we read WIN nOrrOf OF the dlmOSU
inhuman yet successful effort in Eng
land in the middle ages to stamp out
the scourge of leprosy. The unfortu-
nate sufferers were turned out of the;
city into the wilderness and forbidden
under pain of death, to speak with or
hold any communication with his
more fortunate fellows. He even car
ried a bell around his neck to dis
tinguish that he was leper. If he
saw anyone come, he must run away.
But out of the darkness Of this bru-
tai law, there sprang up beautiful
pious men, banded themselves togeth-
er and gathered up these poor lepers,
attended to them, treated them until
the disease died out. These houses
were afterwards turned into hospit-
ais. This formed the hospital sys-
tenn of England. From this system
the echo of their work has come down
to our own age.
NO PLACE FOR THE CONSUMP-
TIVES.
When once this disease is called
consumption, no boarding house, no
private family, no community is safe
from it's ravages. Who will shelter
them? The doctor turns to the hos
pital for the care of his patient, but
he finds that refuge for the sick is
also closed against the poor con-
sumptive. What have they then to
expect? A wait for death, a few
weeks, a few months, a miserable
life to serve. 1t is a shock to civ
ilized Christian people to find that
for one of the most pitiable forms
OF sickness there is provided no
shelter.

Jerry GoodselI Injured

While on his way home from Dry
Buck yesterday with load of lum-
Der, Jerry Goodsell fell from the
wagon and sustained injuries that
may cost him his life. The ac-
cident occurred one mile this side
of Sweet. The lumber on his
wagon got loose and while pulling
a pole to tighten his load, the pole
broke precipitating Mr. Goodsell
to the ground. He was brought
home last night in serious condi-
ton. The lower part of his BODY
is paralyzed from his waist down,
also both hands and portions OF
his arms. His physicians are of
the opinion his spine has been
seriously iujuled and his recovery
is doubtful. Jerry Goodsell is 10
wears of age and is one of the pio-
neers of the valley, and his many
friends will be panied to learn OF
his condition.

A Thorough School

The State Normal School at
Albion is gaining an enviable rep
usstiun ON account of tine splendid
scholarship of its students. Last
fail one of the graduates from its
four years course went to the Uni-
versity of Michigan and was given
sophomore standing in that great
university. Another was given
advanced freshman standing in the
University of Chicago. One young
man who had just finished his
third year at Albion was given
freshman standing at the Univer-
sity of California. Another young
mar in the same class got like
standing in the Iowa State College.
In each case the students received
standing at least year in advance
of what he would have received if
he mad attended a high school or
other preparatory school for a like
period. This certainly speaks well
for the scholastic standard main,
tanned by the Albion institution.

R. R. OFFICIALS HERE
On Annual Tour of Inspec>
ton, so it is Said

The arrival Sunday morning of
Short Line special. having on
board prominent officials of that
road, has again started rumors
that the Idaho Northern is about
to change hands. but the Nampa
Herald has knocked these rumors
galley west and shattered onr fond
hopes of through line TO Butte,
That paper says the visit of these
officials has no significance what
ever and that their trip over the
Dewey road was purely one Of in
spection and is tour of annual
occurrence That settles it. When
it comes to building railroads on
paper, this great family guide ac-
knowledges no rival except the
Boise paper, but we're going to
have another railroad one of these
days if we have to build it our
self. and if our delinquent SUBJ
scribers will pay up all at once.
DANCED if we don't do it.
The party was composed of w.
H. Bancroft, vice president of the
Short Line; W. H. Jones. superin-
tendent; W. Ashton, chief engi-
neer and ]. F. Dunn, master me-
chanic, and were chaperoned by
E. H. Dewey. They were piloted
through the railroad park and
shown the animals in The jungles.
thence strolled up one side of Main
street and back on the other, picked

longing eyes at Ed. Hayes prune

LOCAL CAPITAL READY
To Reclaim North Side Pay
ette-Boise Lands

The action of the Clinton HURT
Irrigation Company of Bose in I'll
ing upon sufficient water to irrigate
the lands in what is known as the
North Side Pavette- Boise project,
and the announcement that they are
ready to begin work as soon as the
government felinquishes that part
of the property. is of especial in
crest to the Emmett country.
The ClintonHurtt company is
one of the agents of the Trow-
bridge Niver company. builders OF
the Canyon canal, and this move
on their part is not surprise to
those who are close touch with ir-
rigation matters in this section,
The Trowbridge company has been
anxious for some time to take hold
of this project. and they are abund-
antly able to finance it. 1t is be-
lieved here that if the Hurtt COM
pany are successful in carrying out
their plans, the new project and
the Canyon Canal will be merged
in one, the present main ditch being
enlarged to carry the volume OF
water required. In that event the
government dam site at Black
canyon would not be used.
In reply to questions, Mr.. HURT
stated to the Salesman: The gov
ernment when it began work on
this project thought that the funds
were sufficient to finish all the
work which had been planned on
both north and south sides. 1t
developed sometime ago, however,
that the appropriation was quite
insufficient and the reclamation
service decided to use that portion
of the money which had been laid
aside for the development of the
north side of the work on the op-
posite side of the river. This
money was taken and used and
now they find that there is not
enough money in sight to com
plete the reclamation ON the south
side.
SIT has been the policy of the
government or the reclamation ser
vice not to interfere in any way
with private projects where private
capital is being used to further the
reclamation of the arid country
and it is quite likely, in view of
their past decisions, to withdraw
from the north side of the Payette-
Boise project.
s'When this part of the project
is completed $4,000 acres of arid
land will be under irrigation and
the work, which otherwise would
be delayed for an indefinite period,
will be carried out in very short
time ,,

The Dewey Extension

Surveying for the extension of the
Dewey road goes merrily OIL. The
crew is now in the Long. valley
country. Commenting on the
activity Of the Idaho Northern
company, the Capital News of the
18th contains the following:
E. H. Dewey, promoter of the
extension of the Dewey-road from
Emmett to Horseshoe Bend and
RoseherIy at the head of the Long
Valley country and which will tap
the extensive timber holdings of
the Payette lumber company, has
been given until the first of October
of this year in which to make a
favorable report to the Weyerhaus-
er interests with reference to the
construction of an extension of the
Dewey road into the Long valley
country. There is now every indi-
cation that the Weyerhauser lumb-
er syndicate operating in colleague
with the Payette Lumber company,
is making strenuous efforts to push
the construction of railroad into
its timber belt in order to save its
interests. This information was
CLEANED from Hi Henry, the Horse
shoe Bend coal mine operator, who
was in Boise yesterday and who
believes that the construction of
the extension would solve the per-
picking problem of proper Trans
portation facilities for his coal
mine

cooperation of local builders,

At Caldue and Nampa flourish

IF the leading citizens of the re-

such an organization in Emmett in
assisting in the development and
growth of the town is manifes',
and there should be no hesitation
about taking stock in the company.
1t is particularly urged upon those
who are interested in building to
take stock in the company while

avail himself of the loan privilege,

George Ingman, Survivor of
Overland Stage Line.

After 50 years of continuous SER
vice as stage driver. George Ing
man, known to practically every
phone, of tine West between the
Missouri river and the Cascade
mountains. is quietly spending the
evening of his life at Sweet. He
is one of the few survivors of the
drivers of the Overland stage line
that operated from Atchison. Kan.
to the coast. In fact. so far as he
knows, he is the only one left. He
is still hale and hearty. and his SO
years sit lightly upon his broad
shoulders and stocky frame, and he
frequently relieves the drivers on
John Hall stage line between this
CITY and Van Wyck. Two years
ago he was in continuous service
all summer, making the journey
every day between Ola and Smith s
Ferry.
George Ingman's experiences
during his more than half cen
tury's service as stage driver would
fill large volume with as thrilling
tales as were ever recounted, and
his escape from death many times
was miraculous. In 1867 he was
the agent of the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company and his trip as from
North Platte. Wyo., to Sulphur
Springs. The stage ran in two
sections, one carrying passengers
and the express and the other
freight. When out IA miles, at
Sage Creek, the passenger stage
was attacked by 40 Indians. At
the first fusilade, the driver, Jim
Nichols by name. was shot through
the neck and killed. Ingman took
the lines and drove for a knoll,
where it was decided to make
stand. With the three passengers,
the Indians were kept off for seven
hours, when an eniigrant tram
coming in the distance attracted the
Indians and the stage reached Sui
phur Springs, with the loss of two
mules. Ingman was shot through
the arm with an arrow, but the
wound as not serious one. At
time on the same route be
was held up by four men and a
woman and the express company
and the passengers were robbed of
$4,000. The woman now lives in
Mr.. Ingman S first experience as
driver was in 1852 between Daven-
port and Blue Grass. Iowa. The
Rock Island railroad at that time
was within Is miles of Rock |
Island. III. He saw the first bridge |
built across the Mississippi river,
in 1855.
In 1861 he drove for the Over
land stage from st. Joseph, Mo-,
to Kennekuk, Kan, a distance of
"a miles and FIVE years later went
to Atchison, Kan. and was given
the finest SIX horse outht on the
Overland. These horses were
