INFLUENZA PUTS END
TO DOMESTIC QUARREL
EUREKA, Cal. Feb. 17 (by Assocl
ated Press).—The epidemic of influ
enza sweeping over Humboldt county
is proving particularly fatal to the
Indian families along Eel river. Re
cently, when flood waters inundated
some twenty square miles of territory
near the mouth of the river, an Indian
family, mother and ten children, all
suffering from the influenza, was ma
rooned on a small island. Aid finally
was taken to the sufferers by means
of boats, but the mother died shortly
thereafter. When relief arrived the
children were scattered in a helpless
condition about the house.

7 EUREKA, Cal., Feb. 17 (by Assoc

i federal government whereby ten mile

; of the county. With the opening e
this highway a passage will be aval

[ realm for adventure opened to then
i An almost entire lack of roads ha
enabled the Klamath river Indian t
live in primeval surroundings unt
the present day, and as a result he i
one of the most interesting native
to be found in California. The wij
warn on the shore, the papoose on th
shoulders of the squaw and the triba
rituals handed down for generation
still are’ part of his life.
Among the majestic sweep of th
Klamath there remain many little Ii
dian settlements where a white mai
can bargain much as in the days o
old.
Some knowledge of American his
tory has penetrated into the wilds o
the region, one of the most bizarr
convictions among the Indians beini
that George Washington discoverei
America.

IDAHO TO RECLAIM
\ LAND FOR SOLDIERS
—
i- BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 17 (by Assoc!
n ated Press).—State and federal co
e operation under favorable laws in the
s making may result during the next bi
e ennium in the reclamation of 1,500,
l- 000 acres of Idaho land for the benefit
0 of returning soldiers and sailors. This
s is 500,000 acres more than has been
s placed under irrigation in the state in
s the last decade, and includes practi
e cally all the state’s remaining irrig
s able undeveloped land.
s Three methods of financing at pres
•t ent regulate the growth of irrigation
f projects in Idaho, but changes to
1- make settlement easier for the return
>- ing soldier and sailor probably will be
i- made. Modification of the Carey Act
1 as administered by the state may be
i. one of the changes.
s Under the district plan, settlers may
a organize as a municipal corporation
1 and float bonds to finance construc
s tion of an irrigation system. Some
s means of making a ready market for
the bonds probably will be provided.
3 Private companies are permitted to
1 file on water, construct works and sell
3 water stock. Conditions which will
induce these' companies to expand are
, being sought by agents.
One of the largest of prospective
, projects is the prune unit, of more
f than 640,000 acres, in Southwestern
Idaho. Surveys have been made for a
. system to radiate from a huge dam
f which it is proposed to build in the
, Snake river near American Falls.
