shocked. He first took it as
joke and then got serious. He
was so serious that he started to
cry. Then in order to cry better
he took out his false teeth, put
them in a tin box and cried his
heart out. ~
Five years later Lavigne tried
again to be a star. He was
matched with Young Erne, who
was coming to the front in Phil

That was really a sad sight.
There was Lavigne, shaky on
his legs, wild with his punches,
but game as ever and trying his
best. For a few rounds Erne
went easy. Then in about the

just saved Lavigne.

MORE THAN 10000 DEATHS
OF AUTORISTS This YEAR

There will be more than 10000
deaths of autoists in 1923 in the Unit
ed States due to the disrespect for the
laws which the public in many in
stances is showing, according to figu-
res compiled by ]. A. Christie, term
inal superintendent of the Santa Fe
at San Francisco, and published in
the Oakland Tribune.
There were $4,000 deaths in 1922
due to disregard for the law in a ma
jority of cases. said the official,
and from the number that have al
ready been added to the list this
year, 1 feel safe in saying they will
mount to over 10000 by the end of
December.
More than 1900 of these deaths
have been upon the railway rights of
way, and there probably will be 5000
such deaths this year.
"The disregard for the laws of
Safety First, and the state laws
which give the safety element to auto

but the utter disregard for all law in
this country is matter of grave con-

"The Atchison and Topeka Railroad
company, the parent the Territory of
Kansas, February II, 1859 The name
was changed to Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad company by the
Kansas legislature November 24,1863.
on December IL, 1895, the Atchison
Topeka and Santa Fe railway company
was incorporated under the laws of
the state of Kansas, and acquired at
franchises of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad company, the
operation of which it began January
1, 1895.
''The Atchison and Topeka Railroad
company was organized to construct
a railroad from point near Atchison
on the Missouri river to Topeka, and
to a point on the southern or west
ern boundary in the Territory of Kan
sas in the direction of New Mexico,
and branch to point on the south
ern boundary of the Territory of Kan
sas in the direction OF the Gulf of
Mexico. Thefirst milage constructed
was in the year 1859 from Topeka to
Burlingame, distance of 2667 miles.

1878, Kansas City in 1875, Albuquerque
in 1880, Ell Paso in 1881, Needles in
1884, Los Angeles and San Diego in
1885, Denver in 1887, Galveston in
1887, Chicago in 1888, San Francisco

BIC PERCENTAGE OF NAVAJO
INDIANS ATTENDING SCHOOL

At least 1888 Navajo Indians are
now attending government day and
boarding schools at various places,
both on and off the reservation, ac-
cording to reports made recently by
Superintendent Perry, Stacher and
Parquet
Comparing the number attending
school with the total population
of the Navajo tribe, which is said to
be about 10000, one Navajo out of
every eight is now receiving an edu-
cation. Estimating that as many as
are now n school have r d at least
partial education during 10 past 20
years, one out of every four Navajo
Indians is either educated to some
degree Or is now in School This is
remarkable progress for one genera
tion.
In 1908, when Superintendent Per-
ry took charge of government school
IN the Navajo country, there were less
than $50 Navajos in schools, includ-
ing government and private institu-
tionS.
The Theodore Roosevelt Indian
school, located at Fort Apache, Ma
vajo county, in the White Mountains.
was opened last September and is
having remarkable growth At
present 2S0 pupils are enrolled at the
institution, and plans are underway
whereby it will eventually accom-
modate about 1000 students
The school is the former old Fort
Apache, which was abandoned some
months ago as military post, and
has been transformed into a Navajo
| indian school. From the great pro
gress being made, within little more
than two months, it is evident that
the institution is going to be one of
the principal Indian schools of the
country within short time.
Principal schools with the number
of Navajo Indians attending them
are given below. In no instance are
there any less than the figures quot
ed. Some Of the schools, however.

HAD TO LEAVE SCHOOL

Miss Lila Byram of Conover, a
student at the high school, was fore
ed to give up her studies with the
close of the present semester on ac-
count Of eye trouble. Miss Byram had
been staying at the P. D. Walsh home
working her way through school and
was well along toward graduation, be
ing a hard working student. Her eye
trouble forces her to give up the
work and immediate steps must be
taken to improve the trouble which is
of long standing. Classmates and
Eagle River friends are sorry to learn
that she cannot complete her school
work as she is painstaking and de-
serving girl. The instance should be
deciding factor in the decision of
all parents to not neglect their child
ren's eyes. With the county nurse
making regular examinations of all
school children in the county It gives
them chance to discover any defects
in vision, and immediate attention to
minor defects may be the means of
permitting child to complete his
or her education in future years Miss
Byram expects to resume her studies
another year after taking treatment
for her eyes.
