January 2S. and started immediately TO inter
view several citizens to whom had letters OF IN
Hoduction and who were SAID 20 be familiar
With conditions in the school.
The first result of these interviews was the
information that the school was CLOSED cor

comparatively little of what was going on there
discovered later as mentioned above that
DR. W l., Kendall, superintendent of the insti-
tuition and DR.. A. L. McInnis his assistant, were
engaged in private practice in Enid-and that
the rumor was that both spent far more of their
time in town than at the school.
discovered, too, that Mrs G.. p. WaShburn,
an Enid woman. had spent five months in the
school, and that Mrs. Edna Wallace, also of
Enid, had spent three days at the school as an
employc. She resigned, she said, when she
found that the inmates were being neglected,
From them got much preliminary information
relating to the school.
Mrs Washburn told me that she still had
some clothing at the school and that she would
like to accompany me there. Accordingly
about 7.30 o'clock IN the evening we left to-
gether in an automobile. Mrs Washburn in
tended to remain all night, but when she found
that the attendant who was formerly her room

|. Dr. Kendall, according to the tes-
timony of attendants and residents of Enid,
spends more time at his practice in Enid
than at the Institute for the Feeble Minded,
although .he receives a salary of $1,000
year from the state.
z. That, according to employees, he
visits wards and buildings so infrequently
that he does not know of conditions there,
and that the school practically runs

ant, also spends a considerable part Of his
time in town attending to private practice.

that the air in the rooms in which they
sleep is so filled with stiflina heat from

bodies that il is positively nauseating.
7. That although there are rs grown
male inmates in the building, there il not
a single male attendant. Female attendants
are not permitted to go into the wards oc-

the inmates thus are without attention.

need, to the Columbia river, so that
we will not be at a disadvantage in
the matter of transportation costs
with respect to other points that will
use the Alaska coal?
While it is true that the congress
sional appropriation has ben made,
and while, generally, the time pre-
dicted for the completion of such
projects is understated, and may be
so in this case, yet we must know
in the very nature of things that at
the longest it will be but few
years before the road will be built
and the wealth it unlocks to the
coast and the rest of the country
will be available for those who may
be prepared to go and get it.
We might look forward and we
probably may find it profitable to
do that very thing, to the establish
ment of barge lines for the hand
ling of coal between Alaska tide
water and this port. Two years, or
let us say three years, are not long
in passing, and meanwhile we can
only gain by a practical study of
what the opening of the Alaska
railroad is going to mean to US,
and especially in this matter of coal.
If the benfts, or any portion of
them, are to be ours, it will be so
only by our reaching after them.
We had best begin to consider how
that may be done as soon as they
are available.

TRAVELLER FINDS
NO PLEASURE IN
MEXICAN Visit

Ell PASO. = Motoring through
Northern Mexico is no pleasure
jaunt under present conditions, an
American business man with large
interests in Mexico declared upon
his return here recently after being
held up by Villas men, arrested,
thrown into Jail, and finally released
on bond by the Carranza govern
ment officials.
Starting from Ell Paso with an
other American in roadster, the
American was held up by Villas
men near San Lorenzo. They es-
capped by speeding their car and
driving through the Villa lines. This
occurred after Villa had been driven
from Juarez by American troops,
but, the American said, the men he
encountered had been left behind
to guard Villas wounded and had
not learned what had happened at
Juarc.::
Reaching Chihuahua City, the
American said, he was threatened
by the Carranza officials because Of
a business transaction he had had
with a Mexican who had made false
representations to the officials. Aft
er hiding from the police and escap-
ing twice, he was finally arrested at
Santa Rosalia, placed in Jail there,
and, upon his return to Chihuahua
City, was again arrested. He was
forced to deposit heavy bond for
his release pending a hearing of the
charges against him. He said these
were only trumped up against him,
since he had them investigated by
civil court and his claims upheld
On his trip through the North,
during which he was away more
than a month and covered more
than 1900 miles in his automobile,
the American said, he found condi-
tons very chaotic. He said COM
manders of federal forces were max
ing forced loans and selling prop
erty.

SHARKS AND SHOES.

Verging, as we seem to be, to
ward the day of the $40 shoe, there
comes talk of skinning the sharf
and using his hide as a remedia
agent in this prospectively distress
ing situation.
We have long suspected that there
was a shark in the shoe business
remarks the Juneau Dispatch, but
that is not the shark to be skinned.
He may not exist. We are not
quite sure of it. And if he does
exist, we have hopes that the skin
ming of the other shark, known to
the scientist as the elasmo- branch
fish of the order of salachii, will
help to put him out of business.
At all events, as an item of in
dustrial news, the tentative propo-
sition of manufacturing shoes out of
shark skins is an interesting one.
Stories of fabulous hide prices are
going the rounds. Green calf skins
are climbing toward a dollar a
pound. Horse hides in the whole
sale market are bringing SIS and
up, and, generally speaking, we see
the foundation laid for the $40
shoe, whether propaganda or eco
nomic we know not.
A shark to the rescue is well
come slogan, provided the shark will
do the business. And if not the
shark, the skin of any dogfsh will
do as well, or possibly the skin OF
the common seal or porpoise may
do even better. How well suited
the texture of these marine hides
may be for the manufacture of shoe
leather is yet to be determined, but
with the price of shoes soaring to-
ward $40 we are not disposed to be
fussy.

THE ALASKA RAILROAD AND
CHEAPER COAL.

1t is predicted that if Congress,
during this session, will make the
necessary appropriation, the Alaska
railroad will be completed in the
autumn of 1922 For the Pacific
coast generally, and particularly for
the Pacific Northwest, this is an i'm
portant prediction, if true.
The potential benefits to follow
the completion and result from the
operation of the Alaska railroad,
says the Portland Telegram, are
hardly clear to the mind of any
except those who are familiar with
the Alaska country that the railroad
traverses; but that cheaper coal for
the Pacific coast is to be one of
those benefits and the most imme-
diately to be expected goes without
question.
We shall need that coal here in
Oregon. We shall need it in large
bulk here on the Columbia river.
The local consumption will be but
a small percentage of our need, for
we are now in the process of port
building and commerce getting and
we must soon be in the process OF
industrial development that will be
accelerated in great degree by cheap
coal.
Is it not good business for Column
bia river port, industrial and com
mercial interests to take a practical
look at the Alaska situation as il
will develop on the completion OF
this railroad? Why should we moi
begin to consider in a business way
how we are going to bring thai
coal, or the share of it we will

LID ON 2.75 BEER PUT
ON TIGHT IN JERSEY
Sad Edict From u. S. Marshal
Starts Rush to Fill Up.

New Jerseyites who for the last nine
teen days have been slalting their thirst
upon 2.76 beer were plunged into gloom
yesterday Afternoon. Even that feeble
substitute for the old stuff is to go, ac-
cording to advices received by Albert
Bollschweiller, United States Marshal Of
Newark.
The marshal let the sad news ring
through the State during the day that
Attorney-General Palmer had ordered
the arrest of all persons selling the war
time connection. He said that orders
had been received by agents OF tho De.
partment OF Justice to get on the trail
or the foaminE stein at once and put II
out OF business altogether.
The Job Of those Department Of Justice
men Is not altogether bad, according to
the marshal. They are merely to go
about imbibing the stun with the 2%
per cent wickedness, after which they
are to swear out warrants which tho
marshars deputies are to serve. Tho
deputies therefore, have what Is COM
monty called "the raw end of the deal"
Just when the Department OF Justice
men will get started upon this crusade is
not known. 30 that many Jerseyites
were set by the news to drinking enor-
nous quantities, fearful lest It be their
last chance.
For brief spell the New Jersey
clouds cast gloom over New York city.
where It was greatly feared that a SIM
liar edict might have been received.
William NJ. Offiey. Superintendent of the
Department of Justice. said, however.
that no such cruel orders have been re-
ceived here, and that they are not ex-
pected. Francis G. Caffey, United States
Attorney, said the same thing. so Man
hattan's 2.75 tipple will probably con-
tinue for a while at least without inter-
ference.

ARRESTED FOR THEFT
OF $4,000 GOLD
G. E. Sparrow Had Been at
BuIbach SmeIter.

In connection with the theft of $4,000
in gold from the plant of the Balbach
Smelling and Refining Company in New
ark. Clarence y. Sparrow of 1888 Stuy-
vesant avenue. Irvington. Is locked UP
at Newark police headquarters. He was
taken into custody yesterday by Detec-
tives OGara and Corbitt of Newark on
complaint of Francis r. Smith. a detsc-
tive employed by the company.
While the company claims to have lost
$4,000 in gold between December !
last and June /. Sparrow Is accused of
taking $4,000 worth in the complaint
Sparrows arrest was brought about
through information the detectives re-
ceived at the United States Assay ONCE
in New York city to tho effect that a
man from Newark was selling large
quantities OF gold in bulk
When the detectives attempted TO
learn where the man obtained the metal
they learned, it Is charged. he was a
friend of Sparrow, and following further
investigation informed the Balbach COM
pany and the latter was discharged. 1t
also was said by the detectives that
Sparrow suddenly became rich since Tho
latter part of last year. They said he
bought a new home. motor car. en-
Gagged Chauffeur and Lived in better
style thai he did before.
Further investigation by the detectives.
they said, revealed that Sparrow and
the man who was selling the gold In New
York had frequent meetings during the
time that the thefts occurred at the
Balbach plant. The seller Of the gold. 81
is said also displayed signs Of having
much money.
