0. ks MEASURES FOR
DISABLED VETERANS

Recommendations of the senate com
nittec Investigating affairs of the vet
Grams bureau reflect practically every
Recommendation of the fifth annual
convention of the American Legion in
regard to care of disabled veterans
This Is shown by the announcements
OF the committee. which indicate that
on the major points sought by the Le
gion rehabilitation committee legisla-
tive recommendation will be offered
to congress for action.
First of the recommendations to co.
incide with the Legion's views Is
further decentralization of bureau af.
fairs seen in the plan suggested for es-
tablishment Of rating boards In every
| district and subdistrict for the pur-
pose of hearing claimants in person.
This has long been u Legion conten-
tion.
Another of the Legion's recsmmen-
dationS suggested In the committee re-
port is that disability OF service origin.
short OF permanent disability, be no
bar to reinstatement Of war risk in
surance.
Legion suggestions further Included
in the report are increase of pay for
disabled veterans with children, to
widows of veterans with children, and
double compensation for women who
lost son and husband or two sons
In service: allowance for housekeep-
ers for totally helpless veterans; retro
active reduction in compensation be
forbidden except in case of fraud: In.
crease in burial expenses for INDECENT
veterans; opening OF hospitals to vet
Grams OF NIL American campaigns; sus-
pension of compensation payments to
guardians of insane veterans who fail
to render proper accounting of funds !;
and that disputed claims on war risk
insurance may be taken to the courts
for judgment.
Among the most important Of the
| suggestions made which are in line
with the Legion policy or rehnbillta-
tlOn, is that II tuberculosis or mental
diseases developed within three years
after discharge. these shall be pre-.
sumed to be OF service origin. which
opens the way to compensation for
thousands OF veterans; and the Legion
further suggests that the hospitals he
thrown open to all veterans suffering
from mental disease or tuberculosis
without demanding proof that such
disease was of service origin.
Directions OF the Legion's fight for
care OF the disabled veteran Is In
charge OF the national rehabilitation
committee, which maintains II lnrgc
force in the national capital. with an
active service burcnu in touch with
the central bureau office and Unison
ofiicials and committees In every dis
trict and subdlstrict.

VALDEZ PIONEER
 UNIQUE CITIZEN

The death of Adam Swan, pioneer merchant, business man, and founder of Valdez, marks the passing of one of the most unique characters Of the Northland, and one who probably had greater faith in it's ultimate fu- ture than any man we have ever met
 MT. Swan came to America when raw, unsophisticated boy, unable to read and write the English language, but full of enterprise and faith in the country of his adoption. His strug- gles at this time to get by, were trag- ical. First one job after another was tried, the young immigrant gradually working west toward the coast. In Chicago he secured a job in one Of the large hotels as pot boy, and Ill time was promoted to second cook.
 From Chicago to Peoria and from the latter place to Colorado Springs, he drifted, with hope for advance ment ever in his mind, and on the lookout for the country of his dreams.
 In Colorado Springs MT. Swan be- came chef for one of the large hotels of the city, and accumulated consid- erable experience and a greater in- sight into American customs. At this

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT
 METHOD ALL WRONG, CLAIM

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 1S.-Re- newed recommendations for transfer ring prohibition enforcement to the department of justice or creating a new department for it directly under the president were made by Clar- ence True Wilson, general secretary of the Methodist Episcopal board of temperance, prohibition and public morals here today.
 He had yet to meet, he said, the first temperance man in the ministry or the laiety who was satisfied with the way the prohibition law was be- ing enforced"
 Among the difficulties Wilson emu merated was the use of the words Intoxicating liquor" in the constitu- tional amendment. It was indefinite and difficult of definition, he said and he added that had the words alcoholic beverage" been used it would have saved years of litigation
 Tt was a psychological slip" said Dr. Wilson, flor us to put the fed real unit of enforcement under the treasury rather than under the de- partment of justice"

MEXICAN BOUNDARY
 DISPUTE WILL BE
 SETTLED SHORTLY
CL AIM RICHEST PART FL PASO BELONGS TO SOUTHERN
 REPUBLIC

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 19-The long-standing boundary dispute be- tween the United States and Mexico gives promise of being settled, and negotiations to this end have been opened, it has been learned.
 All along the Rio Grande, that is, frequently a creek and just as often not quite that, there are bits of territory which are alternately claimed by both republics. The sur vey originally was so faulty that no one can say precisely where the boundary is, and most of the records have either been misplaced or de stroyed. To settle it, it is proposed to run a new survey under the joint supervision of the two governments, agree on the survey and then con- struct blukheads and markers which will keep the unruly rivers within it's bed, when it goes on rampage after heavy rains, as it sometimes does
 One of the most striking instances is that of Fl Paso, Texas. Years ago the river changed it's course and added quite large slice of territory to the then crossroads COW town. Since then one of the most wealthy sections of the city has been built on this land. There is no doubt in the opinion of American officials that this part of Fl Paso actually belongs to Mexico, according to the original survey and the old course of the river whic hwas considered the boundary. Some adjustment will

Swan took up land, built cabin, and later entered into the restaurant busi- ness. He acquired considerable prop erty and became man of prominence, respected and esteemed. The collapse of the Renry Derr Reynolds railroad boom swept away most of his prop erty, this shrewd promoter finding in Mr. Swans optimism, fruit ready for the picking.
 Of late years Mr. Swan conducted the Emporium, and was building up to competency when illness caused him to go outside to the home of his son John. Here he remained until death removed one of the kindliest and sweetest characters it has ever been our good fortune to know.
 MT. Swan was answering in his loyalty to Valdez, being intensely in- terested in anything which had to do with her development. He was vol luminous writer on the subject, and timism in the future. He held many offices in the town, and spent con- siderable money in advertising mat ter to send to prospective settlers.
 Adam will be missed by the young sters and elders of Valdez. It is to be hoped that his passing was as pa tient and uncomplaining as was his life; that he has gone to that bourne where prosperity abounds and optim- ism prevails.

time he was timid, unassertive and very homesick.
 Spending some time in Colorado Springs, MT. Swan accumulated a snug sum, and lured to San Francisco, engaged in the restaurant business. Here he did fairly we'll until oppo- sition of the strong arm variety set up when one night he was put out of business by a gang of toughs, backed by his opponent and a crooked politi- cal system, as MT. Swan was too hon. est and too green to pay for protec- tion. This was in 1897.
 In 1898 rumors of gold penetrated to San Francisco, and MT. Swan in company with number of others, bought stock in the La Ninfia, a small fore and aft schooner, and after out fitting her with provisions, or rather paying the promoter of the scheme S250 per man to outfit with, the party sailed for where Cordova now stands.
 The promoter also in charge of the party, claimed to have travelled ex- tensively in Alaska and said that he had been on a revenue cutter which sailed up the Copper river to where the natives were wearing gold orna- ments, and fortunes could be washed out of the sands. So little was known regarding Alaska, that any kind of story received credit, and the promo ter found many victims.
 After many weeks, beaten and bat tered by the heavy gales, and anxious for sight of the Fl Dorado, the party reached Montague Island, and sailing around through the narrows entered the shadows at the mouth of the riv- CT. Here the party received the first insight into the character of the man they had trusted with their money and practically with their lives. Instead of being able to sail up the broad, placid river described by the promo ter they could not get within several miles of the mouth on account of sandbars and shoals. The anxious gold seekers marked time for a few weeks, then demanded that they be shown the paystreak. In the mean time investigation showed that the promoter had swindled them in their stores, their meats being rotten and the bulk of their supplies absolutely useless. The crowd advanced upon the promoter to hang him, and he tainted. The doctor belonging to the party took the man into his cabin and barring the door threatened to shoot any man who tried to gain entrance. In a pitiable state of terror the pro- mOter handed over all the money in his possession to his victims and was allowed to take the next ship back to San Francisco.
 The sails on the La Ninfia were cut up and made into bags to hold SUD- plies, and part of the outfit went up the Copper River, while MT. Swan, at the head of the remainder took small boat and sailed up Prince William Sound as far as what is now known as Swanport, establishing camp there. MT. Swan stated that at this time there was no Valdez, and the only building was trading post or store near the mouth of Lowe river. MT.

 Another instance is one that is causing the customs officials of both countries a great deal of trouble and nue. It is so-called island that the river has made. The river at one time ran around a bend to the north It changed it's course to the south for about a mile and then re- joined the former river bed. The ownership of this island" for there is frequently no water in the river at this point has never been deter mined Smugglers of every kind make their headquarters here. They ship countless taxable articles into Mexico and into the United States they ship everything from Orientals and drugs to liquor. It's present status is a "no-man s-land" for GUS toms officers, because they can have no assurance of authority. If case comes up in Texas it is Mexico, or if in Mexico it is the United States
 Both governments are anxious to have the boundary fixed for all time and commissions to do so will be named as soon as the present nego- tiations are completed.
