BREAK IN WATER MAIN
FOUND; REPAIRED TONIGHT
The break in one of the mains of
the Douglas water system, which
I* W. Kiltrurn with the assistance of
a crew of men has been trying to
locate for the past 10 days, was yes
terday uncovered near the Liberty
Theater and will be repaired by to
night.
Extending over a length of about
20 fecit of pipe*, the break was so
large that it would drain the water
tank in lev3 than two hours. While
the shortage of water has been some
what of an Inconvenience to many of
*he Douglas residents, it was entire
ly umpreventable. Mr. Kilburn, own
f*r of the water works, used every
endoaror to locate the faulty pipe
as early as possible. Besides hav
ing a crew of men steadily engaged
digging for the break, Mr. Kilburn
offered a reward of $25 to anyone
who could locate it for them.
With the mending of the damaged
pipe no further interruptancd' of
service is anticipated.

Idaho Character Is to
Be Given Aid by Citizens
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 18.—Idaho citi
zens are planning measures in be
half of Lorenzo West, aged 82, lie-,
lleve# to bo the last survivor of the
band of men who in 1863 established
Fort Boise an the present townsite
•of this city.
West is a discontented inmate of
the county hospital here. Ho says
ho dislikes tho tflea of being an ob
ject of charity and wants to be taken
to the Idaho Soldiers' Home, a.sswrt
ing belief that, although never an
enlisted man in the United States
army, his numerous buttlos with hos-1
tilo Indiana ellould entitle him to ad j
mission^
In the pioneer days West was em
ployed bj the government as u driver
of mulctearas aad In 1863 when j
Major Lusenbeil, U. S. A., received;

ESKIMOS ARE j
HAPPY PEOPLE
Head of Missionary Hospital
at Point Barrow Enlight
ens Easterners,
BUFFALO. Jan. 18.—Certain tinbes
of Eskimos do not oat blubber and
live in lco igloos, nor are they rhort
and squat, according to Dr. Frank
H Spence, head of the mi-sionary
hospital at Point Barrow. Dr. and
Mrs. Spence are now here on a visit
from Point Barrow, where they
opened the farthest north institution
of its kind.
' The pictures in the school books
are wrong,” Dr. Spence says. "The
Eskimos of Point Harrow are as
larjjf as the average American. They
do hot eat blubber, bill burr* it for
fuel No:the- do they Live in houses
made of ice if they can help it. At
Point Bartow their shacks are of
thre" thicKt.eaSes of wood, with much
building taper in between.
‘ They are the happiest people im
aginatee; iney laugh much more
than th^ w ,-ie man. They are very
perlite and show many characteristics
of lit ; U 'cntal. Because of their
crowded living quarters many of
them con; i" ca tuberculosis, but wo
are comoai. ng this.
*'! have hoard from white men
the at cry of Eskimos killing the aged
and helpless. tTru never from a na
tive They are kind to their crip
ples, sick and old. They use mod
ern weapons for hunting and rarely
resort to the spear, also Invariably
shown in pietureboohs* They make
wonderful meek; nirs.”
