WORLD-TELEGR LATEST
 PAPER OUT IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK.-The New York World Telegram, AS pages, appeared as the result of the consolidation of U the Evening, Morning and Sunday Worlds with the Telegram.
 They were sold by Ralph, Joseph : IT,, and Herbert Pulitzer to the Scripps-Howard syndicate at a cost estimated at $5,O00,0O0. It was the biggest newspaper transaction in the history of this country.
 The. sale of the Worlds occurred within. two hours after Surrogate James A. Foley decided the late Jo- seph Pulitzer's will requiring his sons to perpetuate the papers would not prevent the sale to the Telegram.
 The Pulitzers said economic condi- tions forced the sale. Five hundred thousand dollars of the proceeds will be distributed among the 2,8O0 en- ployes.

for natives. The school buildings are likely to contain, in addition to the recitation room, an industrial room, kitchen, quarters for the teacher, and laundry and baths for the use of the native community.
 Sixteen stations are maintained to which trained nurses are attached. In mast of the settlements the nurses live in quarters provided for the teaching staff, meet the people in their homes, study their problems and become their adviser.
 Most unique among the enterprises ofo.the Government in reaching the Alaska native with medical care is a little gasoline launch 25 feet long, its tiny .bunkers stocked with medicine, surgical implements and supplies, which every summer. goes on long creise,from village to village up the Yukon river. The medical officer who is skipper for this launch thus makes an annual call at each of scores of native villages and offers to those suffering infirmities whatever relief medicine or surgery, under the cir- cumxtancesy may bring.
 The Indian Service has long been responsible for. the education and

health of more than 200, 900 meznber8 of the Indian race. 1t has n,sinssined a system of day schools on the ree~ ervations, supplemented by boarding schools scattered throughout tho West It has 8 stae; which has been administering many ~ hospitals and looking after the health of these na~ tive Americans over a>large area. Its task as to both education and health Of the natives within continental United States is very similar to the problems in Alaska, and the present reorganization is due to the belief that these functions more properly belong to the Indian Service than to a researc hagency such as the Office of Education.

This is the realm of the Eskimo.
 Far into the interior where reach the Yukon, the Percupine and the Koyukuk rivers, live, the Athahascans, most isolated of all hnman .heings on this continent. It is: .pnobable that there are groups of Americans at these headwaters who have never been seen by white men and who do not know that a world beyond exists. Down the fringe of Alaska that reaches furthest south, where the eli mate is warmer ,are. to be found the Thlingets, the Hydas, and the Met lakatlans, not unlike the Indians of the Northwestern States. In villages than range in population from 90 to 400, these people live, each village largely a unit unto itself.
 Already many Eskimas have re- placed their igloo homes, which were dirty and insanitary, with homes built largely under the direction of American school teachers. They are coming to live as do civilized people. The young Eskimos. all speak Eng fish and read and write. They have been taught ventilation, sanitation, personal cleanliness.

KEEP THIS QUIET

W. j. Kincad and D. S. Wilkinson killed two-foot
rattlesnake the cement walk in town Thursday morn
ing Of last week and brought their kill to the Spokesman
office to prove their story.
Beyond the fact that this rather late in the for
any specie of snake to be wandering around top of the
ground there is not great deal of news value in the IN
cident But their allegations are far more serious,
They charge that the snake was found not far from the
residence of the editor of this newspaper and charge fur
Their that it their belief the RATHER of large
menagerie maintained by for keeping in
cellar large quantity of snake bite remedy.
Of course deny the charge vehementy. Besides,
told the snake to wander beyond the alley back
of the house.
But and this is Important what these two men
doing in the vicinity Of cellar at that hour Of the day
It seems to that they have risked their reputa-
lions far greater extent than the snake risked
his life. After ALL he may only have been on his way to
the office that marauders in the vicinity
Any way you look at it the affair unfortunate
and we think the less said about it the BETTER In any
event we don't think it should be given any publicity.

Ever hear of potatoes with iron rings
in their noses like we used to decor
ate hogs in the old days? Well, J. B.
Tromanhauser brought a Melted Gem
into the Spokesman office this week
with one side of an iron ring deeply
imbedded in one end. Otherwise the
potato was normal in every way. j.
B. says he is unable to account for
the freak but we suspect that he may
have figured the spuds might be a
little wild this year and he had nature
put the ring there so he could tie them
up. Either that or 1t was done to pre-
vent the potato from burrowing down
deeper in the ground in the event it
was not dug before the arrival of cold
weather.
