StInmpe Medical Case.

A case interesting from a medica
standpoint is that of &. w. Par.
ker, who is at the Woodward hos
pital. Parker claims to be su fer.
ing the most excruciating pain
| whenever he is touched or moved
although there is not the Slight
est external evidence of bruise or
wound on his person. To make
fesses not to know himself what
il is that gives him the pain eX-
cept that he was on the Payette
Valley train that came in Saturday
evening and fell over in the aisle as
box car on the siding cornered "a
coach as the train slowly backed in
to the station. There were Wo
men and children in the coach and
not the slightest injury was recelv-
ed by any of them; in fact the
speed of the rtain was such that no
one could have been hurt Par
Ker says he was standing up in
lie aisle and that another man fell
over him, breaking his hold from a
seat, and he fell over on his back.

Parker claims to have been en-
ployed on the railroad work at
Emmett and it is the opinion of
Payette physicians think that he
is what is known as a "malinger-
er"-one who makes a business OF
collecting damages rom railroads.

\ Attorney Generals OF ice Dissents
According to the opinion of tn,
attorney generals office, as express
I ed by o. M. Van Duyn, assis. ant at
torney general, the residents o.
highway districts in Canyon coun
lty, or any county in the state fol
THAT matter, are not exempt from
Vthe bonded Indebtedness of the
county as a whole when the bonds
referred to are voted upon for
1.-THE purpose of providing funds
to construct bridges or other high
way improvements. The opinion
by Mr.. Van Duyn was made pub
lie yesterday. 1t was given in rep
ly to query from Canyon county
where people residing in a regular
ly formed highway district raised
an objecting to contributing what
was apportioned as their share
of a bond issue voted upon to
build three steel bridges. They ad-
vanced the claim that the highway
district was created upon the lunda-
mental principle that the residents
thereof were to build roads and
bridges within the confines Of the
district as they were disposed and
that the raising and expenditure
of the funds necessary for high
way Improvement was to be done en-
tirely at the jurisdiction of the
residents of the district and with
out any Interference or assistance
from the county commissioners, who
would be, of course, acting in the
interests of the county as a whole.
In view of this claim the residents
accordingly objected to being sub
ected to pay portion of the
bond issue voted upon by the en-
ire county for the bridge fund. Mr..
Van Duyn, however, qualities his
opinion by saying that in section
IS, after the word provided there
ire certain expressions that would
end to let one think by inference
hat it was possibly the intent of
he Legislature to exclude said high
5ay from bonds. But this, as

REFUSE BRIDGE BONDS
Eastern Buyers Question Legality
uf the Issue.

Regardless of the opinion that ms
be rendered by the attorney gener-
al or the courts, the Harris Trust &
Savings Bank of Chicago, have by
their attorneys re used to accept the
bonds voted at the special election
in August to provide for the cree
ton of three bridges across the Pay
cite river in the northwest cor
ner of Canyon county. When the
question was raised the commission
ers of the Nampa highway district
contended that the district is not a
party at interest and should not be
included in the call for the special
election, but the county commission
ers acting on the advice of the coun.
ty attorney decided otherwise and
the proposition to bold was voted
on by the people of the district and
they gave a majority in favor of the
bond issue. Following this the bonds

attorneys for the trust company the
question of the liability of highway |
districts was raised and it seems b |

were not liable.
The contention o. the Nampa com

Secretary Moore was that by the

were exempt from bridge taxation

ORCHARD FERTILIZATION
Unique System Employed in Lewis
ton Orchards.

During the recent visit to th'
Lewiston Orchard Tract my a
tention was called to an unique sys
TEN of Irrigation and fertilization
of the soil as practiced by one OF
the fruit and vege. able growers in
that district. The irrigation water
instead of being run directly be-
tween the rows was first turned a
gainst a manure pile that had
been hauled close to the hydrant.
The water as 1t drained away from
the manure pile to the rows of
fruit and vegetables was thus more
suitable for irrigation because it
carried with It suspended organic
matter and certain valuable fer
tilizing elements.
1t may be interesting to many to
know the chemical elements that tn,
soil gains by this particular sys-
TEN of irrigating and fertilizing. The
water, besides carries with it large
amount of organic matter, dissolves
from the pile of barnyard manure
organic and ammoniacal compounds
of nitrogen, potash, and small a
mounts of phosphoric acid, Chords,
sulphates and nitrates. All these
plant foods, however, would be of
no value unless they were placed
in a proper condition for assimila-
tion by growing plants.
From experiments carried on in
leading experiment stations it has
been found that when such a solu-
tion passes through any soil GER
tain chemical changes due to inter
actions with zeolities, humus and |
calcium carbonate take place. Al |
most all the organic compounds
nitrogen and a large part of the
compounds of nitrogen,
the potash and phosphoric acid
are retained by the soil; while the
sulphates and Chords of
sodium and calcium which make up
only a small part of the dissolved
plant food are sparingly If at all
absorbed The soil also exerts a
physical absorptiye power for these
various fertilizing elements. This
Is due to the fact that the surface
)f a solid possesses the power o
molecules of any dis
solved substance in the layer of {
solution with which il is immed- I
ately in contract. This method /
II irrigating and fertilizing is to Y
,e highly commended as by 1t the a
nost important elements for any sys
EN- of farming are applied to the b
oil in such a manner as to become a
eadily available for plant food. q

ACCOUNTS OF GEORGE
MILLS ARE SETTLED

The cloud that has been hanging
over George E. MDls, the collector of
Middlesex Council. No. LOO, Royal
Arcanum, since his books were
placed in the hands of the auditing
committee, was lifted this morning,
when the committee announced that
everything had been arranged salts
factory between them and Mr.. Mills.
The committee, it is said, after go
ing over the books, found that there
had been no intent on the part of
the collector to defraud the council
out of a penny. Mr.. Mills, when his
books were taken by the auditors, it
was stated, said that there was a bal
ance which he owed the council and
as soon as it was made known to
him, he promptly settled the amount
with the auditors. He received a re-
ceipt for the amount and the books
are all right.
1t is stated by one of the commit
tee that nothing was discovered that
woud indicate that Mr.. Mills had
even the slightest inclination to be
dishonest or to defraud either the
lodge Or members.

ST. SWITHIn'S
DAY TOMORROW

July IS, popularity known as Saint
Swithin's day, falls tomorrow and it
is commonly believed that if rain falls
on that day 1t will rain for six weeks
after. Saint Swithin was an English
prelate of the ninth century. He was
a~Ssd to the priesthood in $50,
was Charged with the education of
Prince Alfref. and in 852 ~made
bishop of Winchester. He died7about
ten years later and was ~canohized a
century later.
The popular knowledge OF this
saints name is due to the belief that
If rain falls on July IS, 1t will rain
six weeks after. This notion Is said
to have arisen from the fact that
when the bones Of Saint Swithin
were about to be removed, after his
canonization, from their original
resting place in Winchester church
yard to the interior of the cathedral,
their removal, which was to have ia
ken place on July Is, was delayed
for forty days by excessive rains.

P. S. C. WILL
OPPOSE FINE

The Public Service Railway Com
pany is continuing Its fight against
the payment of a fine of S15 imposed

It's cnductor, Frederick Miles, had
elected Patrolman John Durham
from a car because he refused to pay
a fare. The corporations counsel,
L. D. H. Gilmore, called upon Recor-
der Kehoe yesterday and secured pa
pers in the police court case in which
Miles was fined.
1t appears as though the company
Will go on without paying the fine,
for the city authorities do not feel
disposed to continue its fight to com
pei the payment. The company has
obtained a writ of certiorari and Is
proceeding with the cast in a higher
court, apparently unopposed by the
