rnE WEEK IN couRr.
Several Cases Disposed Of In the
Usnal Manner.

The cases on the trial docket for
this term Of the district court Of Ell
more county are being rapidly dis
posed Of and justice meted out to
those entitled to the same. Judge
Walters viii probably complete his
labors by next Friday.
The big water case which was dis
posed of early in the term. was the
most important case on the docket
and the disposition made Of it
on the whole. after the first an
nouncement seems to be generally
regarded as the most feasible and
logical result.
So far one crimianl case has been
tried, the case of the State VS.. Zaclk
Hays, in which the defendant was ac-
quilted. Several civil cases have
been tried, some continued for the
term, and various dispositions made
OF others In the case of J. A. Mid
neau VS.. Utility Power Company, Ia
demurrer to plaintiffs evidence was
sustained
The docket for this term of the
district court was unusually long
and it is certainly gratifying to the
tax payer to note the mastery man,
ner in which Judge Walters is so
quickly and satisfactorily disposing
of the various controversies, thus re-
ducing the cost and expense inciden-
tai to the administration Of justice.

Waste.

No one ever reads advertise
ments," says the scoffer. Il never
do"
Many people do not read advertise
ments That is a fact beyond dis
pute and the advertiser, whether he
uses newspaper or magazine. newt
ably pays for many insertions of his
announcement where his argument
cannot possibly affect the reader. for
it is not read And this is waste.
But is waste of this character con-
fined to advertising? BY no means.
1t costs the average advertiser one
tenth of a cent per copy to insert his
announcement in a publication.
1t costs this same advertiser from
fifty cents to one dollar to send a
salesman to make a call
But can a salesman be sent out to
canvass without waste?
The answer is-No Some Of those
on whom he calls are out. refuse
to see him. others refuse to listen.
This man who says no one reads ad-
vertisements would stretch the truth
no farther if he said no one listens
to statesmen.
A man in buying a space i'm the
newspaper occupies position in
many respects similar to a man who
rents a store. Perhaps the rental Of
the store is five thousand dollars per
year Is the store always full Of cus-
toners? BY no means. In many
stores at this time Of the year you
viii find no one but the clerks. This
Of course represents waste waste Of
rent. Even the little butcher shop
has sign on the window: ice boxes
closed from to p. M" In other
words, Nothing doing" OF course.
this is waste waste of rental, help
and equipment
They say that in battle it takes a
mans weight in lead to kill him-so
many shots miss the mark
The man who condemns advertis-
ing because he does not read it might
be called consummate ass, but we
would not think Of using language so
violent We merely state that he is
suffering from an anemic condition
of the brain cells.

.SUNNYSIDf CONSIDERED
by STATE LAND BOARD
Approves the Segregation and Calls For a
Report From Engineer Before
Taking Final Action

At meeting of the State Land
Board held in Boise on Saturday last,
the Southern Idaho Reclamation
company presented its proposal for
the segregation under the Carey Act
of $1,000 acres of land in what is
known as the Sunnyside district
This proposal was accepted by the
board without dissenting vote, and
the matter was passed up to the State
Engineer for his approval and report
1t is anticipated that the state engin-
eer will have his report ready to sub
NIT to the board at its next meeting
and that the segregation will be
made without delay thereafter
This is the elimination of the work
undertaken by the organizers of the
Southern Idaho Reclamation Com
pany last March. and which has been
prosecuted without interruption ev-
er since. The project presents many
difficult engineering feats. but it's
feasibility and practicability has been
demonstrated without a doubt The
area to be segregated and reclaimed
is recognized as. possibly, the most
fertile in Southern Idaho; and those
who have been holding land Nin that
district are congratulating themsel-
$es on the bright outlook. This tract
of land has been practically all filed
upon and the entrymen are all ready
to purchase water and improve their
lands. and unlike other Carey act
D'ibjects, there will be very little land

The growing importance of the
merchant marine as a national issue
is being recognized in all parts of the
country. Representative w. r.
Humphrey, Of the First Washington
District has gone on a tour of the
country. to make addresses on this
subject in all the important cities of
south, east and middle west before
the opening Of congress. President
Taft has said that the time for restor-
ative legislation is at hand and il is
believed that a reasonable subsidy
measure can be enacted in the near
future. The whole purpose Of the
agitation is to get enough American
ships in the foreign carrying trade
so that the greater part Of the $780,
100000 which we are now paying
to foreign ship owners to transport
our going and coming careoes, will
be kept in the pockets Of home folk.

Religious Play of High Standing Sc
cured for this City.

Every now and then some man or

vital principles in book or a play
That is what Oretses U. Bean. then
of Springville, sought to do with the
play called "Corianton" The play
has been seen for the past two weeks
at the Colonial Theatre, and pre-

"Corianton" presents phases of

which they are familiar furnished

Tuberculosis Spread Through Infected
Milk.

Mr.. Nathan Straus, of New York,
widely known in the United States for
his philanthrOpic work in the metro
polls. made an informing address a
ieW days ago before the international
Medical Congress at Budapest. His
SUBJECT was the increase of tubercu-
losis In New York. and he held that
this disease cannot be held in check
unless we go back to the proven
source OF much human tuberculosis"
I'VE must not he declared, "stop at
protecting the healthy from human
injection, but we must save the we'll
fron the Infection that may Iurk un-
suspected in raw milk"
Mr.. Straus maintains that the num-
per OF new cases of tuberculosis is in
creasing in New York in spite of bet
ter housing and working conditions.
Since 1902 the population of that city
has increased 26 per cent. while. ac-
cording to the New York philanthrop-
ist, the spread of tuberculosis has ad
ded 144.172 persons to the armv of
consump ptives within the last eight
years. The skill of physicians in treat
Ing tuberculosis has reduced the death
rate from that disease from PAP per
1000 in 1902 to 2.29 per 1000 in
I9oS, but the figures presented by
MT Straus show that 1.-The number Of
deaths from tuberculosis in propor-
ton to the total number of deaths
from all causes has increased from
1904 per cent. in 1902 to 1890 per
cent. in 1905"
Mr.. tSraus' suggestion that infected
milk is largely the cause of the alarm
Ing increase in the number of new
cases of tuberculosis in New York
ought TO command serious considera-
ton on the part of the health author
itles and medical scientists of that
city If his conclusions are warranted
by the facts. New York is fighting an
unequal battle against the great white
piague. The city is sparing no
efrort to protect the healthy from hu-
man injection, but it does not it an

against the spread of tuberculosis
through infected milk. Mr.. Straus'

| fiection not only in New York but to
2ll other American cities. The danger
TO the health Of the public from the
use OF infected milk ought to be thor
oughly investigated, and the proper
safeguards should be provided by mu-
nlcipal authorities wherever the peril
exists

1t seems that the grounding is un-

the defense of the grounding. He
bespeaks consideration for it in the

Orphanage Work Day.

Attention Is called to the concert of
action among the orphan institutions
OF South Carolina with regard to a
special work day effort Saturday Sept
25, next. Thornwell Orphanage, Con-
ME Maxwell Orphanage and Epworth
Orphanage have definitely planned
for the success of the day and are
circulating literature upon the sub
ject We presume that every orphan
institution, Of whatever size or under
whatsoever auspices. will be glad to
have It's friends remember it on this
day.
The plan is simple enough. Let
every boy and girl, every man and
woman, young and old, devota the
income of the day to the Orphanage
of his choice. Some of the children
nay pick cotton, others may gather
up old iron and sell it, some will do
odd jobs. others will devote their SAL
ary or wages of the day to the care
)f the orphans.
Coming down to the plain truth. is
there any cause that warns the
cookies of the heart like the plea for
the fatherless? Let the people join
in the work day effort Sept. 25. and
roll up big amount for the orphans,
ana forward the same to such inst-
tuition as each may select.-Baptist
