' 1 -' Another Anniversary
HAVING lived for many years in the inland empire in the
domain of the Spokane Spokesman-Review,,, we derived
a great deal of personal pleasure in perusing the 50th anni
versary number of that paper. Few are the empires, which
one paper has dominated so long and so successfully and so
satisfactorily as the Spokesman-Review. It has been distinc
tive for its excellent news coverage of the vast interior
which it serves. Editorially it has been a positive force
for the development of the intermountain country and has
waged many long fights to nrotect the interests there, the
greatest victory being in its fight over long and short haul
rates against abrogation of the famous "fourth section" of
the -interstate commerce act. The Spokesman-Review has
been progressive, liberal in its political outlook. Its owner,
W. H. Cowles, has been distinguished as a publisher, but
he has had very competent men on the editorial staff, the
dean of them being Nelson W. Durham.
Spokane is built on a five-pointed foundation : agricul
ture, chiefly wheat and livestock; lumber, white pine tim
ber; minerals, lead-silver-zinc from the rich mines of the
Coeur d'Alene; power; transportation, with five transcon
tinental railways serving it. It is thus a great producing
section rather than a manufacturing area. As raw materials
are usually first to suffer in a. season of depression, the
bpoicane country was hard hit m the years 1930-1932, and
many of its once strong banking houses closed their doors.
Change of fortune comes equally swiftly to raw products
sections, so now prosperity is swinging back to Spokane and
its environing country. The Spokesman-Review will make a
good evangelist for this revival.
The Spokesman-Review-Spokane Chronicle plant is the
envy of western newspapers. A new building and new equip
ment were put. into service just before the depression
a few years ago. They are the last word in efficiency.
The product of the new presses is a delight to anyone inter
ested in the mechanics of newspaper printing. This 50th

An explanation is due the

r The Liquor Commission
mHERE are too many' lawyers on the governor's liquor tho state Medical society at a
jl commission, uount em, lour out ox eleven: Jonn a. meeting m Foruana
Lamg, Roscoe C. Nelson, John J. Beckman, Jay Upton. The
two first named are men of high reputation, but their prac
tice is in the utility and railroad fields, so they have pre
sumably only an academic knowledge of liquor control ex
perience and methods. Beckman and Upton are "wet" legis
lators, i
The commission is a wet commission, as might be an
ticipated from the sympathies of the governor. This is pro
per in view of the vote last week, for the responsibility now
passes to the foes of prohibition.
We regret the commission does not include some emi
nent clergyman, some one like Bishop Sumner for example.
Or some experienced social worker. The commission is lack
ing in representation from the lower levels of society or
from those who work in the fields where liquor has played
its greatest havoc. Amedee M. Smith and Senator Ike
Staples are dry tails to the kite; but they do not have the
background of those long engaged in social settlement work.
; '-. Dr. Knox, the chairman, says he favors government
liquor stores, but with prices lower than they have in Can
ada. If the state seeks to profiteer out of the liquor trade
it will make it that much easier for the bootlegger to thrive.
The problem is to make Hquor as hard as possible for the
Duyer to get and- still not so difficult as to footer illicit
manufacture and barter which attended unenforced prohi
bition. The commission's work promises to be interesting. We
are going to stick around to see what Mrs. David Honey
man, who did more to repeal prohibition in Oregon than any
half-dozen men, has to propose in the way of "prohibition
reform".
Dr. Steiner opened his address
by giving a couple of true stories
about the handling of two of the
earliest eases of Insane persons in
the old Oregon country. He show
ed that, "In the founding of any
country, one of the first and most
distressing problems to be met is

RECENTLY AN unusual confer

a society for the prevention of as-
phyxial deaths

! Ghemawa as Vocational Center
THE government is getting on the right track when it
plans to continue Chemawa school but to make it more
of a vocational school. SuDt. Ryan of the school has been
' working in this direction; and much has been accomplished!
in providing practical training for Indian youth. Of last
year's graduates 50 were placed in employment; and Supt.
Ryan hopes for greater success in the future.
- Indians have certain skills in their native crafts which
the school has done much to encourage. In addition it seeks
to train youth for practical service in a white man's world.
As time passes these young people will doubtless merge
more and more with the whites, and so must be competent
to sustain themselves or they will retrograde to low social
levels. Trades give them the self-support they require,
f ; Looking farther into the future when the need for the
institution as a school for the Indian race has passed, the
plant might continue to be used as a state vocational school.
Supt. Lipp who served at Chemawa for many years, had this
in mind; and the neonle of the state do well to keen the nns-
sibility in mind. Training in trades will alwavs be needed:
and the plant at Chemawa is adequate and substantial and
should continue in service for manv veara to come.
' Senator McNary has done a fine bit of work in securing
me supplemental appropriation of $50,000 which will enable
me scnooi to care lor 500 vocational students.
More Leisure?
WHAT to do with leisure time will be a more pressing
question if the shorter work day and week become
permanent It was a problem when the eight-hour day came
in, which gave from two to four hours more a day in Idle
ness, recreation, study or avocation. With return of liquor
stores will this Idle time be spent in boozing? Or. will it be
passed in ways more wholesome for one's health and culture.
. One diversion which deserves an impetus is popular
participation in sport (and we -don't mean golf alone).
Americans have the habit of taking their athletics vicarious
ly. They perch on a beard seat in a grandstand for an af ter
- noon watching a ball game or a horse race; and think they
report Issued by
the directors of
this society,
states that the
question U one of
national importance. More than fifty
thousand deaths from asphyxia occur
in the United States every year. Of
this number, almost twenty-eight
hundred occur tn New Tork city
alone.
Takes Heavy Toll
It Is estimated that the death rate
from asphyxia Is twice as great- as
that from automobile accidents. It
la eighteen times that of diphtheria
and seventy times that of typhoid
fever. ;
This tragedy may result from sub
mersion: gas inhalation especially
carbon monoxide from automobile ex
hausts; leaky stoves and gas pipes.
Other causes are overdoses of the
drug la anesthesia; electric shock
the asphyxia ot stillborn children: In
fantlle paralysis; and early pneu
monia.
In most Instances these deaths
could have been prevented. Unfor
tunately, the care ot asphyxia par
ttents is often entrusted to rescuers
arho, though anxious to help, have
had inadequate training. Rarely are
they familiar with modern methods
ot resuscitation.
It Is the plan of the organization
that the necessary equipment, so es
sential tor the prevention of needless
loss ot Ufa, will be distributed
throughout the nation. Of greatest
Importance Is the spreading of In
formation, telling how to avoid the
many pitfalls which may result m
asphyxia. Many cases of asphyxia
would never occur If the victims were
only familiar with the dangers of
Illuminating gas, the exhausts of au
tomobiles, high tension wires, loose
electric sockets and poorly fitted gas
fixtures.
The number of cases ot drowning
during the summer months Is legion.
This Is all too common a cause of

should keep out ot deep waters and
everyone should avoid rough and
treacherous waters. Never go tn

Never overindulge In swimming and.
if you are fatigued, remain close to

prevent these ' sad accident. We

He related that in 1810 Andrew
Henry and Manuel Llsta and their
associates organised the St. Louis
Missouri Fur company, and in
April of that year set out up the
Missouri river for the Indian
country on a trapping and hunt
lng expedition. They reached the
Three Forks of the Missouri, and
there Andrew Henry took some
15 members of their party and
proceeded westward, going into
territory never before seen by
white men.
S S H
The Henry party ascended the
Madison fork of the Missouri,
crossed the continental divide
(summit ot the Rockies), and de
scended the Henry fork of the
Snake (named for him), and
near its mouth erected the fort
that historians have since known
as Fort Henry. The party spent
the winter ot 1910-11 there. In
after years, Andrew .Henry be
came a partner in the' Ashley fur
enterprises, that finally passed
to Jededlah Smith and his part

Pass and were responsible for a
