TO THWART CONTRACT

Argument was heard by District
Judge Bryan Thursday afternoon at
Caldwell on demurrer presented by
Boise attorney on behalf of those
who opposed confirmation OF the
Nampa Meridian irrigation district
proceedings. This is the first legal
step taken to block the plan of ex-
tending the drainage system into the
Five and Ten Mile creek sections near
Meridian. Judge Bryan took the
matter under advisement If he over
rules the demurrer, the hearing of
the case will be held before the pres
ent term of court.
Officers of the Nampa- Meridian
district report having received defi-
mite proposal from the men who OBJ
ject to present extension plans. They
say the objectors offer to compromise
and drop their threatened campaign
of opposition through the courts if
the government and the district will
revise the present proposal and stop
the drainage extension two miles
short of the proposed limit The dis
trict officers intimate that there is
no possibility of putting through such
revision of the plans now elaborat-
ed. If this be true, it seems newt
able that the obiectors will succeed
in their apparent aim of blocking the
extension. BY the simple expedient
of appealing from an unfavorable de-
cision in the district court the pro-
testants will hold the matter up past
July /. II he new contract is not
signed before that time no contract
will be possible before the next ses-
sion of congress. News.

LoNGED FOR OLD BRISTOL.
George Brown Said to Have Started from
Concord, N. H., in Borrowed Engine.

Concord. N. H., March 9.George
Brown succumbed to longing for the
old home in Bristol, Vt, Sunday Being
minus the fare, he elected to take loco
motive left unguarded with steam up ON
a siding in the Concord railroad yard.
He rode the length Of the siding and po-
litely requested switchman to give
him passage on to the main line. The
swtchman, instead OF acceding to the
request, jumped into the cab and over
powered Brown. then sent for police
man.
Yesterday in police court, Judge Clark
held Brown in $500 for the April term
Of superior court, after he had heard the
story. Brown pleaded not guilty to
operating locomotive owned by the
Boston & Maine. The evidence against
him, however, was strong enough to
show probable cause to the court. Brown
was under the influence of liquor when
arrested and was booked as plain
drunk. but yesterday the seriousness OF
his ofIense caused change to be made
in the charge.
The possibility of a serious accident,
with probable loss of life, had Brown
got the engine on main line track. was
taken into consideration by the prose
cution.

MAY CHARGE MURDER
Against Officers and Men of German
Submarine US.

London, March 9.--The admiralty an.
nounces that it is not justified in ex-
tending honors to the captured crews OF
German submarine boats owing to their
methods and that it is intended to segrc-
gate them under special restrictions
pending their possible conviction at the
conclusion Of peace.
The admiralty states that this ruling
applies to the 20 officers and men of
German submarine US, which was sunk
recently off Dover.
The policy to be adopted toward the
crews of German submarines is in an
swer to the demand of Admiral Lord
Charles Beresford, retired, and Others
that such men be tried for murder and
the admiralty statement indicates that
the government has this in mind. The
sta tement refers to the generous treat
ment accorded German officers and men
saved numbering upward Of 1000 and
then says with reference to the Us:
"This vessel has been operating in the
Straits of Dover and in the English chan
mel and there is strong probability
that she had been guilty of attacking
and sinking unarmed merchantmen and
firing torpedoes at ships carrying non
combatants. neutrals and women. in
particular the steamer Oriole is missing
and there is grave reason to fear that
she has been sunk with all hands-20."

HELPING THE DOPE FIEND.
Pitiable Cases Are Received at the Dis
pensary in Burlington.

The most pitiable cases which have
applied at the free dispensary in Bur
| lington for the aid for which they cannot
pay physician are those of individuals
who wish to be relieved of the morphine
habit. Two of these, when they first
applied, were using 80 grains, or one
half dram, of the drug each day, by the
mouth and with the assistance OF the
hvpodermic needle. This action for relief
on their part may have been influenced
by the law recently passed by Congress,
known as the Harrison narcotic law,
which went into effect on March and
which makes it very difficult to obtain
the drug except for legitimate purposes
Thirty grains or one-half dram, OF
this narcotic taken in one day by per-
son means nothing to the layman, as he
has no idea of the power of this danger
Gus drug. But when it is known that
one eighth of one grain is generally the
amount given as the first dose, and it
was from this point that these two pa
tients started. increasing the dose gradu-
ally over a period of years, perhaps, to
the present dose, something OF the horror
of the habit is realized. One of the unal-
terable demands of this drug is that the
dose must be constantly increased in
small portions, if the same effect is to
be obtained. And the cure, ii ever the
patient is cured, must be effected by tax
ing the drug away little at time and
substituting other but bit-forming
drugs to take the place of the morphine
and control the nervous symptoms of
the patient.
Good, nourishing food and tonic to
build up the rundown system OF the
patient rayaged by the drug are also pre-
scribed. but the greatest aid in the cure
is the will power exerted by the patient
himself, as the suffering is intense and
prolonged. This viii power, which has
been greatly weakened during the habit
forming process, is often not strong
enough to stand the strain, and then
the inevitable end is the supervision of
the patient, with perhaps his commit
ment to an institution for such pur-
pose.
The most deplorable fact in regard to
the morphine fend is that he is not
thx one responsible for his condition IN
a large percentage of cases. His first
dose of the drug may have been given
by physician or trained nurse to quiet
him and relieve his suffering. The re-
sponsibility resting here with the physi-
clan to his patient is great, but fully
as great is the physicians obligation to
the patient in certain instances to relieve
pain, early and certainly, and in these
selected cases, under the control of the
physician, there is no drug that is equal
to opium or derivative of opium. The
patient, left TO himself and the drug at
hand to administer as he thinks its need
required. awakens too late TO the fact
that the habit has been permanently
formed. unless. be puts forth the supreme
will power which is required TO give up
the drug.
