CRUSHED IN A WRECK.
W oman in Charge of outftting Train
Fatally Injured.

One of those unaccountable accidents
likely to befall the best regulated rail-
road family in the country, occurred on
the o. R. & N line, near Boonville, Hate
Saturday afternoon, wrecking three cars
of a boarding outfit train, and in the
''mixup" Iniuring Miss Kate Mccall,
who was in charge of the boarding outfit
SO that she had to be taken to Portland
and taken to st. Vincentis hospital for
treatment. Her injuries are sufficiently
serious to make her case precarious
one for several days. until the reaction
sets in.
The train was an east bound extra
freight, which had several boarding out
fit cars, made up of dining, kitchen and
bunk care, for the laborers. When about
IL miles east of Bonneville one of the
outfit cars jumped the track, the cause
being attributed to the dropping of a
bolt or brake beam. Owing to the prox-
unity of . bridge the train was going
slow, SO that the derailing of one car
carried only the two following with it..
There was considerable excitement
VIC O0b aS SOOJ Gil AC-
meined inside none were hurt. Miss
Mccall however made break for the
platform, presumably with the inten-
tion to jump off, at the first sound of the
wreck, and reached it just as her own
car jumped the track, where she was
caught and crushed into an insensible
mass.
The men turned out and made heroic
efforts to extricate her remains, but it
was found impossible to remove the
heavy timbers. In the midst of the work
Miss Mccall revived, and the fact in
creased the zeal of rescuers. After some
10 minutes, which must have seem ed
an age to the suffering woman, she was
taken out and tenderly cared for. A
special car and engine was at once put
! into service and she was taken to Port
land.
Miss Mccall, who is about 80 years
old, is an old employe of the company
having had charge of the outftting
trains for years.

Why? Well, you might convince a
man that he was getting sufficient iron
for his system when he was eat
ing beef, or that if he needed starch he
could get it from bread instead of from
pills, but you couldn't do that with a
woman. They do not reason that way:
/ am speakings especially of patients
slightly hypochondriacal when saw
they would reject such treatment i'm
mediately; but, as general thing, you
can apply the rule to all womankind,
"Advice as to exercise or diet is PEN
orally lost. The average woman wants
to take medicine, and if it is very disa-
greeable she imagines it is very effica-
cious. She gradually gets mania for
pills and potions, and takes delight in
dosing everybody who will submit.
Now, If doctor can readily
help her condition by giving her
bread pills with a hypnotic sug-
gestion, think it is his duty
to do so, and collect his fee. He might
as well whistle down the north wind as
to make woman believe that exercise
and diet are better than medicine. If
he is overly conscientious and abandons
the case another fellow comes along
and gets it, SO the natural temptation
Is to cater to q patients whims."

Doctors In England.

The "Food Cure'' . New Wrinkle Among
Doctors In EnklAnd.
The stood cure" is comparatively
new idea, introduced into England by
several physicians of advanced ideas,
who boldly advanced the proposition
that they can cure ordinary human ills
by dieting and without the use OF medi-
cines, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press. They claim that certain foods
contain all the elements necessary to
effect cures; that they have made up
list which embraces tonics, febrifuges,
diuretics, and, in fact, every medicinal
agent that is defined in the pharmaco-
pnia. These foods are of the simplest
character, but the English doctors do
not disclose them, except to their pa
tients. They say that in the course OF
ten years there will not be one-third
the medicine used that is used to-day,
and they point out the fact that the
sale of quinine and all antipyretics has
decreased in the last dve years to re-
markable degree
"There is good deal lofoom1non sense
in the idea," said physician who had
heard Of the new departure. ''and it

COLONIES FOR The WEST.

Surplus Population of the East eo Settle
on Arid Westera Lands.
1t has been years since the cry OF
'Westward, ho!" has been heard in the
eastern states, and meantime the cities
and thriving manufacturing centera
east of the Mississippi have been rapid
ly filing to the point of overcrowding,
until labor is drug on the market.
Mining, which attracted SO many hun.
dreds of people from the east many
years ago, has lost its glamour, hunting
and trapping have too many devotees
already to encourage more to enter
this life to-day, granger life on the
western scale requires too much capi-
tai and the too-plentiful foreclosure of
western farm mortgages has been dis
couraging to those who may have been
considering emigration. All these
things have tended to stagnate the
population of the east, and the result
is alarming to all concerned, capital
and labor alike.
An opportunity has presented itself
at last, through what is known rs the
Carey law, passed by the Fifty-third
congress, by which each Of eight west
ern states was granted one million
acres of arid land located within their
borders on condition that they utilize
them for agriculture, through irriga-
ton, and prove to the secretary of the
interior that their irrigation plans are
feasible.
Five of the eight states have accepted
the proposition, and one more is ex-
pected to reply favorably before long.
The national irrigation congress, =
body composed OF delegates from twen-
ty-three western states, has appointed
a national irrigation commission, which
body is engaged in forming colonies to
take up these arid lands and carry them
on by irrigation under proper and scien-
tific direction.
Some of the details Of the scheme
are given in the Boston Transcript. It
is the purpose of the commission to
form colonial clubs throughout the east,
wherever there is q congestion of popu-
lation, and these clubs will disseminate
information concerning the present and
future possibilities of the western eoun-
try. 1t is not intended to send out sepa-
rate families, which would certainly
become entangled in difficulties, il not
properly directed. Whole colonies are
to be organized and dispatched to IA
vorable localities, with men competent
to teach them the solution of the prob
lem of irrigation and agriculture.
These colonists it is proposed TO organ
ize on the principles upon which the
successful Mormon colonies were car
ried OH. An organization, to be known
as the Plymouth colony. is now being
formed to take up lands in Idaho. Each
member of this colony is to furnish
one thousand dollars capital. The land
is to be taken in small holdings, and
the whole managed ON the basis Of CO.
operative village.
