thn railroad« am engaged In un earnest
effort to bring about thla condition aa
promptly aa possible, said Itr. C. W.
llopklna, chief aurgnon o f the Chicago
and Northwestern Hallway company. In
a paper present td to thn Academy of
Medicine on "The Hospital Organlxa
tlon of the Railway System."
Dr. Hopkins pointed out that many
large Industrial enterprises had devel­
oped Just as efficient departments o f
health aa were to be found In the most
advanced municipalities nnd sometimes
made even greater per capita expendi­
ture. The railroad physician or sur­
geon hnd an especially due Held before
him, aa the railways were finding tt
their duty not only to prevent acci­
dents, but to prevent dlaeaae from crip­
pling the efficiency of their armlea of
employees. "It la now a well recog­
nized fact among the managements of
the railroad." he said, “ that It la Just
as Important to care for their sick aud
Injured ns it is to maintain a certain
standard of efficiency or perfection of
their rolling stock and roadbed."
In considering the organization of
such work he said the drat considera­
tion was the proper housing of rail­
way employees, In order that the man
could feel well In the environment o f
a home and be free from worry and
anxiety. The next step toward effl
clency lay in the direction of physical
examination to determine the approach
of disease in Its incipient stage.
"There should be nu understanding
with the workmen that this examina­
tion Is not for the purpose of prepar­
ing him for the scrap pile." he said,
"but for the purpose- of maintaining a
condition of bodily health that will
materially prolong his working days,
together with a higher degree of earn­
ing capacity and efficiency.
"T w o general methods hnve been In
use for some years by forty two repre­
sentative railroads of this country,
with the general predominance In fa­
vor of the hospital organization, where
the men themselves contribute a < cr
tain monthly amount toward tbelr
maintenance. Twenty-four of the for­
ty-two railroads are today using the
hospital organizations, some of which
were established ns long as dfty years
ago. This was primarily brought about
on account o f a certain uumber of
these roads running through a very
sparsely settled country, where settle­
ments nnd doctors were few find far
between, and there were no hospitals,
nnd where It was found that men of
ten suffered and sometimes illed be­
cause of lick of Immediate nml proper
care. By a small contrlbutloiij by the
mpti they were enabled to receive the
proper care by good men and to enjoy
the comforts that were necessary to­
ward their well being, nnd 'Vlth but
small cost to themselves.
"The other eighteen roads employ
surgeons nnd hospitals and trqwt their
men for occupational Injuries, paying
nil hills for such treatment and care
without the small monthly assessment
contributed hy the men. There have
been many arguments by learned eeon
omlsts both for nnd against each
method."
"The Transportation o f (.'onautup-
tives” was exhaustively considered In
a paper by Dr. Henry B. Hcmenway of

lation of the Law.
Marshfield, Or,, July 17-—A
decision given by Justice C. L.
Pennock here in Elk horn case
has caused some anxiety on the
part of owners of such orna­
ments,
Pennock found Jordan Schapers
guilty o f violation o f the law, and
fined him $50 for having in his
possession a pair o f Elk horns
which it was shown had been
killed by his dead brother in 1910
and which were in Schapers’
possession before 1913, when the
present law went into effect.
Notwithstanding this, Pennock
held Schapers guilty because he
had the horns. He holds that
there is no qualifying clause in
the law. It is taken that anyone
owning elk horns is subject to
the same prosecution.
Alfred Bayne gathered 19 pair
o f old horns, claiming that he
was to use them at the Elk’ s
convention in Los Angeles. One
pair he secured fiom Schapers.
The state game warden has
ordered Deputy Game Warden
Thomas o f this place to ship all
the horns to Portland.
Bayne was also tried but the
decision in his case has not yet
been given.
