Statistics for the month of
August, compared day by day for
1905 with 1873, shows exactly
the tremendous strides that
have been made by the health
authorities and citizens Of New
Orleans in fighting against the
yellow fever infection.
The figures show that since
Aug. z the divergence between
the records of 1873 and the rec
ords of 1905 has been steadily
showing increased favor for the
latter year. To Aug. z, 1873, the
record had been no worse than
1906 to the same period. Since
that time it has steadily and
speedily shown improvement.
In both years the fever was
announced about the same time.
On Aug. /, 1878, Jagged behind
1905 in both the number of cases
and the number of deaths. With
q greater population, and with
the number of immunes far
smaller than ever before, the out
look was sufficient to cast gloom.
Then the local authorities, the
people, the officials, began the
fight along the sanitary lines
that they had neglected as pre-
cautionary measures, but now
took up gladly as = prevention OF
further spread, and as q cure for
epidemic, il not for disease.
When the entire population
was aroused and working, the
Federal authorities were asked
to take charge. and since that
time their directing energies
have guided the fight.
The following statistics show
the month Of August thus far
has witnessed the turn Of the
tide Of infection:

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS q rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose Of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-fashioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has q tend
ency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Collie.
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then . dose of castor oil, and the
disease may be checked in its incip-
iency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil aud this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready for
Instant use IS soon as the first indica-

Some SeasonabIe Advice.

1t may be a piece of superhuos
advice to urge people at this sea-
son of the year TO lay in ii supply
OF Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t is almost sure to be needed be-
fore winter is over, and much
more prompt and satisfactory re-
suits are obtained when taken as
soon as a cold is contracted and
before it has become settled in
the system. which can only be
done bv keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely
known and so altogeter good
that no one should hesitate
about buying it in preference to
any other. 1t is for sale by Par
Mercantile Company.

IDAHo's STAR OF DESTINY.

Within a brief twelvemonth large
section OF souti ern Idaho, by means Of
irrigation canals, has been transformed
from "A sagebrush desert to a rich agri-
cultural district. Cities have risen as if
by magic, and the splendid young news
papers OF the thriving young towns Of
Twin Falls, Burley and Hepburn speak
glibly of ten thousand dollar opera
houses, fine business buildings and ele-
CANT homes.
With the rich desert lands of Idaho
being brought under water and develop
ment progressing along other lines the
Gem states star Of destiny is rapidly be-
coming one of the very first magnitude.

THE SNAKE HARNEssED AGAIN
Huntington and Neighhoring
Towns to be Supplied with
Light and Power from
Bay Horse Rapids

One of the biggest enterprises for
Huntington and in fact the entire sec
ton of this end of Oregon and Idaho is
being put on foot by Godfry sperling of
Boise and n. W. Dover OF Nyssa.
These gentlemen have already begun
active operations to harness the waters
Of the Snake two miles below this place
at a point known as Bay Horse rapids.
They have a force Of men on the
ground now making surveys and expect
to begin work on the dam Immediately.
The completion OF this work will mean
much for this sections as it will give
Huntington electric lights and water
power. as well as furnishing power for
the adjacent towns and the mines up
and down the Snake river. Huntington

SILVER SPIKE
BEEN DRIVEN
Large Number Of Boise People
Attend Laying Of First Rail
Caldwell Folks Happy

Actual construction work on the Boise
Valley Railway company's line from
Boise to Caldwell began at Boise Mon
day with the driving OF silver spike at
u O o'clock, at the intersection OF Broad
way and Warm Springs avenue. A large
number OF Boise business men were
guests Of the promoters of the enterprise
on this occasion, and the Columbia band
added a gala touch to the event.
Donaldson and Ustiek. the promoters,
had chartered the big trolley excursion
car OF the Boise Rapid Transit company,
which was filed with about one hund-
red local merchants, professional men
and members Of the press. At Broad
way an informal program of speechmak
ing was rendered. Mr.. Donaldson acting
as master OF ceremonies. Dr. C. Rosa
Baker rendered prayer, and he was
followed by others who spoke briefly on
the Importance OF the Boise Valley line
as affecting the future commercial pro-
gress Of the capital city.
The silver spike was then driven and
work actually commenced on what will
eventually prove to be one of the most
important interurban trolley lines in
the intermountain region.
The promoters announce that two car
loads of material for the construction OF
the line are on the ground, and that
timber for two bridges between Boise
and South Boise has been sawed and de-
livered. One hundred tons of steel rails,
in the first order, are on the way. as are
also of u cars Of ties ordered from
an Oregon mill. This material will be
laid as rapidly as men can do the work
and the company confidently expects to
complete at least five miles of road be-
fore winter sets in.

TRAIN CREWS FIRED
Trainmen In Weiser Railway
Accident Lose their Jobs
Both Crews Blamed

The result Of the investigation by the
railway officials OF the wreck near Wei
ser on September 23d has been announc-
ed, two conductors and an engineer be-
ing permanently dropped from the pay
rolls of the company. The men thus
discharged are old Short Line employees,
John McManis, conductor of passenger
train, and S. L. Russell, conductor and
and Ephraim Mcdowell engineer of the
Cannon Ball.
1t has been found the men in charge
Of both trains were at fault. Alex La
Rose, engineer OF the passenger, lost his
life IN the collision, and the other men
now lose their places.
In connection with that wreck very
interesting story has been in circulation
ever since It occurred. This does not
have any bearing upon the responsibility
for the disaster, but it does show that
the engineer of the mixed train acted
with promptness, and perhaps prevent
ed the accident from being far greater.
Engineer Mcdowell saw the passen-
ger rushing down upon him. He quick
ly brought his engine to a stop, reversed
it and had the train going backwards
when the impact came. The engineer
of the passenger did not see the other
train, as his train was on a curve which
shut out his view, while his fireman was
engaged.
One Of the cars constituting the mixed
train was loaded with 27 900 pounds OF
giant powder. The cars in front of it
were all smashed, and its buffer was
broken. 1t is the belief OF persons hav-
ing knowledge OF the circumstances that
the reversing OF the direction OF the Can
non Ball lessened the force of the im-
pact sufficiently to prevent the wrecking
of the dynamite car, which could scarce
" have failed to have resulted in an ex-
plosion which might have been appal-
ling in its coDsequences.-Statesman.

two years ago because OF the astounding

ganized in New York. He has an ANAL

sLATER-KING BOUT CALLED OFF
Slater Would Not Fight for the
Money In Sight.

Apparently the cold weather last
night penetrated the theater in which
the Slater-King fight was to have
taken place, for the participants in
the proposed bout were treated to a
genuine frost. Less than 100 specta-
tors were present. and only $65 had
been derived from them at the box
office.
After some half dozen preliminar-
les had been fought by local boys.
and the audience had waited half the
evening. they were chagrined to re-
ceive an announcement that Slater
would not enter the ring unless 800
additional was raised by those pres
ent. An attempt was finally made to
secure this amount, and the hat was
passed among the audience, but only
the sum of $3.50 was donated. This
amount did not tempt the waiting
pugilist, and at last the affair was
given up in disgust and the specta-
tors told to call at the box office for
their money.

CHILDREN USERS OF TOBACCO.
Boys and Girls Use 1t in School in
North Carolina.

Evidently there is a slight differ
ence between the habits of school
children along the southern Atlantic
coast and those of the cultured West.
At least such is undoubtedly the
opinion of one of the teachers now
taking examination here. She is Miss
Cordelia Hall, now teaching east of
Weston, and recent arrival from
North Carolina.
In conversing with Superintendent
Welles today about her experience as
teacher in that state Miss Hall stat
ed that in the last school she taught
there she had so pupils, all white
children. and that every one of the
number was a user of tobacco. This
was true of the girls as we'll as the
boys, the former using the tobacco
as a snuff, while the latter chewed
and smoked. Great difficulty was en-
countered by the young school ma am
| in keeping the floor of her room clean
because of the filthy practice.

KING AND SLATER KNOCK OUT
A Bartender Wins in One Round on
Points and Execution.

Evidently the two pugilists who
were billed for a fight last night,
which did not occur through the dis
inclination of one of the pair to par
ticipate, are a fierce lot, satirically
speaking, for after having failed to
pummel each other last night the two
of them later were put out of
commission by one bartender.
AS the story goes, Messrs. Slater
and King were in a local barroom
late in the night, and after having
the drinks served to them refused
to pay for the same. This, it seems,
was endured with patience by the
man behind the bar, However when
the two "professed" prize fighters be-
came engaged in a quarrel and be-
gan to scuffle in the room, the wrath
of the mixer became too much to
bear, and it is said that he thereup-
on secured a young club and with
its assistance finished his guests COM
pletely In one round.
