EDITOR PRESS The Livingston
Banner has raised tempest in
teapot" over the recent smallpox
scare in Marion, and sneeringly
refers TO the mistake of the Mari
on docs" | trust the editor does
not get his information from
member of the medical profession
TX the Marion physicians have
never made any mistakes they are
the first in history, The most emi4
nent are often in doubt and even
make gross mistakes, as to diagno-
sis. The science is perfect, but
men ure imperfect; and notwith-
standing the accumulated wisdom
OF centuries Of study and investi-
cation by millions of wise men,
physicians are still finite creatures
and liable to err
The osteopath, christian scient-
list, patent medicine man, etc, etc.
are the only men who know every
thing, cure all their cases and ne.
YER make a mistake, and the more
physicians quarrel among them
selves the more will these vam-
|pires fatten by preying upon the
credulity of the gullable.
BY way of analogy we might
say that Christianity is perfect,
but Christians are imperfect, and
the devil laughs when Christians
! fall out and fight.
DIR j. O. Dixon and DIR. 7. A,
Frazer both saw Hays and pro.
nounced it smallpox. Upon their
diagnosis he was detained in the
pest house and his face fed a
few days. DR. Frazer attended him
and | never saw him until il was
too late TO be certain Of anything
except that he had very recently
had smallpox. My opinion is, that
il was cases of recurrent erup-
ton, which sometimes happens,
and that none of the physicians
we're mistaken; and again, any
eruption following SO soon after
smallpox might somewhat resem-
BILE the disease and fool the doc
tor, especially when smallpox is so
prevalent as at present, and the
profession is expecting an out
break at any time.
As TO the statement that the Ma
rion docs" wrote to DIR McCor-
mick attacking the Smithland ply
si clans. etc, the only letter to DIR
McCormic of which / have any
knowledge was a simple report of
the existence of smallpox in Ma
rion, written by me the day Hays
was sent to the pest house and be-
fore | knew where he hailed from
or that he had been in the Smith
land pest house. He told the doc
tors here that he came from Ron
deau Island, and said not word
about having had smallpox at
Smithland.
/ am very sorry to have to air
this matter in the public prints, J
the discussion has reached a stage |
at which | feel that it is my duty |
as county health officer, and in jus
tice to those concerned and the
people, who pay the bills, to give
the facts puollclty.
| trust that the physicians will
settle their little dispute without
farther wrangling, and not subject
ito the ridicule of
uuacks and charlatans.
Notwithstanding the fact that
we are members of the greatest,
ioblest profession on
sarth, and that we set up higher
of honor and come near
sr living up to our standard as a
GLASS, than any other class of men
IN the world, there is some huma-
lity and selfishness in us all, but

The martial law resolution on

Whereas, The governor of

of Shoshone county are as law
abiding as those of any other in
the state, and
Whereas, Civil liberty is a
right common to all portions of
the state alike and should not be
abridged except in cases of
emergency, and
Whereas, An emergency does
not now exist and the need for
martial law in Shoshone county

Whereas, The further contin-

a great hardship upon the people
of Shoshone county as well as
discredit the state in the eyes of
the American people; therefore,
be it
Resolved. by the Sixth Idaho
legislature. That every consid-
GRAFTON of expediency and justice
requires that civil government
be restored to the people of
Shoshone county; and the gov

woke the proclamation of May 3,
1899, which declared Shoshone
county to be in a state of insur-
rection, and to end the operation
of martial law in said county.
SUNDAY CLOSING BILL.
Jones bill for closing saloons
outside the limits of incorporated
towns or villages on Sunday and
on week days from midnight I'M
til 5 a. M, was taken up.
Jones sent up and the commit
tee adopted an amendment sub
shutting the word Sunday" for
Sabbath day" in the title.
Macbeth sent up an amend
ment making the bill applicable
to incorporated places. He be-
lieved if the Sunday drinks were
to be shut off in rural districts
they should also be shut off in
the cities.
Houlahan warmly seconded the
motion, adding that rural dis
tricts were Disseminated against
in the matter of school money,
and he objected to any additional
discrimination, especially when
the right to drink was involved.
The author of the bill explain
ed the reason for combining the
bill to rural was that they had no
police to curb boisterous Sunday
crowds.
Macbeth insisted Jones was
merely begging the question. He
believed people in rural districts
were even more moral than the
inhabitants of cities. Moreover,
he said, every precinct was en-
titled to a constable and a justice
of the peace, who certainly could
hold the Sunday drinkers in
check.
Houlahan, speaking to the
amendment, voiced his opposition
to the measure itself. In mining
sections the men would not OBJ
serve such a law, and he believ-
ed nothing would breed disre-
spect for law generally as the en-
actment of law that would
prove so repulsivei it could not be
enforced.
Moody spoke against the bill.
He believed it was the entering
wedge for fanatical religious
legislation, always, he said, de-
structive of personal liberty. He
said he did not want any of the
Blue Laws of Massachusetts
placed on Idaho's statute books.
He favored the amendment be-
cause he believed it would kill
the bill.
After some further discussion
Macbeth's amendment was adopt

What Railroad Ties Cost.

1t is impossible says an exchange. To
estimate, except vaguely, the number
of railroad ties in use in the United
states, but single road, the New York
Central, replaced 100000 old ties with
new ones last year, the Erie 400, 900 in
New York state and 800 000 on it's whole
line, the Delaware, Lackawanna. l5O,-
900, ana other roads in like proportion.
ON all the roads of the country fully
'3,OOo,OOo new ties are required for re-
newals, extensions and additions each
year and this entails il vast use of rail
road materials, is Il steady drain upon
the vailable lumber supplies ana costs,
moreover, a large sum for labor and
hauling. Much ingenuity has been eX-
pended on the projects for retaining
wooden lies longer in use than is pos
sible al present.
The standard Amel lean railroad tie
Is ieet long by inches deep and s
inches wide. and fairly hard wood is
required to prevent the rails from sink
ing and FROM becoming displaced. Oak,
chestnut. locust and cedar are the
usual cross ties.
Many attempts have been made Ia
treat the ties so as To prevent decay of
the wood. Some years ago the cross
ties used on the Reading railroad Were
notched where the rails crossed them
and their ends dipped i'm coal Tar. 1t
was supposed that the tar would pre-
serve the ends from decay. Since then
another process by which the ties We're
saturated with solution of zinc has
been tried. but ii Was found too costly.
A railroad tie costs about fifty cents
and II is customary 10 add twenty Ave
cents for the labor of putting ties In

Electrical Transmission of Power.

In Mines and Minerals for May. Prof
II. G.. Caldwell shows by three examples
worked out in detail the probable range
of successful operation of electrical
transmission from coal mines He says.
in conclusion:
"ThcSe three cases would seem to iu
dicate first, that electrical transmits
sion from mines is out of the question
for distances greater than twenty
miles; second. that if the amount Of
power transmitted be great enough,
transmission to about ten miles may
be profitable In some other cases the
power factor or ratio of average to
maximum power may be greater. which
would help the electrical side of the
case; again. saving in taxes and in first
cost of land may be important: or an
opportunity to run condensinG may be
Il factor
'In all this. it is assumed that the
same grade of coal is used at the mines
as is used at he end of the line: and il
Il cheaper coal is available. the differ
ence should be credited to the electrical
transmission"
