Dict Of AilIk.4pd Raw Eggs
Cures Cenyumpkf0n.

Cures Conyumpff0n.
St. Louis, May 1s.-Johu A.
Hamilton, a telegraph operator,
formerly of East Alton, who 10
months ago was pronounced hope
lessly afflicted with tuberculosis,
owes his recovery and more
weight than he ever had to per-
sistent diet of raw eggs and sweet
milk.
Though able to return to his
former employment, work, take
exercise and enjoy life, he has
not forsaken the regimen that he
believes saved him from death.
Twelve eggs and sometimes half
a gallon of milk are his daily
food and drink. Other articles
he doesn't attempt to eat, al
though he believes that he could
dispose of any meal that any or
binary man could take without
injury.
Hamilton has visited physici-
ans who told him that death was
only a matter of a few weeks.
They have marveled at his recov-
cry and are ready to give the
credit to the milk and eggs.
When Hamilton quit his posi-
ton at Nameoki, ILL.,, unable to
any longer do the work, he weigh
ed 12s pounds. He went to the
home of his father-in.law, Justice
IS. G. Cooper, in East Alton.
Physicians said that the only
hope of prolonging his life was a
trip to the west. With his wife
and two children, Hamilton start
ed, but on reaching Chicago, he
suffered a hemorrage and was I'M
able to continue. Relatives were
called to the bedside in the belief
that he would die in few hours.
He was able, however to return
to East Alton. Someone suggest
ed that he begin a diet OF raw
eggs and milk.
The suggestion was like a
straw to drowning man. In the
first week of the diet, Hamilton
grew stronger and was soon able
to walk about the house and yard.
In a month he was pound or two
heavier. Then gradually the col
or came back into his face and ne
took long walks about town. All
the while he had increased his
daily allowance of milk and eggs.
From four or five of the one and
a pint of the other the quantity
grew to a dozen and a half and a
gallon, respectively.
Hamilton is now station agent
for the Chicago and Alton road
at San Jose, Ill. He weighs 164
pounds, which is more than he
ever weighed before. He hasn't
had a hemorrage in IA months.
He spends a great deal of time in
the open air, riding, walking
fishing and in vsrious exercises.
His lungs seem to be entirely
healed and equal in capacity to
those of any man who never had
consumption.
The story of Hamilton's re-
markable recovery has spread
through all the countryside and
has interested medical men, some
of whom hold that sweet milk
and raw eggs are about as good a
cure for tuberculosis as science
has been able to discover. More
over, they say that a change OF
climate is not beneficial to those
afflicted.

Method Of MAKING GOOD

are as good today as they were the
day they were put in. 1t says that II
the cement crossing Is put in by COM
petent men and put in right, 1t will
last life time. So much for cement
crossings.
Now let us take up the matter of
culverts and this should interest
every tax payer in this State.
board culvert will last about two ir-
rigating seasons. And a ten inch cul-
vert costs about $4,000. Now If a
thing crossing be put in why our
grand children 40 generations hence
will be chasing tadpoles through
them. And what does thing cost?
When the city of Caldwell let its
sewer contract less than year ago
the successful bidder. quoted thing
at the following prices:
Ten inch vitrified sewer pipe, So
cents per lineal foot. That would
make the average 40-foot culvert
cost $14.40 for the thing, and it
could easily be put in for $500 addi-
tional That would make the aver
age culvert cost $4,000. Now even
say the board culvert cost only $500
to put in, the tiled culvert would be
way the cheaper in the long run.
Eight inch pipe was quoted at 81
cents and 6 inch pipe at II cents.
Now this was the cost of this pipe
laid down here and also included the
profit of the sewer contractor.
This matter should engage the at
tention of both county and city Off
cials, as it will result in vast saw
ing upon our city and county streets
The present methods are wasteful
and extravagant. In addition to this
the city council should pass an ordi-
nance requiring all new bitches to
put in thing for culverts. Under this
regime the road funds of the city and
county would again be up-to-date
with money in them; the road over
seers could spend the time fritterei
away in renewing crossings and cul
verts to grading and draining thu
streets, and in so short time as.on,
year our streets would present /,
pleasing, wholesome and progressive
appearance.

Union Pacific; and the grade of the
Western Pacific is so easy compared
with that of the Hartman line, the
Southrn Pacific, that the properties
of the original builder of the Union
Pacific. Jay Gould, have much the
best of it in the transcontinental
competition.
I'm the dispatch referred to the
route of the Moffat road was indi-
Gated as being via Vernal In eastern
Utah to connection with the Rio
Grande at Heber City, thence down
Provo Canyon to Salt Lake. 1t seems
now as if that was the route to be
followed. An immense territory will
be opened up for development by
such line, coal lands will be ira
versed and a rich and fertile agri-
cultural region will be tapped and all
this will be done without the aid of
the Jesse knight millions or the
Smoot influence.
ut must also be noted that almost
simultaneously with the visit of Mr..
Moffat to Salt Lake came the an
nouncement of the Rio Grande man
agement that the appropriation for
the depot and terminals here had
been increased from 100000 to
100000. Increased facilities would
be necessary for the new line and it
| is probable that the Goulds are max
ing ample provision for the contin-
| gency, so-called."

GOOD REPORTS
ABOUT RAILROAD

AS it is now generally known and
acknowledged that the San Francis
co, Idaho and Montana railroad is
a Gould project, all news of the pro-
gress of Gould lines in Idaho, Utah
and Nevada becomes of general in
terest to the people of Caldwell and
surrounding country. The compile
ton of the Western Pacific to Winnie
mucca, Nevada, is one of the great
connecting links in the system. The
Salt Lake Tribune is authority for
the statement that the Moffat line
from Denver to Salt Lake is also a
Gould line. These things all tend
to confirm the report that the Gould
interests are behind the Golden
Gate" route. In speaking of the Moi
fat line in this connection the Salt
Lake paper says:
Fifteen months ago The Tribune
stated in a special dispatch from
New York that the Moffat line was
Gould project, that it was being
financed by the heavy Gould inter-
ests, that it was being built to con-
meet at Salt Lake with the Wesern
Pacific, another Gould enterprise, and
when both are completed the Goulds
will have the most direct and best
graded line from Denver to the Pa
cific tidewater. The Moffat road
when the tunnel through the CONT.
mental divide Is constructed, will moi
only be the shortest line from Den
yer to Salt Lake City, but it will also
be an easily negotiable grade. While
the Western Pacific is some 10(
miles, longer to San Francisco thar

riman properties, that is overcom

Sunday evening while attempting to
board a car of the Boise-Interurban
AS no one saw the accident the man
ner of the young mans death is I'M
known. His body was found near
the track with the skull crushed. 1t
was learned that citizen saw Brown
jump on a car near the point where
his body was found. 1t is surmised
from the fact that he must in some
way have missed his footing and fell
partly under the car and a wheel
struck his head or possibly the cor
ner of a tie. Brown ran the cream
cry at Star and had several brothers
and sisters living in that vicinity.

dicted by the grand jury on the
charge of attempting to defraud the
United States on timber claims,
charge that N. M. Ruick, United
States attorney for Idaho. used undue
influence upon the grand jury to
secure the indictments against At

to have the proceedings squashed.
According to press reports the
charges are supported by the aflidav-

against Martin. Borah and others.

We wish to say word or two
about our streets. We have observ-
ed that not only in Caldwell, but in
many other places in not only Canyon
but other counties in this State, lum-
Der is being used for culverts and
crossings. Now the settlement of
these counties and cities is a perma-
nent matter Not being Seventh
Day Adventist nor Millenarian, we
believe that it can be safely forecast
ed that this pleasant faced old world
of ours will be doing business here
probably million years from now.
OF course, there will be changes in
the earth surface here and there as
there are changes in dressing styles.
We will have to put up with this. But
we believe our streets and alleys and
irrigating bitches will be reasonably
permanent.
Now we would suggest to the hon
orable city councils in. the several
cities throughout this section of the
State, that a splendid street crossing
can be made out of cement and from
experience at other places, it has
been proven that these crossings are
stable, and that when our children''
children come upon the scene the!
will be able to use these same cross
! ings. And the average road commits
sioner can learn the art of puttin
| in these crossings in a few weeks
time. The average board crossin
| costs about half what the cemen
crossing will cost, but the averag
| board crossing will last in the busi
ness section about a year and on tn
| streets further out about 3 years. L
other words, the average life of tn
average board crossing is about
year and half. You can put in tn
average board crossing for $4,000
| and therefore, the average cemen
crossing will cost about $1,000. l
| the average cement crossing lasts
years, the cost of board and cemen
| will be the same.
Now the Encyclopaedia Brittanni
ca has an article in which it is state
that cement crossings laid in Englan
have been in for 20 years; and the
