NEW MEXICO PLANTS
MEMORIALS FOR HEROES

ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Feb. II
(by Associated Press) As the tale
that is told by the casualty list draws
to a close, the minds of New Mexicans
are turning to the establishment OF
memorials for their soldier and sailor
dead
A pidneer'in this movement is Mrs
1nez Robb, formerly of Las Vegas
now of Centerville, Iowa, who has
promised to donate to the New Mexi-
can Normal School at Las Vegas a
marble group by the Italian artist
Fritziza, in memory of her son, who
died in an army camp while awaiting
orders to proceed to France.
The albuquerque Chamber of Com
merce and the Albuquerque Rotary
Club have named committees to push
forward the plans for soldiers and
sailors park Though the project is
still in it's initial stage, the interest
that is being shown indicates that the
movement will be brought to a sue
cessful conclusion.
Establishment of community houses
as memorials for New Mexico's war
martyrs have been suggested.

PASSING OF PRIMITIVE !
CUSTOMS IN CALIFORNIA

EUREKA, Cal, Feb. II (by Associ-
ated Press) That splendid isolation
that has kept the upper waters of the
klamath river almost as unknown as
broken, and with it's passing the In
dian with his dugout canoe will no
longer race unobseryed by curious
eyes down the long, swirling rapids
of the river. Humboldt county has
entered into partnership with the
federal government whereby ten miles
of the road to be built into the Somes
Bar country, in the northeastern part
of the county. With the opening of
this highway passage will be avail
able into Siskiyou county and auto
mobile voyagers through the Sacra-
mento valley will have wonderful
realm for adventure opened to them.
An almost entire lack of roads has
enabled the Klamath river Indian to
live in primeval surroundings until
the present day, and as result he is
one of the most interesting natives
to be found in California. The wig
wan on the shore, the papoose on the
shoulders of the squaw and the tribal
rituals handed down for generations
still are part of his life.
Among the majestic sweep Of the
klamath there remain many little In
dian settlements where a white man
can bargain much as in the days OF
old
Some knowledge of American his
tory has penetrated into the wilds OF
the region, one of the most bizarre
convictions among the Indians being
that George Washington discovered
America.

INFLUENZA PUTS END
TO DOMESTIC QUARREL

EUREKA, Cal Feb II (by Associ-
ated PresO.-The epidemic of infiu-
enza sweeping over Humboldt county
is proving particularly fatal to the
Indian families along Eel river. Re.
Gently, when food waters inundated
some twenty square miles of territory
near the mouth of the river, an Indian
family, mother and ten children, all
suffering from the influenza, was ma
rooned on small island. Aid finally
was taken to the sufferers by means
of boats, but the mother died shortly
thereafter When relief arrived the
children were scattered in a helpless
condition about the house.

IDAHO TO RECLAIM
LAND FOR SOLDIERS

BOISE, Idaho, Feb. II (by Associ-

operation under favorable laws in the
making may result during the next bi-
ennium in the reclamation of 1,5OO,-
900 acres of Idaho land for the benefit
of returning soldiers and sailors. This
is 100000 acres more than has been
placed under irrigation in the state In
the last decade, and includes practi-
cally all the states remaining irrig-
able undeveloped land.
Three methods of financing at pres
ent regulate the growth of irrigation
projects in Idaho, but changes to
make settlement easier for the return
ing soldier and sailor probably will be
made. Modification of the Carey Act
as administered by the state may be
one of the changes.
Under the district plan, settlers may
organize as a municipal corporation
and float bonds to finance construc
ton of an irrigation system. Some
means of making a ready market for
the bonds probably will be provided.
Private companies are permitted to
file on water, construct works and sell
water stock. Conditions which will
induce these companies to expand are
being sought by agents.
One of the largest OF prospective
projects is the prune unit, of more
than 100000 acres, in Southwestern
Idaho. Surveys have been made for
system to radiate from huge dam
which it is proposed to build in the
Snake river near American Falls.

CAUSES BLIND BABIES
American Red Cross Lays Aff,iction Of
Polish Children to Starved
Mothers.

Warsaw, >Poland.-The abnormal
number of children born blind in this
country during the last three years Is
due mainly to the malnutrition OF
mothers, according to report issued
by the American Red Cross. The in
creasing amount of blindness among
children at birth was thought at first
to herald the advent Of some new
war disease. But investigation by the
American experts proved that the fam
ished condition of the mothers reacted
on the eyesight of their infants.

be effected in transportation costs
when road is lifted from the dirt to
the durable class. This does not take
