Turns Boy Over TO
Spokane Authorities

Several days ago the police
picked up a boy about fifteen
years of age who was begging on
the streets. He was turned over
to The sheriG's Office and am ef-
fort was made to locate his par
ents. He gave his name as Daw-
son and said that his parents re-
sided in Spokane and that they
had turned him out of doors and
that for the past few weeks he
had been tramping through Mon
tana.
The sheriff communicated with
the chief of police Of Spokane but
they were unable to locate the
boys parents. Cecil Thompson,
a Spokane detective who has been
spending a few days here, recog-
Inized the boy as William Garland,
whose parents reside on a ranch
outside of Spokane. The boy ad-
mitted that was his name but
persisted in his story that his
parents had turned him away
from home.
His parents we're cOmmunicat-
ed with and it was found that he
had run away from home a num-
her of times and that his parents
had spent hundreds of dollars in
looking him up and getting him
Hack but he would not stay. He
had been before the Spokane
probation officer a number OF
times and had been permitted to
go home but his parents could dc
nothing with him.
w. M. V. Winas. the Spokane
probation officer, instructed the
sheriff here to turn the boy over
to Detective Thompson and h'
will be taken back to SPOKANE

Medical Examination
For Schools
CONSIDERED TO BE VERY IMPORTANT
Other Cities Taking Steps To Have It Adopted
Has Proven of Great Value

The question Of establishing a
system of medical examination,
which was discussed at the last
meeting of the Parent-Teacher
association in this city at which
time a committee was appointed
to bring the matter before the
school board, is receiving a great
deal of attention in other cities
in this vicinity. The Occur d.
Alene Chamber of Commerce has
taken the matter up and appoint
ed a committee to act with the
board of education in introduce
ing the system in the public
schools of that city.
Standpoint has also taken the
matter up as shown by the fol-
lowing article in the Pend Oreille
Review published in that city:
"The first step toward estab-
fishing a system for the medical
examination of all school chill
dren of Standpoint was taken
when the board of education and
the county medical association
met in joint session at the Far
min school building to discuss
the best methods of procedure.
"At this meeting the doctors
cheerfully consented to make all
such examinations free, and it
only remains to work out a sys-
tenn. To that end several OF
those Interested in the work will
open correspondence with cities
where the system has been in
vogue and when sufficient infOr-
nation has been gathered another
meeting will be held to complete
the plans. It is understood that
the intention is to give every
scholar in the city a thorough
physical examination once a year,
making a complete and perma-
nent record of the same. These
examinations may be made in the
presence of the parents or not at
their option, but whther or not,
the parents will be fully informed
as to the true condition of the
children, as found by the physi-
clans.
This move is one which the
board of education has had under
consideration for a long time
and one in fact which no boarC
can long avoid giving attention
TO, as reports from teachers fire.

seased condition of children who

THOMAS FALKNER, in his
book, speaks of the Rio Negro
as the largest river of Pata-
gonia. 1t is not only the larg-
est river of Patagonia but, next to the
La Plata and it's two large tributaries,
which do not, however, belong to Ar
gentina alone, the largest of the Ar
gentine Republic. Roughly speaking,
it drains large triangular piece of
territory lying between SO and AZ de-
grees of latitude south, with the base
following the line of the watershed be-
tween Chile and Argentina and the
apex resting at the mouth of the river
on the Atlantic coast just south of
the fortieth parallel of latitude. Falk-
ner gives quite list of names for this
stream, of which the Indian name of
Curu Leuvu has been retained to this
day in the Spanish translation of Rio
Negro.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
Spaniards neglected the inhospitable
coast of southern Argentina in those
early days of conquest and settlement.
No one could be expected to settle
down in an unattractive and desert
country while there was an unlimited
supply of more desirable lands closer
at hand and to be had only for the
asking or taking. 1t is only when the
good land has become exhausted and

ment that the eyes of the colcnist are
turned toward the less attractive,
says Walter Fischer in the Bulletin of
the Pan-American Union.
The most convenient method of
reaching the valley today is for the
traveller to take the train which leaves
Buenos Aires at 6:37 in the evening,
arriving at Bahia Blanca at 9:25 the
following morning. Leaving Bahia
Blanca again at 9:55 on one of the tri-
weekly trains he reaches Neuquen at
1926 that night; there he passes the
night in a hotel or inn, leaves at $50
in the morning and gets to the end of
the line on a mixed freight and pas
senger train at either 1920 or 1924
noon, according to which of the BIZ

Crossing the Rio Colorado, rather
shallow and rapid stream, the railroad
follows the river for about rs miles
and then strikes southwesterly across
the first narrow place to the Rio
Negro, which it reaches at Choele
Choel. From ChoeIe Choel the trav-
eler follows the valley of the Rio
Negro, which is wider below that point
and continues to narrow as one ap-
proaches Neuquen.
River Is Dark and Swift.
We are more particularly concerned
with that part of the valley extending
eastward one degree of longitude, or
about sixty miles, from the juncture
of the two rivers to the small station
of Chichinales. The valley is narrow
here, not more than ten miles from
bluff to bluff, with the fertile, irrigable
land north of the river about half that
width at it's widest and narrowing
down to almost nothing where the
rivers meet. The Rio Negro itself is a
dark and silent, deep and rapid
stream: a steamer is said to take only
as many hours to make the down trip
as it takes days to ascend the swift
current.

For half an hour he waited, fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, that
