THE PUTNEY COLUMN
When Spotted Fever Was a seouree In
Town.

The prevalence of spotted fever in
various parts OF the country makes a bit
Of Putney history interesting at this time
In Rev. Amos Fosters history Of this
town is the following: I'm 1918 the spot
ted fever prevailed to an alarming ex-
tent. Rev. Mr.. Andrews left record
descriptive of the epidemic, as follows:
The fall of the year of 1912 was steadily
but not severely cold. On the last OF
November there fell about four inches of
snow, which a few hours of sun would
have carried off. But the cold was so
uniform that the snow lay without in
creasing or diminishing till the first of
January. Then there came considerable
SHOWS; but the cold was for the most part
not severe, but very uniform. The
weather was dry and clear, such as has
generally been deemed most conducive to
health. The fever began to rage the first
week in January and continued with
violence till the last of March, and did
not wholly subside till May. There were
between 200 and 300 cases of the epidemic,
called the spotted fever. 1t was general
ly very malignant typhus. From the
9th of January to the 18th of April there
were 3S deaths. When the thaws and
rains commenced in March the sickness
abated, and the return of cold days never
failed of producing new cases of the fever.
So general and interesting a disease had
never been known in this section of coun-
try" Rev. Elisha d. Andrews was the
third pastor Of the Congregational church.
His Passionate extended from 1917 to 1927.

Possible Sewer Graft.

Sensational developments are likely
TO follow the investigation of sewer
matters started by ID. Il. Hubbard in
the city council last evening.
A Capital News reporter learned to-
day from reliable authority that the
new main sewer, which extends across
the bottoms Of the river quite dis
tance. was to have been 81 inches in
diameter. and the contract price was
about IS per lineal foot. The capacity
OF the sewer will be shown to have
been reduced 40 per cent, and the
price of construction was only cut
down % cents per foot, making a plain
graft OF several thousand dollars.
The investigation will show still
farther, that where several hundred
feet of 2S-inch sewer was increased to
32 inches, the contractors price was
increased S1.25 per foot.
II Is believed the new sewer Just
completed Is so small that another
viii have to be put in soon to carry
off the city sewage. This deplorable
condition proves some one was at
fault. and the council proposes to find
out all about it.-Boise Capital News

Woolmen VIII Make Salt.

The Idaho Woolgrowers' association
has just made the final payment of
$4,000 on the salt plant ii has pur-
chased with which to fight the salt
trust and has reduced the price of
salt from $3.50 to $1,75 per ton. This
is the lowest rate that has ever been
made on salt anywhere in the west.
This price is regarded as II remarka-
bly, good one in view Of the big task
of preparing the salt. The water is
pumped into shallow ponds and al
lowed to evaporate. The salt Is then
scraped up. cleaned. sacked and sewed
up, and Is even loaded on the cars
for the sum of SIZE for each 1000
pounds.
The woolgrowers feel they have the
moral support of the entire state in
their fight against the salt trust
They have already forced down the
price of salt in Boise, for illustration,
from $l7 per ton to $S.75. including
freight and all other charges.
The association has issued the fol-
lowing circular letter in reference to
the matter:
Boise. Idaho Sept. 20. 1905.
Dear Sir:-The Idaho Woolgrowers'
association has completed in every de-
tail the transaction whereby they have
purchased outright controlling in
terest in the salt plant and all proper
ty pertaining thereto, formerly owned
by the Great Western Salt & Soda
company. This has been done after
considerable investigation and at a
great deal of expense. aside from the
purchase price paid.-Boise States
