Power Possibilities.

A large amount of power coulc
be developed at this dam site,
which would be available for use
in pumping water to several tracts
of land in the vicinity, which can
not be reached by gravity. One
Of the largest of these is the Sue
cor creek tract, for the irrigation
of which Snake river would furn-
ish an unfailing water supply.
Another tract within reasonable
distance is the Dead Ok fiat in Ore

The construction of the three dams
referred to, the two on the head

Black Rock CANYON dam, would
not be very expensive but the bene-
fits which would result are almost
beyond estimate Nearly every
other feature of the project would
be greatly advanced. In fact, these
works almost constitute the key to

plans affecting the Payette valley,
Mr.. Ross writes: 1t is proposed to
construct diverting dam on the
Payette river at a point known as
Black Rock canyon about six miles
above the town Of Emmett. This
dam would be designed to raise
the water surface 70 feet above
present low water. 1t is proposed
to construct canal divertinR above
this dam on the south side of the
Payette river to follow the foot
hills distance of 26 miles to a
point ON the divide between the
Boise and Payette valleys. The
canal would be divided at this
point, one branch being carried
INTO the Boise valley, and the other
continued along the south edge of
he Payette valley, irrigating |
bout 1900 acres Of land situated |
Ibove the existing system of canals
n that valley. The branch canal
which would be carried into the
Boise valley would have capacity
or the irrigation of 81, 900 acres of
be land just described.

Rosebery seems to have reached 1t
when he gave as an illustration of the
Scottish students life the father of
DR.. Robertson Nicoll when he was at
Aberdeen university, in 1880. He had
at his command f12, of which fS went
in fees. This left "a $500 for a sea-

him a shilling a week, his food was
bread and cheese, his drink treacle
and water, and he had to face the long
Aberdeen winter without fuel. Lord
Rosebery remarked, with his usual

we should think, to recommend it as
an ideal of university life for young

Walker Hall gave some interesting de-
tails of two outbreaks traced to the
same carrier" These were the first
outbreaks of the kind investigated in
Great Britain, although others have
since been recorded
The attention which these carrier"
cases has received is in the first in
stance due to Kayser and Klinger,
who have published interesting obser-
vations on this subject in the reports
of the imperial German board of
health.
That the bacillus typhosus may per-
sist in the body for prolonged periods
has been known for some time, and
the occurrence of typhoid bacilli in
the gall bladder and in gall-stones is
well known. They have been found
by Won Dungern in pure culture in the
gall bladder fourteen years and six
months after the attack of enteric
fever. DIR. G.. Dean recently published
case in which bacilli were passed
twenty-nine years after the attack.
1t is estimated that about four per
cent of patients who have suffered
from enteric fever become chronic
carriers" and it is generally sup
posed that the bacilli grow in the bile
in the gall bladder and smaller bile
ducts. and that they are internationally
discharged into the intestine.
DR.. Davies and DIR. Hall found out
that these carriers often present in
tervals during which they are "inef-
fective"-i e.. do not lead to infec-
tion-and that their periods of effec-
tiveness correspond roughly with the
seasonal incidence of enteric fever.
There are many important points
that require solution in regard to these
cases, more especially in relation to
prophylaxiS and treatment, since at
present little is known as to any effec-
tive means of destroying the bacilli
within the body.-London Lancet.

Get has on several occasions recently
