Weiser Wonder Disabled.

Walter johnson of Weiser, Wash
ington's premier pitcher and one of
the star twirlers in the American
league, may never pitch another
game. Because of an injury to his
shoulder johnson was forced to
leave the team at Chicago and re-
turn home. The pitcher hurt
his arm during a recent game at
Cleveland. He said then that his
condition was such that he could not
play another game this season. 1t
is feared that one Of the ligaments
of Johnson's arm is torn and in that
case, there is only slight chance for
complete restoration. Johnson has
pitched 40 games this year and has
shown splendid form. Johnson's S
record for his first "a games shows
a total of 156 strikeouts to his credit.
He allowed 7S men to walk to first
and won II of the "a games, per-
centage of .353.

improvements at Canyon

The farmers on the north side of
the river below Black canyon are
making wonderful Improvements.
The land is being cleared, plowed
and leveled, and the crops thai
were planted in the spring are
thrifty. 1t is believed these lands
are admirably adapted to fruit
growing, being protected on the
north and south by hills and hav-
ing a constant circulation of air
through the canyon. The farther
most cultivatable land is owned by
Charlie Hedrick. He has built
COSY house and substantial out
buildings and has several acres of
vegetables that are thrifty. he is
planning to set out a good sized
orchard in the spring.

NEWS FROM THE FARMS
Fifteen and a Half Tons of
Onions from Three Acres

F. c. Campbell who is located
below town near the Falks store
bridge, has three acre field of
onions tn is conservatively esti-
mated will produce 15H tons OF
onions. That's a powerful sight
of onions all right. and once more
proves the wonderful fertility of
the soil in this section. Mr.. Camp.
bell brought samples of his crop to
town Monday and they are beau
ties. Three of them weigh nearly
three pounds and fairly make ones
eyes water. George Gordon, who
was over the field Sunday, says it
is the greatest sight he ever saw.
Some of Canfpbell's neighbors de-
clare the field will run $4,000
pounds. The crop was raised
without irrigation, but the soil subs
sufficiently to produce most any
crop. The selling price of onions
is from $1.25 to $1.5O per 100
pounds.

several months ago, aud no let up

lies to the upper country.
Fred Barnes, superinlt n lent of
the Dewey road, keeps the trail hot
between Emmett and Long Valley.
Vast quantities of supplies are
stored in barns and outbuildings
of farmers along the route enough
to last small army all winter.
The scene OF operations at pres
ent is in the Horseshoe Bend
country where a permanent camp
has been established The right OF
way has been surveyed and grade
stakes set beyond Smiths Ferry
and blue prints of the entire route
are now being made.
Representatives of the Weyer-
hauser company are constantly on
the ground and seem to be work
ing in conjunction with the rail-
road people. Advices from Horse
shoe Bend are to the effect that the
lumber company's mill is to be
built at that point, and that the
road is being backed by the Wey
erhauser interests in order to bring
down the timber from the upper
country to the Bend, and also to
furnish transportation for the pro-
ducts of the mill from that point
to the Short Line.
In order that tie heavy traffic
which the road will certainly Sc
cure through the Weyerhauser COM
bination and also from the farming
country of Long Valley and the
mines along the river may be
handled at the least expense, deep
cut will be made through the hills
west of town and the trestles
abandoned. To farmers along the
route the railroad officials have
given out the information that an
electric line is to be built. but this
is not believed to be true, although
for several months there has been
considerable talk that the newey
line is to be electrified. This could
be easily done, as the river all
along the route abounds in power
sites.

Novel Irrigation Scheme

Local capitalists are working on
plans fol- an irrigation project,
which if successful, will reclaim
every foot of land in Idaho The
plan is very simple and will re-
quire very little outlay of money to
carry it into execution. While the
details have not all been worked
out, the agricultural reporter has
ferreted out the salieut features.
Summed up it is proposed to plant
onions and potatoes in alternate
rows. The pungent odor of the
onions will cause the eyes of the
spuds to water and thus produce
sufficient moisture to irrigate the
land. It's a great scheme and
worthy of the colossal minds that
originated it.

The Canyon County Fair

Canyon county's fair for 1905
gives promise of being bigger and
better than ever. The directors
reaIizing that Canyon county 's
fairs ID the past has excelled all
other fairs in the northwest are de-
termined to make this years fair
retain its reputation. A force of
men were put TO work on the
grounds September 1st, and i'm
provements will be rushed and
nnished before time tor the ex-
hlblts-t -theIebysaving much annoy
ance and confusion on the opeuing
day.
There is much speculation as to
which precinct will carry off the
one hundred and fifty dollar cash
prize upon a general agricultural
and horticultural exhibit.
This cash prize is given by the
citizens of Caldwell. Roswell
won the big prize last year. Cald-
well precinct is barred from COM
petition.
Many special prizes are offered
by not only Caldwell's merchants
but by other merchants and dealers
in other towns.
Every resident il. Canyon county
should take personal interest in
Cany on county tair.
Remember 1t is not Caldwell's
fair alone, but is Canyon county 5
and has the reputation of being the
best fair in the best county in the
best state in the Union. A word
to residents of Canyon county: Do
not think because the frosts got a
few of our orchards and shortened
this year S fruit crop that it will in
lure our county or fair remember
Canyon county eXce's on grains,
grasses, vegetables and livestock,
and that many fruit growers will |
be at the fair with the finest ex-
hibits OF apples you ever saw in
any county.
Many inquiries for space and |
livestock stables is being made.
The directors believe this years
fair will be the biggest vet and are
preparing to care tor many more
and much larger crowds !
than last year.

My chief aim in life is to do all the

I feel that good training or indus

bless both races, bring about more
friendly relation between the races,
make the negro more, nseful, honest,
polite and religious. In other words,

physicians and business men; less err
rors, less trouble. Any institution
that tends to elevate the races intel
lectually, morally. financially and
spiritually, ought to be well supported
by all.
To our good white friends I will say
this: The negro is here and here to
stay; he is contented to stay; he is
ever ready to assist you in protecting
this great country; he is ever ready
to render you valuable service. He
realizes the fact that you are his
friends in the times of need-a friend
in need is friend indeed. He needs
your assistance all along life's path

to his disciples that without me We
can do nothing" We say that with

Let each of US strive to dispossess
himself of all selfishness, and in
that God-like spirit of brotherly
love, seal our devotion to tie cause
for the duties and conflicts which
arise before US. 1t is perfectly eth
ical. gentlemen, for the county med
ical association to look after and su-
pervise aims houses, iails, public
school buildings, and in fact all
buildings used or occupied by the
public In my judgment this is the
only way that the public will ever
become impressed with the import
ance of sanitation; and yet it is
ethical to bestir ourselves along
these lines. But, gentlemen, our
experience is that we should ever
maintain the dignity of our profess
sion and never to conduct ourselves
in such a way as to degrade our call
ing.
Now, | will go back just a little
and refer to temptations which are
often thrown in our way to induce
us to criticise a fellow. The public
is hanging breathless with interest
upon the opinion we may give.
Hence every mem Der of the profess
sion should recognize that it is I'M
ethical to throw out insinuations
that would reflect upon the honesty
of another mem Der of the profess

a man applies all his energies to the
treatment of some specific disease.
he is not relieved from the code of
medical ethics. Everything that has
a tendency to upbuild the profess
sion should be utilized to hold the
profession higher, give it more ex-
allied opinions that will raise and
keep it higher and above all things
else. In his professional itinerary
the physician is daily met by a
problem which is likely to lead him
into difficulties unless he thoroughly
understands and appreciates the
code of ethics. Be it said to their
shame some men are so peculiarly
constituted that their sole and only
stock in trade is their power and
ability is to speak slightingly of
others. Do not cry down; it is not
ethical, but is evidence of meanness
within, pure and simple. The time
was when the ideals of medicine
were high, very much more than a
name, was medical ethics. 1t has
been said and truthfully, that in the
good old days the doctor was the
best loved and most important man
in his community; he was the CEN
tire of influence from all things ra-
dated.
Above all things. gentlemen, be
conscientious. Your duty in med
ical things is inseparable from con-
science. The great evils which tempt
us professionally are Incidence, ig-
norance and selfishness. A much
needed consultation is delayed until
too late by a jealous fear. chiefly,
that some brother doctor may win
favor in the eyes of your patient.

would be impossible for me to de-

that has a tendency to
lpbuild the medical associations of

of public health in all its
works; come to the relief of the
health officer in his varied and ar
