Editor Deseret News:
Idaho Falls, Bingham Co, Idaho, Dec.
2l.-In the Christmas edition OF the
News" we note In the Snake River
valley write-up the population Of Rex
burg Is given as 3,0O0 while Idaho Falls
Is given credit for only 600 or ZOO as
you emphasize by the participle
strictly speaking" The writer's
have no desire to detract from
the laurels OF Rexburg, but wish
to make a correction of the figures CIV
en- for Idaho Falls,
In the year 1900, the official census of
Idaho Falls gave the population as over
1,400. The school census of this year
shows over 500 school children, so we
feel safe in saying that, Strictly
speaking" the population OF Idaho
Falls proper Is not less than $500, and
It is our opinion that 5000 would be
nearer the correct figures.
While this mistake may occur to
many as one OF minor Importance, II
may, owing to the general reputation OF
the "NSws" for reliability, bring the
real estate firms, who use 1t as an adj
vertising medium, into light Of dis
repute with the people whom they de-
sire to reach through this medium, Ac-
quainted with the facts as we are, we
always hold Idaho Falls IN its proper
position, which Is the largest, most ac-
tive and most rapidly growing town In
the Snake River valley We do not
like our advertising medium to get at
variance with the correct reports, which
we send out and emphasizing the vary.
Ing items by the qualifying expression
strictly speaking" else the readers
may think we are Intentionally mis-
representing, and working our busl-
ness as a graft Yours respectfully

NEW LOCOMOTIVES.
During Past Year s,l52 Engines Were
Built I'm United States,

New York, Dec. 25--The Railroad
Gazette gives the following statistics
OF car and locomotive building during
the last year:
Official returns from practically all
the car building plants In the United
States show that l54, sos cars have been
built during the year 1903. OF this total
figure approximately 49,, SOL are freight
cars and 2,0O7 passenger coaches; 153,i95
for domestic and 1913 for export, Last
year tho total number Of cars built was
1854.
During the year 5,152 locomotives
We're built at the various locomotive
works in the country, as against 1910
last year, The number includes So
electric locomotives. The increase
over 1902 Is the largest OF any one year,
and possibly is due TO the fact that
the locomotive works In the country
had such a volume OF orders placed
during 1902 that they were unable to
make immediate deliveries, and many
of the orders were held over until 1903.
At an average cost the locomotive OF
$4,000 the total amount spent by the
railroads for motive power would be
approximately SCI, 100000. This figure
does not include the locomotives which
are built yearly by the railroad COM
panies at their own shops.

Allentown, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE first
suits brought in this state under the

Remarkable Results Obtained in
Use Of Imported Serum for
Typhoid Fever.
BROUGHT HERE FROM ITALY
In Some of the Cases Improve
ment Set in Before the
Fever Had Half Run
Its Course.

New York. Dec. 17.-Remarkable
cures of typhoid fever patients are re-
ported by Beth-Israel hospital where a
serum imported from italy and Switzer
land Is being used. Although the REM
edy has been in use more than three
months, it has just been made public.
In that time 80 cases have been treat
ed at the hospital which is in the most
crowded quarter. of the east side. Not
one Of the patients died. and in some
instances improvement set in before the
fever had run more than half its reg
ular course. A small quantity of this
lymph is injected into the body three
times day sometimes in the thigh,
sometimes in the breast. The opaa-
alton is of the simplest and practlc-
ally painless.
Physicians in charge of the institu-
tion refuse to discuss the matter fully,
pending the preparation Of a detailed
report on each case for the use of the
medical profession. They admit tne
successful use Of the new serum but
maintain that the treatment is still In
| it's experimental stage.
