edward Sparks, president of the Pen
sylvania State college, who delivered
the eighty-fifth c~onvocation address at

DR.. Sparks said the back-tO-the-farm
movement is the most widespread and
the most increasing change eve to oC-

disaster to many professional men or
city bred persons who think it possible
to revive an old homestead farm and
become rich thereby.

culture makes it one of the most

the speaker, and for this a sue

TWO MORE ARTISAN WELLS MAKE HAPPY NEW YEAR
 FOR SAN SIMON

SAN SIMON, Jan. Holiday week was the occasion of the bringing in of two more artesian wells in the San Simon valley not far from the town of San Simon, making seven in all now in the valley within a radius of five miles of the railroad.
 Last Thursday a flow was brought in at the Foxworth well, in which pro position there are interested w. L.. Foxworth of Fl Paso, a wealthy lum- herman, J. c. Tabor of Deming, and number of Dalhart, Tex. capitalists This well was commenced about a year ago and is about 1000 feet deep; it is in section 20, township IA range 31 and about six miles southeast of town. In it's drilling operations the company had not been fortunate, but with remarkable perseverance and op- tirnism it continued until at last sue cess crowned it's efforts. As shown by the results just obtained, all that was necessary to complete the well and secure a. flow was to perforate the casing. On. beginning the perforation water flowed over the top of the cas- ing and when this work; now only commenced, is finished; one of the best wells in the valley is expected.

Clifton, Arizona, January l.
 Clifton, Arizona, January l, 1912. Violation of Law to Forward Explos- ives-in Baggage on Passenger Trains
 Or. in Packages of Household Fur
 niture- by Freight Trains.
 It has come to the attention Of the Bureau of Explosives, American Ra1l- way Association, that many of the us- CTS of explosives, and especially m1n- CTS who are foreigners not conver- sant with the English language or the requirements of the federal law, are in the habit of including packages of ex- plosives in their baggage checked in the usual way on passenger train and in packages of household furni- ture shipped in the usual way by freight.
 The federal law strictly forbids concealed shipment of explosives or the transportation of explosives on passenger trains even when declared. Packages of explosives must be pack ed in their regular shipping contain CTS properly marked and accompanied by shipping orders of the usual form. The penalty provided for violations of the federal laws are severe and may equal a fine not to exceed S2,OOO with or without impriSOnm not to eX- ceed IS months.
 Many violations of the kind deScrlD- ed above have been reported and in all such cases where the evidence was sufficient to warrant conviction prosecutions have been started. Guil- ty parties even when their action was due to ignorance have been fined and imprisoned ignorance is no excuse for a violation of this kind.
 As examples, it. may be stated that miners and other parties have taken kegs of blasting powder and ev- en packages of loose sticks of dyna- mite mixed with blasting caps all wrapped in loose paper packages into the smoking car of passenger trains. In other cases, wash tubs and barrels supposed to contain only household goods have been found to contain loose powder and sticks of dynamite This is matter that affects public safety and this information should be used not only by parties to prevent their own practice from being in vio- lation of the law, but each person should do all in his power to spread this information in the interests of public, safety and to prevent viola tions by all parties.
