Seven other cars were derailed but not
destroyed. Mail and passengers were
carried around that evening, but by
working all night force of 80 men sue

accident was due either to spread rail

That the Oregon Short Line il .seri-
ouoly considering the electrifying Of
it's entire railroad system in southern
Idaho from Pocatello or Montpelier
on the east to Huntington on the west
is the information that has been re-
liably given to Boise men who are
In close touch with the operations of
that road, says the Boise Capital
News. They havo been informed that
the Oregon Short Line has asked the
large electrical power companies oper-
ating in the southern part of this
state to submit bids on the furnish
ing of this power, basing their figures
on the power necessary to operate
cars on the entire main section of the
southern Idaho system
Railroad men claim that it is very
probable that definite action will be
taken by the Oregon Short Line to
prepare for the installation of the
necessary apparatus to electrify the
system, due to the fact that a great
reduction can be made in the cost of
operation. It is also claimed that the
Oregon Short Line is now crowded to
its capacity to handle the increasing
traffic over its southern Idaho road,
both passenger and freight It is for
the purpose of assisting in some meas
vre to relieve this situation that plans
have been made to double track the
system from Montpelier to Huntington.
Wishing to be in line with modern
railroad construction and estimating
on a very conservative basis that cleo
tricity is much cheaper in the great
southern Idaho electrical field than is
coal power, the Short Line is now
said to be taking the necessary steps
to advance along modern railway op-

American Rights to Turtle Culture
for tuberculosis Given Over to Com.

New York. May 1.-The American
rights to the turtle culture treatment
for tuberculosis brought to this coun.
try by DR.. F. F. Friedmann have been
sold This was admitted to the United

day, and confirmed by Morris Els

pany. the firm which has purchased
the rights. DR.. friedman said the
poor would be treated free.
DR.. friedman and Eisner were
busy today drawing up the first pa
pers clinching the argument which
has been entered into, and although
no formal statement was made it is
understood that the German savant
is to receive $125,00O cash and
81, 100000 in stock of thirty-six
friedman institutes which are to
be established in as many different
states in this country. The institutes
which are to be established are to

Friedman was in high spirits to-
day and as he and Eisner went over
the papers giving the latter's COM
pany the sole right to distribute the
tuberculosis treatment in this coun-

Both DR.. friedman and Eisner in
sisted that it would be impossible to
outline the detailed arrangement
under which tuberculosis patients
will be treated under contract until
the plan is definitely settled tonight.
It is understood that the first insti.
tute will be opened in New York
within few days. Others will be
established in all states except those
in which tuberculosis is practically
unknown. DR.. Friedman, it is I'M
derstood, will be given free hand
in arranging for assistants and
other details in the actual treatment

Washington, D. c., May 3.-The
state of Idaho is up in arms over a
statement published by Wisconsin
firm, and scattered broadcast through
the mails over the country, branding
Idaho alfalfa seed as infected with
weevil. kilograms and letters are
pouring into Senator Brady's Office
from the seed interests, state officials,
and other prominent Idaho citizens,
urging his support at Washington.
Senator Brady is giving the matter
careful attention He has laid be-
fore the postmaster general the facts
of the case in detail, and he will con-
tinue his activities until the affair is
thoroughly probed, and the parties
who are responsible for the slanderous
matter which was sent broadcast
through the mails are brought to JUS
tice.
The Idaho horticultural department
has conducted quiet investigation
and it is alleged that it was discovert d
that Wisconsin firm had flooded the
mails with literature branding the
states alfalfa seed as infected. It
is also alleged to have been discov-

a large amount of Idaho alfalfa seed
and, labelling it Montana seed, was
disposing Of it.
