Secretary Work Names Colorado

Secretary of the Interior hubert
Work Wednesday named the Colorado
river commission as follows: Senator
Charles w. Waterman, Colorado;
james r. Garfield former secretary
of the interior; Governor Frank G.
Emerson, Wyoming; James G.,
vada, and Professor William f. Du-
rand of Stanford university.
In letter addressed to the COM
mission, he asked that the newly
appointed members meet him and Dt.
Elwood Mead, United States com
missioner of reclamation, in Yuma,
Ariz., April 10. The secretary ex-
pressed desire TO have present
Senator Johnson and Representative

years professor IN mechanical en-
gineering at Stanford university. He
was also member Of the presidents s

Secretary Works letter to the COM
mission reads, IN part, as follows:
1t is expected that the commits

will move the general program for

"It appears to me that this gem

for an intelligent meeting Of minds
and will simplify a study of the data
already collected, which will be sub

What is desired is q report which

OuiH SaUed Dying Man

This is a story of how mans life
was saved with a tallow candle and q
quill from a goose.
Surgeons of New Orleans, La, re-
Gently were asked by writer to give
their ideas on what they considered
the greatest operations. The most re-
Rudolph Matas, of Tulane University,
president of the American College Of
Surgeons and who recently was
awarded the Bigelow medal for dis
tinguished surgical work.
"It happened a little way upriver
from New Orleans" DR.. Matas' story
began. "One day country doctor
and surgeon, a friend of mine, was
called from town on an emergency
case. He was driven by husky
chauffeur to lumber camp.
There lay a huge lumberman who
had suffered a severe cut with a lum-
berman's axe. The man had bled so
terribly that he was almost bloodless.
Heart Racing
"His heart, without blood to pump
was racing so fast that separate beats
could hardly be distinguished. Blood
TRANSMISSION instantly was the only
chance to save that mans life.
ssBut there they were, miles out in
a lonely pine forest. No hospital, no
paraphernalia, no nurses, none of the
tools necessary to perform a success
full blood TRANSMISSION were at hand 1t
seemed folly even to think Of attempt
ing TRANSMISSION.
"Yet, that is. exactly what the sur
II xrrIo coll
of the miracles of modern medicine.
"There was no time for asepsis or
sterility. There was no time for typ
ing the blood. You know there are
four types of blood. and if you give a
man the wrong kind you can kill him.
AT Deaths Door
ssBut this man was near death. 1t
was the time for long chances.
'"The country doctor turned to his
chauffeur and asked him If he would
be willing to give his blood to save
this mans life. The chauffeur was
ready. The doctor stood a moment in
thought.
'Then, across the clearing in front
of him, waddled q fat goose.
" "sGet me that goose, quick, the doc
tor ordered. Shoot it if you have to,
but get the goose
"They got the goose.
"Have you tallow candle p"
aThey had one.
"ordered to melt the candle as
quickly as possible they placed it over
the kettle in the camp mess shack.
"The doctor pulled the longest,
strongest quill he could find from the
goose. He trimmed off the feathers,
slashed the quill open at each end. He
would use that for a tube to convey
the blood.

Much space was devoted to the
highway departments creditors, named
by the governor as constituting an
emergency. Briefly, the resolution
stated that it was the judgment of
The legislature that these debts shall
be liauidated." Action also was prom
ised in the regular session to enable
this state to receive benefits of the
federal Purnell act,
Answering the chief executives
proclamation upon the subject of leg
islation affecting the state water code,
particularly pertaining to the Colorado
river situation, the resolution said
this is an unfinished item of business
and that s'the states interests in the
Colorado river are indeed in imminent
jeopardy, but not by reason at this
time, of the legislation in question. A
for greater jeopardy exists in the abb
sence Of steps TO make effective the
provisions of house bill 15, creating a
Colorado river commission to bring
about agreements with the states OF
the Colorado river basin. "
Finally, the resolution stated in re-
gard to the proposed creation OF coli
ony for mentally defective children,
that Eff the matter is to receive fur
ther attention at the hands of the
present legislature, such attention will
properly take the form of action upon
the executive veto, upon the reconven-
ing of the legislature in special ses-
sion.

unfastened front window into T. A.
Riordan's office. Had a side window
been entered there might have been
footprints. AS it was. there remained
no discoverable clue to the burglars
identity.
The burglar evidently worked in
the dark, for the shades in the big
room from which he entered the vault
had not been drawn. There are two
watchneii at the mill, each with a
different beat, and neither saw any
| light in the building nor heard the
man at work.
The officers believe the man was
an expert, working with high-class
tools. A sharp lookout is being kept,
numerous suspicious characters have
been questioned, and several strang-
ers are under quiet surveillance, but
SO far the officers have not discovered
anything that might have a bearing
| on the case.
Mr.. Koch was in the office late Sun
day afternoon, and everything was
| all right then, proving that the bur-
| glary was Sunday night II tprobably
was after midnight, for just before
midnight Mr.. Koch returned home in
his car and at that time noticed moth
ling suspicious. His home il only a
lhalf block from the office.
A peculiar incident, and which very
likely wasn't accident, was that in the
morning it wars found that there was
a nail in each ef Mr.. Koch's front tires
and each tire was fiat Apparently
the burglar was well enough acquaint-
| cd to know Mr.. Koch's connection with
| the company and the nails We're driven
to forestalI being followed. in case he
was seen leaving the building.
But that the burglar is not over
we'll acquainted with local conditions
is also possible, or he might have
waited until pay-night, when the un-
claimed part Of the payroll money,
sometimes amounting to $1,000 or
lsnore, is ia the vault.
i Aside from this payroll money, the
company hes a rule never to leave any
large amount Of money or negotiable
/ paper in the vault. This rule has been
revised and in the future none even of
| the pay-rolI money will be in the
vault
Executives Of other offices are on
guard, thinking perhaps the burglar is
i still hare and soon may honor them
1 with hB attentions. If he does, he
may run into real entertainment.
1t is generally believed the burglary
Sunday night was the work Of two or
more men.
