INVESTIGATES APPENDICITIS.
Consul Studies Subject In
Germany.

Consul General Guenther from Ber-
lin, reports, from statements contained
in German papers, that appendicitis,
or inflammation of the vermiform ap-
pendix, has assumed the disagreeable
character of becoming more and more
fashionable disease. Surgery has
achieved great triumphs in this sphere
and has cured innumerable cases of
the disease. The French surgeon
Roux. however, has asked this ques-
ton: rs appendicitis over If one car
ries his appendix in ones pocket?"
and his answer was not entirely af-
firmative. From the statements of
Dr. Frederick Trever, one of the fore
most authorities, and physician of
King Edward, similar doubts appear.
According to the experiences of this
great expert failures may occur,
which he treats in two groups on the
one hand the operation may only re-
suit in relief or an incomplete cure !;
on the other hand, complications are
to be feared which do not depend up
on the surgical Intervention. Only the
surgeon is concerned to study the de-
er. in order to more fully learn of the
eventual dangers which may follow an
operation. For the patients, it must
be stated that an operation remains
the most pre-eminent remedy, if not
the only one, of which complete
cure is to be expected.
Doctor Pond of Liverpool. has ad-
vanced new theory with reference
to the origin of appendicitis and other
disturbances of the digestive organs in
the Lancet. He calls attention to 1t
that such ailments can often be at
tributed to antimonial poisoning, and
the source of the antimony taken up
by man is said to be the rubber rings
which are frequently used to close all
sorts of bottles. Doctor Pond has es-
tablished the fact that such rings con-
sist of almost one-third their weight
of antimony. The antimony is not
only dissolved by the mineral waters
containing alkalis and organic acids,
but these rubber rings, as daily OBJ
servauon shows, soon become brittle
and some of the compound falls into
the contents of the vessels.
Doctor Pond claims to have found
that a frequently repeated introduc-
ton of antimony can become the
source of a series of disturbances of
the nutritive and digestive system, es-
pecially through continued weakening
of the muscles of the stomach and in
testines. In case that his statement
as to the contents of antimony in rub
ber rings is correct, his deductions
seem plausible, but with reference to
appendicitis a confirmation of such
connection must be awaited.

The youngest member of congress,
one of the readiest off-hand orators
In Idaho, and an active and aggress-
i've politician is Burton l.. French,
member of congress from Idaho, who
passed through the city this morning
from the celebration at Twin Falls,
to his home at Moscow.
1T seemed that all the people In
Idaho were present at the celebration
at Twin Falls this week." said Mr..
French to the East Oregonian today
"and yet many, many remained at
home 70 attend to business, while but
a few of us celebrated.
1.-THE opening of an irrigation pro
ject or the building of a railroad In
Idaho are always peculiar occasions
for a rousing celebration for we need
both railroads and irrigation very
much and wish to encourage both IN
dustries on every occasion.
"The settlement of arid districts or
the west is the greatest problem be-
fore western members of congress-
and there should be unity Of action,
unity Of sentiment and unity of influ-
ence to secure all the government ir-
rigation possible for the western
states"
Mr.. French was country school
teacher when he was elected to con-
gress and has developed great ability
as a worker in the interest of his state
and for western interests in congress.
The people Of Idaho are now elated
over the prospects for north and
south line through that state connect
ing the state capital with the northern
portions of the state. At present
the only way to reach Boise by rail
from the northern part is by way OF
Pendleton, which makes it trip OF
700 to 500 miles, while a line lSO
miles in length to connect the Payette
and Idaho Northern with the Northern
Pacific at Moscow would give the peo-
pie a direct line TO the capital.

PECULIAR ROAD DISPUTE
Is the Route Il Highway by Usage or
Public Land?


Today surveyors left Baker City for
the Cornucopia mining district for the
purpose Of making the necessary sur
veys to declare the road over which
the recent shooting trouble took place
county road. says the Baker City
Herald.
The history of the road is a pecu-
liar one. About 25 years ago it was
merely an old trail. One of the first
owners of the Queen of the West
mine used 1t as a pack trail and i'm
proved It somewhat. Then some other
man who widened it out and made
what is known in mining circles as. a
drag road. Later the other people
made 1t into a wagon road.
1t seems that this road passes over
corner of a piece of road owned by
Pierre Humbert. Humbert claimed
that the ground was his and that he
had a right to start a tunnel into the
mountain side right in the middle of
the road. Boggs, of the Mayflower,
claimed that by public use for a period
exceeding 10 years, the road became
a county road, and that he had as
much right to travel over Pierre
Humbert's land as any other man,
since the road came over this land.
That is all the trouble. If the
county court finds from data that
this is a county road or rather pub
lie road and belongs to the county,
then 1t will be so declared and the
matter will be settled.
