Thirty-Two Dentists Work
Over Guatemalan Natives
There are thirty-two surgeon den
tists practicing their profession in the
Republic of Guatemala at present, of
whom twenty-two are located in
Guatemala City and the remainder in
Quezaltenago, Escuintla, and the oth
er leading towns of the country. The
total given does not include a num
ber of young dentists recently grad
uated from dental colleges of the
United States or from the Guatemala
College of Dentistry, who are asso
ciated as assistants of older and estab
lished dentists.
No one is permitted to practice
dentistry in Guatemala without under
going an examination, which is con
ducted in the Spanish language by
the examiners of the dental division
of the Guatemala Facultad de Medi
cina. Fully 75 per cent of the Guate
mala dentists are graduates of den
tal colleges of the United States.
After obtaining diplomas from these
colleges they readily pass the pre
scribed examination and are admit
ted to practice in this country. A
school of dentistry has been main
tained for a number of years in con
nection with the National School of
Medicine, or Facultad de Medicina.
For the last ten years the local school
has graduated from two to three pu
pils per annum. The school has a
small attendance at this time, for the
reason, it is stated, that the Guate
malan students prefer the dental col
leges of the United States, the diplo
mas from which lend them prestige
when they embark in the practice of
their profession. United States Com

army, in successful wartarel
Fremont was prepared for still an
other expedition and it proved to be
the most perilous of all. He and his
father-in-law, Senator Benton, had
discussed the practicability of a rail
road over the Rocky mountains to
California. Both of them believed
that, such an enterprise was possible,
and that at no distant day a railway
would thus connect the east with the
far west. His fourth expedition was
to determine whether the ingenuity,
courage and perseverance of Amer
ican . benefactors could ever accom
plish such a stupendous work, if they
should try.
In. November, '1848, "Colonel Fre
mont, with his company, arrived at
the Pueblos on the upper Arkansas,
at the foot of the Sierra which lay in
his route." ' .
- Fifth Trip to Coast.
But Colonel Fremont was not alto
gether satisfied with the results of his
fourth expedition. A fifth was neces
sary in order to determine, beyond
dispute, whether it was practicable to
build a railroad over the Rockies, and
where lay the most feasible route. So
his fifth expedition was undertaken
with as much enthusiasm as he had
put into any one of the four preced
ing it It was attended with great
success, without any extraordinary
trials and hardships, and the object
of Fremont's highest ambition was
triumphantly accomplished. His fame
had now reached all civilized coun
tries' Fremont now settled in California
and became a leader in organizing the
state. He was prominent in the prep
aration of its constitution, into which
he was instrumental in introducing a
cipation was a military necessity. Mr.
Lincoln wrote to him approving all
of his proclamation except the eman
cipation clause; and he asked Fre
mont to withdraw that, but he re
fused. Then the president himself an
nulled it in a public order. Subse
quently Fremont was placed in com
mand of the "mountain district" of
Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee,
where his most effective fighting was
done. In June, 1862, he asked to be
relieved, and returned to New York,
where his family had lived since 1856.
In 1864 a convention of republicans,
who were opposed to Mr. Lincoln for
a second term, nominated Fremont
for president and he accepted the
nomination. But a subsequent con
ference with republicans in favor of
Mr. Lincoln's re-election, and the
growing conviction that the success
of the Union cause depended upon
continuing President Lincoln in of
fice, led him to withdraw.
After the' close of the Civil war,
General Fremont was conspicuous in
the building of railroads, particularly
in the west and south. He was gov
ernor of Arizona from 1878 to 1881,
where his counsels and labors were
invaluable in developing the resources
of that new country. He died in Cali
fornia in 1889; and a grateful nation
paid a noble tribute to his memory.

Tragedy of Chinook Salmon
One of Nature's Mysteries
When the Chinook salmon of the
Pacific coast leave salt water and go
far inland to spawn in shallow stearms
they never return. Large fat and
healthy when the run up the coast
rivers begins in the spring, the fish
soon waste away from lack of food, as
they never eat after leaving the salt
water. During the long trip to the
spawning grounds, hunger causes the
fish to attack each other viciously, and
it is a question of the survival of the
fittest. The weaker never reach their
destination, the stronger lose tails and
fins in their fight for supremacy. As a
result of the actual spawning follow-,
ing the run up the rivers without food,
the fish change in color and lose all
their scarlet and most of their skin,
becoming a mass of white patches and
blotches of decay. Their mission in
life ended, the old fish die and the
newly born find their 'way to salt
water, only to repeat the experience
of their elders four years hence. The
spawning ground of the Chinook sal
mon is both his cradle and his grave.
Here is a fish tragedy unequaled cer
tainly by anything in human arinals.
