CYLINDER AND GROUND LEG
OFF BELOW THE KNEE-WILL
PROBABLY RECOVER.

Emil Anderson, who lives near the
Joslyn farm near Grano, nearly lost
his life when he slipped and fell mIo
the cylinder Of separator Wednes-
day. His right foot and ankle were
ground off and the teeth tore the flesh
Of his leg to ribbons, breaking the
bones of the lower part Of his leg in
several places. He was working as
separator man at the Dinger farm at
the time of the accident.
The machine was stopped quickly
and the leg was bound with handker-
chiefs to stop the flow Of blood. The
man was taken to the Lansford hospi-

the knee. He will probably recover.
Anderson has a wife and several

FOUND WORKS OF STEVENSON
Manuscripts and Works Of Popular
Writer Unearthed In Samoa and
Hawaii, by an Admlrer.

1t is learned that number OF new
and relatively important manuscripts
OF Robert Louis Stevenson have been
discovered in Samoa and in Honolulu
by an ardent admirer OF the great
novelist, who had been for some time
in both Hawaii and Samoa seeking
such writings of the famous Scotsman
as might possibly be found in the pos
session OF some Of the many friends
of Stevenson during his years in the
Pacific.
The result of this research has been
the finding OF an essay. said to be
highly poetical in character. written
by the novelist after witnessing vol
cano in action. supposedly either the
famous crater OF Savaii or the pit OF
Kilauea in Hawaii; a piece of fiction
dealing with South Sea life. and a
number of smaller verse compost
tions.
Still another manuscript, blank
verse relation of well-known legend
OF Maui, OF considerable length, but
unfinished. has also come to light. and
the enthusiastic admirer Of Stevenson
feels highly rewarded for his month
of effort.

to more than a thousand Republicans
from all over the country. He spoke
fer more than an hour. His defense OF
his administration was the legislative

personal criticism was that he had
been more misunderstood than blame
worthy. His attack upon his political
opponents-confined almost exclusive
ly to the ProGressives-was not bitter,
but sorrowful.
IN spite of all the misrepresentation.
the unrest, tine present-day desire for
change, the President said he saw in
the future a return to the old ideas OF
government, tho awakening of the peo-
pie to an understanding that social
changes must be made slowly and
with sure steps. He closed with an
appeal to Republican, who left the
party to return and join hands with

Growth Of Drug Habit In United states
Alleged to Be Due to opiates
Ordered In Prescriptions.

That 80 per cent. of all the cocaine
and morphine manufactured In this
country Is used by persons who have
formed the drug habit through physi-
clans prescriptions is the startling
statement made by DR.. L. F. Kebler.
Chief Of the Division Of Drugs. Depart
ment OF Agriculture. This statement.
concerning the appalling growth Of
drug addiction In the United States,
was made by DR.. Kebler in an address
at Washington, before the American
Society for the Study of Alcohol and
Narcotics.
DR.. Kebler is quoted by Washington
papers as having declared that drug
using had increased 100 per cent. in
the last 40 years, and that American
medical men were not discriminating
enough in their use of opiates. Their
overindulgence to their patients. he
said. 10 creating thousands of drug
users every year.
ut 10 q very sad thing to say that
our physicians are doing the greatest
work in promoting the use Of cocaine
and morphine" said the doctor. State
laws are not saving the public from
the grip Of the drug habit. and the
American public is sinking tighter
and tighter into the black abyss OF
the morphine and cocaine nend.
THE worst of 1t is that the impor-
tation Of opium into the country 10
becoming larger and larger year by
year. 1 have heard 1t said on reliable
authority that 80 per cent. Of the CO
caine and morphine manufactured in
this country is used by persons who
have formed the habit through doc
tors prescriptions"
Almost simultaneously with DR.. Keb-
ler's address, DR.. ]. A. Patterson. at
Grand Rapids. Michigan. in a public
statement said that 10 out Of every 20
patients who come to an institution
with which he is connected for treat
ment for the drug habit owe their
downfall to physicians prescriptions.

NEW MARKET FOR
SOUTHERN IDAHO

Under the heading, "Idaho Looks
This Way" recent issue of the San
Francisco Call contains the following
editorial:
Commercial San Francisco and all
this section of California ought to
listen with interest to talk of a rail
road cutoff from Boise, Idaho, to the
Western Pacific at Winnemucca, New.
That little bit of road-250 miles
would bring us the business of one Of
the west 8 most fertile sections, giving
it a market and an outlet here for its
vast production and opening to us
new field very well worth exploita-
tion.
South and central idaho have long
wanted a connection between Boise
and Winnemucca ANY time since that
part of idaho began to be developed
the Southern Pacific could have given
it to them. It's line is only few
yards from the Western Pacific at
Winnemucca. But, say the Idaho peo-
pie, the Hartman system has always
refused on the ground that the cutoff
would "demoralize rates.
Likely enough. 1t would certainly
give the Snake river valley cheaper
and quicker access to better market
than ii finds via Hartman lines,
which put it 500 miles from Portland
and 436 miles from Salt Lake. The
cutoff would mean to the older system
considerable investment for a trade
which it already holds tight and would
also open the way for competition.
Probably the Western Pacific would
have started for Idaho from Winnie
mucca before now if il had the money.
Undoubtedly it would assist any in
dependent movement in that direction
Local capital in Idaho is thinking the
matter over, and finds it so attractive
tat it unoffically asas San Francisco
to lend a hand
Practically all the way from Winnie
mueca to Boise there is fine business
waiting for transportation, and it win
be greater in the early future. The
sutoff would run straight through
two large irrigation projects now un-
der construction, with a total develop
ment of more than million fat
acres. So it would not be a case of
building across wide, barren area to
connect a source of production and a
market; freight enough to make the
line pay from the jump will be stacked
up at every siding before the roadbed
has had time to settle.
Hhere is San Francisco s chance,
both for enterprise and for money.
bonds for such railroad project
should be like money in the bank, and
its stock ought to be as good. The
total of the investment would be a
tr;fle compared with the permanent
benefits to this city and this part of
the state.

NATIVE OF wINNEMUCCA
RETURNS AFTER FORTY YEARS

Lucius G. Pease, native or WIN
nemucea, returned yesterday, after an
absence of forty years. Mr.. Pease is
the son of the late Locus G. Pease,
the man who named Winnemucea, and
who was engaged here in the early
days in the mercantile business, in a
building which stood on the present
site of Grandel's tailor shop. After
the death of his parents, in 1873, Mr..
Pease moved away, and eventually en-
gagged in literary pursuits, attaining
prominence as a eartoonist. Up to the
time of its merger, about year ago,
with the Sunset magazine, he was
editor of the Pacific Monthly, pub
lshed at Portland, Oregon.
Mr.. Pease, who has decided to cast
his fortunes with New York journal
ism, stopped off in Winnemucca, on his
way to Gotham, to superintend the re-
moval of the remains of his parents
from the old to the new cemetery.
