VIZ ASHINGTON-School teachers in

knowledge of medicine as well as
pedagogy. The Alaska school serv-
Ice is the only system of education in
the United States or any Of its pos
sessions which is under the direct
control of the federal bureau OF edu-
cation. In the northwest territory
there are large areas in which the
services OF regular physicians are
not obtainable. 1t often becomes the
duty of the public school teachers not

Baby's Deduction.

A well known clergyman tells this
story to illustrate the early age at
which children learn to notice"
A young father not ordinarily given
to profanity, had slipped into the
habit of using bad words when, as
too frequently happened, his collar re-
fused to fasten easily. One day the
collar-impatiently discarded-fell up
on the floor and later was retrieved by
the baby, just beginning to creep and
talk

Combine the Qualities Of Professions in Alaska

reau of education have together writ
ten a medical handbook which has just
been published and sent to every
school teacher working for the gov
eminent in Alaska. The authors have
taken particular pains to describe the
symptoms and outline the methods OF
treatment Of the common diseases Of
the natives In simple, plain language.
In a word OF instructions to the teach
ers who will receive the book the au-
thor says:
A little learning Is dangerous
thing, and this is especially true In
medicine. Teachers are warned to be
careful In prescribing. 1t is often diff
ficult to make diagnosis of the dis
ease which the patient Is suffering.
To lessen this difficulty symptoms Of
all of the common diseases are thor
oughly described so that the teacher
may have assistance In determining
any case.
Agents of the government have
found that outside Of performing their
educational duties Alaska school
teachers are called on most frequent
ly to assist the natives in solving
their health problems. The new med
ical handbook instructs the school
teachers on every phase Of medical
practice through which 1t might be
possible for the agents of the bureau
Of education to help the natives

Mexican National lines, with %headquart-
ers at Mexico City, passed through
Brownsville yesterday enroute to st.
Louis and Kansas City. While Mr.. Hud-
son was here, General Agent G. L. Mac
manus of the Frisco took up with him
the matter of running the Mexican Ma
tiOnal into Brownsville half an hour
earlier than the time that is now in ef-
feet.
The time Of the arrival of the Mexican
National at present makes it impossible
for the train leaving Brownsville at
3:15 p. m. to pull out on time, and yes
terday this train was delayed nearly an
hour because Of the heavy passenger
travel. It is expected that this matter
will be arranged satisfactorily shortly.

TOURIST HOTEL
PROPOSITION
INDICATIONS POINT STRONGLY
TO EARLY REALIZATION OF
BROWNSVILLE'S HOPE OF SECUR-
ING BIG HOTEL PROJECT.
STRUCTURE PROBABLY WILL
STAND ON ELIZABETH STREET
JUST ABOVE POST OFFICE-TO
/. COST $35O,OOO.

That a proposition looking to the cree
ton of a modern tourist hotel, a rein
forced concrete and fireprOOf structure,
is about to reach a successful issue ap-
pears to be certain from the fact that
within the past few days bids for car
ious parts of the work have been pre-
pared and are to be presented to the pros
pective builders soon. Prominent capital.
lists interested in the plan to erect the
structure, and from the rumOrs that hav
been current it seems the building is to
0e erected at the corner of Tenth and
Elizabeth streets, on property owned by
the Browne estate.
Nothing will be given out at present
regarding the proposed structure, but it
is certain that it will cost not less than
100000 and it is quite probable that the
investment will reach 100000. The plans
nave not yet been prepared, so far as can
be learned, but it is said that the struc-
ture will contain a hundred and fifty
IOoms. 1t is to be furnished in the most
complete and modern style, and it is
planned hat it shall be one of the finest
hotel for its size in Texas or the South.
That conditions for a tourist hotel of
the most modern type have been ripe in
this city for a long time is conceded.
Travellers time and again have queried
citizens as to the reason why this city
has not taken it's place among other cit
les in Texas in the erection of q tourist
hotel to attract both summer and winter
visitors. The climate is considered even
better than that of California and Ger
tainly better than that Of any Of the
coast resorts of Texas or any portion of
the Gulf coast.
The tourist hotel proposition first came
UP a year ago when B. F. Yoakum of the
Frisco proposed to the citizens Of
Brownsville that he would invest $780,
900 if the city would raise an additional
$2OO,OOO for the erection of a tourist hot
el. However, those particularly interested
in the venture dropped apart. and the
matter was allowed to sleep. Talk began
to renew itself when the Mexico travel
began pouring into Brownsville recently,
and the arrows appearing to point in the
direction of a new hotel indicate that
this city will sOon realize one of it's fond.
est hopes.

EXTRA SESSION
Continued from page One.)

Of the membership of the house from 1896
to 435, which became effective March 4,
brought in a larger proportion of new
members than have appeared in any
congress in recent years; and made more
conspicuous the absence of Old-time
leaders, such as former Speaker Cannon,
John Dalzell Of Pennsylvania, Nicholas
Longworth of Ohio, Samuel w. Mccall
of Massachusetts, E. J.. Hill of COnnec-
ticut, and Willim B. Mckinley of
Illinois. AZ
The work before congress today cor
sisted chiefly of organization business.
The senate had completed it's reOrganisa-
ton early in March, during the special
session called to act on President Will
sons appointments. Vice President
Marshall served his : early apprentice
ship as a presiding officer, and the demo-
cratic leaders took charge of the senate,
eelcted officers and chose committees at
that session and were prepared for gen.
eral legislative work today. The organ
~izatiOn of the house was expected to con
sume all Of today's session of that body.
' F rA1 H-a
President Wilson's message will be.
read to both houses shortly after the be-
ginning OF the session tomorrow. In his
call %summOning the extraordinary ses.
sion of congress, the president did not
specify the purpose for which it was to
be convened. Members Of congress who
had talked with the executive expected
that the message, prepared to greet the
new congress, would urge action upon
the tariff as the first duty of the demo
cratic majorities in the two houses; but
would leave the way open for action on
the currency and other pressing matters,
if it decided later to take them up.
Democratic majorities in both house
and senate are considered strong enough
to carry through the program of tariff
revision determined upon by recent con
ferences, in which the president has con
and Senator Simmons, the tariff leaders
of the two bodies. The democrats have
a majority OF 14O in the house, their
mebership Of 2SS being double the com
bined strength Of the republicans and
progressives.
In the senate the democratic strength
is 81, and the combined republican and
progressive strength is As. This margin
is counted on to secure favorable action
on the tariff unless sectional interests of
democratic senators should bring about
a combination against certain features
of the bill, in which several democratic
votes might be swayed from the support
of the measure. .s,J2
Three candidates had been selected to
lead the three parties in the balloting in
the house today for the speakership: but
the reelection of Speaker Clark and
other officers who served the house in the
last sessions was assured. The demo
Gratis had unanimously endorsed Mr..
Clark, the republicans had again named
James r. Mann of Illinois, who has
been republican leader; and the progress
sives had aligned themselves behind
Representative Victor Murdoch of
Kansas.
The progressive members appear for
the first time i'm the new congress as a
separate party in the conduct of house
affairs. Many progressive members,
